Isaiah Thomas said being healthy is the biggest difference from his time with LeBron James in Cleveland, that he was basically playing on one leg and struggled to produce. He thinks James can see that too from a few times they worked out together over the summer to now. – 1:37 AM

The same way the NBA has decided in the past to intervene when franchises became bad for business, it’s overdue in addressing the medical treatment of star players in New Orleans. AD, Jrue, Eric Gordon, etc., dealt with bad injury luck down there. It’s time to step in for Zion. – 8:59 PM

Andrew Wiggins: 18 second quarter points, 24 in the first half on 10-of-17 shooting. Active on the glass (six rebounds), disruptive on defense. That Minnesota game was five weeks ago. Wiggins has been consistently good to great for five weeks. – 8:46 PM
