BOSTON — Last Thursday, when the Celtics returned from Houston after a two-game road trip, the Celtics’ coaching staff didn’t go home from the airport. Instead, they headed straight to the Auerbach Center, where Nikola Vucevic, the team’s newest addition, awaited them. Vucevic had been traded to Boston two days earlier, and immediately dove into […]
The Sacramento Kings are bad at basketball. Like really, really bad. Lose to the infamously tanking Jazz by nearly 30 points bad. Empty Delta Center bad. So bad that the official dictionary of basketball is this close to changing the definition of “bad” to simply: an organization that used to be a professional basketball team, […]
CLEVELAND — Trading for James Harden two-thirds of the way through the season presents some challenges for Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson. Harden has had success playing an isolation-heavy style where he knows where everyone is on the court. Atkinson has been known for a heavy ball and player movement offense. Those opposites can’t […]

Daniel Jones will be Colt! IU Football Pro Day set! Pacers blow loss-win in OT!
I’ve never been quite so happy to eat my words. Brandon Ingram, the Toronto Raptors’ leading scorer this season, has been named an injury replacement in the 2026 All-Star Game. With Stephen Curry out for Team USA, Ingram has been called up to take his spot, and will be playing for the “Stripes” squad , […]
During an appearance on The Sports Junkies on Tuesday, Wizards General Manager Will Dawkins shut down reports that Anthony Davis won’t play this season. “I would say highly likely,” Dawkins said when asked about Davis and Trae Young playing this season. “That’s the goal. We want to see our guys together so we can build […]
An early-February AP Top 25 poll that saw some shifting and shaking could quickly experience more disruption due to two top-20 SEC matchups scheduled for Monday night. After confirming their top-five status with a home win over now-No. 6 LSU on Thursday, No. 4 Texas hosts No. 18 Kentucky (7:30 p.m. ET, SECN). The Wildcats […]
will we hear anything about this?
Baseball will start this week but will it? The Nats are a team in limbo in every way. They have no home station. They have no home coverage. Under new leadership they have no direction (yet). They have an ownership as stable as the next rumor that they are trying to sell. They are a baseball team this year because they were a baseball team last year and baseball teams just don't go away. This Spring will be an exercise in finding the bright spots. In again looking for what mi...
For as badly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool’s men’s team, on the women’s side it’s been even worse—with the slight caveat perhaps that less was expected from them this season. Expecting less, though, is an awful long way from expecting relegation, which is where the women have found themselves. Up until now, […]
There is no better way to recover from your Super Bowl party than with a new Lynx Offseason Update! As we continue to wait for any indication of serious talks when it comes to negotiations with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, we are still on pause before we can start looking ahead to the 2026 WNBA […]
Shams Charania reported before Celtics-Knicks on Sunday that Jayson Tatum began participating in controlled 5-on-5 scrimmages as he continues to attempt a return this season. It marks the first public note of a progression from the visible 1-on-1, shooting and mobility work at practices and shootarounds in recent months. It also marks a progression following […]
On Super Bowl Sunday, the New York Knicks (33*–19) visit the Boston Celtics (34–18) tonight at TD Garden in a matchup between two top Eastern Conference contenders, fighting for second place. Karl-Anthony Towns (eye), Josh Hart (ankle), and OG Anunoby (toe) are questionable for New York, while Miles McBride is out; Boston lists Sam Hauser […]
James Harden’s 15 fourth-quarter points were enough to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a narrow 132-126 victory over the Sacramento Kings in his debut with the team. Immediately after the game, while he was doing his first postgame interview with Cavs sideline reporter Serena Winters, Travis Scott decided to crash the party. “We’re going to […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ backcourt of Donovan Mitchell and James Harden came through when it mattered most. They combined for 32 fourth-quarter points to lead Cleveland to the 132-126 victory over the Sacramento Kings. All is well that ends well. The Mitchell and Harden pairing struggled at the start of the game. They seemingly didn’t want […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers took over in the fourth quarter to win a thriller in Sacramento. Let’s see who won and lost the night. WINNER – The Fourth Quarter This one came down to the wire. That’s in part because of Sacramento’s lights-out shooting and Cleveland’s poor rebounding. But when push came to shove, the Cavs […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers rallied back for a win on the road against the Sacramento Kings. They can thank their new backcourt for this one. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 35 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks Mitchell took a backseat in the first half […]
It wasn’t always pretty, but the Cleveland Cavaliers executed well enough down the stretch to win James Harden’s debut with the team. They defeated the hapless Sacramento Kings 132-126. The Cavaliers’ starting lineup was understandably disjointed at the start of the game. Their four-guard unit featuring Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, and Jarrett […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers may have to wait a little longer for James Harden’s debut with the team. Harden was initially expected to play on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. According to the latest injury report, he may have to wait. Harden is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game with the reason being “trade pending.” This […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will be getting their first look at James Harden in a Cleveland uniform on Saturday night. He was originally listed as questionable, but has been updated to available. That alone will be a reason to watch this game. This is also the first time the Cavs and Kings have met since executing […]

Have you seen that Nike commercial with the late Kobe Bryant and Kanye West? If you haven’t, no worries. That basketball commercial was a play on Bryant’s mamba mentality where he sought more from Kanye. “But are you a different animal and the same beast?,” Bryant asks. That “more successful and more records” uttered in […]
Everything seems to be official. The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the Boston Celtics surprised most fans with their level of activity. Over a three-day span, Boston completed four trades, parting ways with Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman, Josh Minott, and Chris Boucher. Each move carried meaningful financial implications, as the Celtics emerged from Thursday’s deadline below both the first […]
