Nobody Cares That Jabari Smith Jr. Is Out 4-6 Weeks



Eyewitnesses attest that Jabari Smith Jr. may have
been carried off in a stretcher such as this one.
CHICAGO, IL - Bulls forward Jabari Smith Jr. seemed dejected after Chicago's emphatic win over the Rockets yesterday afternoon.

"It's like they all forgot about me," he could be heard wailing in the Bulls locker room as the facility shut down for the night.

Smith suffered a fracture seven minutes into the game against Houston, which is set to sideline him up to six weeks during a critical time for the Bulls to establish themselves in the East. In another game, mere moments after Smith was helped off the floor, Atlanta Hawks guard Cade Cunningham sprained his ankle on a closeout against the Trail Blazers, and also expects a long timetable to return. 

Unfortunately for Smith, while Cunningham's injury sent murmurs through the league and sparked snide comments and well-wishes alike from millions of people, no news outlet or insider even mentioned Smith's injury until NBN Today did, well, today.

The Bulls young self-proclaimed budding superstar noted that even his own teammates and medical staff were only talking about Cunningham's ankle on the sidelines and in the locker room after the game. Smith believed he saw owner Chitownloyalty coming over to console him later that afternoon, but it turned out he was actually trying to hug the Michael Jordan statue behind him. 

"It's good luck to hug Michael," the longtime owner explained later to NBN Today. "When someone with so much potential and skill gets injured, you need to send them all the energy you have. My condolences go out to Cade and his family." 

Before leaving, he told Smith to also hug the statue "out of respect" and that if he didn't, he wouldn't be starting in tomorrow's game against the Pistons.

"I'm a young star, too, you know," Jabari said on an Instagram broadcast last night to twelve viewers. "I play a huge role for this up-and-coming Bulls team and sometimes it feels like it's just about the other guys."

As of noon Eastern time today, Cade Cunningham's injury has four reactions on #injury-report, including a broken heart emoji. Jabari Smith's injury has no reactions.

Not Chris 2025 NBN Mock Draft

Welcome to my 2025 NBN Mock Draft, which will definitely be outdated by the time I publish it! Not projecting any trades because teams are crazy and too hard to predict. TLDR at bottom.  1. Houston Rockets - Cooper Flagg, F, Duke No brainer here. Flagg is by far the best player in this draft, and one of the best prospects we’ve seen in the last 10 years. Houston’s tank paid off, and they get a do-it-all forward with a Jordan-esque competitive drive to build around.  2. Charlotte Hornets - Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers Charlotte pulled a stunner earlier this week, trading picks 5, 6, and Zach Edey to Dallas for the #2 pick, where they will likely select Dylan Harper. Harper is a 6’6 intelligent guard with All-Star upside. He will pair nicely with Paolo Banchero as another dynamic playmaker with scoring punch, this time with more shooting upside. This move signals Charlotte’s intent to move off All-Star LaMelo Ball (who they sneakily gave up a lot for; Stephon Castle, Nik...

Confused Wolves Players Arrive in LA to Find RJ Playing Ancient Chinese Instrument Atop Crypto.com Arena

LOS ANGELES - The Wolves team bus pulled into an empty Crypto.com Arena parking lot this morning in anticipation of their 9/10-seed Play-In matchup. However, players and coaches deboarding the bus were shocked to find the entire lot completely empty and silent, with the exception of the faint sounds of ancient Chinese songs being played on a guqin .  The confused group soon located the source of the sound; Lakers owner RJ could be seen seated on the arena's rooftop, engrossed in his performance. "It was unsettling, to be honest," admitted Timberwolves star Domantas Sabonis. "RJ is a smart and cunning owner, and seeing his relaxed composure as he played beautiful Chinese traditional music made it clear to us that the Lakers were more than prepared to challenge us." RJ's bluff was also made more compelling due to the Lakers' inexplicable free agency signings leading up to the play-in. "We noticed, and [RJ] knows it, too," said Wolves owner Jonny....
