The manner by which the Brooklyn Nets announced their decision to suspend Kyrie Irving just felt like it was going to be more than just a five-game absence.

It looks like Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro’s All-Star aspirations won’t be a dream for long, at least if you’re asking Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. Ahead of the Pacers’ showdown with the Heat on Friday, Carlisle opened up about Herro’s level of play for Miami so far this season. The one-time NBA champion coach […]

When Kevin Durant retracted his trade demand last summer, the idea was that he did so under the premise of having a clean slate with the Brooklyn Nets.

The Chicago Bulls are 5-4 so far in the 2022-23 season, which really isn’t anything to write home about.

The Brooklyn Nets made the astounding move on Thursday to suspend point guard Kyrie Irving for at least five games, amid the anti-semitic scandal he has found himself embroiled in.

The Brooklyn Nets experiment with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving just isn’t working.

It has been a doozy of a week for Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving.

If there was any doubt as to Jamal Murray’s health now that he’s returned from a year-long injury hiatus, then his performance on Thursday night should silence the naysayers.
