New story: The Lakers defense has sustained its excellence, even with swapping a perennial DPOY candidate in AD for Luka. Will it be a sure bet in the playoffs too? bit.ly/3FCkigy – 10:59 AM

Pacers injury report for Wed. v Mavericks:
– Haliburton, Siakam, Walker, Furphy all questionable.
– Notable that Walker’s injury, suffered in last night’s win, is a right ankle sprain.
Mavs without Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Dante Exum & seven others… they’ve lost 8 of 9 – 8:32 PM

More on this storyline
Buha added that while there was initial fear among some inside the organization, that concern quickly faded. “I know from talking to some people around the situation there was an initial fear,” Buha also mentioned. “But really, within the first 24 hours, that got stuffed out, and it was clear that LeBron was going to stay. … There certainly was some concern from people around the organization, but it was quickly disproven.” -via BasketNews / March 21, 2025
“I don’t know how much of a worry it was at like the top level of the organization, in terms of the Jeanie-Rob level, but I know in talking to lower level people there in the immediate aftermath of the trade and the situation, there was a sense,” Jovan Buha of The Athletic said on his podcast. “There’s no way LeBron knew [about the trade]. And doing a trade of this magnitude and not giving him the heads up… He’s always been ‘the guy’ since he entered the league,” Buha went on to say. “It’s not that teams have run every decision by him, but something this big — trading AD and essentially reshaping the franchise — you’d expect him to get heads up. “Given his contract situation and Klutch [Sports] potentially losing influence with AD’s departure, some thought it could potentially lead to him asking out or at least exploring that option. Obviously, that did not happen.” -via BasketNews / March 21, 2025
