More on this storyline

Brandon Rahbar: Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis are available vs OKC tonight. Damian Lillard is OUT. Giannis remains out. -via Twitter @BrandonRahbar / April 12, 2024
When presented with this idea in a question’s preamble as he walked out of shootaround in Los Angeles on UCLA’s campus on his way to the team bus a little more than a month ago though, Portis cut off the question. “How am I not Sixth Man (of the Year)?” Portis asked. -via The Athletic / April 12, 2024
This year, the favorite for the award appears to be Malik Monk, who put up a 26.9 percent usage rate in 72 games for the Sacramento Kings and averaged 15.7 points and 5.5 assists before he sprained the MCL in his right knee. “I’ve been averaging 18 (points) a game since the All-Star Break though,” Portis interjected as these points were explained. (He is now at 16.7 points per game since the break.) “So, how am I not Sixth Man?” -via The Athletic / April 12, 2024
Rod Boone: Final #Hornets injury report of the season: Davis Bertans (left Achilles), Miles Bridges (right wrist), Brandon Miller (right wrist), Nick Richards (right plantar fascia) and Grant Williams (right ankle) are questionable for tomorrow’s game in Cleveland. -via Twitter @rodboone / April 13, 2024
