Changes are coming for the Golden State Warriors’ bench irrespective of when Andre Iguodala returns to the floor. Considering his cryptic tweet following his team’s wholly dispiriting, all-too-familiar loss to the Orlando Magic, though, don’t be surprised if Steve Kerr’s altered rotation soon includes another four-time champion. Iguodala appeared to tease the date for his […]

Kyrie Irving was recently suspended by the Brooklyn Nets for a minimum of five games after he doubled down on his refusal to apologize for tweeting out a link to a documentary spewing anti-Semitic propaganda earlier tonight.

While the season is still in its infancy, the Golden State Warriors’ performances thus far have done little to inspire confidence, especially after they’ve dropped four straight following their most recent 130-129 loss to the previously 1-7 Orlando Magic.

The Orlando Magic pulled off a tasty upset win Thursday night, tripping up the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors at home to the tune of a 130-129 score.

Here is the Top OVR Ratings in NBA 2K23 coming off the […]
