Dejounte Murray certainly has some thoughts when it comes to his time with the San Antonio Spurs. Despite blossoming into an All-Star prior to being traded to the Atlanta Hawks this past offseason, Murray still feels like he wasn't fully supported while playing for the Spurs, specifically by former teammate Tony Parker.

Another night, another history-making achievement for Nikola Jokic. Early in the third quarter of a 122-118 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, the reigning back-to-back MVP passed Alex English to set the Denver Nuggets' franchise record for assists with 3,680. Jokic is only center to ever lead a franchise in all-time assists, and his career total at the end of the night was 3,686. 

LeBron James followed up his season-best 48 points on Monday night with a 32-point outing on Wednesday. Though that wasn't enough for the Los Angeles Lakers to get a win against the Sacramento Kings, James moved closer to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA scoring record. He eclipsed the 38,000-point threshold on Sunday against the 76ers, and now needs only 284 points to become the leading scorer in NBA history.

The Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls meet in the 2023 NBA Paris Game on Thursday, with the matchup set for Accor Arena in Paris, France. The Pistons aim to right the ship after five losses in the last six games, and Detroit is 12-35 this season. The Bulls are 20-24 overall after a 14-point win over the Golden State Warriors in their last game. Lonzo Ball (knee) and Javonte Green (knee) are out for Chicago. Cade Cunningham (tibia) and Marvin Bagley III (hand) are out for Detroit, with Jalen Duren (ankle), Cory Joseph (knee), and Nerlens Noel (foot) listed as questionable.

The New Orleans Pelicans will return from a five-game road trip when they host the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. New Orleans went 2-3 in those five games, including a 113-103 loss at Cleveland on Monday. Miami had its three-game winning streak snapped in a 121-113 loss at Atlanta earlier this week.  

We're just past the halfway point of the 2022-23 NBA regular season, and just as there is great parity among the teams at the forefront the title conversation, it would appear there is very little separation among the MVP candidates at this point as well.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been without Anthony Davis for a full month, and his absence is beginning to take its toll. After winning five games in a row without Davis, they've now lost their last three, two of which came in heartbreaking fashion due to controversial calls at the end of the game. Given their limited depth and the other injuries they're currently dealing with, the Lakers need Davis back on the floor as quickly as possible if they are going to secure their place in the postseason.
