Zach LaVine’s turbulent season hit another bump with Thursday’s news he could be out longer than expected with foot/ankle issues.
With trade deadline looming, LaVine’s future will remain subject of attention.

Given how Darvin Ham hasn’t really used last season’s playoff run lineup (D’Lo/Reaves/Vando/LeBron/AD) much, if at all, this season, I asked before the game if there are elements about that look he doesn’t think will work as well now. This was his response. AK pic.twitter.com/n28EktAmNf9:29 PM

Saw Wolves relax with the big lead, shot selection has been poor to help the Nets get back on it. Right on cue, Edwards bulls to the rim to settle things down – 9:09 PM

Darvin Ham points to Taurean Prince’s durability and 3-point shooting, as well as Jarred Vanderbilt’s health, as the primary reasons he hasn’t used the team’s starting lineup from last season — D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Vanderbilt, LeBron James and Anthony Davis — more. – 9:00 PM
