Simmons has lost over $19 million in fines since the season began (each missed game costs him $360,000).

According to sources close to the Pelicans, the team is heading into the deadline as a buyer focusing on the 2022-23 campaign. Zion Williamson, who has yet to play this year with a foot injury, is eligible for an extension this offseason. The team apparently views McCollum as the potentially ideal veteran scorer and leader to play alongside Brandon Ingram and Williamson.

Chase Hughes: Spencer Dinwiddie on being a leader for the Wizards: “It’s an interesting situation. I spoke up a little bit early on . It wasn’t necessarily welcomed. And so, like I said, I try to do whatever’s asked of me. At the end of the day, everybody has a role to play. It’s about being accountable in your role and doing that to the best of your ability.

And the trash-talking ensued. But it was all one-sided. Curry never said a word back to Porter. “I highly encourage it,” said Warriors head coach Steve Kerr of players jarring with Curry. “I think he’s unfazed by it, to be honest,” Juan Toscano-Anderson said. “He finds it comedic.
