As far as reporting goes, things have been quiet on the Napier front publicly for the last nine months, but a source close to the UConn legend told our own Bryan Kalbrosky that Napier nearly signed with the Milwaukee Bucks before their deal for Bogdan Bogdanovic fell apart and that the Golden State Warriors were also strongly considering picking him up before they opted to go with Brad Wanamaker instead.
Chase Hughes: Scott Brooks says the starting point guard spot is mostly up in the air, but would guess Shabazz Napier gets the nod. Napier started the final eight games before the league shut down.
Chase Hughes: Shabazz Napier says he’ll wear the word ‘equality’ on the back of his jersey in Orlando. “Everybody should be held at an equal standard no matter the race or the gender.” Said he was raised by a single mother & that gender equality & LGBTQ rights are also very important to him.
Chase Hughes: Davis Bertans is playing after being listed as questionable with a sore right foot. Shabazz Napier has replaced Ish Smith in the starting lineup.
