West Notes: Naz Reid, Timberwolves, Suns, lineup, LeBron James, Grizzlies

Timberwolves big man Naz Reid is dealing with heartbreaking news. His sister, Toraya Reid, was shot and killed Saturday in New Jersey, as we relayed here.

Prosecutors have charged Shaquille Green, who was reportedly in a relationship with her, with murder.

Reid’s former teammate and close friend, Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, shared his grief on social media.

“Heartbroken,” Towns wrote. “No words can ever take away the pain for my brother. Holding everyone close in prayer today.”

Suns’ camp questions: The Suns enter training camp with plenty to sort out under a new coaching staff. Chief among them: who will run the point and who claims the fifth starting spot.

Devin Booker and Jalen Green form an explosive backcourt, but neither is a true point guard. As for that final starting role, Ryan Dunn and Royce O’Neale are the leading candidates, bringing different strengths to the table, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

LeBron not eyeing coaching: LeBron James has doubled down on the idea that coaching won’t be part of his post-playing future.

“I was inspired by the game. I love the game. But I don’t have coaching in my future,” he told CGTN Sports Scene. He made a similar point in a video shared by Clutch Points. LeBron, 40, is entering his 23rd season.

Grizzlies could surprise: Don’t sleep on Memphis. Michael Wallace of Grind City Media believes the Grizzlies can be “sneaky dangerous” if their stars stay healthy.

A key will be continued chemistry between Ja Morant and second-year center Zach Edey in the pick-and-roll. Wallace also offered breakdowns of the other Southwest Division teams in his preview.
