NBA Midweek Results & League Governance

The Boston Celtics handed the Oklahoma City Thunder their first defeat in a month Wednesday, prevailing 119-109 as Jaylen Brown tallied 14 of his 31 points during a decisive third quarter run. Elsewhere, the Philadelphia 76ers secured a victory over the Chicago Bulls, powered by Joel Embiid’s 35-point return from injury and Paul George’s 28-point performance in his first game back after serving a 25-game suspension. These high-stakes matchups occurred as Commissioner Adam Silver declared that combating tanking is the league’s paramount focus, signaling fundamental overhauls to the draft system to curb strategic losing. In a minor off-court interaction, LeBron James visited rapper J. Cole, bringing along a copy of the artist's "The Fall-Off" vinyl for an autograph signing while meeting Cole’s children.
