Luka Doncic, Jaylen Brown Named Players Of The Month

By | at February 3, 2026 2:22 pm

Lakers guard Luka Doncic has been named the NBA’s Player of the Month for the Western Conference, while Celtics wing Jaylen Brown has won the award in the East, the league announced today (Twitter link).

The Lakers were 9-6 in games Doncic played in January, and the All-Star guard increased his league-leading scoring average by racking up 34.0 points per game in those 15 outings. He posted a shooting line of .506/.392/.747 for the month while also contributing 9.1 assists, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per night.

Doncic had four 30-point triple-doubles in January, capped by a 37-point, 13-assist, 11-rebound outing in Washington to wrap up the month last Friday. It’s the sixth Player of the Month award of his career and his first since he became a Laker almost exactly one year ago.

Brown’s career year continued in January as he led the Celtics to a 9-5 record in the 14 games he played, averaging 29.2 PPG, 7.9 RPG, and 4.6 APG. The 29-year-old matched a career high by scoring 50 points in a win over the Clippers on January 3, then had a 27-point triple-double in a double-overtime victory in Brooklyn on Jan. 23.

While his teammate Jayson Tatum has racked up five Player of the Month awards over the course of his career, this is the first time Brown has earned the honor.

Brown beat out fellow nominees Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell of the Heat, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, Sixers center Joel Embiid, Hornets forward Brandon Miller, Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, and Pacers forward Pascal Siakam for the January award, per the NBA (Twitter link).

The other Western Conference nominees were Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija, Rockets forward Kevin Durant, Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, and Nuggets guard Jamal Murray.

Heat Notes: Rozier, Ware, Young Players, Powell, Herro

By | at February 3, 2026 11:09 am

Terry Rozier won a salary dispute against the NBA on Monday when an arbitrator ruled in favor of the Heat guard, reports David Purdum of ESPN.com. Rozier was placed on unpaid leave by the league at the end of October, six days after he was arrested on federal charges related to a gambling investigation.

The 31-year-old pleaded not guilty conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in December.

Rozier is on an expiring $26.6MM contract. His full salary will be released after the arbitrator found the NBA violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as only players who are involved in cases of domestic or child abuse can be placed on unpaid leave, sources familiar with the ruling tell Purdum.

The National Basketball Players Association, which appealed the ruling on Rozier’s behalf, released the following statement to ESPN:

“We are pleased with the arbitrator’s ruling and remain committed to ensuring Terry’s due process rights are protected and that he is afforded the presumption of innocence throughout this process.”

Here’s more on the Heat:

  • Kel’el Ware is reportedly expected to be included in the offer the Heat make for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The second-year center admits he’s heard those rumors, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. “Of course, I’ve seen it,” Ware said Saturday. “My people have told me. But at the end of the day, if they make that decision, they make that decision. If not, then I’m just going to continue to go out here and play regardless.” As Chiang writes, Ware played a season-low three minutes in Saturday’s loss to Chicago, continuing a downward trend — he has averaged just 13.2 minutes per game over his past 10 appearances, well below his mark for the season (22.6 MPG). Head coach Erik Spoelstra said the decision to limit Ware’s playing time was because the game was “so fast” and the Bulls’ advantages were due to their “speed and quickness.” “I can’t control it,” Ware said. “I mean, it is what it is. I mean, whatever he feels like that he perceives or feels like playing.”
  • As Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald observes (Twitter links), if the Heat are trying to acquire Giannis, Spoelstra isn’t exactly doing a great job of painting Ware as the blue-chip prospect Milwaukee is seeking. Spoelstra was critical of Ware a few weeks ago – though he walked back those comments the next day – and suggesting the 21-year-old center struggles against fast, small-ball lineups and limiting his playing time is “really puzzling,” Jackson writes. For what it’s worth, Ware scored 17 points in 18 minutes during Miami’s blowout Sunday victory over Chicago.
  • After Sunday’s game, Spoelstra opened his media session by making unprompted comments about Ware and his overall handling of the team’s young players, saying he wants to do a better job of finding the right balance of holding that group accountable while also aiding their development and boosting their confidence, per Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel. “Since one of you guys will probably ask about Kel’el,” Spoelstra said. “Kel’el gave us really solid minutes tonight. I was encouraged by his defensive activity. He’s part of that young-gun crew, as well. And offensively he moved the ball when he needed to, he gave us the vertical spacing when he needed to. He shot the three when he needed to. So those things I think we can build on.”
  • Veteran wing Norman Powell was named to his first All-Star team on Sunday evening, but he was away from the team for the second straight game due to personal reasons, Winderman notes. “My peers around the league after games and things like that are telling me that I’m an All-Star and that I should be there,” he said. “But I do believe that I am an All-Star. I’ve always seen myself as that, and something that I’ve always wanted to work towards.”
  • Tyler Herro, who has been limited to just 11 appearances this season due to injuries, including missing 10 straight contests with a rib issue, will not defend his three-point title at All-Star weekend, Winderman adds in another story. The 26-year-old guard, who made his first All-Star appearance last season, is focused on getting healthy, Winderman writes.

NBA Announces 2026 All-Star Reserves

By | at February 1, 2026 5:27 pm

The NBA has announced its 2026 All-Star reserves, revealing this year’s honorees on NBC ahead of the Knicks/Lakers matchup (Twitter links).

The following players will join the 10 All-Star starters the league announced on Monday, January 19.

Eastern Conference Reserves:

The East will see three first-time All-Stars in Johnson, Powell, and Duren. Powell is averaging a career-high 23.0 points per game in his first season in Miami, while Johnson has emerged as one of the league’s most versatile point forwards on offense, averaging 23.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per night while hitting 36.0% of his threes. Duren is averaging 18.0 PPG and 10.7 RPG, and is the second-leading scorer on the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons.

Towns is having a down year from an efficiency standpoint but has managed to contribute in other ways, leading the NBA in rebounds per game (11.8) while scoring 20.0 points per game on 36.4% shooting from deep. He will join teammate Jalen Brunson, who was named a starter for the second straight year, while Duren will join running mate Cade Cunningham.

Western Conference Reserves:

For the Western Conference, Murray, Holmgren, and Avdija are all first-time All-Stars. Murray had long been considered one of the league’s best players – if not the best – to never take part in the event, but will no longer hold that title. He’s having his best scoring (25.8 PPG) and play-making (7.4 APG) season as a pro, and has helped the Nuggets hold onto the No. 2 seed despite missing co-star and All-Star starter Nikola Jokic for 16 games.

Avdija has exploded for the Blazers this season, averaging 25.5 points per game (after scoring 16.9 PPG last season) while also contributing 7.2 RPG and 6.7 APG and leading Portland to what is currently a play-in spot.

Despite cooling off a bit since his scorching start, Holmgren is averaging 17.8 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 2.0 BPG and has anchored Oklahoma City’s dominant defense all season, especially while starting center Isaiah Hartenstein faced an extended absence due to a calf injury.

Booker was named to the team after leading the overachieving Suns to a 30-19 record — they’re currently percentage points behind the Lakers for the No. 6 spot in the West.

James was named to his 22nd consecutive All-Star team despite having a down year by his own standards. He is currently averaging 21.9 PPG, 5.8 RPG, and 6.6 APG for the Lakers, who are 29-18 coming into tonight’s game against the Knicks.

The Lakers, Knicks, Thunder, Pistons, and Nuggets are the teams with multiple players represented.

Some notable players not to make this year’s All-Star team include Michael Porter Jr., Kawhi Leonard, Bam Adebayo, Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, Lauri Markkanen, Brandon Ingram, and Alperen Sengun — they’re among the top candidates to become injury replacements.

As Ian Begley of SNY notes (via Twitter), the NBA’s decision to include a USA versus World component requires at least eight international players. Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Jokic, Avdija, Murray, and Siakam will make up a majority of the World roster, but with starter Giannis Antetokounmpo injured, the league will need to decide whether Towns, who suits up for the Dominican Republic in international play, as well as Powell, who played with Jamaica last summer, will be considered international or American players, Marc Stein observes (via Twitter). Either way, an injury replacement will need to be named for the Eastern Conference.

Stein adds that the NBA will announce the official roster breakdowns on Tuesday (Twitter link).

Heat Notes: Deadline, Powell, Mitchell, Smith, Spoelstra

By | at January 26, 2026 7:41 pm

The Heat are often linked to star-level players and this season has been no exception, per Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant are among the noteworthy players who have been connected to the Heat over the past several weeks.

Still, unlike last year when a Jimmy Butler trade was an inevitability, there aren’t any Heat players looking to be sent out of Miami over the next 10 days. The Heat have good locker room chemistry, Winderman writes, but they’ve also had middling results again, currently just 25-22 and on pace to be in the play-in tournament for the fourth straight season.

Winderman takes stock of the Heat’s assets and potential trade candidates, noting that staying under the luxury tax line — they’re currently $1.6MM below that threshold — will be a priority this season.

One path the Heat could take prior to the February 5 deadline would be to consider dealing Norman Powell or Andrew Wiggins to potentially land another first-round pick, Winderman notes. Miami can currently only trade away two first-rounders (in 2030 and ’32) due to the Stepien rule, but adding another first would unlock additional picks to improve the roster.

Here’s more on the Heat:

  • Powell’s recent shooting slump have coincided with lower back tightness, writes Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald. The veteran wing finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds in Sunday’s win at Phoenix, but shot just 5-of-21 from the field. “There’s more to basketball than just putting the ball in the basket,” Powell said. “There’s leading, there’s giving yourself up. I’ve done that this whole week with playing hurt with my back spasm and everything like that. But tonight I wanted to make an emphasis on getting rebounds and securing the ball so we can get out in transition, and I was able to do that and get my double-double.”
  • Starting point guard Davion Mitchell, who aggravated a left shoulder injury last Tuesday in Sacramento, missed his third straight game on Sunday, Chiang adds. “He’s definitely making progress, but we need to go through some kind of workout where he takes contact and then see how he responds to that,” head coach Erik Spoelstra said when asked for an update on Mitchell’s status ahead of Sunday’s game. “But everything else is trending in a really good way.”
  • Spoelstra praised backup guard Dru Smith for his play in the weekend victories in Utah and Phoenix, according to Winderman. “Dru was great both games,” Spoelstra said. “It was almost like a misprint. I think he had five steals (Saturday) night, but I think it was like 13 or 14 deflections. It was crazy.” As Winderman notes, Smith’s role may be tenuous when Mitchell and Tyler Herro (rib injury) are healthy again, but he says he’s focused on making the most of his minutes rather than how much he’s playing.
  • Spoelstra, the new head coach of Team USA, is more focused on the Heat at the moment than his summer job, but he said he met with USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill and team director Sean Ford in November. “Right now, there’s not a whole lot of action going on,” Spoelstra said, per Winderman. “I’ve kept in touch with both Grant Hill and Sean Ford, and we met up probably two months ago. But it was more general talks of two summers from now and scheduling, and what that’ll look like. We’ll probably get together in some fashion this summer for a little bit more extended time. I don’t know if we’ll do anything with players, but certainly we’ll meet. I love the whole process, so of course when we play and compete against teams, there’s players that will come to mind. But I’m not sweating that right now. That’s really for Grant. It’ll be a collaborative effort. But there’s plenty of time for that.”

Luka Doncic, Immanuel Quickley Named Players Of Week

By | at January 26, 2026 2:50 pm

Lakers guard Luka Doncic and Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley have been named the Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively, according to the NBA (Twitter links). The award covers Week 14 of the season, from Jan. 19-25.

Doncic led his team to a 2-1 record last week by averaging 34.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.7 assists per contest. His best game came in Denver on Tuesday when he posted a 38-point triple-double in a road victory over the Nuggets. He also beat his former team in Dallas on Sunday en route to his second Player of the Week award of the season.

Quickley, who was named Player of the Week for the first time in his career, lifted the Raptors to four straight road victories by averaging 25.3 points on 61.1% shooting while contributing 6.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game.  He matched a career high by racking up 40 points (on 11-of-13 shooting) in Tuesday’s win over Golden State.

Quickley’s name has popped up in rumors recently, with Toronto reportedly gauging his trade value.

Saddiq Bey (Pelicans), Kevin Durant (Rockets), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder), James Harden (Clippers) and Naji Marshall (Mavericks) were the other Player of the Week nominees from the Western Conference.

Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell (Heat), Jalen Duren (Pistons), Jalen Johnson (Hawks), Donovan Mitchell (Cavaliers) and Coby White (Bulls) were also nominated for Eastern Conference recognition.

Heat Notes: Powell, Ware, Spoelstra, DSJ, Adebayo

By | at January 21, 2026 10:30 am

While Norman Powell has long been a productive scorer and excellent shooter, he has taken his game to new heights in recent years. In 2025/26, he’s averaging a career-high 23.7 points per game on .485/.416/.846 shooting for the Heat, making a strong bid for his first All-Star appearance.

As Fred Katz of The Athletic writes, Powell has become a “one-on-one savant.” As a result of the Heat’s offensive system, he’s on pace to more than double his previous career high in isolation plays, and he’s thriving in those situations. According to Katz, the Heat score 127.2 points per 100 possessions out of Powell’s isolations, which leads the NBA and would be the best mark single-season mark (for a player with at least 200 isos) since 2013, when Second Spectrum began tracking the stat.

Powell is earning roughly $20.5MM in the final year of his current contract and will remain eligible for a veteran extension up until June 30. If he doesn’t sign a new deal by that time, he’ll become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Here’s more on the Heat:

  • Second-year big man Kel’el Ware sat out Tuesday’s game against Sacramento due to right hamstring tightness.It was Ware’s first missed game of the season, according to Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel (subscription required), who notes that the banged-up Heat have an open roster spot and can add a 15th man without surpassing the luxury tax threshold but have shown no urgency to do so.
  • Within a mailbag for the Sun Sentinel (subscription required), Winderman writes that Heat personnel decisions are “now a village” and aren’t made solely by team president Pat Riley. Head coach Erik Spoelstra has “considerable input” in those decisions, Winderman adds.
  • After being waived by the Wisconsin Herd, former NBA lottery pick Dennis Smith Jr. has been acquired by the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Miami’s G League affiliate, tweets NBA insider Marc Stein. Smith, who hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2023/24 season, averaged just 8.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 23.4 minutes per game across 11 appearances for the Herd. While the veteran guard is regarded as an above-average defender, he continues to struggle as a shooter, posting a .354/.250/.667 line for Milwaukee’s NBAGL team.
  • Heat star Bam Adebayo is the winner of the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award for December, having been recognized for his off-court work, per a press release.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Bam Adebayo Named Players Of Week

By | at January 19, 2026 2:45 pm

Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Heat big man Bam Adebayo have been named the Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively, the NBA announced today (Twitter links).

Oklahoma City had a 2-1 record during the week of January 12-18, with the reigning Most Valuable Player averaging 31.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game. Gilgeous-Alexander posted a shooting line of .547/.400/.912 as the Thunder outscored opponents by 43 points during his 103 minutes on the court.

Gilgeous-Alexander becomes the first NBA player to be named the Player of the Week for the third time this season — he also earned the honor twice in November.

As for Adebayo, he posted averages of 27.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per night while shooting 65.5% from long range as the Heat won two of three games. This is the third time he has earned the award and first time since January 2024.

Donovan Clingan and Shaedon Sharpe (Trail Blazers), DeMar DeRozan (Kings), Luka Dončić (Lakers), James Harden (Clippers), Jamal Murray (Nuggets), Alperen Sengun (Rockets) and Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) were also nominated for the Western Conference Player of the Week award, per the NBA.

Brandon Miller (Hornets), Norman Powell (Heat), Pascal Siakam (Pacers), Anfernee Simons (Celtics), Jaylon Tyson (Cavaliers) and Nikola Vučević (Bulls) were the other Eastern Conference nominees.

Heat Notes: Ware, Haslem, Midway Point, Grades, Powell, Wiggins

By | at January 17, 2026 11:20 am

Heat second-year big man Kel’el Ware continues to frustrate the coaching staff with his inconsistency. Ware was benched during the second half of the team’s loss to Boston on Thursday and coach Erik Spoelstra called him out afterward, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald writes.

“It was a tough matchup for him in Boston with all the coverages, and the same thing (Thursday),” Spoelstra said. “He just has to stay ready. Look, with Kel’el, I know that’s a lightning-rod topic. He needs to get back to where he was eight weeks ago, seven weeks ago, where I felt and everybody in the building felt, he was stacking days, good days. He’s stacking days in the wrong direction now. He’s just got to get back to that. Stack days, build those habits, make sure you’re ready and play the minutes that you’re playing to a point where it makes me want to play you more.”

Former Heat player Udonis Haslem said during a Prime Video appearance that Ware needs to make the coaches believe he’s deserving of more playing time.

“Put them in a position to earn their money,” Haslem said. “Put them in a position to say, ‘He is one of our top seven or right guys, he should be playing. Let me figure out ways to get him more minutes because he deserves those minutes.’ I understand your minutes are going to fluctuate based on the situation with coaches. There is nothing you can do about it. But what you can do is every time you step out on the basketball court, make sure your minutes are impactful, make sure your minutes are positive.”

Bam Adebayo made similar comments to the media.

Here’s more on the Heat:

  • With a 21-20 record at the midway point of the season, Miami hasn’t played to its potential, in Spoelstra’s view. “We feel like we’re better than where we are, but we are what our record is right now. That’s the bottom line,” the Heat coach said, per Chiang. “If you play games on paper, I think right now we would have a better record. But that’s not the case right now.” Adebayo believes the players need to be more focused and mentally tougher. “We are better than what our record says,” he said. “But until all of us commit to doing role-player things, we’ll keep being in the middle of the pack, mediocre. Until guys get sick of that middle ground of being seventh, eighth and not want to really make a push to be fourth or third in the East, we’re going to stay right here.”
  • The Sun Sentinel’s Ira Winderman hands out midseason grades and gives Norman Powell an A and Jaime Jaquez Jr. an A-. Disappointing offseason acquisition Simone Fontecchio was awarded a D-.
  • In the same story, Winderman opines that the front office might be better off trading Powell and Andrew Wiggins, noting the team is wallowing in mediocrity and could help its long-term outlook by acquiring draft capital. Powell will be an unrestricted free agent after the season while Wiggins holds a player option worth over $30.1MM for next season.

Heat Notes: Rotation, Powell, Herro, Rozier

By | at January 11, 2026 8:03 pm

Time is ticking on the Heat as they try to get an understanding of what their full-strength rotation looks like, writes Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

The Heat’s game on Saturday was one of just a handful of contests in which their entire core was healthy and on the court, which is why their loss to the league-worst Pacers isn’t setting off alarm bells. However, Miami and players know that it’s time to figure out how the team plays at full strength.

“I mean, you gotta think about it,” Norman Powell said. “Like we’ve played a certain way for a while, you know, we had Pelle (Larsson) in the starting lineup, and then we went to the big lineup, and then another guy comes back in Tyler [Herro] who’s a scorer and can really boost your offense, and now everybody has to adjust and figure it out. It’s not gonna be as soon as it happens, as soon as everybody’s healthy we’re gonna be playing and clicking on all cylinders.”

The Heat are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and are just 2.5 games out of a top-four spot despite all the lineup interruptions. Head coach Erik Spoelstra is confident that with a little injury luck, the offense should sort itself out.

“That group, when they’ve played together, there’s been an explosive offensive group,” Spoelstra said, while acknowledging the small sample that the unit has played.

We have more from the Heat:

  • Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle had high praise for Powell, despite the Heat wing only scoring six points in 22 minutes in Saturday’s matchup. “Norman Powell is such an important player for them,” Carlisle said (Twitter video link). “Powell, to me, is an All-Star this year, he’ll get a vote from me. I have no problem saying it publicly. He’s been really tremendous this year for them.” Powell is currently averaging a career-high 23.8 points per game while shooting 41.5% on 7.3 three-point attempts per game.
  • The Heat were disappointed that Herro’s return to the starting lineup was delayed when Thursday’s game against the Bulls was postponed due to moisture on the court, writes Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. “We were all looking forward to playing in Chicago,” Herro said. “I think that was one of our most, if not our healthiest we’ve been in quite some time. We all went to dinner after the game together like, ‘Damn, we were looking forward to playing.'” Against the Pacers on Saturday, Herro was able to make his first start in a month, scoring 21 points in 32 minutes with seven rebounds and four assists. Herro is active for the team’s game against the Thunder on Sunday, but the starting unit faced another setback as Powell missed the game with lower back soreness.
  • One reason the NBA hasn’t terminated Terry Rozier‘s contract, which would free up cap space, is that the league hasn’t been granted access to the evidence that will be used in the federal case against Rozier, writes Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald (via Twitter). Because the league has no evidence to overturn its previous findings, it cannot move forward with terminating Rozier’s deal as it did previously with Jontay Porter‘s contract. Jackson writes that the Heat believe that they can still use his expiring salary in a trade.
