Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder have enjoyed a decent start to the 2023-24 season. The Thunder have dropped two out of their last three contests; however, this occurred after opening up the season 2-0, and Holmgren has looked the part of the number two overall pick that he was in the 2022 NBA […]

The Arizona Cardinals are heavily anticipating the imminent return of star quarterback Kyler Murray. Arizona recently seemed to have acknowledged how close Murray is to returning by trading away Joshua Dobbs–who had been their starting quarterback for all games of the 2023 season so far–to the Minnesota Vikings, presumably as a replacement for Kirk Cousins, […]

Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox appears to be nearing a return after suffering an ankle injury in a recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Maxi Kleber and the Dallas Mavericks have enjoyed a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season, currently one of only two teams that stands undefeated at 4-0. Kleber has seen somewhat of a diminished role in the offense with some of the offseason acquisitions that the Mavs made; however, it seems that the injury bug […]

Recently, the Los Angeles Clippers made shockwaves around the NBA when it was announced that they had traded for disgruntled Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden.

The Los Angeles Rams are still in the process of figuring out whether they will have the services of starting quarterback Matthew Stafford the next time they take the gridiron. Stafford reportedly did not practice on Wednesday for the Rams, dealing with a thumb injury sustained during last week’s defeat at the hands of the […]

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a relatively surprising start to the 2023-24 NFL season. The Bucs started strong out of the gates, and although they have since dropped two in a row to make their record 3-4, Mayfield’s strong play has allowed them to stay right in the crowded NFC South […]

On Sunday, Atlanta Hawks fans received a slight cause for concern when it was announced that star point guard Trae Young was on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Washington Wizards with Achilles inflammation. However, some users noted that Young had posted a picture of himself on Instagram jumping up and down at […]

Earlier this week, it was announced that the Philadelphia 76ers had traded disgruntled guard James Harden and forward PJ Tucker to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for a collection of role players and draft picks. Tucker was perhaps the most overlooked part of the deal, as he figures to provide a steady defensive presence […]

Recently, it was announced that star point guard James Harden was being traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Los Angeles Clippers.

On Monday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered their second loss of the young season with a 127-113 defeat at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks.

On Monday night, it was announced that the Philadelphia 76ers were trading disgruntled star James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers for a package including draft picks and role players from the Clips bench.

The Bucks currently sit at 2-1 on the season, and Lillard bounced back from one of the worst games of his career against the Atlanta Hawks by dropping 25 […]

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler hasn’t enjoyed a great start to the 2023-24 season. Just months after looking at times like an all-time great NBA player, Butler has looked very pedestrian so far in the new campaign, and the Heat have suffered as a result, opening up the season 1-3. The basketball court is not […]

It hasn’t been a very fun 2023 season for Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Although Pittsburgh currently sits at 4-3, good for second place in the AFC North, Canada hasn’t been able to get much going for the Steelers offense, and the fanbase has let him know about it. Canada has been routinely subjected […]

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have gotten out of the gates slowly in the 2023-24 NBA season. The Heat have started the new campaign 1-3, and Butler’s relatively lackluster play is a large reason why, as the small forward has looked nothing like the player who took over the NBA playoffs at times a […]

Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks have battled their way back from an 0-2 opening to the 2023-24 campaign with two straight wins to now even their record at two wins and two losses.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is continuing to make waves around the NBA in his sixth year in the Association.

On Sunday evening, the Golden State Warriors picked up their second win of the 2023 NBA season with a 106-95 road victory over the Houston Rockets.

On Monday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks suffered their first loss of the season with a 127-110 rout at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks.

On Sunday afternoon, the San Francisco 49ers suffered a shocking third straight loss, this time at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.

After the game, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy spoke on […]

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered just their second loss of the 2023 season with a 24-9 road defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos. The Broncos’ defense, which has struggled throughout the season so far, was surprisingly dominant against a Kansas City offensive attack led by reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes, who had […]

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers dropped their third straight game with a home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. After beginning the season 5-0, San Francisco now suddenly finds itself with more questions than answers through eight games, as this game was controlled by Cincinnati essentially since the opening kick off. Still, all hope is […]

After an impressive 2-0 start to the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder came crashing back down to earth on Sunday with a 128-95 home loss to the reigning champion Denver Nuggets.

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers suffered their third straight loss with a home defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals. After beginning the season 5-0, the 49ers suddenly find themselves reeling and searching for answers, particularly on defense, as Cincinnati was largely able to have its way Sunday afternoon despite playing on the road. After the […]

On Sunday, the Denver Broncos picked up their second win in a row with a surprising 24-9 home victory over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos had their way throughout the afternoon, holding the Chiefs’ vaunted offense to a relatively pedestrian showing by its lofty standards, and improving their record to 3-5 […]

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered their second loss of the 2023 campaign with a frustrating 24-9 road loss to the Denver Broncos.

On Sunday, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals got to over .500 on the 2023 season with an impressive road victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Burrow looked the most mobile that he has been so far on the year and the Bengals were able to pick up their third straight win after what had […]

On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints picked up their fourth win of the season with a road victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed a strong start to the 2023 season, coming out of the gates with a 5-2 record and cementing their status as a powerhouse in the NFC. The Cowboys continued that dominance with a victory over the Los Angeles Rams, winning the game by a score of 43-20 […]

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered their second loss of the season with a 24-9 road loss against the Denver Broncos.

On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans picked up their third win of the season with an impressive home victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The game marked the NFL debut of rookie quarterback Will Levis, who stepped in for injured Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill and eviscerated the Atlanta defense for much of the afternoon. After the game, […]

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles improved to 7-1 on the 2023 season with a highly entertaining 38-31 road win over the division rival Washington Commanders. This game was no cakewalk for the Eagles, as they had to battle back from a Commanders lead at halftime of the game before finally pulling away in the fourth […]

Things have not gotten any less volatile between James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers. After publicly demanding a trade and speaking out against general manager Daryl Morey this past summer, Harden was evidently told not to travel with the Sixers for their season-opening road trip, which began with a narrow loss to the Milwaukee Bucks […]
