THE BIGGEST STORIES OF THE WEEK:

1) After 16 seasons, Rajon Rondo officially announced his NBA retirement. Rondo, who last played in the 2021-22 season, appeared on the “All the Smoke” podcast and responded quickly when asked if his NBA career is over. “Absolutely,”

2) Kevin Porter Jr. made his debut in Greece with PAOK mateco. However, it wasn't a very successful one. Porter Jr.'s decision to sign with a club in Greece was an unexpected move that attracted significant attention to both the player, who's been out of the NBA since the start of the season, and PAOK.

3) James said his time was near. "I'm not gonna play another 21 years, that's for damn sure. But not very long," said James. "I don't know when that door will close as far as when I'll retire.

4) We could see a 2v2 matchup next year between Klay and Caitlin Clark per shams."At this point Stephen Curry versus Sabrina Ionescu is very likely for next year...I'm told with Caitlin Clark and potentially Klay Thompson to make it 2v2."

5) Julius Randle will have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder.

6) Bronny James announced Friday morning he plans to enter the NBA draft and the transfer portal, leaving open both options for next season.

7) The Washington Wizards announced today that they have signed guard Jared Butler to a multi-year NBA contract.
