According to Marc Stein, Nassir Little’s performance in the G League Showcase has put him on the radar of several teams.

Not only is Little on their radar, but there’s a large expectation of him signing with a franchise in the coming future.

In 16 G League games with Sioux Falls, the 24-year-old is averaging 16.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 33.8 minutes. 

He’s considered to be one of the better wing defenders in the G League right now, which one veteran scout said, “He’s one of the better game-ready call-up guys.”

Little has spent five years in the NBA; four years with the Portland Trail Blazers and a year with the Phoenix Suns.

Per multiple reports, he has turned down overseas opportunities to remain in the G League to earn an NBA roster spot.

According to reports headlined by the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis suffered a left ankle sprain during their victory against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.

Davis only played seven minutes in the game after rolling his ankle in the first quarter. When the 31-year-old went to the locker room, he never returned.

This was a non-contact injury while in the paint trying to grab a rebound; Davis immediately grabbed his ankle and walked off into the locker room.

The good news is that he could walk off under his power; Davis did not need assistance.

Los Angeles lists him as “day-to-day” with no clear timeline for his return.

Their next game is this Saturday, December 28th, against the Sacramento Kings. It is a home game.

According to the Miami Heat, they have no interest in trading away their superstar player. Pat Riley, who usually doesn’t do this, has had enough of these rumors and put them to bed.

“We usually don’t comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches,” said Riley. “Therefore, we will make it clear – We are not trading Jimmy Butler.”

On Christmas Day, ESPN’s Shams Charania said Butler wanted to be traded by this upcoming season’s trade deadline. This speculation has grown since Charania and Butler’s agent were online feuding.

Trade rumors and reports have risen since Miami decided not to extend the veteran last offseason.

For right now, Riley says the Heat will not be trading Butler. Essentially saying people like Shams are completely wrong and will remain loyal to the 35-year-old for at least through this season.
