League Alerts Fam,

Welcome to the first edition of The Shot Clock Reset presented by LeagueAlerts! Every week, we reset your week as we reset the shot clock to 14. Scroll below as we curate the 14 most important stories from the NBA and basketball culture—packed into one quick email. Let’s get started:

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO:

THE BIGGEST STORIES OF THE WEEK:

1) Jalen Brunson suffers left hand fracture in Sunday's Game 7 in New York, as the Knicks fall to the Pacers.

2) Josh Hart suffered an abdominal injury in the first half, tried to battle through but unfortunately had to leave early in the fourth.

3) LeBron James won't leave the Lakers if another team drafts Bronny James. Although most people expect LeBron James to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers, even though he will likely opt out of his contract this summer, the question is if there would be a price to pay for L.A.

4) The Lakers reportedly were engaged in talks with the Raptors about Brown during last season's trade deadline, but the asking price was too high. Now armed with multiple first-round picks this summer, the Lakers could perhaps circle back to the Raptors if there is still interest.
