Stephen A. Smith lashes out at Nikola Jokic after the Nuggets star told fans who booed the team at Ball Arena that they’re “not welcome.” Jokic made the remark following a 35-point triple‑double in an overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans, as Denver eyes a return to the NBA Finals and a potential $300 million‑plus extension. Smith condemned the comment on his radio show, saying fans have a right to boo and that Jokic should focus on revenue and team success.

Jalen Williams' severe ankle injury on Oct. 26 likely ends his season, leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder scrambling for a replacement. Analyst Sean Deveney cites New Orleans' Herb Jones—who saw his minutes drop from 28.4 to 17 per game and is averaging 3.3 points this season—as a possible trade target. Jones offers elite perimeter defense but limited scoring, and the Pelicans have resisted trading him previously. While some league execs say OKC isn’t panicking, the injury could accelerate trade talks, especially as the Thunder sit 3‑0 early. The piece also notes Williams' injury history, including wrist surgery and hamstring issues last season.
