A new Lamar Odom documentary is promising to shed new light on all the ups and downs of Lamar Odom’s life.

“Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom” is slated to air on Netflix on March 31, and it’ll address his near-death experience in Las Vegas, his NBA career, his addiction and his relationship with Khloe Kardashian.

An 88-second teaser for the project, which dropped earlier this month, shows Odom talking about his first encounter with cocaine.

“That first hit of cocaine was amazing,” he said, before adding, “but you unlock a vault that you can’t really control.”

Kardashian can also be heard in the preview recalling times where Odom would “escape rehab and go on a drug bender.”

Odom also gave his thoughts on the afterlife in the clip.

While fans wait for the film to drop, Odom is dealing with a legal matter stemming from his January run-in with cops in Nevada.

Odom’s attorney, Kevin Coburn, submitted a not guilty plea on the former NBA player’s behalf inside a Las Vegas court room on Tuesday.

At the proceedings, Coburn also requested a bench trial for his client, which was set for July 7.

Odom is facing three misdemeanors in the case — one count of DUI, one count of speeding 41 MPH over posted speed limit and one count of failure to properly maintain travel lane — after authorities alleged he drove over 100 MPH while under the influence on a Las Vegas highway on Jan. 17.

An incident report stated Odom was pulled over for going well over the posted speed limit of 65 MPH and he smelled of marijuana during the ensuing traffic stop.

The former Laker was then arrested after he allegedly failed field sobriety tests.

Coburn, according the Las Vegas Review-Journal, declined to comment on the allegations against Odom on Tuesday, though the attorney did confirm his client had completed rehab in the wake of the arrest.

Coming off their 50th win of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Spurs traveled to Sacramento on a SEGABABA to take on the Kings for the final time this season. Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet returned from injury, but Devin Vassell was ruled out with ankle soreness. Nonetheless, from the opening tip, the Spurs quickly built a double-digit lead and never relinquished it. After building a 17-point lead after the first quarter, the lead ballooned to 31 at halftime. In the third, the Kings kept a scoring pace to match the Spurs, but the 31-point deficit did not change at the end of the quarter. No matter who checked in for the Spurs, they were on an absolute heater. 13 Spurs players scored at least one point, and altogether they drained a franchise-record 25 three-pointers. The Spurs ultimately won in a wire-to-wire domination, 132-104.

Victor Wembanyama led the way with 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and a block. Wemby shot 50% from the field and only played 22 minutes due to the blowout. Nonetheless, he still managed to swat Maxime Raynaud. He drove to the paint with ease and picked his spots in the post for smooth mid-range jumpers and threes. With only 13 games left in the regular season, Wemby will look to cement his MVP case alongside his lock for DPOY.

LOOK OUT BELOW! Wemby gets Raynaud in the air and drives in through three Kings defenders for a two-handed slam!

Just throw it up there! De’Aaron Fox and Wemby run the p&r, and it results in an alley-oop slam!

DEJA VU! Another p&r, another alley-oop connection between Fox and Wemby!

Keldon Johnson led the way with 18 points (8-12 FG), one rebound, and an assist. KJ managed to score efficiently and co-led the scoring punch with Wemby in just 20 minutes. He drained two threes and battled in the paint for his finishes at the rim. After scoring just eight points against the Clippers, this bounce-back game from KJ will hope to spark his scoring off the bench with only 13 games remaining.

Julian Champagnie dropped 17 points (5-7 3PT), one rebound, and an assist in just 24 minutes. Julian was on fire from the three-point line. His five threes are his most since March 6th against the Clippers, and it was much needed after his last two games. Because of Dev’s injury, Julian started at small forward and found himself open on multiple threes. This blazing performance is only a smidge of how dangerous he can be from three the rest of the way.

Harrison Barnes dropped 16 points (4-5 3PT), four rebounds, and three assists in just 22 minutes. HB started in place of Dev, and like Julian, he was also on fire from three. His four threes are his most scored in a game since February 5th against Dallas. Playing against the Kings may have had something to do with his aggressiveness. The time off from his sprained ankle has allowed him to play freely, as he is shooting 53% from three during the month of March. His scoring will be a huge x-factor for this team, especially when he returns to the bench.

UNC STILL GOT IT! Stephon Castle finds a wide open HB under the basket, who then slams it down!

De’Aaron Fox dropped 15 points (3-5 3PT), six assists, five rebounds, and a steal. With the return of Dyl, Fox was able to garner more rest and be patient with his looks. In just 22 minutes, Fox drained three threes and got into the paint with floaters and layups. Even though it was not an offensive explosion, Fox still played with an edge against his former team. Fox has started every game he has played with the Spurs, and he will look to help command the floor with Steph as the season draws near towards the playoffs.

D3’AARON! After Wemby rejects Raynaud on one end, he finds Fox open on the wing for the trey!

Dylan Harper dropped 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3PT), five assists, and four rebounds in just 20 minutes off the bench. Dyl came back from injury and wowed on offense. His playmaking led the second unit as the Spurs’ lead kept growing throughout the game. He also drained three threes, which is his most since March 8th against the Rockets. The 20-year-old will look to continue his All-Rookie charge as his talent will continue to elevate this contending team.

TEAM FIRE ENABLED! Dyl knocks down the open three off the tip-out for the team’s 22nd three-pointer of the game!

Lindy Waters III dropped 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes off the bench. Lindy checked into the game during the second quarter and immediately showed why he is a hidden three-point specialist. He scored in double figures for the first time this season and drained three threes, which is also a season-high. Mitch Johnson’s decision to play Lindy and Kelly Olynyk shows that whoever is on the Spurs’ bench should be ready at any time, and it paid off with the hot shooting Lindy provided. Oh yeah, he’s also got some hops!

Stephon Castle dropped 3 points, a rebound, a block, but dished out 12 assists. Steph struggled from the field, but of all the games to struggle shooting, this was the one that could be excused. He still managed to drain one of the 25 threes the Spurs splashed, and his playmaking vision was on full tilt. He is the first Spur with 12 assists and 0 turnovers since Chris Paul. It is the fifth time he’s dished out double-digit assists this month, and he will continue to co-lead playmaking duties with Fox as one of the fastest-paced offenses continues to roll.

Lob City Dimer! Steph finds a wide-open Luke Kornet cutting to the basket for the alley-oop slam! Luke returned from injury and dropped four points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block.

All in all, this was a take-care-of-business game. This young team, especially early on in the season, has had a mediocre habit of playing down to its competition. However, this game reminded Spurs fans of their game against the 76ers. Wire-to-wire, the Spurs literally shot the lights out of the Golden 1 Center. To win your 51st game of the season by breaking the franchise record of most threes scored in a game with 25 proves that this team has the ability to not settle. A total team domination.

Finally, here are the full game highlights.

The Spurs return home to take on the Phoenix Suns this Thursday at 7:00 P.M. (CST) on FDSN-SW.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Warriors fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

The Golden State Warriors have been on a collision course with the 2026 play-in tournament for a long time. They’ve occupied one of the 7-10 spots in the Western Conference for most of the season, but for the first few months held visions of rising into the top six. Jimmy Butler III’s ACL injury saw those dreams come to a heartbreaking halt, and Steph Curry’s ensuing runner’s knee injury has sent the Dubs in a downward spiral. But they had banked enough wins — and the cellar dwellers in the West had banked enough losses — that their spot in the play-in tournament was all but assured.

Even with their recent skid, the Warriors are a full 9.5 games ahead of the first team out. With just 14 games left to play, you can be assured that the Dubs will have an 83rd game this season.

But will they have an 84th? And an 85th? That’s the real question.

If the season ended today, the Warriors would host the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the play-in tournament. If they won that game, they’d go on the road to play the loser of a game between the LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns. The odds would not favor the Warriors getting out of that tourney, but if Curry and Kristaps Porziņģis are healthy — two very large “ifs,” admittedly — I wouldn’t bet against them.

What would really help Golden State is if they could rise up a spot, and pass the Clippers in the play-in standings. They’re just one game behind LA presently, so that’s very much in play, especially if Curry returns soon.

So what do you think, Dub Nation. Will we see the Warriors advance to the honest-to-goodness playoffs, and get a seven-game series with one of the West’s elite? Or will they fizzle and burn in the play-in tournament?

There is a question that has followed this team all season, one that keeps resurfacing and never quite finds resolution. Should Collin Gillespie start when everyone is healthy?

It is a fair question, and one we still do not have a clean answer to. Not because the sample size is lacking, but because the opportunity to truly evaluate it has never fully existed. Health has been the constant variable, shifting lineups, changing roles, and preventing any real continuity from forming. Every time it feels like the Suns are close to finding that rhythm, something interrupts it. 

This conversation first picked up when Jalen Green was working his way back from the hamstring injury earlier in the season. There was a window where you thought, okay, now we will see what this looks like. Then came the setback. Then came the extended absence. 48 games gone, and with it, any chance at clarity.

Now the conversation returns in a different form. Dillon Brooks is out. Devin Booker and Jalen Green are both available. And so Gillespie remains in the starting lineup, continuing to log minutes, continuing to show what he brings. But the offense has changed. It’s a three-guard lineup that should really only be starting two. There isn’t enough opportunity for all three to be the best versions of themselves offensively, and when two of the three combine for $86.7 million in payroll, the guy making $2.3 million gets squeezed out. 

Just look at the numbers. Prior to Jalen Green’s return to the starting lineup on February 19, Gillespie was averaging 13.3 points on 10.7 attempts per night. In 28.3 minutes, he found his rhythm and had shooting splits of 43/42/85. Then there was the period from February 19 to March 3, a time when Green and Gillespie were the backcourt as Booker was out with injury. Gillespie averaged 16.2 points in 33.2 minutes played on 43/42/83 splits.

Since March 3, when Devin Booker made his return, and the Suns consistently started their three-guard lineup of Booker, Green, and Gillespie, the numbers have started to dip. 9.9 points on 37/37/100 splits. But it is the last four games that really spark concern, as the offense has shifted to a more Booker/Green dominant brand of basketball. Collin is averaging 4.8 points on 7.8 shots, doing so on 23/21/100 splits. Is this regression? Or is this causation? 

It brings you right back to the same question. When everyone is available, what is the right role for Collin Gillespie? Does he stay in the starting group and continue to be that connective piece, or does he shift to the bench and become the stabilizer for the second unit? It is a question without a final answer. At least not yet.

Dillon Brooks is still out, and even on the optimistic end, it will be a couple more weeks before we see him again. That part of the equation is clear. When he is back, someone becomes the odd man out. Well, unless the Suns want to go so small that they might now be legally permitted to ride Space Mountain.

What has changed is the dynamic around Collin Gillespie. As Devin Booker and Jalen Green have ramped up their scoring and expanded their shot diet, Gillespie has naturally faded into the background. It is not hard to see why. When you share the floor with two high-use guards, the opportunities shrink. The ball finds you less. 

So the question you are asking is a logical one. Why not shift him to the bench now? Why not insert Grayson Allen into the starting lineup (when healthy) and let Gillespie run the second unit, where his skill set might shine more consistently? Because there is a real argument for it.

Allen gives you spacing and volume shooting alongside Booker and Green, which could open things up even more offensively. Gillespie, on the other hand, thrives with the ball in his hands, organizing, connecting, making decisions. That version of him is harder to access when he is the third option sharing the floor with two primary scorers. He’s not someone you stick in the corner, nor should he be.

The counter, and it is an important one, is what Gillespie does that does not always show up in the box score. He keeps the offense connected. He makes the right read. He helps maintain structure. Coaches value that, especially in starting groups where early tone matters.

So it becomes a philosophical decision. Do you prioritize spacing and scoring in the starting lineup with Allen, or do you prioritize connectivity and control with Gillespie? Right now, the numbers and the recent trend suggest there is a case to explore the shift. Let Gillespie cook with the second unit. Let Allen stretch the floor with the starters. At the very least, it is a lever worth pulling, especially during a stretch where the Suns are still searching for balance.

When everyone is healthy, which might only be for a handful of games before the postseason arrives, Collin Gillespie is going to the bench. That is the right move for this team. With Devin Booker and Jalen Green in the backcourt, and Dillon Brooks and Royce O’Neale holding down the forward spots, regardless of who starts at center, Gillespie becomes the odd man out. And that is okay.

He has already shown what he can do. He can carry a scoring load. He can run an offense. He can be a primary distributor. But when you have that much investment in your backcourt, those are the players who are going to start. That is how this league works. The role Gillespie was brought in to fill was backup point guard. So while he is searching for rhythm in a lineup where touches are limited, and the team is still dealing with injuries, there is value in leaning into what his role will actually be moving forward. Let him come off the bench. Let him run the second unit. Let him get comfortable being the guy with the ball in his hands.

You can start that now.

Grayson Allen fits cleanly with the starters. He spaces the floor. He is the ideal corner option when Booker or Green collapses the defense and needs an outlet. He thrives in that environment. Gillespie can do some of that, but his skill set is better utilized when he is initiating, when he is orchestrating, when he has a higher usage, and the freedom to create for others. 

Right now, that usage is not there. Earlier in the season, it sat around 16.9%. During this recent stretch where he has been less involved offensively, it has dipped to 11.7%. That is not where he is most effective. So lean into it. Let him run the bench unit. Let him find his rhythm in the role he is most likely to have when the games matter most.

If the Suns want to do anything this postseason, if there is any real noise to be made, Collin Gillespie has to be a primary cog. He has shown that all season. He has the ability to organize, to score, to create, to steady a unit that needs direction. There is something there, something that can matter when the games tighten, and every possession carries weight. And it is going to have to come from the bench.

So why wait?

Why not lean into that role now? Get him comfortable. Let him understand the sets he will see, the rhythm he will play with, and the responsibility he will carry. Give him the keys to the second unit and let him operate. Let him cook against opposing benches. There is no better time than the present to start building that version of him, the one this team is going to need when the postseason arrives.

…and hey, if Grayson is out, you can throw Rasheer into the starting lineup here and there…
