Former NBA forward Bruno Caboclo has reached a rest-of-season agreement with Dubai Basketball, the EuroLeague club confirmed in a press release.

Caboclo, 30, was selected 20th overall by Toronto in the 2014 draft and played seven NBA seasons, most recently appearing for Houston in 2020/21. The Brazilian forward spent the 2024/25 campaign with Hapoel Tel Aviv, captured the FIBA AmeriCup title with Brazil last summer, and missed the start of 2025/26 because of a back injury.

All-Star roster projections

ESPN’s Tim Bontemps released his early 2026 NBA All-Star selections, listing nine locks from the Eastern Conference and 10 from the West, plus five bubble candidates in each conference. His final Eastern spot went to Pacers forward Pascal Siakam, edging out Desmond Bane and Michael Porter Jr. In the West, Devin Booker earned the last nod over Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves.

Rising Stars coaching lineup

The NBA named Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Austin Rivers as honorary head coaches for the 2026 Rising Stars game at All-Star Weekend. Three squads will be made up of NBA rookies and sophomores, while a fourth team will feature standouts from the G League.

Trade candidates to monitor

In a separate ESPN piece, Bobby Marks and Kevin Pelton identified one potential trade candidate on every NBA roster. High-profile names such as Ja Morant and Domantas Sabonis headline the list, which also spotlights less prominent options like Chris Boucher of the Celtics and Kobe Brown of the Clippers.

Valuable draft assets

Marks also examined several of the most consequential traded picks in the 2026 draft and explained how various complex swaps could benefit certain teams. A detailed breakdown of all 2026 first-round selections currently on the move is available in a companion report.

The announcements and analyses collectively highlight a busy week of roster movement and All-Star preparations across the basketball landscape.
