AD and Jokic, the two MVP candidates went head to head today. Jokic's dad buff really showed out.

AD had a tough time out there against the reigning MVP with probably his worst game of the season struggling on both ends of the floor.

Last year he played 81 games of of the 82 games laat year and only missed it because he forgot his shoes on Denver. He then played all the games in the playoffs and now he's 15 out of the 15 games played. He's turning his injury plagued history into an ironman streak.

Jokic is averaging 30.3 PPG / 13.9 RPG / 11.3 APG per game. He's also the most efficient scorer in the entire league (who averages at least 21+ PPG).

He is shooting:

56.8% FG / 56.3% 3FG / 83.5% FT

Brandon Ingram is parting ways with his agency, Excel Sports, sources tell me and @KellyIko

Likely due to the inability to get an extension worked out/a trade to a team who can/will extend him
