Sauce Gardner faces perhaps his biggest NFL challenge this week when the New York Jets visit the Minnesota Vikings.

The New York Jets have achieved one of their goals this season. They will be playing meaningful football games in the month of December.

The Boston Celtics own the best record in the NBA at 17-4, and they’ve done it all without starting center Robert Williams III. Boston’s injured big man is inching towards a return, though, as he was even seen scrimmaging at practice earlier Wednesday. In what’s surely a welcome sight for Celtics fans, Williams was seen […]

Justin Jefferson very well may be the most talented wide receiver in the NFL. But the New York Jets just may have the right dose of kryptonite to handle the Minnesota Vikings’ Superman this Sunday. Jets coach Robert Saleh thinks highly of his dynamic cornerback pairing of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. “I’ll put our […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have done well with their key stars injured but are now starting to get them back. With Joel Embiid back on the court after missing a week, James Harden is nearing a return after missing a month of action for the Sixers with a foot injury. He has a target date for […]

Good news for the Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James is listed as probable for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers — and it’s not because of the ankle injury he suffered on Monday. Instead, LeBron is only cited with the left adductor strain that caused him to miss five games before returning last Friday. […]

Typically the first thought that many people have when they’re set to receive some more income is what to do with it.

[…]

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham is considering a notable change to his starting lineup — and, no, he won’t be moving Russell Westbrook back into it.

The NBA is a star-powered league these days, but the Boston Celtics’ bench has been just as pivotal to the team’s hot start during the 2022-23 season. While Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have played phenomenally for the C’s, the guys coming off the pine are also putting up ridiculous numbers that have boosted Boston […]

However, despite his growing status as the greatest scorer of all […]

Bill Belichick […]

Murphy’s law goes as such: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time.” The namesake of the timeless adage (Edward A. Murphy) was talking about aerospace engineering, but it could very well apply to the Los Angeles Lakers’ brutal loss to the Indian Pacers on Monday at Crypto.com Arena. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers took a major step back on Monday night, dropping to 7-12 the moment rookie Andrew Nembhard hit a miraculous buzzer-beating three-pointer to cap a 17-point fourth-quarter comeback and deliver the Indiana Pacers an improbable 116-115 win at Crypto.com Arena. The loss hurts in the standings and in the morale department, but […]

Mac Jones has the full support of his New England Patriots teammates even if his second season in the league hasn’t gone the way he’d like so far.

New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty has pretty much seen it all over the course of his 13-year NFL career. He got a look at something new on Monday, though.

Kevin Durant is no stranger to putting the Brooklyn Nets on his back.

Monday was another one of those nights for Durant. The former MVP dropped 45 points on 19-of-24 […]

James Wiseman is averaging 15.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 26.1 minutes per game since being sent down to the G League two weeks ago.

The Philadelphia 76ers are rolling despite their star players suffering from injuries. The team’s top three scores were out ahead of Ben Simmons’ highly anticipated return and a short road trip, yet they held their ground and played well despite tough circumstances. As the Sixers prepare to face the Hawks for the third time this […]

Robert Saleh is not about to anoint Mike White the No. 1 quarterback of the New York Jets. Even after a dynamic season debut by White in Week 12, the Jets coach left the door ajar for Zach Wilson to reclaim the top spot at some point this season. “This is Mike White’s opportunity, that […]

Anthony Davis missed the Los Angeles Lakers’ previous game — a win over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday — after being listed as questionable on the injury report with a left calf contusion he suffered the night before (also a win over the Spurs at the AT&T Center).

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Clippers are hitting the road for a post-Thanksgiving back-to-back set against the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz.

FOXBOROUGH – A couple weeks ago, Rhamondre Stevenson made a bit of a stunning admission – at least for a player that plays in New England.

FOXBOROUGH – The last time the New England Patriots’ defense shared the field with the Buffalo Bills’ offense, it didn’t go well.

FOXBOROUGH – New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson’s improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 has been nothing short of outstanding, and it sounded like he got as heavy of a compliment as possible from his head coach the other.

Shake Milton is the hero the Philadelphia 76ers need. With Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey all out due to injury, Milton is leading the Sixers offense as both a scorer and playmaker. The team is winning despite being heavily undermanned and Milton is the key reason why. Philadelphia’s 133-103 win against the Orlando […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn was fired up prior to his team’s matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday. “Can I lace them up today!
