Kyrie Irving said Ben Simmons showed flashes of his potential last night. But Jacque Vaughn still benched him in favor of more scoring in Q4.
Simmons: “If we’re winning I have no problem with it; but if we’re losing then I’ve got an issue with it.”

Anthony Davis said he raised his eyebrow at Darvin Ham at a point when he noticed that some of the post-ups the Lakers usually call for him … they called for Rui Hachimura.
But he laughed, saying the Lakers know he’s a good midrange shooter and can get buckets out of it. – 1:53 AM

From last night — the Lakers are excited to roll out Rui Hachimura, who is just as thrilled to be in LA. Rob Pelinka also talked about how the front office is approaching looking for a next potential move: ocregister.com/2023/01/24/lak… – 11:45 AM

More on this storyline
RingerNBA: “I look for individual play. I could give a s*** about a team.” @AustinRivers25 tells @paush who’s on his must-watch League Pass radar. ‘Kyrie Irving has the sexiest game on the basketball court’ … ‘I like watching him more than… him and Damian Lillard. I like Luka Doncic, it’s just a lot. It’s a lot. It’s a lot of Luka. He has the ball in like every possession. It’s kind of like James (Harden) those last couple of years in Houston, where I was with Houston.’ -via Twitter @ringernba / January 27, 2023
“I’m just grateful for the people at home. I would not be here without y’all. Y’all voted me in, and I’m ready to give a show.” Kyrie Irving showing love to the fans after being named an All-Star starter ?? -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / January 27, 2023
“Kobe as the man was very inspirational,” Irving told Bally Sports after the Brooklyn Nets’ 137-133 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. “Very loving, compassionate. Always had an open heart for those that wanted to follow his knowledge, wisdom. “He always wanted to pass on what he learned. I was just more than grateful that I could have him as a mentor for as many years that I did.” -via Bally Sports / January 27, 2023
