The Mercury's Do This, Do That: Your Top Events for February 9-15

The Blazers hit a rough patch at the end of January, into February. Perhaps this past weekend's return of sophomore phenom Scoot Henderson will bring about a welcome change. That, and Deni Avdija unplugging for a week to heal his ailing back, completely ignorant to any glowing endorsements received from genocidal world leaders (god this has been a rugged season to be a Blazer fan).

After landing four-time All-Star Trae Young and future Hall of Famer Anthony Davis in two of the biggest blockbuster trades ahead of the NBA trade deadline, Washington has made it clear that they have a desire to compete sooner rather than later. However, throughout the team's series of moves ahead of the deadline, Washington found themselves landing several new additions, which alone gave the team a series of roster decisions to make over the last couple days.

Zubac's Pacers debut on hold until ankle heals, Carlisle says

MILWAUKEE -- Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said new center Ivica Zubac's debut with the team could be delayed because he is currently on paternity leave and because of an ankle injury Carlisle said Zubac has been playing through since December. "It's kind of yo-yo'd a little bit," Carlisle said before Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. "My understanding from talking to him is that there's still something there that's not quite right. We're not going to put him out there until he's really ready."

Raptors avoided the Domantas Sabonis disaster that would have gutted their future

I have no intention of slamming Domantas Sabonis. I completely acknowledge that he's a former three-time All-Star, two appearances on the All-NBA Third Team, and a two-time league rebounding leader (something the Raps could desperately use). When healthy and in a system that maximizes his skillset, he can look like one of the league's most dynamic bigs. But at the same time, Sabonis can prove to be a defensive pitfall for his team, and he's earning a substantial salary over the next three seasons.
