    Bam Adebayo left Miami’s play-in game against Charlotte in the second quarter and did not return after a hard fall injured his back. The incident followed contact with LaMelo Ball and became a major talking point after the game. Ball grabbed at Adebayo’s ankle during the sequence, causing him to fall hard on his backside.

    Tyrese Haliburton says shingles, not his torn Achilles recovery, is now the biggest issue he must overcome this offseason. He said the illness caused nerve pain, weight gain, swelling and partial eyebrow loss, even though his Achilles rehab itself is tracking well. Haliburton told reporters he is ready from the leg-injury side but shingles delayed his return to five-on-five work until last week. He said the illness has brought more day-to-day suffering than expected, though he remains confident he will be ready after a full summer of work.

    Mikal Bridges extended the NBA’s longest active consecutive-games streak to 638 by playing 23 seconds against Charlotte. The brief appearance moved him further up the all-time list and preserved one of the league’s rarest durability records in the load-management era. Knicks coach Mike Brown started Bridges solely to keep the streak alive, then substituted him out after an intentional foul stopped play. New York had already locked up the East’s No. 3 seed, so the move was purely about preserving the run rather than game strategy.

    April 2026

    Nikola Jokic is set to become the first player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists per game and rebounds per game over a single season. That would add another historic layer to his MVP case as Denver carry momentum into the playoffs. Jokic is tracking toward the unprecedented combination of 10.9 assists and 12.9 rebounds per game. The feat recalls Wilt Chamberlain’s 1967-68 totals-based achievement, but Jokic will be the first to top both categories by per-game average in the modern statistical framing.

    Toronto have kept control of their playoff push with back-to-back strong wins over Miami, first by 26 points and then again to move closer to a top-six finish. The Raptors are showing maturity at the right time, with Brandon Ingram finding rhythm before the postseason. Toronto beat Miami 121-95 on Tuesday and had already strengthened their top-six chase with a 128-96 win over Memphis. The larger point from the report you pasted is that the Raptors are handling pressure professionally, and the verified recent results support that trend even if the exact Thursday score details were not confirmed in the sources I checked.
