On January 10, 2025, the NBA announced three major explosive news:
-
Extreme Tug-of-War: Butler has made it clear to all NBA teams that he will only sign a new contract with one team, and that is the Suns. However, it's not that easy to operate. Beal returned to the bench and performed unsatisfactorily. In an interview, he also clearly stated that he did not want to leave the Suns. He has the right to veto the trade. If he does not give up, everything will be in vain. The toughest Butler in the league met with the stubborn Beal. Who will compromise first? It is estimated that this situation will continue until the trade deadline.
-
All-Star: The NBA officially announced the second round of voting results for the 2025 All-Star Game. Antetokounmpo received 2,721,339 votes and continued to dominate the top spot. Jokic led the West with 2,277,723 votes. Durant received 1,983,680 votes, James received 1,981,529 votes, and Curry received 1,369,365 votes. Due to the impact of injuries, Embiid and George have gradually fallen behind in the voting. Doncic was also overtaken by host Curry. Hardworking Harden only received 453,898 votes and ranked sixth in the Western Conference backcourt. According to the current situation, it is difficult to enter the All-Star Game.

Magic's star player Banchero will return in the game against the Bucks on Friday. He had been out for more than two months due to injury. The current Magic is full of injured players, and the team's record fluctuates greatly. They have achieved a record of 22 wins and 16 losses, ranking fourth in the West, which is quite remarkable. At this time, his return undoubtedly gives the team a reassurance. He should slowly find his form without rushing to perform, and maintaining health is the key.
