Kawhi Leonard Is Putting the Fear of the Basketball Gods in the Denver Nuggets

I went to Dallas for Luka's first game back, and came away wondering if anyone involved or invested in the trade will ever find closure: theringer.com/2025/04/10/n...
Catharsis and Contradiction in Luka’s Return to Dallas
Tears. Stepback 3s. “Fire Nico” chants. No. 77 Lakers jerseys and “Thanks for everything” tees. Doncic’s homecoming was a truly powerful night of basketball that never should have happened.

It’s admittedly strange to watch a 7-foot-4 center fire away from deep. But after Victor Wembanyama’s 50-point outburst against the Wizards, it’s hard to argue with the process.
