Golden State Warriors: Welcome to the Bay, Frank Vogel 👋 Coach Vogel joins the Warriors' staff as Associate Head Coach after two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, most recently serving as the team’s lead assistant coach for the 2025-26 season. He has 12 years of head coaching experience with the Indiana Pacers (2010-16), Orlando Magic (2016-18), Los Angeles Lakers (2019-22), and Phoenix Suns (2023-24), leading the Lakers to the 2020 NBA Championship and the Pacers to consecutive Conference Finals appearances in 2013 and 2014.

Ian Begley: All of the veterans - John Konchar, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks - are on training camp deals. They will compete for open roster spot. Knicks would have to trade player on NBA deal if they wanted to keep two vets. If not, they’ll likely have to choose between a big man and a wing. Knicks have all two-ways open. Liam Robbins will have chance to compete for 2 way. I assume Tyler Nickel gets a two way deal. Kevin McCullar Jr. has been working out with Knick players this month, remains on NYK radar.

Barry Jackson: For those asking about Gabe Vincent, there has been no Heat offer. Knicks brought him to New York earlier this week. New York signed 5 vets today to compete for 1 or 2 roster spots: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, Ochai Agbaji. Heat, which is hard-capped, added Nick Richards on this type of non-guaranteed deal but otherwise is holding onto a spot in case something needle-moving shakes free in months ahead.

Michael Scotto: The New York Knicks have signed former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to an Exhibit 9 deal, team says. The 25-year-old center has averaged 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game in five seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers.

Michael Scotto: The New York Knicks have signed Bruce Brown to an Exhibit 9 deal, team says. Brown, a 2023 champion, has averaged 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 24.8 minutes per game in eight NBA seasons with the Pistons, Nets, Nuggets, Pacers, Raptors, and Pelicans.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham said NBA commissioner Adam Silver reached out to her for input on the WNBA's search for its next commissioner, with Cathy Engelbert set to retire at the end of 2026. Silver initiated the contact through Cunningham's agents. "I have talked to Adam Silver a couple of times, and I think he's a great guy," Cunningham said after the Fever practiced Monday. "He was very knowledgeable and full of wisdom, so getting to talk to him and hear his perspective on how he approaches the NBA is huge, and who he's looking for. I think if you want to know the real answers, you go to him."

Dustin Dopirak: INBOX: All four players who signed an Exhibit 10 with the Pacers the other day -- Keion Brooks Jr., Wade Taylor IV, Cam Hidreth and M.J. Iraldi -- were waived today, but that's standard stuff. It just means they'll be with the Boom this year and get a roster bonus.

Tony East: A few guys who are getting training camp deals from the Pacers: Wade Taylor IV, Keion Brooks, Cameron Hildreth and M.J. Iraldi. The latter 3 finished last season with Noblesville, Taylor’s G League rights were recently acquired in a trade.

Stewart was the highest scorer for the United States with 22 points, while shooting 7-of-10 on two pointers and 8-of-9 from the free throw line. Jackie Young contributed highly with 18 points, six rebounds and five assists as she hit four threes as well as Kahleah Cooper accumulated 15 points. Chelsea Gray added 12 points and five assists, while Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark scored 12 points and added three assists in just 13 minutes.

Jokic was simply asked to clarify who is the best defender against him in the NBA. Serbian center shortly said "Everyone," before naming a full list of different players: "Everyone. Some teams defend very well as a unit, while others have excellent individual defenders. Zubac guards me really well, and so does Nurkic. I guess they’re just bulkier, so I can’t move them when we’re battling for position," he said. "I think Rudy Gobert is a great defender, even though I’ve historically played well against him. Jalen Duren, he’s undersized but tricky. Wendell Carter Jr. is also on the shorter side, and Myles Turner blocks a lot of shots. There’s no need to even talk about Wembanyama. They’re all good; the league is talented on both ends of the floor."

Patrick Beverley: "What was said in Indiana was, I've never been spoken to that way my entire life in the NBA. I'm going to just say that. Do I regret the way I handled things? Of course. Could I have had handled things better? Of course. Obviously that you cross and you don't cross when it comes to just talking to anybody, any human being. And that line for the people that were around, that line was crossed several times. Did I handle it the best way? Probably not, but would that person go around saying those things again? Probably not."

On paper, it could appear as though the league was taking away the 2029 Clippers pick the Sixers had the right to swap. But a league source confirmed a report from PhillyVoice that said the NBA was taking away a first-round pick the Pacers owe the Clippers from the Ivica Zubac trade and was not touching the Clippers’ own pick, meaning the Sixers’ right to swap that pick remains intact.
NBA Courtside: Thaddeus Young says even though the Clippers lost 5 draft picks they’re still not in a bad position: “Because they made three trades before this actually happened. Which makes me believe also they knew something was coming. The first trade was Harden for Garland, right? Second trade was Zubac, right? The third trade was Kawhi. You get Toronto picks you got picks for Zubac, right? You got Garland which is pretty good fu*king point guard, right? 10 years younger than Harden. So essentially you saying, “Hey, I got to go ahead and set my team up for these next couple years just to be just decent.”
