VJ makes it. 🤝 pic.twitter.com/7Dv7QxL9IC — Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) February 25, 2026 FEBRUARY 24 // 6:30 ET Dejounte Murray makes his return tonight The Pelicans former All-Star is back tonight, hoping to recover his peak form. He averaged 15.5 ppg, 6.5 reb and 7.4 ast last season — down from his peak season in 2021-22, when he put up 21.1 ppg, 8.3 reb, 9.2 ast and 2.0 stl with the Spurs. Murray is extraordinarily long for a guard. At his best, he’s a multifaceted threat, capable of locking down on defense while raining jumpers on defense. Check him out with the Pelicans tonight. FEBRUARY 24 // 6:00 ET Two of the top guards in the Association Jalen Brunson does it with strength and footwork, savvily creating space to launch his left-handed jump shot. Donovan Mitchell does it with explosiveness and force, rising up over defenders and catapulting into the lane to get buckets. Two closers. One stage. Brunson: 12th in clutch scoring, 6th in total 2nd half PTS Mitchell: NBA leader in total 4Q PTS and 2nd half PTS When it's winning time these two deliver… tonight, they DUEL 🔥 Knicks-Cavs | 7:30pm/et | Peacock pic.twitter.com/2dWobd206S — NBA (@NBA) February 24, 2026 FEBRUARY 24 // 5:30 ET Welcome to an 11-game night in the NBA!
