NBA schedule: LeBron James scores 42 to lead Heat over Mavericks

And goodness, LeBron ...

And why stop there?

Get up or get out the way, Mr. Faried.

Kevin Grow, a senior at Bensalem High School in Pennsylvania, drew national attention with a scoring explosion in a recent game. Grow, who has Down syndrome and serves as the team’s manager, was called upon at the end of Bensalem’s season and broke out for 14 points, including four three-pointers down the stretch of the final game.

Inspired by the performance, the 76ers invited Grow to their practice facility to receive a personalized jersey and sign a ceremonial two-day contract. He’s with them Tuesday night for their game against the Cavaliers, invited to hang out with the team in the locker room and during warm-ups, join the high-five line, then watch the game with his varsity team and take the floor for a special presentation.

The sharpshooter most recently suffered a hip injury that’s kept him out of action for the past four games and is dealing with lingering ailments to his back and shoulder. Despite the most recent injury being a hip ailment, the greatest concern is his back. The Clippers are being cautious with him in order to ensure he’s fully healthy for the playoffs.

With the trade deadline looming on Thursday, the development adds to Los Angeles’ urgency to add another player to replace him as it prepares for a potential postseason run.
