Quick takeaways

  • The Raptors-Pacers trade sending Pascal Siakam to the Pacers for three first-round picks and Bruce Brown sparks debate over Siakam's fit, the Pacers' position in the East, and whether the Raptors got a satisfactory return.
  • The young Oklahoma City Thunder's unselfish and team-oriented style of play, highlighted by Lou Dort, Isaiah Joe, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, indicates promising development and future success.

Deep dives

Zubac's injury leaves a void in Clippers' lineup

With center Ivica Zubac out for at least four weeks with a calf strain, the Clippers will have to adjust their lineup and find a temporary replacement. Mason Plumlee will likely step into the role, but his absence will be felt, especially in terms of rebounding and interior defense.
