Trae Young Responds To Tyrese Haliburton's Lob Off The Board Suggestion

"When we counting a lob off the backboard as an assist?" asked Hali. Trae's response? "I stopped throwing them when they stopped counting them." Tim MacMahon confirmed years prior that this is in the "stats manual". Young and Hali were top 3 in assists in 2024-25 (11.6 and 9.2, respectively) so these would skyrocket if backboard lobs were included.
