An image collage containing 2 images, Image 1 shows Charles Barkley smiling and holding a microphone during an interview, Image 2 shows The Warriors sent the "Inside the NBA" crew personalized jerseys — Charles Barkley's was extra special. Barkley went viral after an "Inside the NBA" segment of "Who He Play For?" because of the Hall of Famer's inability to accurately pinpoint where players landed in the offseason. From Moe Wagner to Taurean Prince, Barkley went 0-for-5 in the game. Charles Barkley has been on "Inside the NBA" for more than two decades. NBAE via Getty Images Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith allowed Barkley to try again. He failed a second time. Then, the crew gave him a third chance. And thrice Barkley failed. It was a hilarious segment and a prime example of why "Inside the NBA" continues to be one of the best studio shows in sports. A week later, the Warriors sent Barkley a personalized jersey with the name "I Don't Know" printed on the back.

3 Blazers Takeaways from Ja Morant Injury
Portland Trail Blazers won't have Ja Morant in the lineup for a few weeks after injuring his hamstring. Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morant reacts after the game against the Los Angeles Lakers. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect The Portland Trail Blazers are shaking their heads after losing starting point guard Ja Morant to a hamstring injury that will sideline him for at least a month. Morant showed signs of strength during the first four games of the season, but left the team's most recent contest against his former Memphis Grizzlies team and did not return. Some members of the Portland Trail Blazers On SI staff explained how Morant's injury and absence will affect the team. Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson drives to the basket against Memphis Grizzlies forward Jerami Grant. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect "The Blazers will need to rely on the backcourt depth they have at their disposal. Though the number of guards on the roster was seen as a negative heading into the season, that abundance can now prove itself as a calculated advantage by the front office. "Scoot Henderson will need to improve on what has been an underwhelming start to his campaign after looking like a potential breakout candidate in the preseason. Hopefully, with extended minutes and an expanded role, Henderson can develop a rhythm similar to what we saw at the tail end of last season." — Sahal Arwo
Falcons vs. Bucs injury report: Brian Robinson ruled out for Sunday
Greetings, Falcoholics! Friday's practices have come and gone, and we now have an update on the health of both the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons have had a lengthly injury report all week, and there's some notable names to keep an eye on prior to Sunday's game.

Several players have been designated as questionable to play, but only one has been officially ruled out: running back Brian Robinson.
