LaVine's season is reimbursed!The Great may have surgery, the Timberwolves 4-for-1 were rejected, and the Lakers suspended the Brown trade

Laven officially announced the reimbursement of the season

Chicago Bulls officially announced today that team guard Zach LaVine will undergo surgery on his right foot, and is expected to be out for 4-6 months, with the season reimbursed. LaVine decided to undergo surgery on his right foot after consulting with the Bulls and the agency, announcing his retirement for the season, according to Shams of The Athletic, who will undergo surgery next week and is expected to be out for four to six months.

LaVine is reimbursed for the season, which means that a potential trade about him is officially stranded! He currently has four years and 178 million left on his five-year, $215 million max contract. Originally, the remaining big contract was a major obstacle to LaVine's trade, and now with his season reimbursement, it completely interrupts the possibility of the Bulls trading him on the deadline. LaVine has been in a stop-and-go state this season due to a right foot injury, playing in only 25 games for the Bulls, averaging 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.8 steals per game, shooting 45.2% from the field and 34.9% from three-point range.

Embiid may have surgery

76ers star Joel Embiid has a displaced meniscus flap in his left knee and is currently considering surgery, according to Shams. It is reported that meniscal valve displacement is also considered to be a type of meniscal tear. Embiid is still debating with the 76ers whether to take a break to recover or have surgery. Once surgery is chosen, he will be absent for a longer period of time. But judging from the emperor's past injury history, surgery may be his best choice!

Embiid has missed as many as 13 games so far, and after suffering a major left knee injury, it means that he will be completely out of the race for MVP this season. Because the Emperor will not be able to meet the MVP selection criteria of the minimum 65 regular season games! With the Emperor out of the competition, this also brings Jokic closer to the third MVP trophy of his career, because now he is a rare opponent! So far this season, Embiid has played in 34 games for the 76ers, averaging 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, shooting 53.3% from the field, 36.6% from three-point range, and 88.3% from the free throw line. Unfortunately, his MVP race with Jokic fell through early!

The Timberwolves were rejected 4-for-1

The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have been on a thriving record this season, are firmly in the top two in the West, and although they are currently replaced by the Thunder at the top of the Western Conference, there is no win-loss difference between the two sides, and there is no pressure to regain the first place in the West! Obviously, the Timberwolves are not satisfied with this. As you can see from their recent moves in free agency, the Timberwolves have big ideas this season!

According to well-known reporter Matt Moore, sources revealed that the Timberwolves made a four-round round offer for Wizards guard Tyus Jones, and the Wizards still insisted on at least one round pick. It's worth mentioning that the Lakers are also interested in Teer Jones at the moment. Lakers reporter Trevor Lane suggested that the team make an offer for Vincent + a second-round pick.

The Lakers suspended the Brown trade

As previously reported, the Lakers see Hawks guard Dejounte Murray and Raptors forward Bruce Brown as trade favorites. Previously, the Lakers had made an offer for Dejounte Murray with Russell + Schifino + multiple second-round picks, but was rejected by the Hawks. A trade is hard to happen without a third-party team willing to accept Russell's contract, as the rebuilding Hawks refuse to swallow Russell's remaining big contract.

In the face of the frustration of the Murray trade, the Lakers have now even suspended trade talks for Bruce Brown. According to well-known journalist Matt Moore, multiple sources have revealed that the Lakers have at least suspended trade talks for Raptors forward Bruce Brown. You know, the Lakers were interested in Bruce Brown back last summer. Dejounte Murray trade setback, suspension of Bruce Brown trade negotiations, what are the Lakers going to do?
