Following their loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the Philadelphia 76ers traveled to Chicago Sunday for the final leg of a two-game road trip.

The Indiana Pacers have made their first trade this season, sending Caris LeVert to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ricky Rubio and draft picks.

The Brooklyn Nets are now on an eight-game losing streak and to make things worse, they are not only injured but also mired in controversy. Between Kevin Durant’s sprained MCL, James Harden’s most recent hamstring injury that needed an MRI, and some fever-pitch trade rumors, the Big 3 “scary hours” dream feels almost far-fetched right […]

The Detroit Lions haven’t fielded a competitive squad since Jim Caldwell was still the head coach back in 2017. From 2018 on, the Lions’ record is an abysmal 17-46-1, having placed dead last in the NFC North four years in a row. While the team looks a long way from playoff contention, there is still […]

New York is in a great position to make some noise, but they must make the correct decisions throughout the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers drafted Tyrese Maxey with the 21st overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

The Seattle Seahawks’ 2021 campaign was filled with controversy surrounding the future of star quarterback Russell Wilson with the team.

After a spectacular 2019 and 2020 season, Spencer Dinwiddie seemed like the perfect fit alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving before suffering a torn ACL in the third game of their 2021 campaign. It seemed that his value regressed with the amount of games he missed after the Washington Wizards executed a sign-and-trade deal in […]

The Los Angeles Clippers struck for first blood ahead of the NBA trade deadline after acquiring veterans Norman Powell and Robert Covington from the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Charlotte Hornets fell to the Miami Heat 104-86 on Saturday night. With that loss, the Hornets are on a four-game losing skid and have slid down to the 9th spot in the eastern conference.

At 21-32, the Portland Trail Blazers are arguably the biggest disappointment of the season.

After going 4-1 on their recent homestand, the Philadelphia 76ers hit the road for a two-game stint away from the Wells Fargo Center.
