Back to another episode of Paper Route. I'm Corey Holmes and joining me today is Ashley Nicole Moss and Brandon Marshall. How are we doing today?

What's up, happy Thursday.

Happy Thursday. I'm ready for another day for everyone to listen to me and tell me that my takes are better than Ashley's takes course.

So I'm excited about this beautiful Thursday on Paper Route. And I'm sitting here in beautiful sunny Los Angeles. It's early over here guys.

Yeah, man. I'm excited to let's get to it, huh? So former NBA star Sean Camp was booked last night in a lead drive by shooting. We'll dive into that situation a little bit later.

We'll also preview a few big NBA games scheduled for tonight. And we got to give you our two cents with the JJ Reddick and Kendrick Perkins situation over on first take.

But first, man, it was supposed to be Kevin Durant's debut home game last night. But Phoenix Suns fans instead got a dominant performance from Devon Booker, right?

Stargard scored 44 points in last night's win. But I want to show you guys what happened in warmups, man. It was a crazy situation with KD. Let's look at it.

What happened? Did he roll it lay up? Yeah, so so KD KD was I was I was under a rock last night. What happened with KD? I wasn't on social media.

It was crazy, man. So he we doing warmups, right? Like layup lines and he turns his ankle. He turns his ankle going up for a layup.

So, you know, according to reports, I mean, it's looking like now he's going to be out four to six weeks. They said that he was given a grade two ankle sprain.

But last night, though, Booker, I mean, like I said, he went off. He went 17 for 23 from the field, six to 10 from three and did that in only 28 minutes.

He had 30 points in the first half. But the star admitted, you know, that it was a bummer not having KD on the floor. This is what he said in a post game interview.

He said, the city's been waiting for this. It was a big day. We'll just have to reschedule the party. The people that missed out on it tonight, I tried to give them a little something to make it better.

He definitely definitely did. Yeah, and his teammates Terrence Ross and Chris Paul added an extra 24 and 18 points respectively.

Chris Paul was actually six from eight from the field and had nine assists. But I mean, it looks like the sons, you know, where they were heating up and building steam and whatnot.

But, you know, like I mentioned, Katie might be out four to six weeks. So I actually like this is a game changer. What are your thoughts on this?

Yeah, I mean, listen, with Kevin Durant being out, obviously, the sons will be able to stay afloat. There's less than 20 games left in the regular season. We keep saying that where they were kind of in the crunch.

The only issue is is when you start getting into the playoffs right because the sons have notoriously had issues going into the playoffs for one reason or another.

It seems the tandem of Chris Paul and Devon Booker neither one of them can stay healthy when it seems to be necessary.

And when I say neither one of them, I mean more of Chris Paul than I do Devon Booker. But listen, I think I don't think it's as severe as it may have looked.

They did say the reports did say that he was able to work out afterwards. So that is something to go ahead and be optimistic about. But I will say this, you know, it's.
