For those that missed yesterday’s post, these daily stories are evolving again. The goal is for this to become the hub for daily happening of Illinois natives in the pros whether it is NBA, G-League, overseas, and of course, the WNBA.
There will be some days with lots to discuss, others very little. And some days, things might slip by and theyll get missed. If you notice anything, email me (xaviersanchez1997@gmail.com) or tag me on social media across any of my accounts.
November 21 was one of the slower news days.

Unfortunately, Davis’ big night was spoiled as he missed three free throws in the final 27 seconds. Los Angeles Lakers would go on to lose by one point to the Orlando Magic.
