Sean Highkin: Media doesn't get to watch practice so take this for what it is, but if there's one player that Chauncey Billups and other players have singled out as having a really good camp so far, it's Shaedon Sharpe. x.com | Oct. 1, 2025

Michael Porter Jr: Mike Malone—me and him had a love-hate relationship. And if someone asked him on a podcast, he’d say the same thing. In my early years, we got into it a couple times. He was really hard on me and made me earn my place on that team. He was like a real old-school coach. Not a players' coach who's trying to be cool with everyone— He was going to be hard on you. I think the NBA started trending toward players' coaches— Guys like Chauncey Billups, Steve Nash. And players started noticing how different those relationships were. So I don’t really know what specifically got him fired. I just know I respect him for giving me an opportunity. YouTube | Sep. 24, 2025
