Ingram, JJJ to join USA FIBA World Cup rosterAccording to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Brandon Ingram and Jaren Jackson Jr. will join Team USA for the FIBA World Cup.
Advice: BI and JJJ join Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Austin Reaves and Big Bobby Portis on the team. Woj reports that the team will finalize its 12-man roster later in June. NBCSportsEDGE.comBrandon Ingram NOP - SG,SF,PF -
Lovely to Love your lovin': K-Love goes 6/10/1/2Kevin Love scored six points Sunday and added 10 rebounds, an assist, two steals and two triples as the Heat defeated the Nuggets 111-108.
Advice: Love was a DNP-CD in each of Miami’s last three games, but with Caleb Martin dealing with a non-COVID illness (yet still able to play), the former landed in the starting lineup Sunday. Love logged 22 minutes, his most since playing 23 in Game 4 of the second-round series against the Knicks, and turned them into quality production. It’s unclear what his role will be Wednesday in Game 3, but Coach Spo should give him a long look when considering his rotations for the rest of the Finals. NBCSportsEDGE.comKevin Love MIA - PF,C -
No prob for D-Rob: Robinson sparks 4Q Miami rallyDuncan Robinson totaled 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting (2-of-3 3-Pointers) and added an assist across 17 minutes in Sunday’s win over Denver.
Advice: Robinson wasn’t on the court too much in this one, but he certainly made the most of his minutes. D-Rob started the fourth quarter, and to the untrained eye, it appeared Reggie Miller was out there wearing his jersey due to the speed of his scoring. Robinson racked up all 10 of his points in the first 2:16 of the quarter, acting as the catalyst for a 13-2 Miami run to take an 88-85 lead. Robinson and Miami’s other role players came to play after dreadful showings in Game 1, and they’ll look to carry that momentum into Wednesday’s Game 3 at home.

Massive regression in lossPorter supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Advice: Although Porter was one of the heroes in Denver's Game 1 win, he was unable to get many shots to fall Sunday. Porter's five points matched his second-worst scoring total of the season, and although Nikola Jokic posted a huge 41-point total to pick up the slack, the Porter's production was sorely missed.

Lights it up from long range in winStrus chipped in 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Advice: After going a dreadful 0-for-9 beyond the arc in Game 1, Strus' stroke caught fire in the second game of the series. Strus joined Duncan Robinson as part of a scoring barrage that erased Denver's huge advantage heading into the final stanza. Caleb Martin had stolen a bit of Strus' thunder throughout the playoffs, but with Martin a step slower in Game 2 due to a non-COVID illness, Strus played 29 minutes and picked up the slack. Strus was the hero of the play-in bracket with eight threes in the win over the Bulls, and he can be dangerous if his shot is dialed in. Rotowire.comMax Strus MIA - SG,SF -
Caleb Martin, Cody Zeller available for Game 2Caleb Martin (illness) and Cody Zeller (right foot sprain) are both available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver on Sunday.
Advice: Martin shined in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he really struggled in Game 1 against Denver. This illness may have bothered him during that game, so hopefully he'll be more productive in Game 2. He should continue to start for them alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Zeller only played eight minutes off the bench in Game 1, so he likely won't use him much, aside from trying to throw a different look at Nikola Jokic, even if it wasn't very effective.

Anthony Edwards among current Team USA commitmentsAnthony Edwards, Bobby Portis and Austin Reaves are currently committed to play for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup this summer, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Advice: Edwards is one of the brightest young stars in the league, so it shouldn't be surprising that he'll suit up for Team USA in August. After being a solid player at times last season, Reaves broke out for the Lakers and shined in the postseason for them, which clearly vaulted him into contention for a spot to represent the country. Portis has been a key bench piece for the Bucks over the last couple of seasons, and he'll likely play a similar role for them in the tournament. Reports from last October indicated that Trae Young and Bradley Beal could also play for Team USA. We'll see who Grant Hill and Steve Kerr fill out this team with as their training camp approaches in August. NBCSportsEDGE.comAnthony Edwards MIN - SG,SF -
Julius Randle undergoes arthroscopic ankle surgeryThe Knicks announced that Julius Randle underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left ankle on Friday.
Advice: Randle, who initially injured his left ankle late in the regular season, was hampered by the issue throughout the team's playoff run. The two-time All-Star reinjured his ankle during Game 5 of the Knicks' first-round series against the Cavaliers and did not look like himself at all during the second round. According to the team, Randle is expected to resume basketball activities at some point this summer. He finished this season as a top 75 player in 9-cat formats, rebounding after a disappointing 2021-22 campaign. Having a full season with Jalen Brunson under his belt should help Randle maintain that status, if not exceed it, in 2023-24. NBCSportsEDGE.comJulius Randle NYK - PFGTD -
Domantas Sabonis (thumb) hoping to avoid surgeryDomantas Sabonis was due to undergo another scan on his injured right thumb on Thursday and hopes to avoid having to undergo surgery.
Advice: Sabonis played a significant chunk of the season with an avulsion fracture in his right thumb. He had the thumb scanned immediately after the Kings' season concluded and was due to undergo another evaluation on Thursday. The hope is that Sabonis will be able to avoid surgery this summer. The results of the second scan and ensuing treatment plan will impact his availability for Lithuania in this summer's FIBA World Cup. NBCSportsEDGE.comDomantas Sabonis SAC - PF,CGTD
