The 2023 NBA Draft is now almost two weeks away — and the only thing we know for sure is that the San Antonio Spurs will select Victor Wembanyama with the first pick. After that, things could go any number of directions with the biggest question revolving around what Charlotte will do with the second pick.

Denver stole the home court edge back with Game 3 win in Miami. The Denver Nuggets have taken a 2-1 lead in the 2023 NBA Finals by defeating the Miami Heat, 109-94, in Game 3 on Wednesday. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray led the way by becoming the first teammates in NBA history to post 30-point triple-doubles in any game, but it was a team-wide performance as the Nuggets played one of their best defensive games of the postseason.

Jimmy Butler has been the best player for the Miami Heat throughout their surprise playoff run, but since the NBA Finals started, that title has belonged to Bam Adebayo. Miami's star big man is leading the Heat in both points (23.5) and rebounds (11) per game while dishing out 4.5 assists per game and defending two-time MVP Nikola Jokic on the other end of the floor.

Las Vegas, NV

Karlsson missed Wednesday's practice because of an illness, according to Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Karlsson is still probable for Game 3 on Thursday. It would be a big loss for Vegas if he isn't able to play, especially given that he's provided 10 goals and 15 points in 19 playoff contests this year. If Karlsson isn't available Thursday, then Teddy Blueger might draw into the lineup for the first time since May 25.

Seattle, WA

Munoz (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday. As expected, the Mariners returned Munoz from the 15-day IL on Tuesday, clearing him to return to the big-league bullpen for the first time since April 9. The right-hander has appeared in four games with Seattle this season, tossing 3.1 scoreless frames, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out three batters. The 24-year-old flamethrower will likely step right into a prominent high-leverage role in Seattle's bullpen, though veteran Paul Sewald could have a strong hold on the ninth inning for the time being. Regardless of where he slots in, Munoz figures to be a strong fantasy asset coming off of a 2022 campaign where he produced a 2.49 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 13.3 K/9 and 22 holds over 65 frames in 64 appearances.

The injury that caused Dadonov to miss Dallas' final three playoff contests was an MCL strain, Stars general manager Jim Nill told Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest on Thursday.

Senzel was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee irritation, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Senzel missed one game last week and another this week with the injury, and the Reds have decided to give him a little down time. He will be eligible for activation June 16, but whether he will be ready to roll at that time remains to be seen. Top prospect Elly De La Cruz is up to take Senzel's spot on the roster.

Chicago, IL

Patrick (toe) has been taking part in practices during OTAs, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports. Patrick signed a two-year deal with Chicago last offseason but ended the 2022 campaign on injured reserve after undergoing surgery in November. The veteran offensive lineman should be good to go for the start of training camp and will likely serve as a depth option at either center or guard.

Phoenix, AZ

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Washington. McCarthy has multiple steals in two straight games and has stolen 10 bags in 10 games since being recalled from Triple-A Reno. The outfielder is getting on base with regularity since rejoining the parent club, which could mean a full season's worth of steals. McCarthy had 23 stolen bases over 99 games in 2022.

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- Nicholas Morrow and Sean Desai are both in their first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, meaning growing pains are to be expected in a new defense. While the philosophy is similar to Jonathan Gannon's defense, Desai is looking to eliminate the growing pains that come with learning new terminology.

Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to throw a full bullpen session Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. Suarez has already thrown off the mound a couple of times, but the catcher was positioned in front of the plate during those workouts. He's now ready to take things to the next level in his ongoing recovery from lingering stiffness and inflammation in his right elbow. Re-signed to a five-year, $46 million contract this offseason, the 32-year-old setup man could finally be a contributor for the Padres around the end of June.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is all about the rights of the people, especially the right to party.

PHILADELPHIA -- The final day of OTA practice certainly wasn't long for the Philadelphia Eagles, who had to practice indoors due to the air quality conditions taking over the Northeast from the wildfires in Canada. Even though the Eagles wrapped things up until training camp in July, the team provided a glimpse of what to expect in six weeks.

New Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio consulted with the Eagles during the 2022 season, and it turns out he might've landed a permanent job in Philadelphia if not for Jonathan Gannon's polarizing departure. Weeks after ESPN indicated the Cardinals' hiring of Gannon affected the Eagles' succession plan, Fangio admitted Thursday it's "possible" he would've otherwise been in Philly.

Oakland, CA

Allen was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Allen has made more starts at shortstop than any other Athletic this season, but even Oakland wasn't willing to put up with his .476 OPS any more. Kevin Smith has been recalled to take Allen's spot on the roster and should see ample time at shortstop along with Aledmys Diaz.

When Cincinnati Reds prospect Elly De La Cruz blasted his first MLB home run 458 feet away from home plate on Wednesday night, there was a good chance he would never see that ball again. Lucky for De La Cruz, one fan in the last row of Great American Ballpark had good reaction time and a sense of generosity.
