Anthony Davis exited the Los Angeles Lakers’ win vs. the Denver Nuggets on Friday night at halftime with a right foot injury, the team said shortly after the third quarter got underway. Davis came up limping after an early layup on Nikola Jokic. He scored 10 points in the first quarter but didn’t have a […]

PHILADELPHIA — Make it four wins in a row for the Philadelphia 76ers. A 118-106 win over the Golden State Warriors gives the Sixers their longest winning streak of the season. Joel Embiid and James Harden came together to lead Philly to victory. Embiid led the way with 34 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors faced off on ESPN and provided a mostly close contest despite the teams missing a combined five starters due to injuries.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Thirty-one games through the 2022-23 NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers still have more questions than answers. And now, frustration is mounting on the team as they continue to play shorthanded without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Thursday night’s game between the Clippers and Phoenix Suns marked the ninth game this […]

The Dallas Cowboys fly to Jacksonville on Sunday in search of a much more impressive win than their Week 14 squeaker over Houston at home in Week 14. Meanwhile the Jags are fresh off Trevor Lawrence’s best game as a pro in an impressive win over the Tennessee Titans. The Jags are a team that […]

Mike White revealed he has fractured ribs and that is why he won’t start at quarterback for the New York Jets on Sunday. Coach Robert Saleh announced earlier Friday that Zach Wilson will start against the Detroit Lions but didn’t get into specifics about White’s injury. White also told reporters that he went to 10 […]

The Brooklyn Nets are on a tear, posting the NBA’s best record (11-3) over their last 14 games. After a 1-5 start that saw head coach Steve Nash fired, Brooklyn now sits just a half-game back of Cleveland for third place in the Eastern Conference. With that, we took some questions from Brooklyn fans in […]

Mike White may not agree, but there’s one major reason why the quarterback is not starting for the New York Jets this week. He needs to be protected from himself. White was ruled out for the Jets game Sunday against the Detroit Lions because of a rib injury. The 27-year-old was cleared for practice by […]

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones went from playing under one of the most accomplished offensive coordinators in NFL history as a rookie to playing in an unusual and inexperienced (at least offensively) coaching setup in Year 2. The transition from Josh McDaniels to Matt Patricia and Joe Judge has been rocky for Jones and […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have improved their report card for the 2022-23 season within the last few weeks. After a 2-10 start — defined by historically inept 3-point shooting, trade speculation, a flu bug, and an injury to LeBron James — Darvin Ham’s squad has rebounded. They won seven of nine against a light schedule, […]

New England Patriots star linebacker Matthew Judon began his Thursday by sending a complaint to the league. Judon, who’s tied for the league lead in sacks, tweeted a screenshot of an email saying that he’d been selected for a random drug test – again. “Dear @NFLPA @NFL, leave me the F alone please,” Judon wrote in the […]

The Charlotte Hornets received great news before their matchup with the Detroit Pistons with LaMelo Ball being cleared to return to action from his ankle injury. Ball came to play after missing the last 11 games, finishing with a double-double of 23 points and 11 assists. Ball did not miss a beat after missing all […]

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker is having loads of fun as the holiday season rapidly approaches. On and off the court, the Sixers’ veteran is enjoying himself in ways unique to him: sneakers, fashion and hard-nosed hoops. On Thursday, Tucker and the SNIPES store at Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia teamed up to provide 10 […]

The Brooklyn Nets are expected to post their first clean injury report of the season heading into a matchup with Toronto Friday. Royce O’Neale was the only player on the injury report for Monday’s Nets win over Washington, missing the Nets’ last two games due to personal reasons. Head coach Jacque Vaughn said Wednesday that […]

CAMDEN, NJ — Philadelphia 76ers fans are eagerly anticipating Tyrese Maxey’s return from injury. The rising star guard is still recovering from an injury in his left foot. The Sixers miss the scoring burst he brings to the lineup but unfortunately should not expect him back soon. At the team’s Thursday practice, Doc Rivers made […]

The NBA trade season is about to begin. The Philadelphia 76ers, like most teams, will be looking to upgrade their team. Sadly, the Sixers don’t have the flexibility or assets to make any move they want, so the pickings are slim. With no first-round picks to trade within the next six seasons and just a few […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to make moves before the 2022-23 NBA trade deadline on Feb. 9. In the interim, unofficial trade season begins Thursday, when a crop of last summer’s free agent signings become eligible to be dealt (the next wave hits on Jan. 15). The Lakers (11-16) have shown recent signs of […]

New England Patriots rookie left guard Cole Strange might be the figurehead of what’s been an up-and-down season for the team’s offensive line. The first-round pick received praise in the early part of the season as he was a force in the ground game, leading the way for Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris to get […]

The New England Patriots got some reinforcements at practice on Wednesday, including one player that’s been out for a couple of months. Christian Barmore practiced for the first time since being placed on injured reserve on Nov. 18. The second-year defensive tackle has been out since he suffered an injury in the Patriots’ Week 6 […]

The first two months of 2022-23 have been far tougher for the Golden State Warriors than anyone imagined. If Stephen Curry is out for an extended period, though, the 14-15 defending champions might still have new depths to reach. Curry left his team’s 125-119 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday late in the third […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Indiana Pacers 125-119 on Wednesday night, squandering an early lead and coming up short on a vigorous late-game rally. The defending champions, unfortunately, might have lost a lot more than the second leg of a tough road back-to-back as two pivotal starters watched from the bench in street […]

Have you ever wondered just how brightly the Larry O’Brien Trophy shines in person? Whether you could pull off wearing the glitziest, highest-carat NBA championship ring in league history? How about what it’s like to be a Splash Brother, raining jumpers under pressure on the Chase Center hardwood? The Golden State Warriors and Confirmed360 make […]

The Boston Celtics squandered a 20-point lead against the rival Los Angeles Lakers in what was easily their wildest game of the season. However, Marcus Smart and the Celtics fought back and got the victory on the road, all while their starting point guard was on the verge of throwing up. During a crazy battle […]

For the second time in a week, Anthony Davis let the Los Angeles Lakers down at the free-throw line in the final seconds. Yet, LeBron James isn’t about to lose confidence in his teammate. Davis missed a free throw in the closing seconds of regulation in the Lakers’ overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on […]

One could make the case that the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent overtime losses to the Philadelphia 76ers (in Philly on Friday) and the Boston Celtics (at home on Tuesday) marked moral victories for Darvin Ham’s 11-16 squad. In fact, I have made the case. LeBron James vehemently disagrees. Both games had glaring similarities. Back in […]

It looked like the Los Angeles Lakers (11-16) were going to be predictably outclassed by the Boston Celtics (22-7) on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Los Angeles was roasted in the first half and trailed the league’s best team by 20 points in the third quarter. Then the unimaginable happened — even by NBA regular-season […]

The officials definitely didn’t cost the Golden State Warriors a second straight win against a potential NBA Finals opponent. Steve Kerr, to be clear, wasn’t suggesting otherwise on the postgame podium. But in the aftermath of his team’s wholly dispiriting 128-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the Warriors head coach—whistled for a first […]

The Golden State Warriors were blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, falling 128-111 at Fiserv Forum in a game still not as close as that lopsided final score suggests. Here are three reactions to Golden State’s ugly loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on the first leg of a road back-to-back. Unacceptable […]

After easily dispatching of the league-leading Boston Celtics last weekend, the Golden State Warriors face another challenge from a potential NBA Finals counterpart. Andrew Wiggins won’t be back for his team’s road matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, still sidelined by an adductor strain that robs the defending champions of their top wing defender. […]

Even though the New England Patriots defeated the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night, Mac Jones showed some frustration for the second straight game with the team’s offensive operation. Jones was heard dropping the f-bomb after calling a timeout to avoid a delay-of-game penalty on the Patriots’ third play following halftime. When New England’s offense went […]

Mac Jones and the New England Patriots walked out of Arizona with a 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday, though it didn’t come without a struggle or frustration. On the Patriots’ third play of their opening drive of the second half, New England was forced to call a timeout as the play clock was […]

One of the New England Patriots’ pass rushers is tied for the league lead in sacks, yet it was a different player who got three sacks in their 27-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. Josh Uche had three sacks and a couple pressures in New England’s win, continuing his dominant stretch which […]

The New England Patriots got contributions from everyone in their 27-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night, especially their rookies. Rookie running backs Pierre Strong Jr. and Kevin Harris each rushed for touchdowns. Cornerback Marcus Jones recorded his first career interception as he was able to hold his ground with All-Pro receiver DeAndre […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics came into Monday night’s matchup against Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers with a 21-6 record. After the loss to the Golden State Warriors, many expected a bounce-back game against an up-and-down Clippers team. Instead, Kawhi Leonard came out and posted season highs in points (25), rebounds (nine), […]

This past Sunday, the Denver Broncos suffered their fifth consecutive loss. This week the loss came at the hands of the Broncos’ division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs came into the game with a 13-game win streak over the Broncos, and unfortunately, the streak wasn’t able to be snapped. For the first half […]

LOS ANGELES – The Boston Celtics’ tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have taken the NBA by storm this season. Both have performed at the highest levels, propping Boston to the top of the league. For at least one night, however, Los Angeles Clippers’ stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George reminded everyone what they’re […]

Even though the New England Patriots won by two scores over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night, it didn’t come without any frustration. Quarterback Mac Jones was seen by the broadcast cameras yelling expletives multiple times for the second straight week. Jones’ use of the f-bomb on Monday didn’t cause as much of a blowup as […]

There were many injuries in the New England Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. Luckily for the Patriots, none of the injuries their players suffered appeared to be as serious as the one the Cardinals sustained from their most important player. Rookie cornerback Jack Jones suffered a knee injury in the […]

Monday’s anticipated matchup between the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals saw a lot of the buzz evaporate on just the third play of the game.
