We've got a fun one at B/R today.

@danfavale.bsky.social, @jaydunbar.bsky.social, myself and a few others did a 5-year re-draft with the 2020-2024 NBA draft classes. You'll never believe who goes No. 1 overall!

🚨 NEW: From coaches to players, everyone on the LA Clippers has echoed a message of calm and saying they’ll “get better.” It’s been a theme for 18 games. Following Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, it’s time to stop talking about it and start being about it.

Two years ago tonight, the Pistons lost their 13th game in a row, part of a franchise-worst 28-game losing streak.

anthony black is now 3-of-6 on step-back threes this season 👀

(he was 5-of-14 last year)
Anthony Black just hit a crossover step back three. It is officially that kind of game for the #Magic.

Orlando is shooting 15 for 28 (53.6 percent) from deep. Completely dismantling the #Clippers at this point.

NEW: For weeks, a mysterious figure was embedded in the Pelicans' inner circle. The team now confirms Jordan Dumars, son of EVP Joe Dumars, is a "Basketball Operations Consultant."
