NBA’s 2024 Draft Lottery Has Been Finalized

The 2024 NBA Draft lottery is set with many fanbases, either really excited or really disappointed. For the Atlanta Hawks, they have won the lottery by securing the first overall pick. However, for the Detroit Pistons, they have secured the fifth pick after having the league’s worst record.

It’s believed Alexander Sarr will be drafted by the Hawks and either paired with Trae Young or Dejounte Murray. It’s also believed the San Antonio Spurs will be looking to snatch a high point guard to pair with last year’s first-overall pick, Victor Wembanyama.

Here is the finalized lottery positions for all fourteen teams:

1. Atlanta Hawks
2. Washington Wizards
3. Houston Rockets
4. San Antonio Spurs
5. Detroit Pistons
6. Charlotte Hornets
7. Portland Trail Blazers
8. San Antonio Spurs (via Raptors)
9. Memphis Grizzlies
10. Utah Jazz
11. Chicago Bulls
12. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Rockets)
13. Sacramento Kings
14. Portland Trail Blazers (via Warriors)

The many different storylines and routes that could be taken in this draft are endless, as this draft class is very open, and depth at positions is not an issue.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Minnesota Timberwolves have learned that Donte DiVincenzo will be out indefinitely due to a big toe injury.

DiVincenzo injured his left foot’s big toe, which has been placed into a boot. Him and the organization will seek all options before making a final decision.

The 27-year-old’s injury is untimely, as he was just moved into Minnesota’s starting lineup. DiVincenzo put up a season-high 28 points in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.

There’s an expectation of him returning to the starting five once he is healthy.

Bucks Interested In Trading For Bradley Beal

According to Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks want to get involved in this year’s trade deadline; they will do that by potentially trading for Bradley Beal. The Phoenix Suns are testing Beal’s trade value.

Currently, the Bucks have shown more interest in Beal than Jimmy Butler. Butler has been connected to Milwaukee’s radar for a while now. However, it appears a mindset shift has been made, which means Beal is in front of Butler for now.

General Manager Jon Horst has kept his eye on Beal since he wanted out from the Washington Wizards. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Bucks put together an enticing offer the Suns couldn’t refuse.

A deal with the Bucks could be done; why? Because Phoenix could see them as a third team to help facilitate Butler to Phoenix without Miami taking on Beal’s contract. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.

While interest and rumors are spiking, it is unknown if Beal would waive his No-Trade Clause to join the Bucks.

In 29 games this season, the 31-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

According to multiple reports, the New York Knicks have discovered that Karl-Anthony Towns not only has a sprain but a bone chip in his right thumb.

His right hand is his shooting hand. There is good news, though: Towns is willing to play through the injury. This injury doesn’t require surgery during or after the season.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jericho Sims started in his absence.
