"This is the first summer I'm gonna have to fully work," Isaac said. "Every other summer, I've been rehabbing and trying to get back to the court. I'll be hopefully in the next few weeks full-go and ready to just take on the summer with strength and do every I can to have a healthy next season."

2. ENVISIONING DILLON BROOKS TO MAGIC

"If Brooks can truly embrace a fresh start and buy into the Magic's culture, he could be a difference-maker for a team looking to take the next step into the playoffs."

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid won his first NBA MVP award. He averaged a league-best 33.1 points per game while grabbing 10.2 rebounds and dishing out 4.2 assists.

4. SIXERS VS. CELTICS GAME 2 TONIGHT

The Boston Celtics look to avoid going down 0-2 as James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers hope to remain perfect in the postseason (8 p.m. EST, TNT).
