Awesome work here by @katiavillalba & @JChinnock to put together an Oral History of Luka Magic. Some people over the yrs have thought it was a nickname but it’s a thing that he does, a state of being, a vibe, an aura, or whatever you want it to be pic.twitter.com/icxLmPp6fg – 2:57 AM

Progress, but not enough yet…
Mavs just ruled out Luka Doncic tomorrow vs. Lakers, his 4th consecutive absence with left thigh strain.
Kyrie Irving, Tim Hardaway, JaVale McGee, and Markieff Morris are all questionable. dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 7:57 PM

More on this storyline
Mark Medina: Mavs’ Maxi Kleber on Kyrie Irving: “He knows how to talk to people, where to set up people, sees the strength in players & knows what to expect them to do. He’s a very, very great teammate. He always has positive spirits & has uplifting words.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / March 18, 2023
On a per-game basis, the Kings’ 120.9 points per game are on pace to trail only the 1980s Nuggets for the highest single-season scoring average since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. The four Denver teams ahead of Sacramento played roughly 11 more possessions per game than the Kings currently do, which is why the latter’s offensive rating is also bonkers. Sacramento is scoring 119.4 points per 100 possessions this season, leading to an offensive rating higher than last year’s Brooklyn Nets, who recorded the NBA’s highest single-season offensive rating since the league first tracked the metric during the 1996-97 season. Those Nets had James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for portions of the season. -via The Athletic / March 17, 2023
