Casey Holdahl: The @Portland Trail Blazers are hosting Memphis center Jalen Duren @JalenDuren for a solo workout today at their practice facility
With the scouting combine and agency pro days behind them, the Cleveland Cavaliers have entered the next stage of the pre-draft process. Owning three picks in the 2022 NBA Draft — Nos. 14, 39 and 56 — the Cavaliers will host projected lottery pick Malaki Branham for a workout on Wednesday at Cleveland Clinic Courts, sources tell cleveland.com.
Branham, the 6-foot-5 swingman who has been rising up boards because of his character, diverse skill set, length (6-foot-10 wingspan), shooting prowess, attitude and upside, is one of about 10 players the Cavs have on their radar at No. 14, sources say. Branham — capable of playing the 2 or 3 — could go even higher, recently receiving top 10 buzz and considered a “safer” prospect.
Branham’s Ohio State teammate, E.J. Liddell, has been forced to reschedule a few different times — even though the Cavs are still hoping to bring him in for a workout. Liddell’s immediate fit isn’t ideal given the Cavs’ currently crowded frontcourt, but sources say Liddell is one of the many possibilities with the 14th pick — probably further down the priority list. Plus, power forward Kevin Love’s contract expires at the end of the season and Liddell would provide future depth.

Ivey, 20, could be the best player available if the Kings stay at No. 4.

Kawhi Leonard would welcome another point guard
Kawhi Leonard has made it clear to the Clippers front office that he would welcome a point guard addition, and it’s no surprise that two of his former teammates on his championship Raptors team, Lowry and VanVleet, are on their short list of targets.
Darren Wolfson: Bleacher Report has the Mavs, Suns and Clippers in on D’Angelo Russell. I just don’t sense any trade has been close. And frankly the way he’s been playing, he should be here on February 9.
Would Vasa be able to play in the NBA? Bogdanovic thinks there are two things Micic has to have in order to leave Europe. “He could come, there is room for him. He also needs financial motivation, [and] a role motivation to come. He is number one there [in Efes], taking this step in [this part of] your career is difficult. But he has the quality to play in the NBA, that’s for sure.”
Darren Wolfson: Yahoo reports on Denver gauging the market on Bones Hyland. Tim Connelly drafted Hyland, you can bet that Tim Connelly would have some interest there if something could be worked out to bring Hyland here to Minnesota. But again, I don’t sense the Nuggets and Wolves are far down the road on any sort of transaction.
MarJon Beauchamp: Man… @Giannis Antetokounmpo is just different.. thankful to learn from you everyday big bro🙏🏽 keep going 🐐 #50ball pic.twitter.com/hda9Ddw8iy
