Every NBA season brings surprise and drama. The 2022-23 campaign will be no different.

Meanwhile, LeBron James' future will be one of the biggest questions across the NBA, as he enters the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in a season in which he is projected to break the league's all-time scoring record.
