There is a very realistic world where the best of the Bucks' and Pelicans' first-rounders next summer is an incredibly high pick. That's quite the acquisition for Atlanta.

The Wizards could have eight players under contract whose salaries add up to only ~$51M heading into the summer of 2026. Cap projects to be $170M in 2026-27. Washington will have massive sway in the market next summer, however it wants to use it.

The 2025 Pacers’ legacy isn’t that they made the NBA Finals. It’s how they got there. Story on a conditioning-obsessed team that bought into not just fast-breaking basketball but a special lifestyle, too: www.nytimes.com/athletic/644...

It's such a shame Tyrese Haliburton isn't out there. Other than his injury, this game has been tremendous.

Win or lose, one thing that is clear after 82 Pacers regular-season games and 23 Pacers playoff games: This team is completely unflappable.

Tyrese Haliburton is officially out for the game, the Pacers say. Team is calling it a right lower leg injury.

Cason Wallace has zero points, one rebound, zero assists and is playing one heck of a Game 7. He's been suffocating defensively.

Big moments coming up not just for TJ McConnell, who is of course gonna have to step in for Haliburton, but also Andrew Nembhard. Nembhard a really good pick-and-roll ball handler, consistently makes the right passes and has had ginormous moments in Game 7s before.

Tyrese Haliburton was playing his behind off while very injured and killing it in Game 7 of the Finals. Just horrendous to see that happen to that guy in this moment. Absolutely sucks.

The entire Pacers team left the bench to huddle around Haliburton, who just got up and is being helped off the court. Looks like he can barely put any pressure on the injured leg.

An element worth watching in Dallas: The Mavericks opted to not extend their assistants after they went to the Finals last year. Their top guys — which includes Sweeney, Jared Dudley and more — are up June 30. Dallas may have a bunch of holes on the bench to fill.

Assistant coach Sean Sweeney is going from the Mavericks to the Spurs, league source confirms. Sweeney had been a longtime assistant under Jason Kidd and has been under consideration for head coaching jobs. Shams Charania first with the news.

As Kirk Goldsberry noted, Tyrese Haliburton hasn't made a shot from the left side of the court in the NBA Finals. But it's not just shot-making that's dissipated from the left side during five games against OKC. More here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...
