When Jalen Suggs tossed his mouthpiece off the court after he was bumped by LaMelo Ball roughly halfway through the first quarter of Thursday’s game at Charlotte, the Magic guard was quickly assessed a technical fine from official Scott Foster. What Suggs didn’t know at the time was that his wallet would take a hit, too. Suggs was fined $25,000 for “throwing his mouthpiece in the direction of the spectator stands,” the NBA announced Saturday afternoon.
The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has signed guard Kennedy Chandler to a 10-day contract. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released. Chandler (6-0, 170, Tennessee) has appeared in 42 games (41 starts) for the Delaware Blue Coats of the NBA G League during the 2025-26 season, averaging 17.0 points, 9.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.9 steals in 34.7 minutes per game.
With reports the NBA may be exploring expansion for the 2028-29 season, everyone has a take on the top cities as rumors were rampant. Some basketball pundits have suggested Nashville as a franchise location. However, Nashville Predators majority owner Bill Haslam has no immediate plans to make that happen. "We're not actively bidding on anything," Predators CEO Sean Henry, speaking on behalf of Haslam, told The Tennesseean on March 19. "Those are just rumors."

Henry said there hasn't been talks between Haslam and the Grizzlies. "As far as any conversations with Memphis or the Grizzlies, that's not happened," Henry said. "I think Memphis is the right place for the Grizzlies to play and I hope they stay there forever."
Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson is expected to return Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers after missing more than six weeks due to a hamstring strain, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Saturday. Watson's return would mark the first time the Nuggets have had their full roster available since early in the season. Several players, including three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson and Christian Braun, have all missed extended time this year.

Lou Williams when Sixers traded Allen Iverson: So, I had 40 on Monday. I had 40 on Wednesday. I had 40 on Friday. Got on a bus. 9 hours drive to Little Rock, Arkansas. I wasn't in my room 30 minutes. I get to my room in Little Rock, Arkansas. 30 minutes somewhere nearby. The GM called my room from the Philadelphia 76ers. He said, "Hey, there is a noon flight. We got to get you to Philly ASAP." I said, "What's up?" They said, "We ain't got time right now, but turn ESPN on." They had traded Allen Iverson. So the one week that I leave to the D-League, AI had got traded. So they scrambled. I get to Arkansas at 9:30. I'm on a flight at 12:00 going to Philly. I get there at halftime. They playing against the Washington Wizards. I played the whole third and fourth quarter and never turned back.
Zach Randolph: How was playing alongside Kobe Bryant? Lou Williams: It was cool. It was an eye-opening experience. Because he showed me that everybody don't take basketball as seriously as I thought they did. Cuz he was dead serious about hoop. Like, he was militant with his approach to basketball. Like the way that he saw the game, the way that he broke it down in the lens that he saw it from. Like he was breaking down the game in five minute increments to him like in this five minutes this what the game supposed to look like and then for the next three minutes this what it's supposed to look like. Like he was breaking the game down different and I wish I was with him at a different time in my career and a different time in his career because his body started breaking down on him. His body wasn't giving him what he what he needed.
Lou Williams: What's the difference between the Clippers and the Lakers? The Clippers is the hood. Make no mistake about it, and the Lakers is Hollywood. Make no mistake about it. We’re not confused about our identity at all. Like if you play for the Clippers, you embrace the idea of being, hey, you little brother, but you the gangster though.
