Serge Ibaka with a really nice Loud City ovation.
Air Congo was a fan favorite in OKC.
And he’s arguably the biggest reason why the Thunder have SGA, Tre Mann and all those Clippers draft picks. – 8:29 PM

Serge Ibaka got a nice ovation when he checked in.
Ibaka and Daigneault greeted each other near the scorer’s table, which is a reminder of how long Daigneault has been with the organization. He and Ibaka overlapped for two seasons in OKC. – 8:26 PM

Rebounding numbers are often weird and tough to navigate.
The Bucks missed only 40 shots on Sunday and send extra bodies to the offensive glass. The Magic do not and missed 31 shots in the first half.
Ta-da, DA has 10 rebounds at halftime. – 8:12 PM

Denver’s odds of avoiding the play-in tournament are good. They have a balanced schedule over the last 17 games & a 3-loss lead on the Timberwolves.
Oh, & Minny has a 10-game stretch coming up featuring MIA, SAS, LAL, MIL, DAL, PHX, DAL, BOS, TOR & the final matchup with DEN. – 7:26 PM

Dort has a $1.9M team option for 2022-23.
He will become a RFA if the option is declined.
If the option is picked up, he is eligible for a 4 year $58M extension. – 6:43 PM

From what Mark Daigneault said, it doesn’t sound like any of Dort, Muscala or Jerome will be back around the team anytime soon. It’s not yet clear where each will be doing their rehab. – 6:37 PM
