Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon injured his hamstring near the end of the second quarter and did not return for the second half of Friday's 102-100 win at the Bucks. Gordon scored 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting with six rebounds and three assists in the first half. - ESPN.com
LeBron James says he accomplished his goal of "restoring excellence" to the Los Angeles Lakers organization by winning a championship in his tenure with the club and "doesn't care" what anyone -- including team governor Jeanie Buss -- feels about him at this stage of his life. James made the comments Thursday following a 112-104 loss to the LA Clippers when he was asked about a story published this week by ESPN's Baxter Holmes that explored the Buss family dynamics leading up to the franchise's sale to billionaire Mark Walter in June. The story included reporting on the allegedly strained relationship between Jeanie Buss and James. The story detailed discord bubbling between Buss and James when he arrived as a free agent in 2018, for how the four-time MVP was "considered a savior for a floundering franchise," rather than Buss and the Lakers being lauded for landing him. - ESPN.com
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker injured his right ankle Friday night against Atlanta Hawks and limped off the court. The Suns did not have an update on Booker's injury after losing 110-103 to the Hawks, but he was seen leaving the locker room on crutches. - ESPN.com
Timothy McCormack, a self-proclaimed gambling addict, received a two-year prison sentence Wednesday as he became the first defendant to be sentenced for his role in a sweeping conspiracy involving NBA players Terry Rozier and Jontay Porter. A federal judge in Brooklyn handed down the sentence to McCormack, who defrauded sports betting platforms by using nonpublic information to place highly profitable wagers tied to the performance of NBA players allegedly in on the scheme. "I've struggled with a gambling addiction for more than half my life," McCormack said at his sentencing. - ESPN.com
