The Hawks' All-Star point guard has found himself embroiled in rumor after rumor ever since the two failed to find common ground on an extension to his current contract, set to expire after the 2026-2027 season.

All eyes in the NBA were on OKC for a back-to-back this past week. The Oklahoma City Thunder have looked every part of a reigning NBA champion that has its eyes set on back-to-back titles. They have the league's best record and point differential once again.

The narrative that the Thunder gets special treatment from officials didn't follow the script in its loss to Minnesota, but OKC isn’t complaining.

Alexander, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic, but one name that often slips under the radar because of their sheer grandeur is Tyrese Maxey.
