Nine months too late. That’s the painful truth for Dallas Mavericks fans after the firing of general manager Nico Harrison, whose decision to trade Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a single first-round pick will likely go down as one of the most disastrous moves in modern NBA […]

The Golden State Warriors lost another road game this season, and it marked their sixth consecutive road loss. The Warriors have been up and down this season, and after starting off strong, things have seemingly cooled down for them. Draymond Green has never been shy of sharing his thoughts, and after the 126-102 loss to […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr provided an update on Draymond Green’s health following the team’s lopsided 126-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, confirming that Green is “banged up” and could miss the upcoming matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. After a physical stretch of games and a disappointing road trip, Kerr said […]

The New York Knicks have found their rhythm. Not only have they won their past five games, they’ve won them all by double digits. On Tuesday, it was the Memphis Grizzlies’ turn to get blitzed by this new and improved Knicks team under new head coach Mike Brown, as New York took a 133-120 win […]

Brandon Ingram became the subject of plenty of criticism over the weekend after his outburst led to a deplorable action involving a game attendant. During the Toronto Raptors’ 130-120 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers this past Saturday, Ingram was so filled with anger to the point where he slammed a water bottle while he was […]

The Denver Nuggets are humming, just as everyone expected, and Nikola Jokic is rolling. They have now won five consecutive games, with Jokic playing at an MVP level yet again. On Tuesday night, Jokic literally could barely miss. He finished with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists while making 16 of his 19 shots […]

Donovan Mitchell has been playing his heart out for the Cleveland Cavaliers to begin the 2025-26 season, perhaps to dampen the sting that remains from the heartbreaking manner in which they exited the 2025 NBA playoffs. But before Mitchell blossomed into one of the best players in the association, he was a nascent guard plying […]

The Golden State Warriors are in a murky place right now. That tends to be the case after a wholly uncompetitive 126-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, their sixth loss of the season and sixth loss on the road thus far. In what was supposed to serve as a “measuring stick game” between themselves […]

Had Mark Cuban remained in charge of the Dallas Mavericks as the majority owner, the Luka Doncic trade would not have happened. Alas, Cuban lost control of the team’s basketball operations when he surrendered majority ownership of the team to Patrick Dumont. Dumont then greenlit Nico Harrison’s decision to trade Doncic away to the Lakers. […]

Brandon Ingram isn’t very popular among fans at the moment. This past weekend, during the Toronto Raptors’ 119-109 a clip of Ingram slamming a water bottle out of anger on the sidelines. The Raptors forward hit a game attendant with the water bottle and splashed him, which was already deplorable in and of itself. But […]

Free agent signee Luke Kornet has officially played in just three games for the San Antonio Spurs. Keyword: officially, because Kornet did see action in the team’s preseason games. Despite the short sample size, the 7-foot-center has already made an impression on generational talent Victor Wembanyama. “Yeah, for sure. It’s good to have him back. […]

OKLAHOMA CITY — Against the Golden State Warriors, Chet Holmgren’s 23 points on a perfect 9-for-9 attempts helped the Oklahoma City Thunder secure its 11th win of the regular season, improving to 11-1 as defending champions. Amidst the Thunder’s best start in franchise history, Holmgren’s perfect performance against the Warriors was the kind of individual […]

On Tuesday morning, the Dallas Mavericks fanbase finally got what it’s long been craving for — the firing of general manager Nico Harrison. Harrison set the Mavericks on this Luka Doncic-less path with his asinine decision to trade away their franchise cornerstone, and now they’re struggling to the tune of a 3-8 start to the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers, for as long as Joel Embiid is on the roster, will always want to be on the hunt for a championship. Their 7-4 start to the season is impressive in that regard, as Embiid is yet to go full-tilt since the start of the new campaign, with Philly still limiting his workload. […]

When NBA teams invite players to training camp, the harsh reality is the majority of them don’t really have a chance at making the team’s final roster. But with the continued growth and expansion of the G League, it’s given NBA teams the option to keep some of those players under their umbrella and monitor […]

The Boston Celtics suffered their seventh loss of the season when they were defeated by the Philadelphia 76ers 102-100 on Tuesday night. However, this time, they came quite close to actually bringing it level towards the end. With the Celtics trailing by two points with seconds left on the clock, Derrick White initially dropped the […]

Firing Nico Harrison is unlikely to fix the Dallas Mavericks in the near future. This squad is plagued by injuries and will have no shot at surviving the onerous Western Conference unless they can stay relatively healthy for an extended period of time. Ownership should know there is no easy solution to this 3-8 start […]

The Philadelphia 76ers, all things considered, are having a strong start to the 2025-26 season. They moved to 7-4 on the year after taking another cardiac victory over the Boston Celtics, 102-100, on Tuesday night. What makes this 7-4 start to the new campaign that much more impressive is that Joel Embiid continues to be […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ 2025–26 NBA season has quickly descended into chaos, and the firing of Nico Harrison has compounded their terrible start to the season. While there may be plenty of questions about why the move was not made earlier, the focus now shifts to the future, and the present. The Mavericks have suffered a […]

After they sputtered towards the end of the 2024-25 season, a slow start is not what the Memphis Grizzlies envisioned they would have entering the new campaign. But with Ja Morant looking like a shell of his former self as he battles frustrations towards the coaching staff and his team’s play, the Grizzlies are entering […]

The New York Knicks are hitting their stride. After a bit of a slow start to the new campaign under new head coach Mike Brown, the Knicks are finally playing with a level of consistency and excellence befitting of a powerhouse team. On Tuesday night, they took care of business rather handily against the floundering […]

Fans looking for any positive signs from the Memphis Grizzlies were left with only a silver lining on Veterans’ Day. A 133-120 loss to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden was a pretty sour bite from the Big Apple, as was the injury update on Brandon Clarke. However, Tuomas Iisalo did provide a […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is not exactly what one would view as a bruiser. He can play physical and he can get down and dirty when it gets to it, but he prefers to play with finesse and flair. He has Draymond Green anyway to take care of the bruising aspect of the […]

The NBA is making a big change to its All-Star Game format. In the 2026 edition of the All-Star Game, fans will be able to watch USA stars take on the best of the rest of the world, the league announced on Tuesday. “The 2026 NBA All-Star Game will debut a new U.S. vs. World […]

Some help is on the way for the Indiana Pacers for their Tuesday night matchup against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Veteran point guard TJ McConnell is suiting up for his first game in the 2025-26 NBA season — and first since the Pacers made it to the 2025 NBA Finals — as […]

The Milwaukee Bucks surprised NBA fans this offseason by waiving and stretching future Hall of Fame point guard Damian Lillard. The move opened up the team’s financial situation enough to bring in center/forward Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers, a move that received mixed reviews by basketball pundits at the time. But looking at Turner’s […]

The Brooklyn Nets dodged a significant injury to a key contributor. Day’Ron Sharpe exited Sunday’s loss to the New York Knicks with what was reported as left hamstring tightness. However, following evaluation, the team concluded that the injury is a left glute contusion. Sharpe was ruled out for Tuesday’s home matchup with the Toronto Raptors […]

MIAMI – While the Miami Heat’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers will be highlighted by Andrew Wiggins and his game-winning dunk to get the team the victory in overtime on Monday, 140-138, there were many contributions in the game. One of them was bounce-back Heat star Jaime Jaquez Jr., impressing once again after the sophomore […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers will not have Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, or Jaylon Tyson for Wednesday night’s rematch with the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center. Those four will join Max Strus on the sidelines, but only two of them are injured. Mitchell and Mobley are being held out for rest purposes, while Garland […]

On Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison, as reported by ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania.

On Tuesday, Smith continued their feud by weighing in on the Lakers’ current state and what that means for James’ GOAT prospects, per The Ball in […]

Kyrie Irving once said that “basketball isn’t a game; it’s an art form.” This belief obviously demonstrates how players operate on the court, but it goes even deeper, as NBA players need to look the part. This extends to the apparel they wear on the court. The NBA has officially released the City Edition jerseys […]

There was a moment during an episode of The Young Man and The Three podcast when Oklahoma City Thunder guards Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace were asked how much film study goes into their preparation. Wallace’s response left Alex speechless when the third-year guard revealed that he often relies on his own instincts rather than […]

MIAMI – With Andrew Wiggins getting the game-winning dunk for the Miami Heat to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, 140-138, the team had many contributions that led to the victory on Monday night.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Washington Wizards fans dreamed of getting Duke University superstar Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft for months, but the Dallas Mavericks won May’s NBA Draft Lottery instead despite having 12.2 percent worse odds. The Wizards received the No. 6 pick, which was the lowest they […]
