Basketball news broke across multiple leagues and locations, ranging from a major NBA trade to injuries and criminal cases. In Charlotte, North Carolina, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that the Charlotte Hornets agreed to trade LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid plus a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps in 2028, 2029 and 2030, and three future second-round picks in 2029, 2032 and 2033. The deal was pending league approval and ESPN had first reported it. Separately, in Tampa, Florida, Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold was arrested and accused by prosecutors of being the ringleader in a Florida kidnapping and armed robbery; Tampa police said three teenagers were held at gunpoint on Feb. 4. Other updates included the NBA draft resuming in New York, and Caitlin Clark leaving the Fever’s loss to Phoenix with a back injury in the third quarter.
