The Sacramento Kings put up a bit of a fight against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night and came out on top 126-122 thanks to an explosive 32-point scoring night from Malik Monk, who had to play a big role for the team after Nick Clifford left early.

While Monk’s huge play will draw most of the headlines on the night for the Kings, the consistently solid play of their starting center, Maxime Renaud, should not go unnoticed among fans. Renaud, who is in the midst of an incredible rookie campaign, had another stellar performance himself, recording 22 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, while missing only three of his 13 shot attempts.

Renaud has gone under the radar for most of the season, and his disappearance from rookie festivities during All-Star weekend is puzzling for Kings veteran DeMar DeRozan. In fact, according to Frankie Cartocelli of Sacktown Sports, DeRozan is “pissed off” that he did not receive an invitation to the Rising Stars Game.

Now, DeRozan is urging Renaud to continue working hard so he can make the All-Rookie team.

“Don’t tell him, but from my perspective, I want him to make the All-Rookie team,” DeRozan said, per Brandon Nunes of Sacktown Sports.

Renaud is showing himself as a keeper for this poor Kings team as he has made the most of his opportunity amid Domanotas Sabonis’ injury-plagued season. On the season, the rookie from France is averaging 13.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game as a starter, which is quite a steal to get the 42nd overall selection of the 2025 NBA Draft.

Should the Kings decide to completely rebuild and sell off their veterans, especially Sabonis, Renaud should get even more consistent opportunities to achieve double-doubles like he has been doing.

San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Ingram has spent much of this season honing his skills behind the scenes. The quiet development of the 2024 second-round pick has been a source of satisfaction within the Spurs organization.

Ingram was named G League Player of the Week after averaging 22.2 points, 13.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists in his last five appearances with the Austin Spurs. He recorded four double-doubles and one triple-double, while Austin posted a 4–1 record.

Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said of Ingram’s development, “The Player of the Week is definitely trending in the right direction.” “I think it’s always somewhat gratifying for him, somewhat beneficial as an organization and a staff, and somewhat fun when you have a young player in your program for a year and they’re grinding, especially when you’re in the G League and it can be a little out of sight, out of mind to the outside world. You’re selling them on slowly getting better and keeping up with the process.

“It can be hard for young guys when, sometimes, they don’t get the attention or direct feedback that they’re looking for or that they’re used to, especially because a lot of them end up being really good college players. So it’s great for him to continue to be that way and see the improvement and development that he’s had and to be recognized in a very deserving way.”

Ingram, the No. 48 pick in the 2024 draft out of North Carolina, has spent most of this season in the G League, appearing in just five NBA games.

The 6-foot-5 forward’s two-way development with Austin has been encouraging for San Antonio. Ingram is averaging 16.1 points, 12.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists on 48.2 percent shooting in 21 G League appearances.

“He’s really accepted his role and embraced it,” Johnson said. “It can be hard to do that in terms of your role as a defender, a physical role player, playing off the ball to a certain extent. But always trying to extend or create more possessions with offensive rebounds, hitting open shots, getting out and running in transition, and obviously we want him to be a dominant defender and be able to rebound. I think that’s something he’s really embraced and you’ve seen it. And sometimes when you do that If you do it, you get a monster production with it, you can tell he has put his energy in the right places.”

The Spurs signed Ingram to a one-year, two-way contract before this season.

Billy Jr. later began playing basketball and played in college at Providence. In 1987, he was part of the team that reached the Final Four. Ultimately, Billy Jr. became the head coach at Florida and led them to two consecutive NCAA Championships in 2006 and 2007.

非單口喜劇演員的頒獎典禮主持人在開場獨白時不可避免地會追求唾手可得的成果。喬·哈姆在周四晚上的 NFL 榮譽頒獎典禮上情不自禁地說出了這項運動中最可靠、最持久的笑點之一。

據 The Athletic 的 Joe Person 報導，這位艾美獎得主開玩笑說：“除了 NFC South，這項運動沒有任何地方不能蓬勃發展。”

儘管卡羅萊納黑豹隊在 NFC 外卡賽中險些擊敗洛杉磯公羊隊，但仍以 8 勝 9 負的戰績一瘸一拐地進入季后賽。坦帕灣海盜隊基本上為貓隊送上了分區冠軍，但在前三年贏得國聯南部賽時，總戰績僅為 27 勝 24 負。儘管亞特蘭大獵鷹隊在賽季末表現強勁，但他們卻長期表現不佳。新奧爾良聖徒隊正在顯現出生命的跡象，但他們仍然有很多工作要做。

簡單來說，劃分是無關緊要的。至少現在是這樣。在這四支球隊中的一支重新成為真正的強隊之前，嘲笑將繼續下去。然而，他們可能並不關心公眾輿論。對於許多人來說，國聯南區可能是糟糕足球的縮影，但對於居住在其中的人們來說，它代表著希望和激烈的競爭。這四人知道，在某一年，頂部和底部之間的差距通常不會是不可逾越的。

因此，國聯南區比賽比大多數分區比賽更有分量。對於那些在常規賽最後一周等待季后賽開始或哀悼他們的夢幻足球賽季的人來說，黑豹隊、海盜隊、獵鷹隊和聖徒隊能夠提供一些吸引力。這些球隊都有自己的目標，無論是進入季后賽還是只是簡單的驕傲。

然而，喬·哈姆並沒有讓他們擺脫困境。希望下個賽季有人能挺身而出並提高標準。
