Shelbourne I hate to say this because I know a lot of Laker fans are listening but you need to prepare yourself to lose Alex Caruso today. The sense I have is he's probably going elsewhere. He has 2-3 options at or above the mid-level exception.

Charania The expectation is if the Lakers are able to beat Houston and advance Luka Doni will be out for the next series against the Oklahoma City Thunder

Collin Gillespie overcomes a strong defender in Alex Caruso and drills the sweet midrange jumper

Brian Windhorst on LeBron future I have specifically spoken to people on both sides of the negotiation what do you think his value is in the 2026-27 NBA season' Warriors or you know the Cavs or Team X would take him for the Mid Level Exception or the minimum

Chris Haynes on the Mavs next potential GM I just got a text From a very credible individual whos listening One of those guys on the wishlist Brad Stevens Tim Connelly Sam Presti Would listen

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander misses the jumper the Suns manage to turn the ball over in the back court Alex Caruso misses the wide open corner 3 and Royce O'Neale hits a 3-pointer to cut the Thunder lead down to 10 with 347 minutes remaining

Bobby Portis OKC gets a lot of whistles especially Shai He'll big shoulder you and still get a foul It's the playoffs nobody feels sorry for you but I feel for Devin Booker
