The Kings covet Kyle Kuzma, and have for quite some time, per @davidaldridgedc (theathletic.com/5240031/2024/0…).
Sacramento also chased after Kuzma in free agency before re-signing with the Wizards. pic.twitter.com/j9GdVabBeM4:35 PM

The Heat says defense is the biggest reason behind its recent struggles. So what’s going on at that end? miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia…3:56 PM

With Heat reeling, ESPN dumped Heat at Pelicans on Feb. 23 (the Friday after the All Star break) and replaced it with Milwaukee-Minnesota… ESPN will keep Clippers at Heat at 6 pm Sunday, this weekend, with Dave Pasch, JJ Redick on the call – 3:54 PM
The Ringer @ringernba
With the Miami Heat on a seven-game losing streak, they’re currently -134 on @FDSportsbook to beat the Kings tonight!
But can Jimmy Butler put the team on his back and help Miami secure a much-needed win?
He’s +170 to score 25-plus points. pic.twitter.com/Y1yuDJVMg33:46 PM

I don’t care that Miami has lost 7 in a row. They will be ready.
Reports out of Miami said they had a “brutally blunt” film session.
A quick start is imperative for the Kings. pic.twitter.com/Puj96LTT6F1:47 PM
