Harrison Wind: Michael Malone on LeBron James: “It’s year 21, and the guy is getting better…I hope he gets tired. I hope he wears down. But I’ve seen no signs of LeBron James slowing down by any means.” pic.twitter.com/ckge9isSRT

He was asked if he can crack the U.S. team’s starting five. “I’m a realist, man, so I know it’s probably not going to happen,” Edwards said. “It’s going to maybe be even hard for me to find minutes. I’m going to enjoy my time, enjoying working out alongside of them, enjoying being on the bench, clapping them on, cheering them on. “If they need me, I’ll be out there ready to go.”
According to The Athletic’s Shams Charnia, Under Armour reportedly made a strong push, even involving Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry in its pitch. “Stephen Curry was involved in the Under Armour pitch, which is notable,” Charnia said. “He has Curry Brand with Under Armour. He was involved with that pitch. Him and Caitlin Clark, I think, are beginning to build a relationship, but she’s not signing there. And she will soon be official with Nike.”

Steve Kerr on Klay Thompson potential minutes next season: 'I would prefer not to play him 35 minutes'

“I thought Klay really showed that he was agreeable to the sixth-man role the second half of the year, even though eventually we put him back in the starting lineup,” Kerr said. “I think that’s got to be an option going forward. I would prefer not to play him 35 minutes. There were games down the stretch, I think the New Orleans game, I think I played him 38 minutes. We’ve got to be able to play him less. But in order to do that we’ve got to add more shooting to the roster, frankly. We can add more shooting and limit Klay’s minutes.”
