Obi Toppin to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest
Shams Charania: New York Knicks rookie Obi Toppin is expected to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk contest on All-Star Sunday night in Atlanta, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
Jay King: Tristan Thompson: “Injuries have been a big factor for our team.” He’s emphasizing how much the Celtics miss Marcus Smart. “But still, that’s not an excuse.”
“I plan on making sure that you guys, future kids, come in, have access to all the resources you need to be successful,” Westbrook said in a video posted to his Twitter account. The academy is being co-launched by Westbrook’s Why Not? Foundation and the education nonprofit group LA Promise Fund.
The fire happened shortly after midnight February 10. Battalion Chief Douglas Hatcher said then that firefighters could salvage most of the building, after the fire had started in the back. He added that no injuries were reported from the blaze. O’Neal told WXIA-TV shortly after the incident that he hoped “we will bounce back better than ever.”

Nets, Jazz and Nuggets interested in PJ Tucker?
Following Harden’s trade to the Nets, The Athletic reported on several teams inquiring about Tucker’s availability.

Tucker is still a player who can help a winning team, likely more valuable to organizations with deep playoff runs in mind than a team like Houston that is transitioning.
