Robert Johansson+FollowNikola Jokić exits vs. Heat with left knee injuryScary moment for Denver: Nikola Jokić left Tuesday’s game vs. the Heat with a left knee injury and did not return after appearing to hyperextend it when a teammate stepped on his foot. Jokić had 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists in 19 minutes before exiting. Denver says he’ll be evaluated to determine the severity. Hoping it’s minor — the league is better when he’s on the floor. #NBA #Nuggets #Jokic #NikolaJokic #InjuryUpdate #Heat #NBAInjuries #Basketball 20Share
Christopher Brown+FollowAdam Silver calls the Rozier case “unprecedented”Adam Silver addressed the Terry Rozier situation and basically admitted the league is in uncharted territory: “This is an unprecedented situation… I’m incredibly sympathetic to the Heat… Sometimes there’s unique events that maybe require unique solutions… we’ll see if there’s any satisfactory relief, but at the moment there is none.” That’s brutal for Miami because Rozier can’t play, yet his $26.6M still sits on their books (about 17% of the cap, per reporting), and the whole thing is tied up in legal/investigative timelines the team can’t control. So what should the NBA actually do here? #Miami #Heat #TerryRozier #NBA #AdamSilver #NBANews #NBADiscussion 21Share

Robert Johansson+FollowKlay Thompson Fires Back at Heat Bench After Getting HeckledDuring the Mavs–Heat game, things got chippy. A Heat bench player — Myron Gardner — chirped at Klay Thompson, reportedly calling him a bum. Klay didn’t let it slide. He walked over and clapped back with: “You can’t sit at my table… only a few can, and they’re up there!” Was Klay out of pocket, or are some dudes really punching way above their weight here? #NBA #KlayThompson #Mavericks #Heat #NBATrashTalk #NBADrama #Miami 108Share
James Allen+FollowMark Cuban on 2006 Finals: “It Was Stolen From Us”Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban still hasn’t let go of the 2006 NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat. Reflecting on it years later, he said: “I’ll take that to my grave that it was stolen from us.” The Mavs blew a 2–0 series lead as Dwyane Wade dominated the rest of the way. Cuban has long believed the officiating tilted heavily in Miami’s favor. Nearly two decades later, the sting of that series still lingers in Dallas history. #Mavericks #Heat #NBAFinals #MarkCuban #NBAHistory #NBADebate #Sports 608Share
