The Kyrie Irving may have led the Brooklyn Nets to a win against the Detroit Pistons, but the latter team had a bit of a troll job with the controversial guard, according to Vince Goodwill. As Irving headed to the free-throw line for his foul shots, the arena jumbotron displayed a large globe. Moments later, […]

Former NBA player Eddie House called the Orlando Magic “garbage” even after the team beat on Sunday the Boston Celtics, the team he played for multiple seasons during his time in the pros. Understandably, Magic fans and some Orlando players showed their disgust over House’s sharp comment. Cole Anthony, Terrence Ross, and Mo Bamba all […]

The past few weeks for the Chicago Bulls have been defined by turmoil and a sense of urgency to get back on track. DeMar DeRozan had already urged his team to wake up. After all, the Bulls, a playoff team last season, entered their Sunday night clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a putrid 11-17 […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to turn their season around after a horrid start to their campaign. They have been winning more frequently as of late, but even after their wild win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night, they still have just a 13-16 record, which is good for 12th place in the […]

For more than 10 years now, the Orlando Magic franchise has been one of uninspired, languid basketball defined by lack of ambition. Since trading Dwight Howard before the 2012-13 season, the Magic have only made the playoffs twice, suffering two first-round exits at the hands of the Kawhi Leonard-led Toronto Raptors and the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led […]

The Washington Wizards appear to have the bleakest outlook out of all NBA franchises at the moment. Not only are they stuck paying Bradley Beal, a solid All-Star caliber player for sure, yet is unable to guarantee a playoff appearance for his team, around $50 million until 2027, they also have little in the way […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James remains one of the most physically dominant players in the NBA on the cusp of his 38th birthday. His secret to staving off — no, beating — Father Time? It began in elementary school. Following a 33-point, 7-rebound, 9-assist performance in the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Washington […]

Jaylen Brown is pissed at the refereeing this season. League officials have cracked down hard on the blatant travelling and dribbling violations during NBA games. However, they have been rather inconsistent on how they’ve officiated on a game-to-game basis. That led the Celtics star to remark that he’s seemingly been targeted with more travel calls […]

The Phoenix Suns are lucky to have Devin Booker. At the same time, the former Kentucky Wildcats feel that he owes it to the Suns to perform at the highest level he could whenever he’s out there on the floor. And that he absolutely did last Saturday in leading the Suns to a 118-114 victory […]

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves haven’t had the most inspired season through the first two-plus months of the 2022-23 regular season. The injury to Karl-Anthony Towns hasn’t helped matters at all, and blockbuster offseason addition Rudy Gobert has missed his fair share of games as well. Nonetheless, at least for one night, Edwards and […]

Until his remarks after delivering the Los Angeles Lakers a bonkers win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday, LeBron James had not publicly addressed the distressing news that Anthony Davis will be out for at least a month with a right foot injury he suffered in the Lakers’ win over the Denver Nuggets on Friday.

The Los Angeles Lakers escaped with a 119-117 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night at Crypto.com Arena, capped by a goofy final sequence in which LeBron James turned a potentially crippling turnover into a game-winning dunk in the span of seconds.

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic just had a ridiculously good game against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night. It’s so good that even Ja Morant and Paul Pierce couldn’t help but be amazed by what they just witnessed. Jokic singlehandedly carried the Nuggets in their narrow 119-115 win over the Hornets. He dropped a triple-double, […]

Nikola Jokic almost did everything for the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night against the Charlotte Hornets. ALMOST. The Serbian center, unfortunately, missed one big assist that would have made a fan’s day. As he was exiting the floor and heading to the locker room, a fan wanted to get a fist bump, but Jokic appeared […]

Nikola Jokic is probably from another planet. He is also probably not. But in any case, what the Denver Nuggets big man did Sunday night against the Charlotte Hornets was otherworldly. Jokic could not be contained at all by the Hornets, as the two-time reigning NBA MVP generated totals of 40 points, 27 rebounds, and […]

Zach LaVine didn’t hide his disappointment after the Chicago Bulls suffered their fourth straight loss on Sunday. Three players, including LaVine, scored 20 or more points for the Bulls against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The problem was there’s no defense played in the contest as the Wolves also had their way on the offensive end. Chicago […]

Nikola Jokic is the reigning NBA MVP having won the award now in back to back seasons, and on Sunday he added to his legacy with a monster game in the Denver Nuggets 119-115 win against the Charlotte Hornets. Jokic’s stat line of 40 points, 27 rebounds and ten assists made him the first player […]

Minnesota Timberwolves fans are left satisfied by the performance of their team Monday night, with the T’wolves destroying the Chicago Bulls at home, 150-126.

Christmas came early this year 💙 pic.twitter.com/cqYLaiPyYF — […]

Kevin Durant had the whole NBA Twitterverse buzzing with his unreal scoring streak that propelled the Brooklyn Nets to the comeback win against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

Anthony Edwards put on a show on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 150-126 home victory. It was simply one of those nights for Edwards where he feels like no one’s going to stop him as much as he did on his way to this windmill dunk late in […]

The Golden State Warriors, obviously, aren’t going anywhere without Stephen Curry. But given how Jordan Poole played on Sunday, the possibility of the defending champions successfully weathering the storm of their franchise player’s absence suddenly seems a lot more realistic. Jordan Poole and the short-handed Warriors earned one of their most complete wins of the […]

Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic is always a problem for opposing teams. After all, he is the reigning two-time NBA MVP. On Sunday night, it’s the Charlotte Hornets’ turn to get the experience of how it feels like to be futile in attempts to slow down the Serbian center. In just the first half […]

With Sunday’s win against the Indiana Pacers, the New York Knicks have now won seven consecutive games and eight of their last ten overall.

Even Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant couldn’t help but be in awe of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving after the two dominated in the Brooklyn Nets’ Sunday showdown with the Detroit Pistons.

Bojan Bogdanovic has been mentioned in trade rumors throughout this season, even as he signed a two-year contract extension with the Detroit Pistons that will keep him on the roster at least through the 2024-25 season.

It’s another season in the NBA, and it’s another year of the Washington Wizards being in the middle of the pack.

The Philadelphia 76ers are on a roll despite injuries to key players. Tyrese Maxey is still recovering from a foot injury and other guys are dealing with smaller injuries that keep them out of games.
