NBA players aren’t sure how they feel about Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernández. Wednesday morning, The Athletic dropped a report detailing the results of its anonymous latest player poll.

Because we live in a world of 24/7 media coverage, there’s bound to be lots of really bad takes. The latest involved Luka Dončić and his trip to Spain. After suffering his hamstring injury, Luka pretty quickly jetted to Europe for injections in hopes of accelerating his return to the court. However, as we now […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs schedule gives us a couple of games this evening. The embattled Philadelphia 76’ers will try to overcome fatigue to turn around a 0-1 start to their series with the New York Knicks.

Luka Dončić spoke to the media for the first time since suffering his hamstring strain in early April on Wednesday following the Lakers’ practice.

The Scoot Henderson roller coaster ride took more twists and turns during the 2025-26 NBA season. The young guard spent most of the year in street clothes, recovering from a preseason hamstring injury. After he returned to the lineup and ramped up, he became an important part of Head Coach Tiago Splitter’s bench rotation, then […]
No team won more games than the Thunder this season. A well-oiled machine with back-to-back 60-win regular seasons flexed its basketball muscle Tuesday night. While the final score is not entirely indicative of a back-and-forth affair, a dominant team performance nonetheless forced LA back to the drawing board. Facing the clear-cut deepest team in the […]
A day after the Minnesota Timberwolves upset the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of their second-round matchup, I got a follow-up text from JR Wilco at Pounding the Rock — our Spurs sister site — asking if I wanted to have another one of these conversations about what we’re seeing within our own teams […]
You have all seen the stat online; the Cleveland Cavaliers are rewriting the history books. At the time of this post, the Cavs have the most turnovers through eight games of the postseason since 1996, with 141. Not exactly the type of notoriety one hopes for from their favorite basketball club. However, through eight games, […]
With the condensed schedule of the NBA playoffs and the quick turnaround for the Philadelphia 76ers after their seven-game series with the Boston Celtics, it was frequently wondered if Joel Embiid was going to be able to make it through a series that would play as many as seven games in 15 days. Well, just […]
Debating subjective topics is inherent to the sports experience. No matter the venue, no matter the participants, somebody will have an opinion about it. Though most such observations are of the “grain of salt” variety, expert views can sometimes hold insight or weight beyond the norm. Each year The Athletic tries to cultivate that kind […]
Against a team as good as the Thunder, there is no margin for error. LeBron James discussed the attention to detail required for LA to have success against OKC before the series even began. So, when LA played Game 1 and had 18 turnovers, that didn’t exactly put them in a position for success. The […]
The Mavericks introduced Masai Ujiri as their new president of basketball operations on Tuesday. He answered questions for about 45 minutes, where he spoke about his background, his time off from basketball, and his hope of turning Cooper Flagg into a king. But it wasn’t Ujiri who inspired the most hope in me on Tuesday. […]
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun is continuing to catch strays during the offseason. The Turkish All-Star just finished his fifth NBA season and the second in a row where the Rockets could not get out of the first round in the playoffs. The Athletic conducted a league-wide survey asking players various questions about their peers. […]
Turns out the Sixers lost Game 1 because of the schedule, not because the Knicks crushed their souls into dust. Let’s see if having a bit of rest helps the Philly Numbers, or if they keep crumbling. Fresh Bulletin now, Game 2 later. Mike Brown On coaching under the Finals-or-bust pressure: “People have talked about […]
If Jaylen Brown ever comes available in the trade market, the Hawks would have plenty of reason to at least pick up the phone.
BOSTON — Three days after the Celtics’ early playoff elimination, Brad Stevens sat down in front of the media for his longest press conference of the year, touching on a slew of questions ranging from the team’s offensive play style, reports that Jaylen Brown is unhappy with the organization, Jayson Tatum’s Game 7 sidelining, and […]
The 39-point defeat the Sixers suffered in Game 1 of the second round at the hands of the New York Knicks was disappointing, but not that surprising.

With 5:28 seconds left in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Cleveland Cavaliers tied things up at 93 points apiece. They mounted an 18-point comeback against the Detroit Pistons, the top seed, capped off by three James Harden free throws. A whole new ballgame. But Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson made one of […]

Today, the North Carolina Courage announced that they have placed forward Payton Crawford (née Linnehan) on the season-ending injury (SEI) list and she’ll be out for the remainder of the season.
