Alexander, an offensive guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, has the potential to become the most expensive player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This was reported by analyst and insider Bobby Marks on social media.

Jayson Tatum’s torn right Achilles cast a pall over the second round. Tatum collapsed to the ground in the fourth quarter of the Celtics’ Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks and had to be carried off the court after he was writhing in pain and grabbing at the back of his ankle.

Boston was eliminated from the NBA playoffs two games after its best player went down. It must take a longer view while he recovers.
