Morris Twins, of the Phoenix Suns, Charged With Assault
The incident took place on the night of Jan. 24 during a weekend basketball tournament, the Westwind Prep Southwest Prep Showcase, at the Nina Mason Pulliam Recreation and Sports Complex near 15th Avenue and Colter Street in central Phoenix.
A Phoenix police report indicated that the Morris twins and three other men assaulted Erik Hood, 36, a man they denied knowing. Hood told police that he had known them since they were ninth-graders in Philadelphia and mentored them while they played at the University of Kansas. Hood told police that he and the twins had a “falling out” in 2010. He said, in 2010, one of the Jan. 24 suspects saw Hood’s text message to the Morris’ mother that he would always be there for her and took it out of context, telling the twins that Hood wanted Angel Morris to be his girlfriend.

The NBA Salary Cap Will Reach $100 Million In Three Years
Sources told ESPN.com that, based on current projections, league officials expect the salary cap to increase from its current $63.1 million figure to $67.1 million next season, $89 million in 2016-17, and $108 million in 2017-18. The jumps represent massive increases largely triggered by the influx of television money that will begin pouring in after the 2015-16 season when the NBA’s new nine-year, $24 billion TV deal kicks in.
To put it into perspective, the largest salary-cap jump in history is $7 million in one season.

Anthony Davis Dislocated His Finger
As far as I can tell, the broadcast didn’t show or even take notice of Davis’s injury—though one reporter in the building tweeted that he was getting his fingers taped up. But reader Eric, who had darn good seats right behind the bench, says he saw Davis tell the Pelicans trainer to pop the finger back into place. Eric sent along this sequence of photos, apparently showing the trainer doing just that:
