What am I missing about why Zach LaVine’s 3 was taken off the board? Is it not allowed to hit the rim and go in after the buzzer or something? pic.twitter.com/rDDBOUq9kk – 8:21 PM

Watching Bradley Beal playing point guard in a pinch tonight reminds me of a story from his high school days. His AAU team thought a tournament was over. They were on the van heading to the airport. But it turned out, they miscalculated the schedule. They had one more game. – 8:19 PM

The Bulls are also “pretty hopeful” that Lonzo Ball and Alfonzo McKinnie will be able to return to team practice at the start of next week, Fleming said.
Neither player traveled this week as the Bulls took a reduced group on the road, but they are out of protocols. – 5:36 PM

With the addition of Tremont Waters, the Wizards currently have 6 replacement players, including Brad Wanamaker who is now in protocol. Guard Jordan Schakel, though, is not getting a second 10-day contract, I’m told. Might be an indication they expect others to be cleared soon. – 4:40 PM

I don’t normally “look forward” to any particular regular season game. Too much can affect whether it actually is played under the circumstances most would hope for.
That said: That first #Bucks – #Bulls game Jan. 21 can’t get here soon enough. – 4:19 PM
