The Celtics broadcast just showed Delonte West in the crowd. He looks good and looks healthy. That's great to see!
More teams should have been in on Anfernee Simons this summer. He's such a good player.

OKC will be eligible for a hardship exception with Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace & Jalen Williams out long-term. Challenge is that a hardship exception is a roster exception, not a cap exception. After signing Ochai Agbaji, OKC will be only about $4.6M under the second apron. 1/2
Cam Johnson (ankle) available to play Friday.
This is the best Mitchell Robinson has looked on both ends for the Celtics. He's been really active.

If Anthony Black keeps this up, he's going to be a very rich young man this summer. He's been awesome tonight for Orlando. The Magic need him to be good with guys out and Black has stepped up.

ORPIT strikes again!
Nic Claxton is going to have a lot of work to do on defense when he gets back. The Bulls are really, really bad on that end of the floor.
Ott: Oso Ighodaro (oblique) on track to play Friday.
This Plexaderm commercial has got to go. The silly song is going to get stuck in my head every week.
Josh Giddey just threw one of the worst passes I've ever seen. Payton Pritchard picked it off with ease and if he didn't get it, Hugo Gonzalez would have.
Desmond Bane and RJ Barrett getting into it. The NBA Cup just means more. https://t.co/XBwncbM9wO
