Phoenix Suns head coach Frank Vogel made it clear that there’s no place in the NBA for such actions committed Tuesday night by Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. “Just looked like a reckless and dangerous play.

Exum […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ annual adversity test came early; without Kyrie Irving, who will be out for the foreseeable future with a foot injury, the responsibility to shoulder a huge offensive workload will fall once more on Luka Doncic’s shoulders.

When last season wrapped for the Cleveland Cavaliers, All-Star big man Jarrett Allen was the butt of every joke and every meme on NBA social spheres. That’s right. Memes. The DNA of the soul.

The Phoenix Suns’ mediocre 12-10 record could be startling to some, but this team is not too concerned about its December standing.

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was supposed to be the main attraction on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. It’s Serbian Heritage Night after all.

Officiating has been more than questionable in the first quarter of the NBA season. A lot of players have become livid with a lot of interesting calls and even some non-calls.
