"It's very possible that he'll be the face of basketball. Not just NBA basketball, but world basketball," said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.

Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.

San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama is officially headed back to All-Star weekend. Wembanyama — to no surprise — was picked for his second consecutive Rising Stars event, which will be played on Feb. 14 in San Francisco on the first night of the three-night All-Star lineup.

The Golden State Warriors are exploring potential trades for Chicago Bulls' center Nikola Vucevic and guard Coby White before the February 6 deadline.

While the Spurs have had a solid season thus far, they could still look to upgrade their roster ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline to make a push for a playoff spot in the second half of the season. One area that they need to upgrade is their guard position, and they could do so by trading for Coby White of the Chicago Bulls.

Fantasy Impact: A trade to Milwaukee would be a mixed bag for LaVine’s fantasy outlook. While his usage rate would likely dip playing alongside two superstars, his efficiency could see a major boost. He’d get more open looks and less defensive attention, sustaining his fantasy value as an early-to-mid-round asset.

OG Anunoby scored a team-high 33 points, helping lead the New York Knicks to 143-120 win over the visiting Sacramento Kings on Saturday.

The story, as Buford tells it, goes like this: Claudio Crippa, an international scout for the Spurs, proposed going to see a youth game before checking out Doumbouya. Buford saw Wembanyama play for the first time that day. And the seeds for the Spurs’ new master plan were immediately planted.
