QUOTABLE
Heat forward Jaime Jaquez on his sister, Gabriela, leading the UCLA Bruins to the national title: "Amazing, a once in a lifetime opportunity. It's not every single day your sister gets to play in the national championship, let alone for your alma mater. So just really happy she was able to carry this legacy and continue to grow."
Raptors player Collin Murray-Boyles on his expanded role: “[I’m] just being versatile in the sense of me being able to play with everybody. That’s the biggest thing. So I can be on the court with [Poeltl], to make me as usable as possible.”
