Updated Severe Weather Risk Map: Here are our latest thoughts this morning regarding severe weather potential tomorrow. The PINK area is currently at highest risk for intense, long-tracked tornadoes. Some slight adjustments in precise placement remain possible. Regardless, tomorrow afternoon and evening continues to look like a hazardous day across the area.

Domantis Sabonis to the Hornets Really love the thought of Sabonis in Charlotte, just think about how many open looks he can get for Kon and Lamelo beyond the arc. Match made in heaven imo

Pascal’s contract expires when Wemby’s extension kicks in. Lauri’s timeline fits with Castle’s next deal too. The cap works. Spurs get better now and stay flexible later. Who says no? If pacers stink it up pascals out

"I'm not sure the chips fall that way in particular next year." Jay Williams joined Get Up to discuss if the Knicks are built to repeat 🏆

Trae Young is a backup option for the Miami Heat if they miss out on Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @JakeLFischer

IMAGINE THIS: A top 3 team in NBA History gets even better by adding a top 3 scorer in NBA history. Brunson x KD, who would be able to stop that duo?

The Spurs remain committed to De’Aaron Fox as their franchise point guard, per @WindhorstESPN (h/t @RealGM )

Pacers fans look at a fluke of a run in 2025 and think it has anything to do with 2027 when their ‘star’ who couldn’t get it done in the only chance he’ll ever have can’t even walk 😂😂😂 Literally can’t make this stuff up lol

This guy should have just lit his money on fire instead. No chance he wins tn

The Thunder have received calls from rival teams with trade interest in Chet Holmgren, per @ZachLowe_NBA OKC has told teams Holmgren is NOT available (hoopshype.com/story/sports/n…)
