Hello and welcome to the Evening News.
As the playoffs continue, we’ll keep you updated every evening. What’s happening today?
Here’s the latest from around the league:
LeBron James says Jordan’s scouting report is “wrong”
After driving left to score the game-winning layup in overtime to beat Indiana in Game 1, LeBron James shared his opinion of Michael Jordan’s scouting report on him. 
In February, Jordan told ESPN that he had studied James’ game and had come up with a strategy to defend the MVP.
“So if I have to guard him,” Jordan told ESPN’s Wright Thompson, “I’m gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he’s gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he’s going to the hole and I can’t stop him. So I ain’t letting him go right.”
James heard the interview months ago and waited until today to share his thoughts.
“That theory is wrong, I guess,” James said of the Jordan report.
According to Synergy Sports, James actually drives left more often than he drives right. Moreover, James shot nearly eight percent higher going to his left than he did going to his right throughout the season.
Dwight adds Golden State to summer list
Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports that Dwight Howard has added the Golden State Warriors to his list of realistic destinations in free agency. 
Previously, the only teams that were considered to intrigue Howard were the Lakers, Mavericks, Rockets, and Hawks.
While the Warriors lack the cap space to sign Howard outright, they do have several young assets and expiring contracts that could be used to entice the Lakers into a sign-and-trade.
Still, Golden State appears to be a long shot in the Howard sweepstakes.
With Andrew Bogut’s productivity in the postseason and with Stephen Curry’s emergence as a legitimate star, the Warriors’ long stated desire to acquire a superstar via trade appears to have now been tempered.
Carmelo Anthony had torn labrum, J.R. Smith had fluid in knee
According to Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com, the Knicks’ two leading scorers were downplaying injuries throughout the postseason.
On Wednesday, an MRI revealed that Carmelo Anthony suffered a small tear in his left shoulder at the end of the regular season. The Knicks are hopeful that Anthony will not need surgery and intend to let him rest for at least the next three weeks to allow him time to heal. 
Anthony was visibly in pain throughout the postseason and admitted to reporters on Monday that the injury had been affecting his play. “It was bothering me since it happened.”
Anthony’s postseason scoring numbers remained similar to the totals he posted in the regular season. However, Anthony’s efficiency dropped substantially in the playoffs. His field goal percentage dropped from 45% to 40.9%.
Meanwhile, a league source confirmed to the New York Post today that J.R. Smith had been playing in the postseason with fluid in his knee. It is unclear whether Smith will need to undergo a procedure to drain the fluid. 
This surprising news could explain Smith’s postseason slide. According to another source, Smith started privately complaining about his knee during the Knicks’ first round matchup with the Celtics. He never used it as an excuse and told the media after Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals that he deserved the entire blame for the Knicks’ postseason struggles.
Smith’s production dropped significantly in the playoffs. In the regular season’s final month, he averaged 22 points on 48% from the field. However, for much of the postseason, Smith could not buy a basket.
He finished with postseason averages of 14.3 points per game and a 33% shooting percentage from the field.
