Following the injury to Karl-Anthony Towns, NBA fans and analysts are starting to question the NBA’s 65-game requirement for end-of-season awards.

Players must participate in at least 65 games, being on the court for a minimum […]

The San Antonio Spurs have quite the bright future ahead of them; the Spurs franchise was the one blessed by the lottery gods with the privilege of drafting Victor Wembanyama, the most unique prospect the NBA has ever seen.

At 23-29, the Hawks […]

The Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t get Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray at the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline. However, that doesn’t mean the LA franchise won’t take another run at him this offseason.
