Warriors to approve four-team trade

The Warriors made headlines after almost rejecting the trade when the injury report came out that Gary Payton II would need more time to heal his injury, but why almost cancel the trade due to an injury? Golden State believed the Portland Trail Blazers withheld information regarding the health of the player.

Long story short, they accepted the trade before the Sunday deadline. There was a lot of uncertainty about if they were going to accept the trade, which would have affected everyone involved in the trade.

But, in the end, the Hawks get Saddiq Bey, the Warriors get Gary Payton II, the Pistons get James Wiseman, and the Blazers get five second-rounders and Kevin Knox.

After a few days of uncertainty, the deal is finally completed.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
