FOXBOROUGH – In the New England Patriots first game after the bye week, several people wondered what they would do – if anything – to help fix their offensive woes. They answered that question shortly before kickoff. Left tackle Trent Brown wasn’t working with the starting unit in warmups less than 30 minutes before kickoff […]

Attacking the rim, pushing the pace, grabbing rebounds, creating for teammates, defending – this is the Ben Simmons the Brooklyn Nets envisioned for the 2022-23 season.

The Golden State Warriors got their first road win of 2022-23 on Sunday, clawing back to beat the Houston Rockets 127-120. Even better?

The floodgates opened for a scorching Klay […]

FOXBOROUGH – After undergoing a “full audit” of himself during his team’s bye week, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones felt like he improved in some areas but left some room to be desired in other areas in Sunday’s 10-3 win over the New York Jets.

New England Patriots center David Andrews left Sunday’s win over the New York Jets early, and while the team didn’t provide an immediate update, the initial reporting doesn’t sound good.

Zach Wilson did not win over his teammates either during or after the New York Jets’ 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Marcus Jones had one goal in mind before he went out to return a punt that resulted in the game-winning touchdown for the New England Patriots against the New York Jets on Sunday: Don’t fumble it. “My first thing was ball security, so making sure I tracked the ball and everything because the wind was […]

Kyrie Irving will return to the Brooklyn Nets’ starting lineup Sunday after an eight-game suspension. The Nets posted a 5-3 record without Irving, who has been at the center of a month-long media circus following his posts of an antisemitic film. Irving issued a lengthy public apology before Brooklyn listed the guard as available for […]

Quite simply, the New York Jets’ offense stunk Sunday. So much so that head coach Robert Saleh did not pull punches with his evaluation after a 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots. “Dog s***,” Saleh answered when asked how New York’s offense performed. Robert Saleh on the Jets' second-half offense: "It was dogs—." pic.twitter.com/I16QvZ6nWt […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ offense is in peril as James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris battle injuries. The last two healthy starters, Joel Embiid and P.J. Tucker, have a lot of slack to pick up for the Sixers. Embiid is unquestionably up for the challenge. Tucker…not so much. Tucker has gone three straight games without […]

Kyrie Irving will officially return to the Brooklyn Nets from his eight-game suspension Sunday vs. the Memphis Grizzlies. The team suspended the seven-time All-Star on Nov. 3 for his posts linking to an antisemitic film, deeming the guard “unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets.” Irving addressed the media Sunday for the first time since […]

LOS ANGELES — Before joining the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency, Kawhi Leonard was on a path toward become a legend under Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs.

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia 76ers’ winning streak was ended at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 112-109. Minnesota came super close to blowing a 20-point lead but the Sixers couldn’t finish the job. The Sixers are not ones to seek out or enjoy moral victories, especially after a performance where they […]

PHILADELPHIA – Despite a strong effort to make it a close game, the Philadelphia 76ers couldn’t overcome injuries to key players to snatch a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Joel Embiid stuffed the stat sheet and the Sixers got huge games from the emergency starting backcourt of Shake Milton and De’Anthony Melton, but it wasn’t […]

The Los Angeles Clippers just got Kawhi Leonard back from injury, but they’ll have to play the remainder of Saturday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team ruled George out of the Spurs game at halftime with right knee soreness. George played the first half and didn’t show any signs of being limited, […]

So much for Draymond Green losing his clout in the Golden State Warriors’ locker room after his preseason punch to Jordan Poole. The Warriors put together perhaps their finest performance of the season on Friday at Chase Center, beating the New York Knicks 111-101 in a wire-to-wire victory. The biggest story from a true team […]

The Golden State Warriors have only just begun digging themselves out of an early-season hole.

It was all smiles for the Los Angeles Lakers (4-10) after they pulled away from the Detroit Pistons (3-13) for a much-needed 128-121 victory at Crypto.com Arena on Friday. Perhaps, even, an appropriate opportunity to kick back and pour an earned, chilled glass of Lobos to cap off a successful evening at the office. Well, […]

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia 76ers are on a roll right now and Joel Embiid is the one generating the bulk of the momentum. The Sixers’ superstar center is absolutely dominating right now. Yes, the insane, high-volume scoring is obviously there and he is starting to turn it on defensively but what’s really making his last […]

The floodgates ultimately didn’t open the way Klay Thompson promises they will. Still, after his encouraging performance in the Golden State Warriors’ 111-101 win over the New York Knicks on Friday, there’s reason to believe Thompson’s early-season struggles will soon subside for good. Thompson scored 20 points in his team’s wire-to-wire victory, going 8-of-16 from […]

Joel Embiid is on a total heater right now. The Philadelphia 76ers’ big man is not only leading the team to wins but is putting up some absurd stat lines. In the Sixers’ 110-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, Embiid went for a hat trick of superb games and made some history in the process. […]

Los Angeles Lakers’ center Anthony Davis is living in the paint 13 games into the 2022-23 season. That’s exactly where the Lakers want him — and where he wants to be. AD — who has exclusively played center amid Ham’s four-out, one-in system — has curtailed his jumpers (he’s 4-of-16 from 3) and made a […]

The first month of 2022-23 hasn’t exactly gone the way Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors hoped. Instead of lamenting his team’s rough early-season struggles, why shouldn’t Golden State’s favorite loudmouth continue basking in the afterglow of winning another title? That’s the tack Green took on the latest episode of Uninterrupted’s Throwing Bones, explaining in […]

Darrelle Revis passed the torch to Sauce Gardner. From a legendary New York Jets cornerback to the next great New York Jets corner. “I think the sky’s the limit for him,” Revis said Friday. “I think he can take on that legacy as being a New York Jet great.” .@Revis24 on @iamSauceGardner: "The sky's the […]

Questions surrounding Ben Simmons’ slow start had ramped up in recent weeks for the Brooklyn Nets.

[…]

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Clippers started the season with a 2-4 record, with Kawhi Leonard playing in only two of those games.

Through 16 […]

It’ has been another season shrouded in storm clouds for the Los Angeles Lakers. Lonnie Walker IV, however, is providing an energizing ray of sunshine while helping the Lakers “dance through the rain.” The 23-year-old shooting guard is averaging 16.5 points (6.8 above his career average) in 31 minutes per game. He’s shooting 47.2% from […]

FOXBOROUGH – When you lead the NFL in sacks it likely means that you’ve recorded a sack in most, if not every game. That’s true for New England Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon. He leads the NFL in sacks with 11.5 so far this season and has a sack in seven of the nine games […]

FOXBOROUGH – Rhamondre Stevenson has been a stud in his first two seasons with the New England Patriots, even if he’s running in a climate that might not be his favorite.
