Pistons Hornets Brawl, JJJ’s Scary Injury and Why OKC Keeps Winning

Trysta is in Los Angeles for All-Star Weekend and is joined by producer Zeke to break down a wild week across the NBA. They look at the massive Pistons Hornets fight that led to big fines and fresh questions about Detroit’s “Bad Boys” reputation. Plus, is this Pistons team is actually built to win? Then, a scary situation in Utah with Jaren Jackson Jr. being ruled out for the season after being diagnosed with PVNS and undergoing knee surgery. Trysta and Zeke also dig into why the Thunder keep hitting home runs on young talent, as Jared McCain has shined early in OKC. Plus: early thoughts on Cam Thomas with the Bucks, including Doc Rivers’ public praise, Jeremy Sochan landing with the Knicks, Draymond Green’s latest hater take on NBA expansion, and the high-school-gossip fallout from the Golden State Warriors trading Jonathan Kuminga — including a stunning Alex Caruso deal they reportedly turned down.
