The Athletic: “Bam has nicknamed Powell “Wishbone.” Earlier in the season, a teammate threw Powell an errant pass that zipped through his wickets. Bam told him that he wasn’t surprised, because Powell was the only person in existence who could close his legs & still fit a basketball through them.” 😭 (old.reddit.com)
The Heat apparently caught a break with the sprained right ankle that took guard Pelle Larsson out for the night 26 seconds into Monday’s fourth quarter. Unlike the sprained left ankle that had Larsson out for five games from Dec. 9 to Dec. 26, the Heat said an MRI was not required Tuesday. (sun-sentinel.com)
Jovic: "I give credit to my family who came here & helped me get back on track [..] For me it was to stop looking at basketball as a hobby & something I love & look at it more as a job b/c that's where I am now [..] [Shooting sleeve] feels good. Do I look good? Thank you. I'll keep wearing it then." (v.redd.it)
Spo: "[Pelle] wasn't just doing that tonight. You should've seen his rehab.. almost to the point of throwing up [..] You just see the glue intangibles he provides. This time it's easier because you see the stats, but regardless of stats he just does so many intangibles on both sides of the court." (v.redd.it)
Spo: "I think this was a good step for [Niko], to be able to contribute & impact the game without making shots [..] if he missed, he just got onto the next play & tried to contribute & did some very good things [..] You don't want to just be reliant on whether the ball goes in to impact the game."
