San Antonio Spurs

1. POP PRAISES 'FANTASTIC' ZACH COLLINS

"He's been out for two years, and he's been fantastic," Popovich said of Collins. "He's just grown, getting back to where we thought he could be, and he deserves a lot of credit on both ends of the court for what he's doing."

2. ARAMARK SELLS SPURS STAKE

There's set to be a major shakeup in the makeup of the ownership group for the San Antonio Spurs.

According to sources, Aramark has sold its stake in the Spurs for $100 million.

"We sold approximately half of our interest because there was a buyer who was working with the team to establish an ownership position, and that's what that buyer wanted to buy with respect to that chunk of ownership," Aramark CEO John Zillmer said via My San Antonio.

The buyer of Aramark's stake has yet to be revealed publicly.

3. KNICKS VS. HEAT GAME 6

"In what had become one of the more surprisingly lopsided series, the New York Knicks were able to avoid elimination on Wednesday night with their 112-103 Game 5 win over the Miami Heat. They still trail 3-2 in this series, so they’ll need to force a Game 7 come Friday night to keep their season alive."

Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CST on ESPN.

4. LAKERS' ANTHONY DAVIS STATUS UP IN AIR FOR GAME 6 VS. WARRIORS

"NBA sources inform Chris Haynes of TNT that the Lakers anticipate Davis should be able to suit up for LA in a possible closeout game Friday, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks."

Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. CST on ESPN.

5. NBA DRAFT LOTTERY COUNTDOWN

The Spurs are four days away from the NBA Draft Lottery, where it will be revealed if San Antonio will have the opportunity to take Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick.
