Determined to prove that their Light The Beam 2022-23 season was no fluke, the Sacramento Kings began the season on fire with a decimation of the Utah Jazz in their season-opener.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have done nothing but get better during the 2023-24 NBA season.

In the lead-up to the 2023 NBA Draft, some analysts questioned whether Ausar Thompson’s (and his brother Amen’s, for that matter) production in the Overtime Elite league will translate to the NBA.
