    Bradley Beal (left ankle sprain) is questionable to play against the Nets on Wednesday.
    Beal made his return to the lineup on Monday, but there is a chance that he misses their game against Brooklyn. Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale would likely take on extra minutes if Beal isn’t able to suit up.

    According to Marc Stein, the Lakers are expected to maintain a “measured” approach to Luka Doncic’s playing time after the All-Star break.
    Doncic played his first two games as a Laker before the break, logging 24 and 23 minutes in two matchups with Utah. He missed 19 games with a strained right calf, so the conservative approach to Doncic’s playing time was expected. According to Stein, the Lakers will likely maintain that strategy as Doncic continues to work off the rust and get acclimated to his new situation. The Lakers play three games for the remainder of Week 16, beginning with a Wednesday/Thursday back-to-back. Luka is expected to miss one of those games (vs. Charlotte, at Portland), giving Dorian Finney-Smith added streaming value in deep leagues.
  • HOU Center #28
    Alperen Sengun, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama are among multiple international players who support the idea of holding a Team World vs. Team USA game during All-Star weekend.
    The 2025 NBA All-Star game was received rather disappointingly from fans, pundits and players alike, leading to the obvious question - what’s next? One idea that’s received traction among international players is a game pitting All Stars from the USA against All Stars from the international community. Sengun - who played in his first All-Star game - said, “Of course, I think it would be nice. You know, that’s not my decision, but yeah, they try different stuff every year, and I’m excited to see what’s gonna happen next year.” Antetokounmpo and Wembanyama supported the idea, too. It’s unclear if the NBA will stick with its new, four-team, single-elimination tournament, but after some harsh criticism, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another change to the format in 2026.
  • DAL Point Guard #11
    Kyrie Irving has expressed interest in playing for the Australian team in the 2028 Olympics, according to a report from Andrew Jackson of Fox Sports.
    Irving told reporters that “we’re in the process of that right now, just trying to figure out the best route for me to be eligible. There’s a lot of paperwork involved. Obviously, USA still has a decision to make, but for me, I’m just trying to do what’s best.” Irving represented the USA in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where he helped his team win gold. If it happens, the switch would be a huge boost to an already competitive Australian national team.
  • BOS Small Forward #0
    Jayson Tatum finished with 21 points (9-of-11 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in the All-Star Game on Sunday.
    15 of Tatum’s 21 points came in Team Shaq’s 41-25 win over Team Chuck in the championship of the 2025 All-Star Game. Tatum’s 15 were the most in any individual matchup of the All-Star Game, and his 21 points across the two games were the most by any player as he edged out Stephen Curry’s 20 for the lead. Curry’s theatrics and the game being played in the Warriors’ arena may have factored into Curry winning All-Star MVP over Tatum, but the Celtics star was still fantastic.
  • GSW Point Guard #30
    Stephen Curry has been named the 2025 All-Star Game MVP.
    The All-Star Game was played in San Francisco, so it’s only right that Steph was named MVP. He finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and six three-pointers across their two games, with 12 of those points coming in the championship. Curry put on a show, which was highlighted by a three-point shot from nearly halfcourt to put Team Shaq up 26-15 over Team Kenny. This was Curry’s second time winning All-Star MVP, with the first coming in 2022.
  • SAS Power Forward #1
    Victor Wembanyama contributed 17 points (8-of-11 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks in the All-Star Game on Sunday.
    This is a cumulative line over two games. The No. 1 overall pick in 2023 played in his first All-Star Game on Sunday, but he wasn’t able to help Team Chuck walk away victorious. Wemby scored 11 of his 17 points in the championship game against Team Shaq, which was nearly half of his team’s 25 points. Wembanyama didn’t have much help from his teammates in the championship, but he still played well in his first of many All-Star appearances.
  • OKC Point Guard #2
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 16 points (6-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in the All-Star Game on Sunday.
    He had 12 against Team Kenny and added four against Team Shaq in the finale. SGA took over in the semifinal round of the All-Star Game, scoring 12 points without missing a shot while leading Team Chuck to a 41-32 win over Team Kenny. He hit a three-pointer to get them to 39 points and followed that up with a dunk to get them to the target score of 40 points. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to replicate that success against Team Shaq, which is why they lost the championship 41-25.
  • MIN Shooting Guard #5
    Anthony Edwards (groin) didn’t play in the All-Star Game.
    Edwards said that if he had a longer warm-up he may have tried to play, but he didn’t have enough time to test out his groin, so he didn’t risk it. Edwards was dealing with soreness in his right hip prior to the All-Star break, but he was able to play in Minnesota’s last three games. The Timberwolves don’t play their next game until Friday in Houston. Edwards should have time to rest up, but managers should keep an eye on the injury report as that game approaches.
  • LAL Small Forward #23
    LeBron James (foot/ankle) will not play in the All-Star Game.
    James has been on every injury report as he continues to manage these lower-body injuries. The Lakers play Charlotte on Wednesday, so he’ll take the extra time to make sure he’s healthy for that game. Expect him to be on the injury report for their game against the Hornets, but managing these injuries has become the normal for James and he has played in all but one Lakers game since the calendar ticked over to 2025.
  • MIL Power Forward #34
    Giannis Antetokounmpo responded, “If you do it. I’ll do it with you” to Ja Morant’s post on X that “mac might make me decide to dunk.”
    The 2016 Slam Dunk Contest was a true masterpiece, as Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon traded phenomenal jams all night. Since that magical performance, the contest has gone downhill, and lack of superstar participation is a big reason. McClung’s recent three-peat has brought a new level of excitement to the dying contest and, if Giannis and Ja’s posts on X are any indication, McClung has revived it. Morant replied to his own post later with “zach and ag wassup” seemingly challenging LaVine and Gordon to enter on what would be the 10th anniversary of their famous showdown. A dunk contest with those four participants would surely bring some attention to All-Star’s Saturday night festivities.
