Austin and Pausha are back and dive straight into injuries plaguing the league, with an emphasis on the Pelicans—who are missing a staggering eight players due to injuries (1:44). Then, they revisit a previous statement that Nikola Jokic will go down as one of the Top 10 players to ever play, and discuss where Denver ranks among contenders and why Jamal Murray is key to the Nuggets' success in the post (8:00).

Then, they raise the alarms for the 76ers after news of the tense team meeting was leaked (31:25). They talk through the lack of leadership on the team and where they need to improve, and Austin shares why Chris Paul will go down as his favorite leader to play alongside (40:06).

Later, they hit on Shedeur Sanders playing for his father, Deion Sanders, and compare it to what it was like with Austin playing for his dad on the Clippers (47:45). Then, they quickly hit on Dalton Knecht and his stellar play lately for the Lakers (51:52).
