According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Darvin Ham, Kenny Atkinson and Terry Stotts are each finalist to replace Frank Vogel as the franchise’s leading man.

They’ve struggled in the two seasons since, losing to the Suns in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs and failed to make the Play-In Tournament in 2021-22 despite entering the season with the second-best odds to be crowned champions....

The team will wear “Black Mamba” uniforms, which were styled for and by the late Kobe Bryant, in Game 5 on Friday against the Miami Heat. They’ve worn the uniforms throughout the playoffs in Game 2 match-ups, ostensibly in honor of Kobe’s daughter Gianna, who died with him in the tragic helicopter accident in January. (Gianna wore No. 2 in her youth basketball games.) Just don’t expect to pick up your own Black Mamba jersey to commemorate the moment–at least not yet....

The headlines belonged to the title-holders on Saturday, as Barcelona cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win against Deportivo Alavés. The attacking trident of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé were extremely effective, while Sergi Roberto certainly did not look out-of-place in a midfield role. For Sunday, all eyes were on the capital as Real Madrid and Gareth Bale began the post-Ronaldo era with a 2-0 victory versus Getafe. Keylor Navas got the start at goalkeeper, while new addition Thibaut Courtois was on the bench....
