In an exclusive to @TheAthletic, Dalton Knecht said as of Friday, he'd had no clarity on his status with the Lakers and that his confidence was unshaken by the rescinded Mark Williams trade his rookie season nytimes.com/athletic/7698077…

Does Dalton Knecht have a future with the Lakers? ‘He’s in a tough spot’ (Gift Article)

Two years after being drafted, Knecht's time as a Laker could be nearing its end. How did things get here, and how does he feel about it?

.@Tracy_McDannald asked Bob Chesney how UCLA's start is affecting recruiting: "This is what I envisioned UCLA to be, from the outside across the country looking over here, understanding the location, the academics, what this athletic department is built on."

UCLA head coach Bob Chesney this afternoon when I asked about hosting out-of-state visitors in what was another strong group of recruits in attendance this past weekend (Chad’s recruiting intel below says it was pretty successful):

UCLA’s national push is paying off. Top targets from the Southeast made their way to Westwood to see the Bruins beat Wisconsin. One already committed, and UCLA is gaining momentum with others. Intel: on3.com/rivals/news/uclas-na…

Asked Sean McVay about this. Said Kyren Williams sought him out to talk about it and explain that he misspoke while frustrated after the game. Full quote from McVay:

A lot of injuries for the Rams piled up this past week. Yikes.

Not surprised. Dalton Knecht wasn’t the same after he was initially involved in the trade for Mark Williams.

Simmons had a $1m guarantee if he was on the roster opening day. However, because this is a significant injury (salary continuation), Simmons will receive his full salary.

An MRI confirmed a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon for Ben Simmons. A devastating turn of events on the eve of his NBA return after rehabilitating from back surgeries.

Worst possible sight you could see in an open practice. Stephen Curry just slipped and tweaked something. Just limped off the floor. Looked like the knee.
