absolutely brutal
Brutal news: Texas Tech announces JT Toppin tore his ACL and is out for the rest of the season.

Jonathan Kuminga update…

He “is progressing in his rehabilitation. He will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.”

For those asking, Nikola Đurišić would be allowed to sign a Two-Way with the Hawks if he clears waivers.

(Note: That doesn’t mean it will happen. It’s just allowed to happen if both parties choose.)
Per source, the Hawks are waiving former 2nd round pick Nikola Đurišić.

Đurišić spent the entire season in the G League after signing a multi-year deal last summer.

Caleb Houstan will be moving from a Two-Way deal to a standard contract to fill that roster spot.

The Hawks don’t have a roster spot to do this, so another move has to accompany it.
The Atlanta Hawks are converting shooting wing Caleb Houstan to a contract for the remainder of the season, sources tell ESPN. Houstan, 23, is in his fourth NBA season and shot 40% from 3 over the last two years in Orlando and 40% in the G League this season.

Jason Kidd in November: “We just can’t wait to get (Kyrie) back at some point. Hopefully it’s in the year ’25, not ’26. But we’ll see what happens.”
Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving will miss the season to allow himself additional time to fully heal from the torn ACL he suffered last March. Irving will make his return for the 2026–27 season.

Kawhi is feeling it so much that he cracked a smile.

Dwight Howard gave the first Jaxson Hayes dunk a higher score than Keshad Johnson.

Good to see he still has no shame.
