The Los Angeles Clippers top two acquisitions, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will apparently take the court together for the first time in the team’s Wednesday night game against the Boston Celtics. George, who was acquired in a massive and surprising trade this offseason, missed the first 11 games of the season as he recovered from shoulder surgery.

John Wall dunking in workout

November 13, 2019November 13, 2019 Brandon King

John Wall will more than likely not suit up for the Washington Wizards this season as he continues to recover from a torn Achilles’ tendon. The recovery seems to be progressing fairly well , as Wall threw down a dunk in a pregame workout in Boston. Hopefully this is a sign that Wall will be able to return close to form, but continued stretches of good health have been hard to come by for Wall over the last 2 seasons, he has played in only 73 games.

The NBA trade deadline is 32 days away and as teams become aware of who they are, and who they are not, trade talks will pick up as clubs look to make a run or build future assets. Apparently the Orlando Magic have “expressed interest” for San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan. According to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor that none of the front-office execs he spoke with would be shocked it the Spurs chose to move DeRozan. Somehow in this era, Orlando struggles to score and DeRozan could definitely…
