Through the never-ending turmoil surrounding the Brooklyn Nets over the last three seasons, Kevin Durant has been the main constant in the team’s success night to night.

Andrew Wiggins has never been known as a shooter.

Before Steve Kerr spoke with reporters prior to tipoff, the prevailing assumption was that Thompson wouldn’t play two games in […]

It’s safe to say Klay Thompson has broken out of his rough early-season slump. Just because he’s found his footing while continuing to re-acclimate from lingering effects of separate major injuries, though, doesn’t mean the Golden State Warriors are ready for Thompson to play in back-to-backs. The Warriors announced that Thompson will sit out Saturday’s […]
