Just in: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers' Luka Doncic and Pistons' Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell ESPN.
I know the “shai > luka” stretch is just chatter completely fueled by their chip whatever…but to imply you can put even 50% of shai’s playoff success on his shoulders is disrespectful to the thunder as a whole and added disrespect to luka’s (more abundant) playoff production
This is why Nico Harrison was right btw
That 35/10/10 is cool regular season fodder but when you fold the moment you come across a title level team you can’t be a part of the squad to take me to the pinnacle
I think everyone’s too hard on ace. Have you stopped to consider maybe he’s just a shy little guy? Maybe he gets nervous and blushes a little around big crowds. Have some heart.
Ace Bailey has had minimal contact with the Jazz since being drafted and has yet to arrive in Utah, per @WindhorstESPN
“The Jazz were very excited to welcome him to Utah over the weekend and that hasn’t happened yet. So he did not go there. Their other first-round pick, Walter Clayton Jr., flew to Utah on Thursday and is getting ready to go. Ace Bailey did not and there’s been minimal contact with him and the team. There’s not a crisis yet. What the Jazz are saying is, he���s not expected in Utah until the weekend and really what he needs to do is be there by Monday when their training camp for Summer League. And if he’s there, no problem, hope his Jazz career gets off to a good start. If he’s not, let’s see what actions go from there.”
