As the regular season and certain playoff rounds come to a close, there are a myriad of offseason, playoffs, and draft news to cover. That is why I will publish a weekly piece called “News across the NBA.” The intention is to outline and briefly describe important NBA stories during a certain week.
This week’s storylines consist of more devasting injury news, head coaching hires, updates on the two conference finals series, the NBA Draft Lottery, and the USA Olympic team.

The narrative behind the 2021 NBA Playoffs is unfortunately shaped by constant injury news.
