THE BIGGEST STORIES OF THE WEEK:

1) Collins suffered a head contusion after getting posterized by the Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards on Monday but cleared concussion protocols and logged a limited practice Tuesday.

2) It's Lakers history. On Friday, Russell's first 3-pointer against the Philadelphia 76ers gave him 184 for the season. That broke a tie with Nick Van Exel for the most any Laker has ever made in a single season.

3) DeMarcus Cousins, a four-time NBA All-Star, has inked a month-and-a-half deal to rejoin the Taiwan Beer Leopards.

4) Donovan Mitchell has surgery to repair nasal fracture, out at least a week.

5) The Dallas Mavericks have gone the extra mile to accommodate star Kyrie Irving as he observes Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month but also presents a challenge to Muslim athletes around the world as they're required to fast from dawn to sunset every day.

6) Ausar Thompson will miss the rest of the 2024 season with a blood clot.

7) Somak Sarkar was terminated as a coaching analyst by the Timberwolves last month after he was found to have taken an external hard drive that belonged to another Timberwolves employee.
