NBA teams have until Thursday to pursue South Sudan star Carlik Jones

Detroit, MI

In the 2024-25 season, several players on the Detroit Pistons have something to prove, but none more so than Jaden Ivey. Drafted 5th in 2022, Ivey was expected to be a key player alongside Cade Cunningham, the 1st pick in 2021. Fans envisioned a dynamic backcourt duo that could revive the Pistons’ fortunes. However, two seasons in, concerns have overshadowed initial excitement. Some argue that the organization should trade Ivey while his value remains high, acquiring future assets in return. Some claim the sample size is too tiny, and Ivey hasn’t had enough chance to prove himself with Cunningham. With a new coaching staff and a supportive President, Trajan Langdon, Ivey has a pivotal season ahead to showcase his potential.

Everyone has been astounded by South Sudan’s ability to compete fiercely against the most successful squad in international play. South Sudan came dangerously close to winning in a friendly matchup with Team USA, but LeBron James’ outstanding play helped Team USA win 101–100. James finished with 25 points, six rebounds, and seven assists. However, soon after the game, former NBA player Paul Pierce made some jokes about the height of the South Sudan players, which led to heavy criticism from the fans. However, the ten-time NBA All-Star recently apologized for his statement. During a recent episode of Undisputed, Pierce apologized for his previous unnecessary comments on South Sudan after their near upset against Team USA.
