Since Zach LaVine's debut, the Kings have looked disjointed on offense while they try to figure out their new dynamic. Part of that is the struggles of Malik Monk. Over the seven games, he's averaged 16.4 points and 5.6 assists, but on 39.6% shooting from the field and 28.3% from three.

As Mark Williams slowly works back into form following the rescinding of the Lakers trade, Jusuf Nurkic is settling into his role as Charlotte’s reserve center.

Charlotte Hornets star guard LaMelo Ball played an integral role in Wednesday night's win at the Los Angeles Lakers but will sit out Thursday's game at the Denver Nuggets with left ankle soreness.

On Thursday, LegendZ on X released leaked audio of Ball and Williams during their win over the Lakers. The first clip shows Ball's response to LA forward Rui Hachimura missing two key free throws in the final minute, appearing to have predicted the missed shots.
