Joining NBA Today to discuss the league ruling on no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.
Reporting live from the NBA Draft Combine for SportsCenter on the Milwaukee Bucks fully open for business on trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
BREAKING NEWS: “There will be no further discipline for Victor Wembanyama..
No suspension and no fine” ~ @shams

Link in Bio: Sunday's draft lottery was the first touchstone of the offseason. Multiple teams expected to pursue Antetokounmpo this offseason, such as the Golden State Warriors (No. 11) and Miami Heat (No. 13), received their lottery picks to solidify potential offers.
The NBA playoffs represent another landmark point for the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes. Sources said postseason teams such as the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers pursued Antetokounmpo at the February deadline, and their finishes to the campaign will play a major factor in their aggressiveness to trade for Antetokounmpo.
Rival executives believe that Antetokounmpo's desired teams will be the largest factor in his trade destination. He is essentially on an expiring contract with next season guaranteed in his deal before a player option in 2027, providing him leverage to navigate to a specific team based on whether he would agree to stay long term given the players and picks needed to acquire him. He becomes eligible for a four-year, $275 million contract extension Oct. 1 if he is not traded, or six months after being traded with a new team.

No suspension, no fine. Victor Wembanyama will play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in San Antonio.
After a huge 3-1 comeback vs. Boston, the Sixers fall in round two to New York.
