@CTabatabaie
Kemba Walker reportedly joining Dallas Mavericks
Via @TheCelticsWire
celticswire.usatoday.com/2022/11/28/rep… – 9:23 AM

@espn_macmahon
On @Adrian Wojnarowski Pod earlier this month, Kemba Walker said he was training in Florida to prepare for a bench contributor role. Walker: “I just know that I have the ability to help someone, to help a team. I know I can still play basketball at a high level.” open.spotify.com/episode/6GSId6… – 9:09 AM

@InStreetClothes
Re: Kemba Walker: The talent isn’t a question, it’s the knee. I previously discussed the injury with @Jared Weiss in 2020. Casey Smith and his crew are one of the best medical groups in the NBA and should be up for the challenge. theathletic.com/2235643/2020/1… – 8:48 AM

@espn_macmahon
Source confirms Mavs’ plan to sign Kemba Walker to address the glaring need for another creator in Luka Doncic’s supporting cast. @Marc Stein first – 8:47 AM

@British_Buzz
I think Kemba is worth a look in Dallas. I’ve got some concern with both him and Luka on the court defensively. If anything I think it could be key for the non-Luka minutes, him and Chris Wood project to be a good PnR duo. Kemba played with Wood in Charlotte in 2017 – 8:39 AM

@BrianTRobb
New: Former Celtics guard Kemba Walker has found a new home per @Marc Stein masslive.com/celtics/2022/1… – 8:35 AM

@British_Buzz
Hornets fans will have to wait until the end of the season to see Kemba Walker play against his former team. Charlotte play Dallas in a Home/Away back to back on March 25th/26th. pic.twitter.com/35xk2xR9XJ – 8:26 AM


@JLEdwardsIII
Since Nov. 11, the Pistons have some nice wins, haven’t lost by double digits & have had one of the best scoring benches.
That’s the date Alec Burks made his debut.
My story on Burks, a man with few words & many buckets (get a year sub for $12 inside!): theathletic.com/3938836/2022/1… – 8:19 AM

@SIChrisMannix
Mavs set to sign Kemba Walker, as @Marc Stein reported. Interested to see what Walker has left. Just has not been the same since the second half of his first season in Boston. Still has some offensive firepower but will need to defend to stay on the floor. – 8:14 AM

@ShamsCharania
The Dallas Mavericks plan to sign Kemba Walker and waive Facundo Campazzo, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. – 8:07 AM

@BGeltzNBA
If the Mavericks think that Kemba Walker is the answer, they’re likely not asking the right question. – 7:41 AM

@TheSteinLine
The Mavericks are nearing a deal to sign former All-Star guard Kemba Walker, league sources tell me.

@RealDCunningham
#Cavs had an off night on Sunday from the floor, but finding a way to close out a win on a night when they didn’t have their best stuff is a step in the right direction, plus, Evan Mobley was the best player on the floor. From Detroit… thelandondemand.com/news/2022/nov/… – 10:37 PM

@RealDCunningham
Evan Mobley has now made multiple 3-pointers in five games in his career. #Cavs are 5-0 when that happens.
He’s never made more than two in a single game. – 9:55 PM

@Pistons_PR
Marvin Bagley III tied his season-high of 19 points with 10 rebounds, three steals and one block tonight against Cleveland.
He has now notched back-to-back double-doubles for the first time as a Piston, and his three steals tied his career-high. – 9:11 PM

@ThatsJared | #LetEmKnow pic.twitter.com/1Kf9M8xHcl – 9:02 PM



@JLEdwardsIII
Casey said Cleveland’s defense tightened up in the fourth. Added that his team has to learn it won’t get away with same stuff in crunch time as it did in first three quarters against a defense like that.
Added he wanted to see more cutting and ball movement, firmer screens. – 8:55 PM

@omarisankofa
Casey said he was concerned about Bey’s conditioning after missing a week, but said he was sharp before wearing down toward the end. – 8:53 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Casey said he liked Bey’s focus. Said he was a little worried about his conditioning early on.
“I thought everyone who played tonight scrapped at some point.” – 8:52 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Casey said he liked his team’s defense for 3.5 quarters. Praised Livers’ work on Garland and Mitchell. – 8:51 PM


@JLEdwardsIII
Bey on what he’s seen on the last week from this team: “Defensively, we’ve been locking in more. We’re getting stops. Our concepts our crisp. When we play well on defense, it contributes to our offense. We hit teams in the mouth first this past week. I was proud of that.” – 8:44 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Bey on free-throw shooting: “We make over half of those free throws it’s a different game. Coach said it after the game, we need to get back in the gym and hit those. We need those down the stretch.” – 8:43 PM

@omarisankofa
Bey on when he first sprained his ankle against the Lakers: “I didn’t want to see the replay of it. That initial pain, it was tough. After that I was going to do whatever it took to play.” – 8:43 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Bey on his ankle: “When it first happened, I didn’t even want to see the replay of it.” – 8:42 PM

@omarisankofa
Bey: “It’s a blessing to God to be able to play right now, but it was tough right now. I really wanted to play in Sac, but the medical staff made a tough decision for my best interest in the future.” Said it was good seeing the Pistons win in Denver and Utah. – 8:42 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Bey on his ankle: “It’s a blessing from God that I’d be able to play right now. I really wanted to play in Sac. Medical staff made the best decision for my future.” – 8:42 PM

@omarisankofa
Bey: “It’s tough, we didn’t want to lose at all. I feel like we were controlling most of the game. Had a couple key defensive lapses and couldn’t convert on the other end.” – 8:41 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Saddiq Bey: “It’s tough. We didn’t want to lose at all. I felt like we controlled the game most of the game. We had a couple of defensive lapses and couldn’t convert on them. Kudos to them, too.” – 8:41 PM

@RealDCunningham
Not a #Cavs game for the memories, but it’s a win for Cleveland. They knock off Detroit 102-94 to move to 13-7 on the season. Donovan Mitchell led all scorers with 32 points. Evan Mobley was awesome, with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Cavs in Toronto tomorrow night. – 8:30 PM

@omarisankofa
Mitchell makes a pair of free throws to give Cleveland a 99-92 lead, their biggest of the night, with 1:16 to play. Competitive game, but Pistons have fallen apart late in the fourth. Cavs are on a 20-8 run – 8:27 PM

@Donovan Mitchell | #LetEmKnow pic.twitter.com/Am1Ex5p7Vs – 8:27 PM


@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons down 7 with 1:16 left. Really just made some headscratching plays final few possessions.
But, at the end of the day, you just can’t miss 12 free throws – 8:27 PM

@RealDCunningham
#Cavs up 99-92 after a pair of Mitchell free throws. 1:16 left in regulation. Pistons ball, timeout. – 8:26 PM

@RealDCunningham
#Cavs Donovan Mitchell just had his most recent jumper changed from a 2-pointer to a 3-pointer. Cavs are now in front 97-92. – 8:24 PM

@omarisankofa
Cavs 96, Pistons 92 with 1:44 to play. Mitchell has a game-high 30 points and just hit a 3 to give Cleveland some cushion – 8:24 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
That Mitchell 3 hurt. Pistons would have trailed by just one, now down two possessions with 1:44 left. – 8:24 PM


@RealDCunningham
The rare double UIOLI here. First Detroit takes their timeout and then the #Cavs immediately take theirs. Cavs are up 94-90 with 3:32 left in regulation. – 8:19 PM


@kelseyyrusso
#Cavs Evan Mobley has a double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds following that made FT. He has also made two 3s here tonight. Cavs lead 94-90 with 3:32 left in the game. – 8:18 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons have a shot clock violation, airball, airballed free throw and an up-and-down call from the perimeter in the last few possessions. – 8:16 PM

@RealDCunningham
First time this season Evan Mobley has made multiple 3-pointers in a game. Comes at a pretty good time. He’s been awesome tonight. – 8:15 PM


@RealDCunningham
Darius Garland checking back in with 5:10 left in regulation. Have to think he’s in the rest of the way. – 8:14 PM

@kelseyyrusso
#Cavs Cedi Osman is down on the court. Trainer Steve Spiro is with Osman now. – 8:08 PM

@RealDCunningham
I don’t think there’s a team in the NBA that takes more shots to the face than the #Cavs. Cedi Osman is down right now and being tended to. – 8:08 PM

@RealDCunningham
#Cavs and Pistons locked up at 88 with 7 minutes left. I guess we’re going to learn about if this team has improved its late-game execution. – 8:07 PM

Big 3 from Killian gives Detroit the lead again, 88-86. He really might’ve turned the corner as a shooter. Has 12 points and eight assists tonight – 8:06 PM


@JLEdwardsIII
Mitchell with a 3. Cavs lead by one with 7:36 left. Cleveland hasn’t even led in this game for a full minute.
Starters are trickling back in. – 8:03 PM

@omarisankofa
Cavs just took an 86-85 lead with 7:36 to play after a Mitchell 3. Pistons have led most of the night, but could be a back-and-forth finish – 8:03 PM

#Cavs continue to trail the Pistons 78-73 at the end of the third. Cavs missed all 7 3-point attempts in the third quarter, and have made just 3 all game.
They made just 7 shots in the third quarter. Can’t seem to establish a continuous flow. – 7:55 PM

@Pistons_PR
With 11 points in the first half tonight against Cleveland, Alec Burks has scored in double-figures in six consecutive games.
He is tied with Chris Boucher (Toronto) for the longest active double-digit scoring streak off the bench in the NBA. – 7:30 PM

This is the third-straight game where the Pistons have more energy than you’d expect. Have led the Cavs almost the whole way despite being banged up and less than two days removed from a 12-day west coast trip. – 7:14 PM


@kelseyyrusso
#Cavs trail the Pistons 56-51 at the end of the 1st half. They started to find some offensive groove in that second quarter as they scored 31 points. Shot 19 of 43 from the field and 3 of 14 from 3 in 1st half.
Donovan Mitchell: 15 pts
Evan Mobley: 12 pts, 7 rebounds – 7:12 PM

@RealDCunningham
#Cavs trail at the half 56-51. In some respects, they’ve not played well enough to be in this game. The bench has been good and they’ve been at least good enough defensively.
Garland is 2-of-11 for 6 points and 6 assists. Mitchell has 15 on 14 shots and Mobley has 12 and 7. – 7:11 PM

@JLEdwardsIII

Burks with 11 off the bench.
Detroit has missed six three free throws. – 7:10 PM

Raul Neto is a +7 in 10 minutes.
I know J.B. Bickerstaff said last week that +/- is a stat used in contract talks, but Neto’s impact has felt pretty big tonight. That number feels accurate. – 7:01 PM

We’re getting a three-guard lineup that features Mitchell, Garland, and Neto.
Just as I’m sure you all envisioned tonight. – 6:54 PM

Pistons lead the #Cavs 26-20 at the end of the first quarter. Cavs continue to struggle on the offensive end, as they shot 7 of 20 (35%) from the field and 2 of 6 (33.3%) from 3, but saw some shots starting to fall.
Cavs are up to 5 turnovers already, have to protect the ball. – 6:40 PM

Slow start for Garland and Mitchell so far. They’re a combined 0-8 from the field. – 6:27 PM

@omarisankofa
Strong start for Bagley. His second steal set up a transition dunk for himself. He has 8 points and 3 rebounds – 6:26 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Bagley has had very active hands defensively in this first quarter. Just jumped a passing lane and dunked. Pistons lead the Cavs by 11. – 6:26 PM

That’s just the third made 3-pointer by Evan Mobley all season. – 6:26 PM

Zubac with first game with 31+ points and 29+ boards in @nba since Dwight in 2018. Kevin Love did it in 2010. That’s it since LAC moved to Los Angeles. Moses Malone did it in 1982 last before Love. – 6:19 PM

Strong start for the Pistons despite getting back from a 12-day West Coast trip yesterday. Leading the Cavs 12-2 at the 7:39 mark – 6:19 PM

Bagley’s putback gives the #Pistons a 12-2 lead over the #Cavs with 7:39 left in the first quarter. – 6:19 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons are up 12-2 early over Cleveland. I’m a bit shocked at this start, but that’s why you play the game.
Bagley with 6 points
Bey and Livers with 3p each – 6:19 PM

@kelseyyrusso
Rough offensive start here in Detroit for the #Cavs. They have shot 1 of 10 from the field, and have just two points in the first four minutes of the first quarter. – 6:18 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Did Cleveland just get back from a two-week trip out West? Yuck start. – 6:18 PM

@MikeACurtis2
That was a tough move by Bey, who gets an old-fashioned 3-point play to give the Pistons a 10-2 lead over the Cavs with 8:12 left in the first quarter. – 6:18 PM

@omarisankofa
That was a nice move by Bey to glide past Mobley and finish through contact at the rim. Made the free throw. Pistons are leading the Cavs 10-2 – 6:17 PM

@RealDCunningham
Not a great start for the #Cavs. A lid on the rim on their end of the floor, just 1-of-9 to start here. They’re down 10-2 to the Pistons. – 6:17 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Saddiq Bey with a sick take on Mobley and got a TOUGH and-1 over Lopez. – 6:17 PM

@johnschuhmann
Ivica Zubac fouls out just 1 rebound shy (he had 31 & 29) of what would have been just the 3rd 30/30 game in the last 40 years…
Kevin Love – 31 & 31 – Nov. 12, 2010
Dwight Howard – 32 & 30 – Mar. 21, 2018
Before that…
Moses Malone – 38 & 32 – Feb. 11, 1982 – 6:16 PM



@JLEdwardsIII
This might be a schedule loss for the Pistons. They returned home from a two-week trip out West yesterday, some of the team is sick.
Game still has to be played, but I hope y’all didn’t gamble. – 6:01 PM

Casey said he’s been keeping Cade engaged by asking him what he’s seeing in game. – 4:25 PM

@VinceGoodwill
Pistons coach Dwane Casey on Cade Cunningham’s injury: “Whatever he decides I’m 100 percent behind him” – 4:25 PM

@omarisankofa
Casey on keeping Cade engaged during his injury: “Cade was on the bench talking, observing. I was asking him what he saw, he was giving his three cents’-worth.” No update on his injury, but Casey said he’s “100% behind” whatever Cade decides as far as undergoing surgery. – 4:25 PM

@omarisankofa
Casey said the Pistons’ ball movement during their wins over Denver and Utah last week was probably the best he’d seen since becoming coach here. Credited ball movement and simply making shots for the wins. – 4:23 PM

@omarisankofa
Casey said Bey has been “putting in work” to get his ankle ready for today’s game – 4:22 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Asked Dwane Casey, who is part of the competition committee, about Detroit playing out West for two weeks and then playing an early home game less than 24 hours after landing: Said it’s something that needs to be addressed for player safety. Said he’d like two see a 2-day buffer. – 4:21 PM

@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons’ Saddiq Bey is available tonight. Ivey and Bogey join Cade and Stew as out. – 4:19 PM

@MikeACurtis2
Saddiq Bey and Cory Joseph are available for tonight’s game against the #Cavs.
Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey and Isaiah Stewart are out. Cade Cunningham is also still out. – 4:17 PM

@omarisankofa
Saddiq Bey will return today after missing four games with a right ankle sprain. Cory Joseph (non-COVID illness) will also return today.
Bojan Bodganovic (right knee and ankle soreness), Jaden Ivey (right knee soreness) and Isaiah Stewart (right great toe sprain) are all out. – 4:11 PM

@RealDCunningham
Pistons have ruled out Isaiah Stewart, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Jaden Ivey. Saddiq Bey and Cory Joseph are available tonight against the #Cavs. – 3:42 PM


@TheSteinLine
The Raptors have upgraded Pascal Siakam (right adductor strain) to questionable for the Cleveland game. Siakam has been sidelined since sustaining the injury in Dallas on Nov. 4.
More NBA from me: marcstein.Substack.com – 12:57 PM

@joe_mussatto
The Thunder ranked 7th in defense in six October games. OKC has ranked 26th in defense in 14 games since then, ahead of the Magic, Pistons, Jazz and Spurs.
Meanwhile, OKC was 26th in offense in October, and it has the 12th offense in November.
Didn’t see that flip coming. – 12:49 PM

@JLew1050
Pascal Siakam isn’t sure when he’ll be back but said he’s progressing every day, will see how he feels and leave it up to the medical staff. Sounds like there’s a chance he plays vs Cleveland tomorrow. If not, Wednesday in New Orleans is a possibility. – 12:21 PM

@DetroitPistons
We backkkkkk 😎
