Despite the changes, the roster still features NBA talent headlined by RJ Barrett and Andrew Wiggins. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Lugentz Dort, Cory Joseph, Trey Lyles, Mychal Mulder and Dwight Powell will also represent the NBA on the roster. Trae Bell-Haynes, Anthony Bennett, Aaron Doornekamp, Melvin Ejim, Andrew Nembhard and Andrew Nicholson round out the 19 player roster.
Corey Brewer: Being around Zion Williamson helped, too. It’s hard to not be excited when you’re around someone like him. You can’t truly appreciate him unless you’re around him every day. He’s just incredible. As for the rest of the guys, B.I. is a budding All-Star, Lonzo just had his best season and Josh is getting better every single day. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kira Lewis Jr. and Jaxson Hayes are going to have long, productive futures in this league. With all of these guys, I’m so happy to be able to play a small part in their success.
Andrew Lopez: Nickeil Alexander-Walker will start tonight, SVG says. He won’t be on a minutes restriction but team will keep a watchful eye on him. But no set restriction.
Will Guillory: SVG says Steven Adams will probably sit out tonight. It’ll be the 7th time he sat out in the last 9 games. SVG also said Nickeil Alexander-Walker will probably play around 20-24 minutes like he did last night.
Christian Clark: Looks like Nickeil Alexander-Walker will make his return tomorrow. He’s probable. Meanwhile, Steven Adams questionable and Brandon Ingram doubtful.
