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 -
Report: Lakers not interested in adding KyrieThe Lakers are not interested in adding Kyrie Irving in free agency, per The Athletic's Jovan Buha.
Advice: On the same day that a report surfaced suggesting that Kyrie had reached out to LeBron James about joining Dallas, the Lakers made it clear that they weren't going to bring Irving to them. If the duo want to reunite to chase a championship, it would likely be in Dallas, though that wouldn't be realistic. LeBron has one more year on his contract, so the Mavs would have to trade for him, and it's unlikely that the Lakers would accept any offer that Dallas can make.

Report: Tyler Herro still experiencing sorenessTyler Herro (fractured right hand) is still experiencing soreness and swelling in the right hand according to Ros Gold-Onwude of ESPN.
Advice: Despite the optimism of Herro returning in any capacity for these NBA Finals, it still seems he may have a ways to go. Ros Gold-Onwude reported Monday that she spoke with Herro prior to Game 2 and he said he can still feel soreness when making a "follow through" shooting motion. The hope was for Herro to return by Game 3 however a more cautious approach seems to be what he and the Heat are taking. Game 3 is on Wednesday. NBCSportsEDGE.comTyler Herro MIA - PG,SGINJ -
Gabe Vincent stunts on Nugs w/ 23 points, 4 threesGabe Vincent finished Sunday’s win over Denver with 23 points, three assists, two steals and four triples.
Advice: Through two games of the NBA Finals, Miami’s leading scorers are… checks notes … Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent. If you laid some money down on Bam and Vincent futures, it’s time to start playing the lottery! Vincent was blisteringly hot in this one, leading his team in the scoring department and stroking it from downtown yet again. The UC Santa Barbara product has 42 points on 15-of-26 shooting, including a mind-melting 9-of-16 from beyond the arc through Games 1-2, and he’ll look to keep up the hot shooting in front of his home crowd when the series shifts to Miami for Game 3 on Wednesday.

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.

Ekes out another double-doubleMurray ended Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals with 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 39 minutes.
Advice: It took awhile for Murray to get going, but he was a key player in the second quarter, collecting eight points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in the stanza as the Nuggets built a 16-point lead before the Heat began to chip away at the deficit. Although Murray finished as the team's second-highest scorer, the team needs heroic nights from Murray, who has saved the Nuggets with his stellar play beyond the arc throughout the playoffs. Murray often stays on the court when Nikola Jokic takes a seat, and the Nuggets need Murray to step up in those moments. Rotowire.comJamal Murray DEN - PG,SG -
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 -
Haliburton, Mikal Bridges to play for Team USATyrese Haliburton and Mikal Bridges will play for Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Advice: Shortly after reporting that Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves and Bobby Portis will represent the USA in the FIBA World Cup, Shams Charania updated his list to include Haliburton and Bridges. Haliburton became an All-Star for the first time this season and solidified his name as one of the best point guards in the league. Bridges had a solid season for Phoenix, but he took his game to another level after the trade to Brooklyn. There will be more names announced before training camp in August, but this is a quality roster so far, even if it isn't as star-studded as it has been in the past.

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
