Former Sixers big man Dwight Howard gets into fight, ejected in Big 3
Former Sixers big man Dwight Howard gets into fight, ejected in Big 3
Hall of Fame big man Dwight Howard spent one season with the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2020-21 season. He played in 69 games, starting six of those games, and averaged 7.0 points and 8.4 rebounds as a backup big behind Joel Embiid.
Howard fashioned one of the best careers from a big man. He averaged 15.7 points and 11.8 rebounds during his 18 years in the league and was named an All-Star eight times, made an All-Defensive Team five times, and won Defensive Player of the Year three times along with winning a title in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
As Howard begins life after the NBA, he is in the Big 3 league and got into a fight with former NBA player Lance Stephenson. The two former pro players got into a physical altercation and were then ejected from the contest.
Howard and Stephenson will have to find a way to bounce back from this, but this is a tough look for the Hall of Fame big man.

NBA rumors: Teams ‘preparing for' Oklahoma City Thunder to make big move in 2025 NBA Draft
The Oklahoma City Thunder are attempting to turn their core into a championship, while a majority of the league is focused on final preparation before the 2025 NBA Draft. While the NBA Finals is Oklahoma City's focus for now, teams do think the Thunder might have something up their sleeve on draft night. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, teams picking inside the lottery of the 2025 NBA Draft are 'preparing for' the Thunder of moving up into the lottery.

While no specific targets were named, the Houston Rockets (10th overall pick) are open to moving the selection and teams like the Brooklyn Nets (8th overall pick) Portland Trail Blazers (11th overall pick) could be targeted. One incentive for trading up for the Thunder could be the desire to land NBA-ready talent this offseason on rookie contracts. With Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren due to receive contract extensions, Oklahoma City needs to start consolidating its picks to find the best young talent on cheap talent that it can.

If the Thunder were to move up into the top 12 picks, it could put them in a position to land someone like Duke Blue Devils center Khaman Maluach or French point guard Nolan Traore.

Insider names 3 teams most likely to trade up in 2025 NBA Draft, including Oklahoma City Thunder
While the national focus right now is on the NBA Finals, a majority of teams around the league are making their final preparations for the 2025 NBA Draft. In what could be the busiest night in basketball this offseason, several marquee teams could be eyeing big moves. Insider Jake Fischer reports that the Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets are viewed around the league as the three likeliest teams to trade up in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft.

Paired with its future first-round picks, Thunder general manager Sam Presti has more than enough assets to move up high in the lottery. Oklahoma City's incentive would be to consolidate some of its draft capital to potentially bring in a higher-end prospect on a rookie contract. Orlando is expected to be one of the more active teams this offseason. It's already been linked to several role players who can provide three-point shooting in both NBA free agency and the trade market. In the 2025 NBA Draft, the Magic have two first-round picks (16th and 25th overall) and two second-round picks (46th and 57th overall) to work with.

The Nets have four first-round picks – 9th, 19th, 26th and 27th overall – and it's highly unlikely they bring in that many rookies next season. The Nets are also calling around the league, offering to package draft picks with Cam Johnson to move up. Advertisement There's been less buzz about which teams are willing to trade down, though the Philadelphia 76ers (3rd overall pick) and Houston Rockets are known to be receptive to trading their first-round picks.
