Harrison Wind: Nikola Jokic says his goal after he’s done playing is to not have a phone, be around family, to race horses and actually be the driver/jockey: “That’s my secret goal, to be a driver. To have fun, travel the world, all of Europe, and race horses. That sounds fun.”

On last Thursday’s episode of FanDuel TV’s Run It Back, Shams Charania of The Athletic dropped some Sixers-related trade slop. He mentioned Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine and Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby as players “that Philadelphia has monitored,” which should come as little surprise to anyone who’s been following the news cycle in recent months.
