CJ McCollum on Raptors: I think in terms of what they need or what they’re lacking, something’s gonna happen – I don’t know what. There’s rumblings about certain players on the team not being happy and due to tampering, I can’t speak to that but I think they’re gonna move someone.

CJ McCollum will be in Salt Lake City for All-Star Weekend. The NBPA president has meetings. He doesn’t know if the trip will serve a dual purpose. If it does, great. If not, well… nola.com/sports/pelican… – 9:22 AM

Damian Lillard recorded his 12th career game of 35 pts, 10 asts, 5 rebs. Clyde (6), McCollum (2), Porter & Strickland are the other Blazers to do it. – 1:07 AM

Pretty strong half from the Pels other than their defense against Bojan Bogdanovic (18 pts). If they limit Detroit’s fastbreak opportunities, they should maintain control. – 8:10 PM

More on this storyline
Jim Eichenhofer: CJ McCollum on being a DNP (rest) at Dallas two days ago: “I don’t like taking games off, but I needed it. I was starting to feel a little rugged, a little tired, and that’s when injuries occur. Obviously my load has shifted a little bit with B.I. and Zion being out.” -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer / January 10, 2023
Jim Eichenhofer: CJ McCollum on one piece of #Pelicans success: “Our bench has been very helpful for us. Their plus-minus has been great. That’s a sign of a really good team, when you have the depth that when you have injuries, you can still pull off wins like we have.” -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer / January 10, 2023
New Orleans: CJ McCollum (rest) has been upgraded to available for Monday’s game against Washington. Larry Nance Jr (right shoulder soreness) is probable. -via HoopsHype / January 8, 2023
