The neighborhood will never be the same. Love and prayers to the Starkman family, and everyone who will carry on the memory of this great man, an Evanston institution.

Steve Kerr is the kind of leader this broken country so desperately needs. Unfortunately, Herschel Walker is the kind we too often get, @nrarmour writes. https://t.co/lVvB0r7jED

Giannis expressed concern teammate Khris Middleton, who injured his left knee in the third quarter and will have an MRI on Thursday. "It's tough. I know that feeling. You're expecting the worst and hope for the best. He knows we are by his side... I'm going to pray for the best."

[cfgardner @cf_gardner]

On a tough night for the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo did not give the impression that all was lost in his late-night presser. "We've got to play free; we've got to enjoy it," he said. "To not make the ball feel heavy; to make the ball feel as light as possible."

[Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski]

Khris Middleton has attempted just four shots.
Jrue Holiday is 3-for-9.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is 5-for-11.
The bench is 1-for-6 and Bobby Portis hasn't played since the first quarter.
The #Bucks have just 53 points with 7:50 to go in the third quarter.

The #USMNT - England match will be a special one for current USMNT starters Antonee Robinson & Yunus Musah, who were both eligible for England & USA.

England also boasts an impressive young generation, so seeing it matched up against the young Americans will be fun to watch

Speaking to FS1, Weston McKennie says he should be out of a boot in a week and should be back "by the end of April." (Not clear what "back" means, but it sounds like he's healing well.) #usmnt

Congrats to Giannis for breaking Kareem's franchise scoring record, and in such dramatic fashion. Incredible game in Brooklyn.

[Marc Stein @TheSteinLine]

Even what we thought we knew — Phoenix as the top seed in the West — is uncertain now given that Paul could miss the rest of the regular season.

[Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski]

The #Bucks recognize @jecausey tonight as the organization celebrates Black History Month. James lookin' sharp on the court and always doing it big in the @journalsentinel when it comes to covering this city.

[Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski]

11 #Pistons are already ruled out for tomorrow night's game at Fiserv Forum. #Bucks still have yet to submit an injury report.

[Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski]

I would imagine the efforts of Milwaukee native DJ Carstensen (& @LarryCostelloHF), along with the renewed spotlight on the history of the #Bucks thanks to their title run, have helped former coach Larry Costello become a Basketball HOF nominee for 2022.
