It remains unclear what will happen with Ja Morant. The NBA Trade Deadline is Feb. 5, and the Memphis Grizzlies are open to trading Morant.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 123-112 loss on Monday night, Donovan Mitchell went out of his way to campaign for Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George as a first-time NBA All-Star.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson referenced “the psychology of sports” as a reason for his team’s 123-112 loss to the Utah Jazz at home on Monday night.

The Atlanta Hawks marked the end of an era by trading away Trae Young at perhaps his lowest trade value; they got CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert in return from the Washington Wizards, and the fact that they did not get a single first-round pick, even a heavily-protected one, is quite telling of how the […]

The Los Angeles Clippers came into Monday night’s game against the Charlotte Hornets with a chance to win their ninth game in their last 11.

When fully healthy, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is arguably the most dominant player in the NBA. His combination of size and dexterity makes him nearly impossible to stop.

As the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors duked it out in their second-straight Eastern Conference clash, fans at Scotiabank Arena had one thing they seemingly wanted even more than a win: minutes for franchise legend Kyle Lowry.

Pascal Siakam came to the rescue with a game-winning shot in the Indiana Pacers’ matchup against the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

This time, they sent CJ McCollum’s expiring salary and Corey Kispert’s […]

The calf has been Coby White’s Achilles heel. At the beginning of the season, White was out with a calf injury. He had to sit on the sidelines and see the Bulls get off to an unexpected 6-1 start. Then, as 2025 came to a close, White went out with another calf injury, which was […]
