Mark Daigneault says Lindy Waters III and Vit Krejci will get rotation minutes at some point this season.
Great news for Thunder fans who would like to see what Lindy and Vit look like with OKC and Thunder fans would like to see what Jabari or Chet look like with OKC. – 6:20 PM

Tyreke Evans was reinstated by the NBA after a drug ban. He’s a free agent. FWIW, Knicks executive William Wesley was close with Evans’ family and steered him to Memphis to play under John Calipari. Part of that Philly area group. – 6:09 PM

Aaron Wiggins “it was tough sitting on the sidelines not being able to play, but just rehabbing and doing what it takes to get back on the floor.” Says he thought it would be a worse injury but he is glad to be back and rocking and rolling. – 5:57 PM

The Heat are adding Haywood Highsmith in a return engagement on a 10-day contract to get back to 14 players on standard contracts, one below the roster limit. Haywood previously was with the team on emergency 10-day deals. Heat fell to 13 with trade of KZ Okpala. – 5:54 PM

NEW: If all goes well, the Heat wins the title in June and opts to keep this roster together. But if that doesn’t happen, exploring how last week’s OKC trade could help the Heat land an All Star or rotation piece if Miami chooses that path this summer: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 4:36 PM

Josh Giddey is easily the #1 open shot creator among rookies.
But even more fascinating is that he’s tied for #10 in the entire league. Despite his usage being lower than the others.
A top 10 playmaker in the NBA as the second youngest player in the NBA.

Aaron Wiggins got a chunk of the Thunder’s large amount of remaining cap space in four-year deal:
2021-22: $1,000,000
2022-23: $1,563,518
2023-24: $1,836,096
2024-25: $1,988,598
Final two seasons are both fully non-guaranteed. OKC also has a team option for 2024-25.

The Thunder recorded their fourth game this season with 10+ blocks against the Bulls. It was the first time since 2016 that OKC had three players record 3+ blocks in a single game. That has happened 10 times in OKC history. – 1:40 PM
