Mark Daigneault on Kenrich Williams getting his TCU jersey retired: “Great competitor, great teammate, great person — plain and simple… The authenticity to do those things I think is what connects with people… I’ve never seen him not compete. I’ve never seen him not be inside… – 7:04 PM

Speaking to people around the league it seems Charlotte is holding a high asking price on its players ahead of the trade deadline. There appears to be skepticism if that will remain the case as the deadline gets closer. – 2:10 PM

Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
The Thunder looks to carry over the physicality from the last game into its matchup against a young and hungry Hornets squad.
