Adam Aaronson: The Sixers have an injury report for tomorrow’s game vs. New Orleans: Quentin Grimes – right ankle sprain – PROBABLE. Joel Embiid and Paul George are both not listed.
The Pelicans, sources say, would specifically like to move Missi if the deal brings back a first-round pick for New Orleans in the upcoming June draft in hopes of selecting another top prospect alongside rookies Queen and Jeremiah Fears. Sources say that the Pelicans have already turned down at least one offer of multiple second-rounders for Missi. We'll be intently tracking whether New Orleans is ultimately offered a first-rounder for Missi in the next eight days. If not now, New Orleans would have the option of waiting until draft night in June, when more teams figure to be willing to part with a selection in the late teens or early twenties when they're on the clock and have a better sense of their options

One source close to the process on New Orleans: "[They] didn't speak once to Memphis about trading for Ja Morant."
Videos also shows Pretti holding a phone during the altercation, but he is never seen brandishing the 9mm semiautomatic handgun police said he was licensed to carry. "We have a stand your ground law here, right?" Fox said after the Spurs loss to New Orleans on Sunday. "I don't know, how many of you all own guns? I own guns. We all know 'KJ' (Spurs forward Keldon Johnson) owns guns. But imagine someone breaks into your house and you shoot 'em in the back, right? Probably neutralized. Then you're like, ah, (expletive), let's empty the entire clip. ... You would at least be charged and have to go through that process. So that's a bit crazy, right? I'd be charged if I shot someone in the back, they fall. And then even if it's in my house, even if I'm protecting my property and then I decide I want to empty the entire clip. That's where you get to excessive force and all these other things."

Justin Martinez: Final: Raptors 103, Thunder 101 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 24 points and 6 assists Lu Dort: 19 points and 8 rebounds Kenrich Williams: 15 points and 5 rebounds OKC (37-10) will finish its three-game homestand when it hosts New Orleans on Tuesday.
Spurs forward Devin Vassell is set to return to action Sunday at home against New Orleans after missing 13 games in a row with a left adductor strain. Vassell, who fully participated in Saturday morning's practice, said he expects to be on a minutes restriction against the Pelicans.
Tom Orsborn: Spurs have upgraded Luke Kornet to questionable for Sunday’s game vs. New Orleans after he missed Thursday’s win at Utah.
Grizzlies PR: Status Update: Jock Landale (Personal Reasons) is questionable tonight against New Orleans.
As for DeMar DeRozan, while he has been cited as a possible replacement In the wake of the Warriors losing Jimmy Butler for the season with a torn ACL on Monday night, a Kings source indicated the Warriors have shown no interest in the 36-year-old guard. As has been widely reported, Golden State’s strong interest in New Orleans’ Trey Murphy III most certainly remains. It’s just a matter of whether New Orleans will change its current stance and do a deal on that front. (The same applies to the Pelicans’ Herb Jones.)

An incomplete deal framework that could still make it to the finish line: There have been whispers about various trade constructions that would feature Missi landing with Indiana and swingman Bennedict Mathurin heading to New Orleans.
I have also heard from multiple sources that second-year centre Yves Missi is available from New Orleans as the Pelicans look to focus their rebuild around rookie big Derik Queen, although the Raptors' interest in the 21-year-old taken 21st in the 2024 draft is unclear.
