De'Aaron Fox and Terry Rozier have been named the NBA's Players of the Week for Week 14.

Fox averaged 36.8 points and 5.5 assists as the Sacramento Kings went 4-0.

Rozier averaged 24.3 points, 5.5 assists and 5.3 rebounds as the Charlotte Hornets went 3-1.

The Charlotte Hornets have grown somewhat optimistic LaMelo Ball could return from his broken wrist before the end of the season.

The prognosis post-surgery was that Ball would be re-evaluated in four weeks, which is approximately April 20. 

“We don’t know if LaMelo is out for the season or not,” Mitch Kupchak said in a conference call with Charlotte media Friday morning. “There is a possibility (of Ball playing again), just based on other players who have had this injury, that maybe he does come back for some portion of the year.”

Kupchak emphasized the team would do nothing to jeopardize Ball’s future for short-term gain.

“You do have to think it through” when Ball would be healed enough to safely play, Kupchak said. “The one thing we know we’re not going to do in any event is put his health in jeopardy.

“If we get to the end of the (regular season), and we’re in a playoff hunt, and he’s not quite ready — (where) we feel we could get him back on the court and push it — we won’t do that.”

Andre Drummond will meet with the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, and Charlotte Hornets, sources told Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports.

Drummond and the Cavs are expected to agree to a buyout after the team was unable to find a trade partner at the deadline. 

The Charlotte Hornets have agreed to acquire Brad Wanamaker from the Golden State Warriors.

Wanamaker signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Warriors in the offseason.

LaMelo Ball underwent successful surgery to repair his fractured right wrist on Tuesday.

Ball will likely miss the remainder of the season. Ball will have a four-week recovery before he can began rehab.

Ball was averaging 15.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.59 steals per game in 41 games.

LaMelo Ball fractured his right wrist and is expected to miss the rest of the season, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Ball is seeking a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis.

Ball is averaging 15.9 points, 6.1 assists, and 5.9 rebounds on the season. 

The Golden State Warriors selected James Wiseman at No. 2, which has already become a scrutinized due to the emergence of LaMelo Ball. But the Warriors could have even selected Anthony Edwards over Ball. All three rookies have shown glimpses of star potential though Ball has separated himself this season.

"They really believe in James Wiseman," said Ramona Shelburne on The Hoop Collective Podcast. "They think he's going to become a future All-Star. They think he's going to be a future pillar of the franchise.

"I checked... there was a storyline out there that LaMelo Ball thought they were going to pick him at two. Everything I've been told is that that's a miscommunication or something was wrong there."

"As far as I know, they were laser focused [on Wiseman]," replied Brian Windhorst.

"A very good source told me they would have picked James Wiseman No. 1 if they had the pick. He was the highest on their board. They never wavered on that. If Minnesota would have taken Wiseman one, the Warriors would have taken Anthony Edwards at No. 2.

"I think some of the issue with LaMelo is... They really liked LaMelo. They were really high on him. I don't know if they were as bullish on the fit with Stephen Curry. And at the time, remember, most of the time they were seeing him Klay Thompson was still okay."

The Los Angeles Clippers are in clear need of a point guard and that need has been telegraphed on the trade market.

The Clippers continue to have strong internal interest in Terry Rozier, while Ricky Rubio and George Hill are other options.

The Clippers have limited draft capital to attach to matching salaries in any scenario.

The Indiana Pacers discussed Myles Turner trade scenarios with at least the Boston Celtics in the offseason and they have received interest from a number of teams ahead of next Thursday's deadline.

The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans have each expressed interest in Turner.

The Hornets, who eventually acquired Hayward, have had interest in Turner for the better part of a year. Charlotte took Frank Kaminsky two spots ahead of Turner in 2015.

Turner is in the second season of a deal that pays him $18 million annually flat. 

The future of Turner with the Pacers is unclear as he shares a frontcourt with Domantas Sabonis.

Sources also tell the Indianapolis Star that the Pacers are not shopping Turner.

The Orlando Magic have received interest from a number of teams on Nikola Vucevic.

Vucevic was an All-Star again in 2021 and has two more seasons remaining on his contract. The Magic are widely believed to prefer to keep Vucevic unless they are overwhelmed with an offer.

The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets have each expressed "significant interest" in Vucevic, sources tell Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer.
