Chris Paul out again on Friday

Chris Paul (knee) will not play Friday, as expected.

Paul has now missed six straight games and there's no target date for his return. A back-to-back road set on Sunday and Monday doesn't seem like a good place to start. Eric Bledsoe is locked and loaded.

Brad Beal (leg) expects clearance next month

Bradley Beal (leg) is expected to receive clearance to resume basketball activities in early July, sources told the Washington Post.

Beal's season ended early due to a stress fracture in his fibula, and after nearly three months of inactivity, Beal is almost ready to return. However, Beal's status for summer league is up in the air, and there's a chance he winds up missing it in order to recover. The Wizards will treat their shooting guard of the future with kid gloves. Beal is expected to be ready for Team USA minicamp.

Report: Mavericks likely to trade No. 13 pick

The Mavericks are "almost certain" to trade the No. 13 overall pick to make a run at Dwight Howard in free agency, a source told the Dallas Morning News.

We've heard previously that the Mavs are likely to move their draft pick, and this confirms that chatter. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Mavs trade the pick or take someone from the international ranks and stash him overseas during the 2013/14 season.

LeBron, Heat win Game 6 for the ages

LeBron James triple-doubled with 32 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and a block -- and hit just 11-of-26 shots -- but he constantly resurrected the Heat from the dead as they took Game 6 in overtime in one of the greatest NBA Finals games ever played.

It's going to take a while to sort through all of the mayhem, and James' status as a choker and world beater on Twitter swung like a metronome throughout the game -- most notably when he lost his headband and turned into the flying death machine. Dwyane Wade's stat line of 14 points on 6-of-15 shooting with four rebounds and four assists isn't going to stand out, but he was awful tonight on both sides of the floor. Mario Chalmers was the team's second best player for most of the game and finished with 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting and four treys, while Chris Bosh's defense picked up down the stretch as he finished with 10 and 11 to go with three steals and two blocks. If Thursday's Game 7 has even half of the excitement of Game 6, the Internet might break.

Duncan's 30 and 17 not enough in Game 6 loss

Tim Duncan scored 25 points in the first half and finished with 30 points and 17 rebounds, but it wasn't enough for the Spurs in their Game 6 overtime loss to the Heat on Tuesday.

The Heat had no answer for Duncan in the first half and the Spurs looked primed to take the title before Duncan and Tony Parker both pooped out down the stretch. Parker finished with 19 points and eight assists, but hit just 6-of-23 shots and despite that his trips to the bench late in overtime will be something reporters (timidly) ask Pop about in the post-game. Kawhi Leonard played great with 22 points, 11 rebounds and three steals, but his missed free throw that could've iced the game will haunt him unless the Spurs pull out Thursday's Game 7. Danny Green finally regressed with a 1-of-7 mark from the field and Manu Ginobili was terrible with eight turnovers.

Dwyane Wade doesn't start second half

Dwyane Wade didn't start the second half of Tuesday's Game 6 for the Heat, but entered the game shortly after the start of the third quarter.

He banged his left knee on the knee of Manu Ginobili early in the first half, and has had issues with his right knee for some time. Either way, he's back in the game and it appears that, barring a setback, he'll be able to finish this game. The Heat announced that the exact nature of the problem won't be revealed until after the game.

Spurs - Heat: Same starters for Game 6

The Spurs and Heat are expected to use the same starting lineups for Tuesday's Game 6 as they did for Game 5.

That means Manu Ginobili is in and Tiago Splitter is out for the Spurs, while Mike Miller gets the nod for the Heat. Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Tim Duncan will round out the starting five for the Spurs, while Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh will start for the Heat. LeBron is actually warming up on the court (instead of in the practice gym) for the big game, which is not something he normally does.

Report: Ben McLemore out of shape at workouts

Sources tell ESPN that Kansas SG Ben McLemore was out of shape in recent workouts for the Suns and Magic.

McLemore reportedly "struggled to keep up." It's not a good look for a player whose assertiveness and motivation was already being questioned thanks to a bunch of passive games in college. McLemore is sliding down boards as the June 27 draft approaches. Chad Ford does have him going fifth to the Suns in his latest Mock.

Alvin Gentry gets second interview with Grizz

Alvin Gentry will have his second interview with the Grizzlies later this week.

The Grizz are expected to complete their search for Lionel Hollins' replacement by the end of the week. Assistant Dave Joeger is considered the front-runner, but Gentry is strongly in the mix. From a fantasy perspective, Gentry is the more desirable candidate as a proponent of free-flowing offense.

Clips killed trade due to financial concerns?

Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski says the Clippers backed out of their trade with the Celtics due in part to financial considerations.

The trade was DeAndre Jordan and two first-round picks for Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers. The Clippers would have had to sign Rivers to a five-year, $35 million contract and paid a $3 million trade kicker on Jordan. The 37-year-old Garnett still has two years and $22.4 million left on his contract. They also were expected to sign Paul Pierce after he reached a buyout with the Celtics. In the end, the money coupled with the Clippers' desire to give up only one first-round pick killed the deal. They're moving forward with Brian Shaw, Byron Scott and Lionel Hollins in their coaching search.

Report: Hawks and Mavs interested in Monta

Sources tell ESPN that the Hawks and Mavericks have interest in impending free agent Monta Ellis.

Ellis has turned down a two-year extension from the Bucks and informed them he will opt out of the $11 million left in the final year of his current contract. The Hawks and Mavs will be tied to virtually every big-name free agent because they have cap space to burn, but both will attack the top tier of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard first. The Lakers also reportedly have interest, but they could only acquire Ellis if he's willing to sign for the mini mid-level exception of $3 million. They simply have no cap room.

Report: Doc Rivers unsure about Boston return

Doc Rivers is uncertain about returning to the Celtics after the deal with the Clippers fell through, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Here we go. The Celtics and Rivers "planned to reach a final resolution in the next few days," sources told Yahoo! The Celtics would welcome Rivers back as head coach, but it's difficult to imagine that could be a realistic scenario after everything that has happened. The Clippers and Celtics have had "no discussions" about rekindling the deal in another format.
