Stein adds that Dallas has targeted the 32-year-old Walker in hopes he can help address its needs for both increased perimeter shooting and additional ballhandling off the bench. The team will need to create a roster spot and will likely do that by waiving&nbsp;Facundo Campazzo.&nbsp;
The New York Knicks traded Walker to the Detroit Pistons this past June as part of a deal to acquire the draft rights to No. 13 overall pick Jalen Duren. The Pistons never planned on playing him and waived Walker right before the season, eating his guaranteed $9.2 million salary for this season.

Irving is serving a minimum five-game suspension for refusing to say he had no antisemitic beliefs after linking to a film on social media that was filled with antisemitic material.
Irving apologized after he was suspended by the Nets and has met with Nets owner Joe Tsai and commissioner Adam Silver individually.
NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35041820/sources-kyrie-irving-rejoin-nets-soon-sunday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told ESPN that Irving</a> "is continuing his journey of dialogue and education".
"He has been grappling with the full weight of the impact of his voice and actions, particularly in the Jewish community. Kyrie rejects antisemitism in any form, and he's dedicated to bettering himself and increasing his level of understanding. He plans to continue this journey well into the future to ensure that his words and actions align with his pursuit of truth and knowledge."
Irving will miss his eighth consecutive game on Thursday night when the Nets face the Portland Trail Blazers.

NEW YORK &ndash; NBA Commissioner Adam Silver today issued the following statement:
&ldquo;Kyrie Irving made a reckless decision to post a link to a film containing deeply offensive antisemitic material. &nbsp;While we appreciate the fact that he agreed to work with the Brooklyn Nets and the Anti-Defamation League to combat antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, I am disappointed that he has not offered an unqualified apology and more specifically denounced the vile and harmful content contained in the film he chose to publicize. &nbsp;I will be meeting with Kyrie in person in the next week to discuss this situation.&rdquo;

The commissioner of the NBA has come out with a statement on Kyrie Irving's actions.

NEW YORK &ndash; WNBA Draft Lottery 2023 presented by State Farm&reg; will be broadcast on Friday, Nov. 11, at 5:30 p.m. ET, the WNBA announced.
ESPN2 will air a 30-minute WNBA Draft Lottery special leading into its women&rsquo;s college basketball game that evening featuring defending National Champion South Carolina at Maryland (6 p.m. ET). WNBA Head of League Operations Bethany Donaphin will reveal the results of the Lottery during ESPN2&rsquo;s coverage from Bristol, Conn. &nbsp;ESPN networks will present the Draft Lottery for the 11th consecutive year.
The Indiana Fever, Atlanta Dream, Washington Mystics (from Los Angeles via Atlanta), and Minnesota Lynx have qualified for the 22nd annual WNBA Draft Lottery. The winner will secure the top pick in WNBA Draft 2023 presented by State Farm&reg;, which is currently scheduled to take place on Monday, April 10.
Lottery odds are based on the cumulative records of the two most recent regular seasons (2021 and 2022). &nbsp;With a cumulative record of 11-57, the Fever will have the most chances to land the top pick (442 out of 1,000) and are guaranteed at least the third pick.
Atlanta, which posted a combined record over two seasons of 22-46, will have 276 chances out of 1,000 to win the top pick. Washington has the third-most chances (178) after obtaining the right to swap its own 2023 first-round pick with Atlanta for Los Angeles&rsquo; (25-43) 2023 first-round pick previously acquired by Atlanta in a deal in February 2022. Minnesota (36-32) has 104 chances.
In the drawing, 14 balls numbered 1-14 will be placed in a lottery machine and mixed. &nbsp;Four balls will be drawn to determine a four-digit combination. &nbsp;The team assigned that four-ball combination will receive the No. 1 pick. The four balls will then be placed back into the machine and the process will be repeated to determine the second pick. &nbsp;The team with the lowest cumulative two-year record whose numerical combinations do not come up in the first two four-ball combinations will select third and the remaining team will select fourth.
The order of selection for the remainder of the first round as well as the second and third rounds is determined by inverse order of the teams&rsquo; respective regular-season records solely from 2022. A representative from the independent accounting firm Ernst &amp; Young will be in attendance to oversee the Draft Lottery process. Below are the number of chances for teams to land the top pick in WNBA Draft Lottery 2023 presented by State Farm&reg;.

* On Apr. 6, 2022, Washington obtained the right to swap its own 2023 first-round pick for Los Angeles&rsquo; 2023 first-round pick acquired by Atlanta in the Erica Wheeler/Chennedy Carter/Li Yueru trade on Feb. 5, 2022. &nbsp;.
# On Feb. 3, 2022, Chicago received Phoenix&rsquo;s 2023 first-round pick from the Mercury and Julie Allemand from Indiana in a three-team trade that also saw Phoenix obtain Diamond DeShields from Chicago while Indiana received Bria Hartley and a 2023 second-round selection from Phoenix and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023 from Chicago.
^ On Mar. 8, 2022, Indiana obtained Dallas&rsquo; own 2023 first-round pick and Dallas&rsquo; two 2022 first-round selections (No. 4 and No. 6) in exchange for Teaira McCowan, Indiana&rsquo;s pick at No. 7 in the 2022 draft and Chicago&rsquo;s 2023 first-round selection previously acquired by Indiana.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) &mdash; Emoni Bates was reinstated to the Eastern Michigan basketball team and as a student Thursday after prosecutors agreed to drop felony charges against him, his attorney and the school said.
The 18-year-old Bates was a top prospect out of high school who transferred to Eastern Michigan in August after playing his freshman season at Memphis. He was charged after police found a gun in a car he was driving last month. Defense attorney Steve Haney said the vehicle and the gun didn&rsquo;t belong to Bates.
Bates was &ldquo;immediately reinstated to all athletic and campus activities&rdquo; because of the agreement between prosecutors and Bates&rsquo; attorneys, the school said in a statement, adding that the move was made in accordance with athletic department policies.
Bates was charged with two felonies &mdash; carrying a concealed weapon and &ldquo;altering ID marks&rdquo; &mdash; on Sept. 19 after a traffic stop. Bates failed to stop at an intersection and a search turned up the weapon, the Washtenaw County sheriff&rsquo;s office said. He pleaded not guilty at his probable cause hearing last week.
Bates will plead down to a misdemeanor charge, Haney said. A hearing was scheduled for next Wednesday. Bates also must complete a diversion program to have his record expunged.
Bates attended Eastern Michigan&rsquo;s practice on Thursday, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The 6-foot-9 guard will play for his hometown school after averaging 9.7 points and 3.3 rebounds last season as a freshman at Memphis, where he enrolled after reclassifying to skip a year of high school.
Bates became the first sophomore to win the Gatorade national player of the year award in 2020, beating out Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley. The Detroit Pistons drafted Cunningham No. 1 overall last year, two spots before Cleveland took Mobley in the draft.
Bates initially committed to playing for Tom Izzo at Michigan State. He later de-committed and signed with Memphis and coach Penny Hardaway. Bates played in 18 games for the Tigers, missing several weeks with a back injury.
In 2019, as a high school freshman, the slender and skilled guard led Ypsilanti Lincoln to a state title and was named Michigan&rsquo;s Division 1 Player of the Year by The Associated Press. His sophomore season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic and he attended Ypsi Prep Academy as a junior, his final year of high school.
