Harlan, who will do play-by-play for broadcast throughout this series, said an illness may have compounded Doncic’s issues. “I hear he’s sick today,” Harlan told KNBR’s Greg Papa and John Lund on Thursday (via NBC Sports). “I guess he was up most of the night and ill. I’ve heard it now from two different people, so I’m assuming it’s probably true.”

A source told The Dallas Morning News on Friday afternoon that Luka Doncic is “good to go” despite the comments from TNT play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Harlan after Doncic’s Game 1 struggles on Wednesday night. Doncic, like the rest of his team, endured a poor shooting performance in the Western Conference finals opener. He scored 20 points and shot 33.3% from the floor, his lowest marks this postseason.

Nobody has ever won an NBA title with Luka Doncic’s usage rate. What is the history of high-usage stars in the playoffs, and can the Mavericks star break the mold?

I’m convinced that Luka Doncic is the Undertaker meme.
Luka is 21-5 after a loss this season and a ridiculous 20-6-0 against the spread, by far the best among NBA stars.

The Timberwolves veteran — who played …
The Timberwolves veteran — who played for the Los Angeles Clippers for four seasons before heading to Minnesota — insisted to JJ Redick on ESPN that the Lakers’ 2020 title deserves an asterisk and that it’s a “Bubble Championship.” Here’s Beverley making his case. Kevin Harlan will sit in a chair courtside Wednesday night that, he feels, does not belong to him. It’s the same way he felt at the All-Star Game in February. “I may be broadcasting this game tonight,” Harlan texted Marv Albert that night. “But this will always be your seat. This will always be your chair.” Harlan is Turner Sports’ replacement for Albert as the play-by-play voice of the conference finals. He’ll be joined by Hall of Fame player Reggie Miller and ex-coach Stan Van Gundy as the Dallas Mavericks face the Golden State Warriors in the opening game of the Western Conference finals.
Even though Harlan has a strong …
Even though Harlan has a strong partnership and rapport with Miller, he’s excited by the addition of Van Gundy. Working with a coach is important in big games, Harlan said, because they add another layer of context and perspective that is “so vital.” “And (Van Gundy) does it. He is so knowledgeable and is so well-prepared, I am in awe of his preparation for these games,” Harlan said. “I find him incredibly compelling. His addition will be just absolutely perfect for a game, and games, of this stature.”

The “Inside the NBA” broadcast will also feature players being miked up, including Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell and Ja Morant. With Barkley staying with his regular studio partners, Dwyane Wade will join Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan in TNT’s main booth. Allie LaForce will be on the sideline. They will be joined by different members of the 75th anniversary all-time team throughout the game.

After blowing out the North Carolina Tar Heels in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament 85-62, the Wisconsin Badgers will now face the No. 1 seed Baylor Bears in the round of 32 on Sunday afternoon.
Related: Wisconsin a significant underdog vs Baylor according to BetMGM
Guard Brad Davison had a career-night in the Badgers’ dominant victory against the Tar Heels finishing with 29 points and six rebounds, and the team as a whole played arguably their best game of the season. In fact, the Badgers had their highest team field goal percentage against North Carolina since their victory against Michigan State on Christmas Day.
The Badgers will need to use this positive momentum against Baylor, who has lost only two games this season to Kansas and Oklahoma State. It will be an uphill battle for Wisconsin, but it should another great matchup to watch in what has been a very exciting NCAA Tournament so far.

The 10 best announcer calls of the NCAA Tournament’s first day
There weren’t any fans in the stands, but Bill Raftery and his CBS co-workers brought the energy with these calls.
Without any fans in the stands, the early games of the NCAA Tournament have lacked a certain energy. We’ve seen buzzer beaters and upsets, but without an audience to erupt in excitement, it just hasn’t been the same viewing experience.
Because of that, there’s even more pressure on CBS’s commentators to fill in the gaps and try to add some energy to the broadcasts. Luckily for college basketball fans, we had some excitable announcers calling the games on Friday.
Jim Nantz, Ian Eagle, Bill Raftery, Kevin Harlan and others provided us with plenty of energy throughout the day. To celebrate that, we’ve picked out the 10 best calls of the day…

After finishing their road trip with a 61-48 win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers will face off against the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines at the Kohl Center on Sunday afternoon. An upset of the Wolverines could set the Badgers up well for their next matchup against No. 15 Iowa on Thursday night.

The Badgers were able to regain their confidence from a dominant second half against the Cornhuskers, along with another excellent performance from true freshman Jonathan Davis off of the bench. He finished with 10 points, three rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block. His contribution off the bench will be crucial for Wisconsin to beat Michigan that has proven to be one the best teams in the country.
Although the Badgers were able to lock down in the second half against Nebraska, they will need to improve their abysmal 32.3% shooting from the field to prevent a similar result to their first matchup where Michigan dominated Wisconsin 77-54. This game is an exciting opportunity for the Badgers to flip the script in the Big Ten ahead of their final stretch of the regular season.

Kevin Harlan had a legendary call of the fan running on the field during the Super Bowl
So good.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s Super Bowl LV, and arguably the most entertaining part of the second half had little to do with the actual football action.
Late in the fourth quarter, play was stopped when a fan ran onto the field at Raymond James Stadium and started taking off his clothes while evading security.
Now, if you’re familiar with similar NFL fan-on-the-field moments in recent years, radio broadcaster Kevin Harlan has treated listeners to absolutely amazing calls of an otherwise annoying interruption (especially during a pandemic).
Well, Harlan was in the radio booth for Sunday’s Super Bowl, and his call did not disappoint. Here’s the video with Harlan’s call:

Just outstanding work.
A few years ago, Harlan told our Charles Curtis that he was done with those fan-on-the-field calls. But this was the Super Bowl. He had to make an exception.
