NBA 2K21 greatly expands WNBA content after league ratings rise in 2020

Damian Lillard remains “very adamant about only wanting to play for the Miami Heat,” sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Portland Trail Blazers are reportedly “not impressed” by Miami’s offer for Lillard. The Heat are somewhat limited in what they can offer to send out for Lillard, especially because the Blazers would want Tyler Herro sent to a third team.

Because the two sides are in a stalemate that could necessitate the participation of a third or even a fourth team, the process “could still take a few weeks.”

Kyrie Irving is expected to miss one to two weeks with a bulging disk in his back. The Dallas Mavericks have optimism that treatment over the coming days will provide a return-to-play target.

Irving was announced as out for Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a lumbar sprain in his back. The Mavericks are already without Luka Doncic with a calf injury.

Irving has performed at an All-Star level in his 14th NBA season, averaging 24.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game while shooting 49.0% from the floor and a career-best 44.1% from 3-point range.
