We break down a chaotic week across the NBA, starting with the Dallas Mavericks’ early-season struggles and what’s really holding them back.

Then we highlight several surprising performances from role players and rising stars who’ve caught our attention. After that, we dive into the never-ending storyline of Ja Morant’s off-court drama, how it continues to affect Memphis, and what it means for his long-term future. To wrap things up, we discuss LaMelo Ball’s latest injury concerns and whether the Hornets can realistically build around a player who just can’t stay on the court.
