What happened: CJ McCollum was the answer to Kevin Chouinard's pregame sneaker trivia question, with @jjaalleenn12 earning the point. The veteran guard is coming off a team-high 20-point performance on Oct. 26.

Why it matters: McCollum signed a one-year, $21 million extension in June after a 19-4 run as a starter to close last season. Now 35, he anchors the starting lineup alongside Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu.

What to watch: McCollum continues in his starting backcourt role as the 2026-27 regular season progresses.
