Bradley Beal confirmed how the John Wall era ended
After events during Summer 2020: “They [management] were like, we’re done.”
“It was out of my hands. I was coming to camp thinking John’s ready to go.”
“If I could go back, I wish we could’ve had [one more shot].” – 5:25 PM

Bradley Beal on The Draymond Green Show wishes the Wizards were a more attractive free agency destination because DC is a great sports town, but knows that lack of winning big & history of locker room drama has hurt them. Alludes trade is the more likely avenue of adding talent. – 4:52 PM

Russell Westbrook on Sunday matchup with Pelicans: “It’s going to be a playoff-type of atmosphere for us. It’s definitely a must-win I believe for our group.” – 1:12 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Final: 76ers 126, Lakers 121
Considering they were without LeBron and AD, this was an impressive showing from LA. They are now 31-42. Dwight Howard had 24 points and 8 rebounds. Russell Westbrook had 24 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
Up next: at New Orleans on Sunday. – 12:40 AM

Lakers were in it most of the game, but fall to Philly 126-121, cutting their lead over NOP to just 1/2 game and SAS to just 2 games for the play-in tourney. Dwight 24p on 9-of-14 8r; Westbrook 24p 9r 8a; Monk 23p; Melo 20p 7r; Stanley Johnson 13p on 5-of-7 8a 5r. – 12:38 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
FINAL: 76ers 126, Lakers 121
A gritty effort in a game that the Lakers were almost predestined to lose. Fourth straight game in which Russell Westbrook has at least 20 points and 8 assists. Lakers clinch a losing season, but an admirable effort nonetheless. – 12:37 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Final: Sixers 126, Lakers 121.
LAL battled throughout the evening, but Embiid (30 points, 10 boards) and the backcourt combo of Maxey and Harden (45 points, 14 assists combined) were too much.
Westbrook had 24, 9 and 8, and Howard 24 and 8. – 12:37 AM

Halftime: 76ers 61, Lakers 52
The Lakers were outscored 34-22 in the second quarter. Stanley Johnson remains LA’s leading scorer (13 points) despite not scoring in the second. Russell Westbrook has 4 points (2-8 FGs), 4 rebounds + 4 assists. PHI is winning the possession battle. – 11:14 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Turnovers (mostly from Westbrook) are pretty much the only thing you can realistically criticize for the Lakers in first half, given the circumstances. They’ve legitimately played quite well. AK – 11:13 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Yet another new starting lineup for the Lakers tonight:
Westbrook, Reaves, Johnson, Gabriel and Howard
It’s the 35th one of the season, the most since 2013-14 (also 35). – 9:31 PM

📅 On this day in 1974, the Sonics’ Fred Brown scored a career-high and franchise-record 58 points in a 139-137 win over the Warriors.
Brown still holds a share of the franchise scoring mark with Russell Westbrook, and his 24 FG made remains the franchise’s single-game record. pic.twitter.com/a8G3dT69Xj2:01 PM

Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh
Russell Westbrook writes left-handed, throws left-handed and brushes his teeth left-handed. So why does he shoot righty? On this week’s @bballilluminati, I posit that Russ is shooting with the wrong hand. @Amin Elhassan @LeBatardShow @CornPuzzle 👁 https://t.co/vaivd5hcFf pic.twitter.com/2HBXr9TLqW1:17 PM

Joel Ayayi has high expectations. He doesn’t put a ceiling on him and his main goal is to establish himself in the NBA. He learned a lot next to Bradley Beal and wants to prove he deserves a chance at Wizards/NBA.

More on this storyline

With the Los Angeles Lakers’ flat-lining season experiencing a bit of a blip with Monday’s 131-120 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James says he still has something left to play for. “I’m literally having the time of my life right now,” James said after the Lakers finished their four-game road trip by winning two of their final three. “The game’s such a beautiful thing.” -via ESPN / March 22, 2022
