Lakers Daily: Austin: "I got to my spots multiple times. I just missed a couple easy shots."
Draymond Green responding to Austin Rivers - “Austin, you and I averaged the same amount of points in HS and I say HS cause that's when you were at your best. Should he really talk about my NBA career?… The guy received the biggest bailout in US history when his dad gave him 42 million dollars.”
Oh No He Didn't: "The Lakers had lost their first two games after the injuries to Austin and Luka and they're up in San Francisco for a team meeting. Several team sources told me that LeBron from that moment on kind of shifted back into the leader role and the primary role" - @mcten

And as hot as Doncic and the Lakers were in March, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder went 14-1, with the reigning MVP averaging 30.7 points on 56.8% shooting and 6.6 assists for the month. "Very exciting [matchup]," Lakers guard Austin Reaves said. "Obviously they're the defending champs. Playing at a high level, obviously one of the best teams in the league, if not the best team. And we have an opportunity to go into OKC and battle them."

Lakers Daily: James Worthy says the ball needs to stay in Austin's hands "LeBron's out right now, but when they start the substitution back up again, this guy needs the ball in his hands a lot in order for him to be efficient and productive"

Josh Lewenberg: Mo Bamba said he and the Raptors have been in talks since the G League showcase but things materialized over the last 48 hours. Flew to Toronto from Austin, Texas yesterday and didn't land until ~7pm. The airline lost his bag. "Something told me to take sneakers out. Got lucky."
"Austin clearly felt something," Lakers coach JJ Redick said after the game. "We did our normal halftime and then as we were walking out of the locker room, [Lakers director of player performance and health] Dr. [LeRoy] Sims told me he was out."
The restaurant, located at 205 E. Third St. in the old J.

In May I married the love of my life, Brunson Green, at a ceremony in Austin, Texas, that couldn't have been more perfect. In August, we were supposed to go to the US Open, just as every year, but when the car came to take us to the airport, I was nowhere near ready. And for the first time in decades, we missed the flight because I couldn't stay focused to pack. I had been having weird symptoms like this for a week or two, but unless something is really wrong, I'm going to push through. I'm an athlete. Something was really wrong, though. I was in the CT machine at UCLA for all of five minutes before the tech pulled me out and said they were going to have me see a specialist. I've had enough CTs in my life to know they last longer than five minutes and whatever the tech had seen on the first images had to be bad. According to my family, in hours, my mental clarity, short-term memory and comprehension disappeared -- turning into an NBA player's version of "Dory" from "Finding Nemo." Over the next few weeks we would find out just how bad it was.
