Michael Scotto: The Minnesota Timberwolves and Norchad Omier have agreed to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype . Omier averaged 18.3 points on 59.2% shooting from the field, 11.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the G League last season.
Shams Charania: G/F Dalen Terry has agreed on a two-year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell ESPN. Terry enters his fifth NBA season after the former No. overall 18 pick spent time in Chicago and Philadelphia, and went to training camp with Golden State last month.
Shams Charania: Dalen Terry departs the Warriors' G League team in Santa Cruz to provide a wing addition to Oklahoma City. Per ESPN Research, the Thunder became the first team in 50 years to have three starters suffer injuries in the same game -- Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace on Oct. 25 -- and then all three miss the team's next 20 games or more.
Michael Scotto: The Denver Nuggets declined their rookie scale team option on DaRon Holmes worth $5.55 million for the 2027-28 season, league sources told @hoopshype. Holmes was the 22nd pick of the 2024 NBA Draft. Holmes will become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.
Michael Scotto: Seven players had rookie team options declined for the 2027-28 season, making them unrestricted free agents in 2027: Tidjane Salaun (Hornets), Nikola Topic (Thunder), Isaiah Collier (Jazz), DaRon Holmes (Nuggets), Cody Williams (Wolves), Pacome Dadiet (Knicks), AJ Johnson (Pelicans).

Jared Weiss: Keldon Johnson recited an ancient Popovichian proverb when asked about the Spurs' league-best sixth 5-game winning streak since the start of last season. “It's just a testament of pounding the rock. We continue to pound the rock. We continue to stay with it and, I mean, the tide turned.”
Carson Breber: No 38-year-old point guard has ever even averaged 12 PPG in a season. 38-year-old Steph Curry is currently averaging 30.0 PPG (in 28.8 MPG) on 68.8% TS. He’s been a Top 3 player so far this season. Do not take for granted the absurdity of what he’s doing.
Benjamin Royer: “It’s fun,” Austin Reaves said of the Lakers’ offense clicking vs. Miami for 138 points. “Obviously, Luka is doing incredible things and when he’s doing that it just opens up the floor for everybody else to play free and confident and I felt like that’s what we did tonight.”
Heat Central: Coach Spo on Luka being in 'better shape' this season: "I think there's probably been too much talk about that. He was in very good shape last year. He can make every play in the book you need to make as a point of attack guy.... He makes the right plays over and over. That's what the greats do"
Will Manso: About as open, honest and frustrated as I’ve seen Heat coach Erik Spoelstra in a long time. He makes clear the defense is not acceptable right now, and everyone is to blame, including himself: “I need to do better job of getting this group to defend to our potential. We’re all accountable to this.”

Jonathan Abrams: Years of reporting, hours of first-hand interviews, and one young core in OKC that altered the NBA forever. Hyped that “When We Were Young and Fearless” is out tomorrow.
Damichael Cole: Entertaining hoops tonight. That was a battle. Memphis fell 135-134 in overtime against the Pelicans. Ty Jerome was terrific down the stretch. He scored 40. Zion Williamson had 25. Grizz-Pacers on Wednesday
Anthony Slater: The 1-6 Kings become the last NBA team to get first win. Beat the Mavericks in Dallas tonight, temporarily easing early season angst. Darius Acuff had 25 points, closed with strong 4Q. Malik Monk came to life with 24 off the bench. They return home to face Lakers, Spurs.
Grant Afseth: Final: Kings 115, Mavs 100 Daniel Gafford: 20 PTS, 7 REB, 1 STL, 1 BLK Walter Clayton Jr.: 20 PTS, 1 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL Cooper Flagg: 17 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST, 2 STL Darius Acuff Jr.: 25 PTS, 5 REB, 6 AST, 1 STL Malik Monk: 24 PTS, 1 REB, 7 AST, 1 BLK Zach LaVine: 23 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST Dallas (4-3) faces San Antonio on Wednesday.
