Latest news and updates about the Kings
DeMar DeRozan recently passed Tim Duncan in the All-Time scoring list, and should pass Dominique Wilkins and Oscar Robertson this season, if he’s not shut down by the tanking Kings. It’s not surprising to see one of the best scorers of his generation potentially cracking the top 15 next season, but what makes DeRozan’s story […]
The Brooklyn Nets just couldn’t hold back any longer. After 10 straight losses, some being utter blowouts and others gut-wrenching fumbles at the goal line, the Nets returned home from their road trip heads hanging. Few fans want them winning games right now, and even fewer expect them to, but for the guys on the […]
There’s a certain comedy in the agony for Nets fans right now, and frankly, all fans of tanking teams. There has to be. Otherwise it would really be a brutal watch… assuming you’re still watching. Typing out this sentence feels wrong, but it’s the reality: the Brooklyn Nets need to lose tonight. And not just […]
The rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may be falling apart. If it does, we should be glad. In February, the streaming giant Netflix announced that the two would fight again on September 19 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with Mayweather announcing around the same time that he was “resuming his boxing career” […]

Back home. The Brooklyn Nets wrapped up their four game West Coast road trip with a late night affair against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nets gave the Lakers a good fight, but not good enough to come away with a win. The losing streak is at ten. The opponent tonight is counting the clock […]
Even after Thursday night’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks have remained one of the hottest teams in the league over the last couple of months. Thankfully, that has helped distract some fans from focusing too much on the absence of backup guard Deuce McBride, who has been out since January with a sports […]
The late Bill Walton occupies a unique place in basketball history. He ranks with the greatest centers – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others – but injuries greatly limited his career. But when he was healthy, he was indisputably great. Boston Celtics teammate Robert Parish was speaking to former Celtic […]
With Illinois reaching the Final Four tonight, we re-post this interview of Deron Willliams, discussing about Brad Underwood. In the Illini nation, the opinion of Deron Williams will always hold sway. The greatest NBA player in Illini basketball history, or at least for the modern era, he is what you would call “a club legend.” […] The post Deron Williams Waiting for Brad Underwood, Illini to get over March Madness Hump appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Saturday evening to face the Sacramento Kings. The Hawks were coming into this game after a tough loss against the Boston Celtics yesterday, and they were looking to get back on track against a team who hasn’t played well. The Kings have had a long injury list throughout […]
The Atlanta Hawks (41-33) really ought to handle the lottery-bound Sacramento Kings (19-55), but crazier things have happened. Dyson Daniels (left great toe sprain), Onyeka Okongwu (left index finger sprain), and Jonathan Kuminga (left knee injury management) have all been ruled out for this game. Starting lineup: Please join in the comments below as you […]
The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up a set of back-to-back games against the New York Rangers on Friday night. In the house of the worst home team in the NHL, the Hawks have a chance to make amends for last night’s turnover debacle . The last time these two met was a 3-0 shutout for Chicago at the United Center on Dec. 3. The New York Rangers were having an up-and-down start to the season. Since then, it’s been mostly down. The Rangers sit in 31st place with 65 points and were officially elimin...
At the bank this morning the teller was talking about movies and asked if I’d seen Sinners. When I said I had, she asked what I thought of it. For better or worse, our expectations not only shape our realities, they often become them. I haven’t met anyone who’s seen Sinners and not enjoyed it; […]
It’s not quite a Friday news dump, but it might as well be one. In his latest attempt to thwart tanking, NBA commissioner Adam Silver leaked a few new rules he plans to implement to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Here are lots of words: Like everything else the NBA does — see: the current CBA, All-Star […]
Before tonight, the Knicks (48*-26) had won seven consecutive games. Admittedly, some of those foes were lightweight competition. The Hornets (39-34) had won four straight and compiled a 22-6 record since late January. Charlotte had the fourth-best offensive rating, New York had the third. We were salivating for a shootout at the Spectrum Center. Truth […]

The NBA is about to get a whole lot more interesting. After plenty of foreshadowing that this would be coming, Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Wednesday that the league’s owners had voted for the next step toward expansion in fielding bids and applicants. This would add two more teams to the Western Conference, and […]
Stephon Castle is having himself a season. He has followed up his Rookie of the Year with improvements to every aspect of this game. Averaging 16.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists sounds great, but for a player like Castle, it just doesn’t tell the whole story. Currently, he doesn’t shoot particularly well, averaging a […]
Taking care of business against the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings has given the Sixers a shot at new life. It may not be likely that they’re able to climb out of the Play-In tournament in the Eastern Conference, but it’s a lot more possible than it was a week ago. It’s good to have […]

Former #1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Markelle Fultz signed a 10-Day contract with the Toronto Raptors yesterday after spending time with their G-League affiliate this season. The last time Fultz played in the NBA was with the Sacramento Kings in the 2024-25 season where he averaged 2.9 points in 21 games. Although the […]
Jordi Fernández was a big fan of the Brooklyn Nets’ performance against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday evening, a hard-fought game that resulted in a 126-122 Kings victory. The head coach described it as “very positive,” and it was easy to see why. Ben Saraf turned in a career-best performance as did Malachi Smith, Ziaire […]
The Nets lost (or won) depending on how you look at it against the Kings. We’re in the final stretch and guys are going down. Egor Demin is done for the year, Michael Porter Jr. is out at least 2-3 weeks, and Danny Wolf left the game with an ankle sprain. We’ll see what these […]
Today is one of the biggest days of the season for the Brooklyn Nets for the lamest of reasons. As the regular season inches closer to its conclusion, all moves made in the “tank race” fall under increased magnification. With Brooklyn facing the Sacramento Kings, who sat just a half game behind Brooklyn entering tonight’s […]
While all eyes are likely on Darryn Peterson headlining against St. John’s, the Nets are quietly playing the most important game of the season strictly because of lottery odds. Sacramento won two in a row and suddenly they have a game on Brooklyn. Tonight can change all of that. We have a thread dedication to […]
