Codebreakers abound this week on Illuminati. We're two weeks into the NBA season and some long simmering pots have come to a boil.

In Charlotte, Grant Williams was ejected after he hip checked former teammate and alleged friend Jayson Tatum, ruining their dinner plans that evening.

In Philadelphia, local columnist Marcus Hayes incited the wrath of Joel Embiid with some transgressive comments about the MVP's family.

Finally, Compton's own Truth Teller Travonne Edwards taps in on the words indirectly exchanged between Drake and DeMar DeRozan in Toronto.
