By Fred Katz Verified| The Athletic Verified Nikola Jokić could not have known such a small request would change a career. The Denver Nuggets begin each practice with a 10-minute stretch, one that "seems like nothing," third-year wing Christian Braun says, but is more important than it appears. With a team trainer leading the session, each player sprawls out on a pad, readying his body for the day. A younger Braun didn't realize that practice began before these exercises, which he was using as social time.
By Fred Katz Verified| The Athletic Verified Larry Nance Jr. is editing old tweets. The news of a trade that would send him from New Orleans to Atlanta last summer was still incomplete when it hit the public. Nance saw the post on X (formerly Twitter), where a reporter wrote that the Hawks were sending All-Star point guard Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans for Nance and a couple of draft picks. "Now, I'm sitting here like, 'Probably should've mentioned the other guy,'" Nance joked in a recent conversation with The Athletic.
