- Long COVID strikes again. An amateur player's caddy at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am had to force play to be stopped for an hour yesterday -- heart attack. I am not, in any way, going to dispute the last three years have greatly increased the incidence of the more casual heart attack, even in people in otherwise good health! I just think it's long COVID.
- Dillon Brooks of the Grizzlies was suspended one game for a fight with Donovan Mitchell of the Cavaliers Thursday...
- ... and the league will have a busy Saturday, as a scrap between the Timberwolves and Magic Friday night saw five players ejected!
- And here are those suspensions: Mo Bamba (ORL) gets four games, Austin Rivers (MIN) three, Jalen Suggs (ORL) one.
- And Bamba should've gotten a LOT more than that -- he tried to go after Rivers in the locker room area afterward and shoved a security guard. If I'm the NBA, that bidding starts at TEN.
- And then the social media altercation afterward. Ten is a month... Five weeks? Maybe six?
- Lakers tickets are through the roof -- and there's a very good reason why (and it's not yesterday's "He's A Laker" trend for Kyrie Irving!)...
- LeBron James is now just over 60 points away from breaking one of sports' most sacred records -- the all-time scoring record of the NBA, which is held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
- The Lakers are on the fifth game of an extended road trip in New Orleans this afternoon.
- Their next two games are at home: Tuesday against Oklahoma City, Thursday against Milwaukee. LeBron is expected to break the record in one of those two contests.
- After today's loss in New Orleans, James is 36 away.
- Mount Washington in New Hampshire set a record last night -- coldest wind chill in history at MINUS ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT. Comparable to the temperature on the planet of Mars!
