The Atlanta Hawks spent several hours interviewing Tommy Sheppard for their general manager position this week.

Sheppard is a longtime executive of the Washington Wizards working under Ernie Grunfeld.

Sheppard was previously with the Denver Nuggets in the 1990s.

Tony Ressler and Grant Hill have been conducting meetings with candidates.

Russell Westbrook, James Harden, John Wall and Stephen Curry will be eligible for the Designated Player Veteran Extension in July.

All four players were named to the All-NBA Teams for the 16-17 season.

Curry can sign the supermax contract as a free agent. Curry was already eligible for the contract due to winning MVP in two of the past three seasons.

Paul George and Gordon Hayward are not eligible for the rule.

Kawhi Leonard is now eligible to sign the Designated Player Veteran Extension in 2018.

Kelly Oubre Jr. plans to undergo platelet-rich plasma injections in his right knee.

Oubre will be able to return to basketball activities in two weeks.

Oubre had an MRI last week and no structural damage was revealed.

"I definitely have to look into that and see what procedures have to be done," he said after Tuesday's exit interviews, "but for right now I have no clue. I was just going out there and playing for my team."

The Last Two Minute Report indicated that the Boston Celtics should have had an extra second on the clock to run a final play in their loss to the Washington Wizards in Game 6.

John Wall hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds to go and, with a foul to give.

Isaiah Thomas missed an off-balance three-pointer that would have won the game for the Celtics.

The league also noted: "Instant replay is not permitted in this situation."

The Boston Celtics showed up for Game 6 wearing all black for the "funeral" of the Washington Wizards but John Wall extended the series with his clutch three-pointer.

In January, the Wizards showed up to Verizon Center wearing all black for a rivalry game against the Celtics and won the game.

“They just tryna be like us, they just want to be us so bad, man,” Markieff Morris said. “They can’t. There’s only one Death Row DC, and they can’t do it like we can do it.”

Brad Stevens didn't want to engage on the topic before the game when asked.

“They don’t consult me on fashion, surprisingly. Nor do I get the memo,” said Stevens.

Kelly Oubre has been suspended by the NBA for Game 4.

After being hit by an illegal screen from Olynyk early in the second quarter Thursday, Oubre charged at Olynyk and knocked him to the ground and put his forearm in his chest.

Oubre was assessed a flagrant 2 and ejected.

Oubre said Friday that he retaliated against Olynyk because he had been hit repeatedly by him.

"I've been hit in the head multiple times by the same person," Oubre told reporters. "I've confronted [Olynyk] about it. The last time it happened, I fell, I felt pain in my head and my jaw, and I got up and I ran to him and I bumped him."

Gerald Green had sharp words for the Washington Wizards following the Boston Celtics' Game 3 loss that was feisty and one-sided.

Kelly Oubre was ejected when he shoved Kelly Olynyk to the floor in the second quarter following a hard screen.

“We’re gonna beat their ass in Game 4,” Green said.

Green started in Game 3 after not playing in Game 2.

Kelly Oubre Jr. was ejected during the second quarter of Game 3 when he charged Kelly Olynyk following a hard screen.

Oubre was knocked down by Olynyk and then went after Olynyk, who was complaining to a referee about the foul call. 

Oubre was assessed a flagrant-2.

Markieff Morris said he will play in Game 2 despite spraining his ankle badly in Game 1.

“I’m playing tomorrow. It’s final,” Morris said with conviction Monday afternoon. “There’s nothing the doctors can say to me for me not to be able to play.”

Morris landed on the foot of Al Horford after attempting a jump shot.

Morris was asked if he felt Horford undercut him.

“I’m not sure. I’m [going to] ask him though.”

“I’ve looked at it a couple times,” Morris said about the replay of the injury. “It’s not really that pretty so, couldn’t really watch it too much.”
