Mike Woodson has reached a deal with Sacramento to become the team's associate head coach under Christie, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Wednesday, citing sources.
Woodson returns to the NBA after most recently serving as the Indiana men's basketball coach for four seasons.
Before his time with the Hoosiers, Woodson worked in the NBA from 1996 to 2021 in various roles. The last time he was an NBA head coach was with the New York Knicks from 2012 to 2014.
Woodson posts a 315-365 (.463) coaching record. He also has coached 46 playoff contests, holding an 18-28 record in such games.
Christie took over as interim coach in late December before earning the full-time gig last week. He and new general manager Scott Perry wasted no time making personnel changes, firing top assistant coach Jay Triano and several other assistants over the weekend.

Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 21 - Bobby Simmons (2008-10)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 22nd of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 21, which has has had a total of 26 players wear the number in the history of the team. The 16th of those players wearing No. 21 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, wing alum Bobby Simmons. After ending his college career at DePaul, Simmons was picked up with the 42nd overall selection of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics. The Chicago, Illinois native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Washington Wizards instead after a draft night deal, though. He would also play for Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks before he was dealt to New Jersey in 2008. His stay with the team would span span two seasons, coming to an end when he signed with the San Antonio Spurs in 2010. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Simmons wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 7.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

The Phoenix Suns Enter 2025-2026 With Loads Of Roster Questions
PHOENIX, ARIZONA - APRIL 09: Devin Booker #1 of the Phoenix Suns handles the ball during the second ... More half of the NBA game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at PHX Arena on April 09, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) As the Phoenix Suns have shaped their roster for the 2025-2026 season, questions linger about what exactly they're trying to achieve this year. Overabundance of wings As currently constructed, the five biggest earners on the team are either shooting guards or small forwards. Both positions often fall under the term wing, meaning that wings make up for over $134.8 million in salary, which is just under $20 million short of what the salary cap is ($154.6 million). Those five players (Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen, and Royce O'Neale) are all 6'6 and under, meaning the Suns - again - will be short, and enormously reliant on perimeter production to win games. (It's also worth noting the above grouping is just of the most expensive players. The organization has even more wings further down on the roster.) Green, who was acquired in the Kevin Durant trade, has projected as a wonky fit next to Booker since the day the trade went down. Rumors persisted for weeks that Phoenix would flip the 23-year-old for something else, but nothing materialized. That doesn't mean the Suns are necessarily committed to Green for the long haul. Green, who signed a three-year extension with Houston, negotiated a player option for the third season, meaning Phoenix might not have oodles of time to figure out that situation. Green seems like he could be solid trade deadline fodder, especially if he plays well enough to justify the price tag of his $33.5 million salary this season. If a team out there is in need of offense, particularly from the off-guard spot, and find Green interesting due to his youth, and explosive scoring (20.1 points for his career), then Phoenix should certainly be listening. Odd roster balance Due to the aforementioned overabundance of wings, it goes without saying that the rest of the roster is off-balanced. The team doesn't have a high-quality point guard at their disposal, or at least anyone who's significantly tested, which makes for an odd fit given that the Suns seemingly are still trying to compete. They do carry three centers, Khaman Maluach, Nick Richards, and Mark Williams, all of whom are actually quite decent. At this stage, it appears as if the Suns are putting a substantial portion of their eggs in that basket of the three of them controlling the defense this season. It should be noted that the Suns have two wildcards - Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro - who were rookies last year. Dunn, another wing, could potentially outplay some of the team's more expensive options, especially if his three-point shot has taken another step up. As for Ighodaro, who is a 4/5 hybrid, he too could cement a place for himself in the rotation, thus offering the Suns quality at a lowered price point. The 23-year-old is highly intelligent out on the floor, moves the ball well, defends, and can incorporate himself into basically every rotation. Of course, relying on second-year players to break out isn't exactly a plan. It'd be a positive surprise more than anything, meaning the Suns can't bank on that. All-in-all, this roster seem primed for an in-season trade. Perhaps several. Because whatever this iteration of Suns basketball is, it doesn't really make a ton of sense.

Under the radar in L.A.- Luka's revenge tour
After an up-and-down debut season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Dončić is back—and he's not playing around. The 26-year-old superstar is entering the 2025–26 season with a revamped mindset, a trimmed-down physique, and a renewed commitment to greatness that has teammates, rivals, and executives watching closely. In a recent feature with Men's Health, Luka showcased a noticeably leaner build and opened up about a complete lifestyle overhaul. The Slovenian star cut out gluten and sugar from his diet, doubled down on cardio, and tailored his offseason training with the singular goal of becoming 'the best version' of himself—on and off the floor. 'Just visually, I would say my whole body looks better,' Luka told Men's Health, smiling as he pointed out how much stronger and faster he feels. But it's not just aesthetics—Dončić is modeling his training after Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, both known for their relentless work ethic and championship mentalities. This version of Luka is leaner. Sharper. Hungrier. Despite battling injuries and missing games, Dončić still delivered superstar numbers last season: 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game over 50 appearances. But the Lakers missed the playoffs, and for a player of Luka's caliber, that wasn't good enough. Now, he's making sure history doesn't repeat itself. The Lakers, clearly impressed with Luka's dedication, are reportedly prepared to offer him a four-year, $229 million extension—the moment he becomes eligible on August 2. It would solidify Dončić as the long-term face of the franchise, a mantle he's slowly starting to embrace. Sources inside the Lakers front office say there's no hesitation: 'This is his team now.' To support their cornerstone, the Lakers have surrounded Dončić with key offseason acquisitions, including Marcus Smart, DeAndre Ayton, and Jake LaRavia. Smart credited a personal phone call from Luka as the reason he signed. 'If someone like Luka calls you up, you listen,' Smart said. 'He's locked in. That's the kind of guy you want to build with.' Luka's offseason focus extends beyond training and diet. It's about legacy. By modeling his discipline after Kobe and MJ—his idols—Dončić is committing to more than MVP numbers. He's committing to championships. To leadership. To greatness. And in LA, that means everything. Luka Dončić has never looked better—and he's never been more serious. From body transformation to leadership growth, the Lakers' franchise player is entering his prime with purpose. With a $229 million extension looming and a loaded roster around him, Dončić is ready to rewrite the story of his career—and maybe the future of the NBA.
