Two unicorns each had an extremely rare performance Monday night. On one hand, there’s Kevin Durant, who exploited for 45 points on 19-for-24 shooting from the field and 3-for-5 from deep, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks in just 39 minutes to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 109-102 home win over […]

The Washington Wizards put up a formidable fight against the Boston Celtics on Sunday night, but in the end, the Jayson Tatum-less Celtics proved too strong for the Wizards. In spite of a 33-17 fourth quarter in favor of Washington, the Celtics were still able to hold on to secure a 130-121 win at the […]

The Washington Wizards are off to a better start than what most NBA fans expected. Bradley Beal continues to be the franchise cornerstone of this squad, but it is the duo of Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma who have been magnificent this season. Injuries hindered the progress of Porzingis last year, but his production of […]

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal missed Tuesday’s practice due to injury, sparking some concerns among fans about his condition. Beal is considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat after sustaining a quad contusion in their recent showdown with the Charlotte Hornets. He reportedly took a knee to the quad from Mason Plumlee late […]

The Washington Wizards have surprised some folks thus far this season. The team’s record is 10-7, good for the fifth-best in the Eastern Conference and better than contenders such as the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat. And the Wizards have had great success despite owning a bottom-tier offense (28th in the NBA in points per game).  […]

Dennis Schroder finally made his much-awaited debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday in a 128-121 win over the Detroit Pistons. Before the game, the 29-year-old took to Instagram to share his excitement to take the court. Little did he know that Kyle Kuzma was going to use this as an opportunity to go […]

Kyle Kuzma had a pretty miserable shooting night on Friday, going just 9-of-24 from the field in the Washington Wizards’ 107-106 overtime win against the Miami Heat. Despite his lack of efficiency in the evening, however, it was still Kuz who saved the day for Washington. With the Wizards down three points with less than […]

Everyone knew going into the 2022-23 NBA season that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a special player, but the Oklahoma City Thunder star is exceeding even the lofty expectations people have of him in the preseason. And he is doing it one insane performance after another. On Wednesday night, Gilgeous-Alexander capped yet another spectacular performance with a […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder were locked in a tight contest with the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. The Wizards took a two-point lead with 6.7 seconds to go after Bradley Beal nailed a tough midrange jumper over Luguentz Dort. However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was simply a man on a mission. Entering their final possession with 39 […]

Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism of late. Some fans have been quick to blame the high-ranking executive for the Lakers’ early-season woes. In their minds, Pelinka’s refusal (or inability) to pull the trigger on a significant trade deal is the main reason […]

The Washington Wizards are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. They are winners of their last four, all without their best player and one of the top shooting guards in the NBA, Bradley Beal, who has missed nearly two weeks due to health and safety protocols. However, a recent report suggests that the […]

As of this writing, the Washington Wizards are among the top five teams in the Eastern Conference. They currently carry an 8-6 record and are just half a game behind the Atlanta Hawks for first place in the Southeast Division.

Kyle Kuzma has been huge for the Washington Wizards in their past two games, dropping 36 points on the Dallas Mavericks last Thursday and 23 on the Utah Jazz this Saturday.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in dire straits after tying their worst start in franchise history. Their two wins are tied for the fewest in the entire NBA with the Houston Rockets, a team that likely isn’t complaining about that result like LA is. Amidst the team’s sluggish start, it’s no […]

One of the names flying under the radar this season is Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma. The former Lakers fan-favorite has steadily been improving since he was traded to Washington. During their stunning performance against the Dallas Mavericks, Kuzma had the game of his life, exploding for 36 points. After the game, Kyle Kuzma made […]

The scapegoat of the Los Angeles Lakers has always been the reason why the fans are pissed at their organization. Last year, Frank Vogel was the one yanked from his position as the team’s head coach, and this season it seems that Russell Westbrook is the individual receiving the most criticism and bashing from the […]

The Washington Wizards were without Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis against the Dallas Mavericks, but they did have Kyle Kuzma. He finished with 36 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and five three-pointers.

There are just no two ways about it: the Los Angeles Lakers are really bad. There has been some encouragement of late, particularly on the Russell Westbrook front and his rather surprising decision to embrace his role as a Sixth Man, but the harsh reality for LeBron James and Co. is that at 2-9, they […]

Kristaps Porzingis’ partnership with Luka Doncic may not have panned out the way he imagined it would be, but the now Washington Wizards forward has nothing but respect for the Dallas Mavericks superstar. Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, ahead of their showdown with the Mavs on Thursday, Porzingis talked about the Doncic and how special […]

The expectations for the Minnesota Timberwolves entering the 2022-23 season were heightened exponentially after they swung a blockbuster trade for Rudy Gobert this past offseason. Instead, they have crawled out to a slow start, and have been one of the most disappointing teams to start the year. Many players are struggling, but D’Angelo Russell may […]

We’re only a few weeks into the new season and already, Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma has already found himself on Shatin’ a Fool a couple of times. His latest entry came on Monday night as the 27-year-old struggled mightily to tie his shoe in the second quarter against the Charlotte Hornets. Kuz lost his […]

Washington Wizards’ forward Deni Avdija, who is thought to be the only current Jewish NBA player, shared his take on the Kyrie Irving antisemitism controversy, per The Athletic. “Listen, at the end of the day, I think he’s a role model,” Avdija said. “He’s a great player. I think he did a mistake, but you […]

The 42-point victory is tied for the largest road win in franchise history and the third-largest overall. The win comes as a much-needed morale boost for […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant doesn’t want to take a lot of credit for his insane move that broke Daniel Gafford’s ankles and made the Washington Wizards center touch earth. For those who missed it, Durant undoubtedly had the highlight of the day when he put Gafford on skates late in the first quarter of […]

Washington Wizards stud Kyle Kuzma sent out a seemingly innocent tweet on Thursday about appreciating people while you still can. The inspirational message took a different turn, however, after it got a very intriguing reaction for Kuz’s former Los Angeles Lakers teammate LeBron James. It all started when Kuzma tweeted out a rather cryptic tweet […]

The Washington Wizards came up with a huge win on Wednesday night as they took down a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers in their own home floor.

The Washington Wizards were hosting a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, and the contest presented itself as an opportunity for Kyle Kuzma to build on his strong start to the season. Unfortunately for him, a botched dunk in the third quarter prompted an instant shoutout from Shaqtin’ a Fool on Twitter. Kuz had […]

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon might seem unassuming, but he’s definitely not somebody to be messed with on the court. During a 112-94 victory over the Washington Wizards, the new Celtic showed who he is and posted a season-best 23 points in only 23 minutes. Following the win, former Boston guard Eddie House sounded off […]

The Washington Wizards have had a good start to the 2022-23 season, winning three of their first four games behind some strong play up and down their roster. Unfortunately, that depth has taken a hit, as they lost Delon Wright to a hamstring injury recently. The latest update on Wright’s injury status certainly won’t make […]

If you haven’t seen the LeBron James and Dwyane Wade-produced The Redeem Team documentary on Netflix then I strongly recommend that you do.
