G League’s Top Pick Willie Reed Out For Season

January 16th, 2019 at 8:41pm CST by clarkcrum

Veteran big man Willie Reed, the top selection in this year’s G League draft by the Jazz’s G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars, has suffered a season-ending shoulder injury (link) that will foreclose any chance of the 28-year-old returning to the NBA this season.

Reed, who has played for four teams during his three-year NBA career, holds career averages of 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 152 career contests.

It was noted last month that the Warriors evaluated signing Reed after losing backup big man Damian Jones to injury, so it’s possible that another team would have been interested in his services moving forward as well, especially considering the possibility of now being able to offer a 10-day deal.

In 21 games with the Stars this season, Reed posted impressive averages of 20.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game.

And-Ones: BIG3, Stretch Provision, Hawes

January 10th, 2019 at 3:34pm CST by Luke Adams

Changes are coming to Ice Cube‘s BIG3 basketball league for the 2019 season, as the BIG3 announced today (via Twitter) that it will expand from eight teams to 12. According to Ice Cube (via Twitter), the first of those four new franchises – the Triplets – will be coached by longtime WNBA star Lisa Leslie.

In other BIG3 news, the league is lowering its age minimum from 30 years to 27 and will allow current NBA or international pros to participate. The BIG3 will also play games twice a week in 2019, appearing in a total of 18 cities.

In 2018, a team featuring longtime NBA players Corey Maggette, Glen Davis, Cuttino Mobley, and Quentin Richardson – and coached by Hall-of-Famer Nancy Lieberman – won the BIG3 title.

Here’s more from around the basketball world:

  • In an interesting piece for SI.com, Jake Fischer takes a closer look at the pros and cons of the NBA’s stretch provision from the perspective of players impacted by it.
  • Within that same story, Fischer notes that veteran NBA center Spencer Hawes continues to seek another shot in the league. “I don’t want to go out getting cut,” said Hawes, who was waived by the Bucks in September 2017. “I know it’s a rare thing to kind of go out on your terms. But I still have a lot in the tank. I don’t want to look back and say I was done at 29 and just kind of gave up on it.”
  • Teams that still have mid-level and bi-annual exceptions available will see those exceptions prorate daily by 1/177th starting today, ESPN’s Bobby Marks points out (via Twitter). For instance, the $8.641MM mid-level exception will decline in value by about $49K per day for the rest of the season. Proration won’t impact trade exceptions or disabled player exceptions.
  • After some confusion on Wednesday, Adam Johnson of 2 Ways & 10 Days confirms (via Twitter) that Orlando’s G League affiliate has waived rookie Justin Jackson following his season-ending injury. The Lakeland Magic have added Anthony Brown to replace Jackson, notes Johnson.
