Anthony Slater: Eric Paschall on James Wiseman: “He’s very open to listening. That’s one thing I’ve noticed about him. Not afraid to ask questions. That’s one thing I like about him.”
Jaylen Brown is one of the most politically outspoken athletes in the NBA, and now he’s turning his attention to his alma mater. The Boston Celtics wing tweeted a public endorsement of the campaign to change the name of Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia, where he won a state championship before continuing his career at Cal.
The Wheeler name comes from Joseph Wheeler, a Confederate general who hailed from Georgia and led cavalry for the South in the Civil War, but later went on to serve in the U.S. Army and Congress.

Michael Scotto: The question I think a lot of people are monitoring around the league is where are those extension talks with John Collins and the Hawks? John is a guy that I know other teams around the league have monitored closely because they are enamored with his talent. If a guy like that became available, he would command a lot in trade talks.
Chris Kirschner: I do know that both sides would like to get something done. That’s been expressed both publicly and privately. I remember talking with John at the start of last season in training camp, and he was telling me that he loves Atlanta and wants to be here. He wants to be a building block alongside Trae Young.

That plan was approved, according to a league source, based mostly on the team’s daily coronavirus testing protocol for players and other employees.
