SAN FRANCISCO — Kristaps Porziņģis never imagined it would play out like this. But between Al Horford’s departure to Golden State over the summer, Porziņģis’ health issues in Atlanta, his ensuing trade to the Warriors and the late scheduling of the first Celtics game against Golden State on Feb. 19 — Horford and Porziņģis’ first […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are carrying a 27-29 record into the stretch run of their 2025-26 regular season campaign. In some ways the year has seemed long already. Their 5-3 start to the season—with wins over the Lakers, Warriors, Nuggets, and Thunder—seems almost like another lifetime. In other ways, the year has gone quickly. Injuries […]
The Celtics have a treat coming out of All-Star break: a four-game west coast swing that includes games at the Warriors, Lakers, Suns and Nuggets and a back-to-back. Boston is set to face four teams that if the playoffs started today, would all be participating. They all present different issues. The Warriors will be without […]
SAN FRANCISCO — When the Celtics face the Warriors on Thursday, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis could both face the Celtics for the very first time since their respective tenures in Boston ended last summer. Porzingis is questionable to play against the Celtics as he continues to deal with a left Achilles tendon injury, while […]
The second month of the calendar year started with a couple of convincing wins over the Clippers and Warriors for the Sixers in the midst of a West Coast swing. Since that Warriors win on Feb. 3, Philadelphia has won one game. It got blown out by Portland and New York in its final two […]
The Long Island Nets lost a big piece of their team on Monday afternoon as wing Nate Williams officially signed with the Golden State Warriors on a two-way deal. This comes as Williams has been one of Long Island’s biggest scorers and playmakers. Williams becomes the first Long Island player to be called-up for a […]
After the 126-113 road win at the home of the Golden State Warriors last week, I spent most of the two hour public transit ride home flipping back and forth between these two views of the standings: ESPN’s overall league standings: ESPN Conference standings: The best thing about this successful season is that there are […]
We are just over one calendar year from the Miami Heat dealing Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in a five-team blockbuster. Their relationship soured — largely due to the Heat’s unwillingness to sign Butler to an extension in the summer of 2024 — and it was best for both sides to go their […]

“Can you just let me have this?” We were fifteen minutes from the California border, and the trees in Oregon were getting taller and taller. Having flown into Medford, we were now two hours into the drive to Cresent City and seven hours into a journey that had started at 5am, and the anticipation had […]
The San Antonio Spurs maintained their winning ways on a night both De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama dominated offensively and defensively (in the latter portion, at least). Fox led all players with 27 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals while Wembanyama had 26 points and 9 rebounds. Heading into the mid-season break, the Silver and […]
For a half, it looked like the San Antonio Spurs might limp into the All-Star break. Instead, they stormed into it. Behind a ferocious second-half turnaround and another poised performance from their young stars, the Spurs erased a 16-point 3rd quarter deficit and powered past the Golden State Warriors 126-113 on Wednesday night at Chase […]
The Golden State Warriors came out hot to take advantage of a San Antonio Spurs team on the second night of a back-to-back. They were red-hot from three and jumped out to a 38-31 lead in the first quarter. The Spurs fought back by getting to the basket and crushing the Warriors in the paint […]

Make no mistake about it, Monday’s blowout loss in Portland was an unfortunate ending to Philadelphia’s five-game West Coast trip that started off with convincing wins against the Clippers and Warriors. A few days prior to the loss on Monday was a loss in Los Angeles against the Lakers which happened to coincide with an […]
It’s not like the Golden State Warriors haven’t tried at all to build a competent team around Stephen Curry in the latter stages of his special career. Though they managed to squeeze another title out of their big 3 in 2022, the Warriors were unable to hit on ready-now draft picks that would both pave […]
To the surprise of no one, the latest Laker injury update involves a day-to-day designation. On Saturday, Deandre Ayton was a very late scratch for the Lakers with a knee injury. Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber stepped up in his place, helping the team to a victory over the Warriors. After the game, head coach […]
When the NBA made the schedule, they probably had a much different game in mind than the one that played out on Saturday. On one side, Luka Dončić was out after a recent hamstring injury while, on the other side, Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler both were out. That left Austin Reaves, who was still […]
With both teams missing stars, the Lakers controlled much of the second half of Saturday’s game against the Warriors, earning a 105-99 win. Luka Dončić and Steph Curry each missed the game due to injury while Austin Reaves remained under a minutes restriction. As a result, a host of unlikely suspects stepped up for both […]

UPDATE: Luka Dončić has been downgraded to out vs. the Warriors due to a left hamstring strain. Luka injured his leg during LA’s recent game against the Sixers and had to exit the contest.

After weeks, scratch that, months, of reporters updating fans on the ongoing Giannis Antetokounmpo story, we all get to take a collective exhale of both annoyance and relief as the sweepstakes for the Greek superstar will be put on a temporary hold. While the Warriors, Heat, Timberwolves, and the Knicks were all linked to the […]
The Sixers are red-hot, coming off two road wins and riding a five-game winning streak after back-to-back victories over the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors.
