While many have missed it, the final few weeks of the NBA season included a door finally opened for former Whitney Young and Loyola star Lucas Williamson.

This is a true grit-and-grind story of an easy-to-root-for local player. https://t.co/wYTIOC6Puz

Neuqua Valley’s John Poulakidas, who starred in college at Yale and went undrafted, emerged as one of the great local stories in the closing weeks of the NBA season. The elite shooter talks about his journey, the late-season impact and what’s ahead. https://t.co/FV7MFgMQu6

[All Things Mavs | Jimmy C Hoops @All_Things_Mavs]

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a 10-day contract with Lucas Williamson, agents Keith Kreiter and Sam Cipriano of Edge Sports told @hoopshype. The former Loyola Ramblers wing has spent this season with the Memphis Hustle and Windy City Bulls in the G League.

Max Christie is all smiles talking about John Poulakidas’ night with the Mavericks, coming off the bench making 3-of-5 3PM.

“We’ve known each other a long time. We’re from the same area, so it’s very exciting for me to see someone like him. He’s come along way in his ability to shoot the ball and the confidence he has in himself. It’s exciting … it’s a great start to his career so far and I’m happy to be able to witness it.”

[Joe Henricksen @joehoopsreport]

He’s in the midst of building quite a high school basketball legacy in this state. Warren’s Jaxson Davis is the 2026 City/Suburban Hoops Report Player of the Year. https://t.co/0Gx8MSLpIy

Deerfield's Jake Pollack was special on Friday. The 6-9 senior was an offensive and defensive force against undefeated Kaneland.

“He was the best player on the floor. Zero debate" - Evan Nagler.

Deerfield will play for a state title on Saturday.

[Joe Henricksen @joehoopsreport]

In a terrific 3A semifinal, Deerfield takes down unbeaten Kaneland in a 49-48 overtime thriller. Jake Pollack was outstanding. He not only produced (20 pts) but did the little things and provided a calming influence for the Warriors. Deerfield will for play a 3A title.

[NBA G League @nbagleague]
