For the first time since 2019, the Miami Heat will partake in the NBA Draft Lottery. And there will be a familiar face in Chicago to represent the Heat, who enter with less than a five percent chance at earning a top-4 pick. In late April, the Associated Press’ Tim Reynolds reported that vice president […]

History is on the side of the San Antonio Spurs. In a 7 games series, when tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 goes on the win the series 73% of the time. In Game 1, Anthony Edwards came off the bench. After a rapid recovery from a knee hyperextension he gave the Timberwolves a […]

Jaylen Brown has three years and about $183 million left on a 5-year contract he signed in July of 2023. It was a controversial deal at the time, but Brown was headed to free agency the next year and the Celtics knew they needed to keep him. Fast forward three years later and Jaylen Brown […]
Last season, as you may recall, until he injured his knee last December, former Blue Devil Jared McCain was on track to be the surprise Rookie of the Year in the NBA. He got injured again in September, this time a hand rather than his knee, and Philadelphia, feeling it had a crowded backcourt, traded […]
Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni published a statement on his social media right after the club announced their decision to fine both the French midfielder and Fede Valverde after their confrontation during Thursday’s training session. This week’s events in training are simply unacceptable. I say this with a clear mind, reflecting on the example we […]
The noise inside Target Center swelled with every passing minute Friday night, the kind of playoff atmosphere designed to rattle inexperienced teams. Anthony Edwards started for the first time since he returned from a knee injury he suffered in the second round against the Denver Nuggets and every basket he scored sent the crowd into […]
Rightfully, for many franchises across the NBA, this Mother’s Day weekend will be filled with plenty of excitement, with the 2026 draft lottery on Sunday at 3 p.m. EST. There will also be a lot of angst. For the Miami Heat, they have the 13th-best odds, meaning they have less than a five percent chance […]

It was always going to be an uphill battle for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 3 between the Timberwolves and the San Antonio Spurs got off to a weird start at Target Center. Minnesota had an incredibly difficult time putting the ball in the basket, missing its first 12 shots and committing four turnovers, going down […]
After Minnesota closed within 102-100, Victor Wembanyama, as part of a 16 point fourth quarter masterpiece, captained a 13-8 finish, and San Antonio righted the wrongs of their earlier free throw shooting woes to put away the Wolves 115-108. With Anthony Edwards inserted into the starting lineup for game 3, it was a tale of […]
This Mother’s Day is probably the most consequential Mother’s Day in Utah Jazz history (I haven’t checked, I’m guessing, okay). The thing the NBA doesn’t realize is that it’s going to be consequential for the entire league, as well. Utah, even if they somehow lost their pick this year, would still be a playoff contender. […]

This is not how the New York Liberty wanted to start to the season. Sabrina Ionescu is out two weeks with an ankle injury, Satou Sabally, a stunning free-agent addition, did not appear in either of New York’s preseason games. Rebecca Allen ain’t ready to play either. Leonie Fiebich and Raquel Carrera likely won’t arrive […]

Yeah, this is going to be a harder one to come back from. The Sixers were outclassed again by the New York Knicks, falling 108-94 in Game 3 and into a 3-0 series deficit. After missing Game 2, Joel Embiid never looked quite right, finishing with 18 points shooting 7-of-17 from the floor along with […]
The Nuggets press conference gave fans what they wanted to hear about Peyton Watson. Mostly.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have played awfully through the first two games of the series. The guards haven’t lived up to their standards, the defensive communication hasn’t been good, and the team is simply missing wide-open shots. That isn’t going to get the job done on the road against a 60-win Detroit Pistons team. Yet, despite […]
There is a possibility that a Jamal Murray trade will be in the cards for the Denver Nuggets this summer.
Ready for a curveball? The latest NBA Mock Draft from Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor not only has Malachi Moreno going in the first round, but even ahead of Jayden Quaintance. Yes, this projection has Moreno going 24th overall to the New York Knicks, while Quaintance goes 29th to the Cleveland Cavaliers, nearly falling out of […]
Fitting with the day-to-day designation he was given, the Sixers injury report lists Joel Embiid (ankle sprain, hip soreness) as questionable for Friday’s Game 3 of their second round series against the Knicks. With Philly down 2-0 in the series to New York, things shift to South Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 this weekend. […]
