The Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers didn’t have a problem with James Harden going to Las Vegas in the middle of the playoffs: “James called me before he went, and I was like, ‘So what?

The Washington Wizards don’t have a lead basketball operations executive after parting ways with Tommy Sheppard, so it’s difficult to project the team’s direction.
