Three Teams Considered Favorites To Land Pascal Siakam

If the Toronto Raptors get a deal done before the trade deadline, expect it to be with the Sacramento Kings, Detroit Pistons, or Indiana Pacers. Those are the three teams who are currently leading this race.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports states these three teams are most likely to land Pascal Siakam. It’s been confirmed the Atlanta Hawks have dropped out of the race as they are looking at other ways to reset their roster.

While the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers were named potential landers, they need more essential assets for Toronto to take them seriously.

Like the OG Anunoby trade with the New York Knicks, Toronto is looking for young, developed players rather than future draft capital. They don’t want to go into rebuild mode; however, they make a few moves where they change and grow into being a playoff contender.

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.

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Bone Chip & Sprain In Right Thumb

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.
