Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:44 GMT

Jaylen Clark’s Compton Magic AAU basketball team was stacked. The roster was packed to the brim with firepower.Evan Mobley, Onyeka Okongwu, Johnny Juzang, Isaiah Mobley — future Pac-12 stars and NBA players making up one force of a summer squad.Shots clearly weren’t going to be plentiful for Clark. So his father, Cornelius Clark, told Jaylen to play 94 feet of defense on every possession.“‘Nobody in AAU plays defense 94 feet, Jaylen,’” Cornelius recalled to the Los Angeles Times. “‘On that team, you’re never going to see the floor. You’re on the team, but you’re not going to play because they don’t need you, you’re the youngest kid and they’ve got all kinds of firepower.’”So Clark put all his energy into the defensive end, a philosophy that he has maintained for the past five years. And that decision has served Clark well, earning the wing player National Defensive Player of the Year honors this past season at UCLA. It’s also what got Clark drafted by the Timberwolves with the No. 5...

But the Avs wouldn’t have made the trade with Nashville on Saturday without knowing Johansen’s recovery status was on steady pace. On Monday morning, Johansen confirmed it was.“I’d say I’m super close to 100% now,” he told reporters. “And hopefully it’ll be by August, I think, just full-on normal.”He was initially assessed a 12-week timeline by the Predators in late February.
