    A Clippers security official stood next to Kawhi with the game ball from tonight in his hands. When asked what he would do with the ball to commemorate his first career triple double -- Kawhi responded: "Just take it home. I don't know, I might shoot with it."

    Nick Nurse on Kawhi “You can’t blame a guy for wanting to go home. That’s what he texted me today ‘I’m going home.’ And I just said ‘You’ve changed a lot of lives by what you’ve accomplished in Toronto, mine especially.’ And thank him for what he did ...”

    Many around the league and within the Nets organization were hoping that Kyrie would say at least these two things today: 1. “I’m sorry.” 2. “I don’t have anti-Semitic beliefs.” That did not happen.

    The Bucs drafted Bucky Irving with the 125th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — the fourth round. Three picks before that the Bears took a punter.

    The way the Warriors have publicly welcomed back Klay should be studied by all other professional teams when a former star returns. Classy. Emotional. Fitting for a player who helped make the organization what it is today.

    KD admits the Nets were a little more locked in because they wanted to play well for Simmons because he couldn’t be out there himself. “We look at Ben as our brother ... it’s hard for you to chant at Ben Simmons when you’re losing that much.”

    KD said his pick for MVP would be Joel Embiid. As for the narrative aspect of the MVP race — as it pertains to votes, Durant knows it’s out of Embiid’s control. “In Joel’s case, more people like Giannis and Jokic. It’s as simple as that.”

    Steve Nash says Ben Simmons has been cleared for contact. He got some 4-on-4 work in yesterday. Nash said he came through it well.
