The Golden State Warriors announced on Thursday that wing Moses Moody underwent successful surgery on the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb and is expected to be ready in time for next season's training camp.

The NBA fined Edwards $50,000 on Thursday for "using profane language during a media interview" after Game 1 of the West finals.

Shooting guard Jaden Ivey, who missed the second half of the season and the entirety playoffs with a fractured fibula in his left, should return healthy at some point early in the year. Cunningham, Duren and rookie Ron Holland should all continue to develop.

The Bulls selected Rose with the first pick in the 2008 Draft. He won the Rookie of the Year award in 2008-09, then made his first All-Star team in 2009-10. In 2010-11, he took his game to another level by averaging 25.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. Not only did he make the All-Star team again, but he won the MVP award.

While it's a testament to the international growth of the game that winners have come from Canada, Serbia, Cameroon and Greece, it also means American-born players are lagging behind the league's elite.

Injuries defined this round, but there are takeaways for the Celtics, Cavaliers, Nuggets and Warriors heading into next season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had several star players don the wine and gold (or orange and blue) throughout their 55-year history in the NBA. However, just one of those greats took home the prestigious title of the Most Valuable Player award. LeBron James, the Akron, Ohio native, won the honor in back-to-back seasons in 2008-09 and 2009-10.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made NBA MVP voting history this season. No, the 21-time All-Star power forward did not win a fifth MVP award, but he did earn one fourth-place vote and 13 fifth-place votes from the league's pool of 100 global media members.
