Latest news and updates about the Kings
The first few minutes felt like a track meet tilted entirely in the Spurs’ favor. Inside the friendly confines of the San Antonio Spurs’ weekend home in Austin, the Silver and Black (or teal, orange, and pink) exploded out of the gates Saturday night, racing to an early double-digit lead and would route the Sacramento […]
Sometimes it seems like a really hot start is the worst thing that can happen to the Spurs. After the Spurs started the game on an 11-0 run the Spurs let up a bit and let the Kings back into the game. They got complacent, and the Kings fed off of the Spurs lack of […]
LOS ANGELES — Jayson Tatum appeared on the floor moments before Celtics practice on Saturday and addressed photos showing him seemingly taking part in team activities in San Francisco. He clarified that he didn’t take part in a practice, and rather participated in an optional workout with several Celtics teammates, including Luka Garza. Joe Mazzulla […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs have never won both games in the Moody Center […]
On paper, the Lakers are poised for a huge summer of spending. Through multiple transaction windows, the Lakers have planned for the summer of 2027 as the time when they strike big. The problem with their plan, and one they currently have entirely predicted, is that the unrestricted free agency class is rather underwhelming. It […]
Rudy Gobert picked up another flagrant Friday night. Another suspension. Another entry in what’s quietly become one of the strangest subplots of this Timberwolves season: the Frenchman vs. The Whistle. This time it happened under the basket against Dallas. Gobert and Marvin Bagley III were wrestling for position like two heavyweight boxers in a phone […]
The post-trade deadline time can be a strange one in the NBA. The teams that didn’t make many moves are trying to get ready for the playoffs, hoping to peak at the right time. The ones that shook things up are looking to rediscover an identity or form one for the first time. And then […]
The Wizards returned from the All-Star break with disastrous back-to-back wins in a tête-à-tête against the Indiana Pacers. In the one last night, the Wizards rallied from a 15-point second quarter deficit to win by 13. In the NBA’s 2026 race for the bottom, Washington has fallen to fifth behind the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans […]
LOS ANGELES — With just 28 games left to play coming out of the All-Star break, the Lakers are entering the final phase of the season.

In 2025, I watched the Nike Hoop Summit. The game featured big names like A.J. Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, Cayden Boozer, Koa Peat, Nate Ament, and Chris Cenac. But I tuned in to watch a future Illinois player. I wanted to see the international man of mystery, whom I knew would define the Illini season. The […]
Even All-Stars can be awe-struck by moments with all-time greats. That’s what happened with Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox on Sunday afternoon during the NBA All-Star Game in an event that, gimmicky or not, turned out to be much more exciting than past iterations and produced the best viewer ratings since 2011. The round-robin tournament, with […]
Otega Oweh put together a very impressive first year as a Kentucky Wildcat and nearly turned pro last summer. Instead, he decided to return to Lexington to work on his game and further improve his NBA draft stock. That mission is going incredibly well as he’s increased his points per game, assists and steals averages […]
There was a report from NFL and NBA reporter Evan Sidery claiming that the Texans could have interest in former Colts offensive tackle Braden Smith in free agency. It wouldn’t be surprising at all to see Houston linked to a high-level offensive lineman, and it also wouldn’t be shocking if they were willing to offer […]
It’s been a week off of basketball and a week of FREAKING OUT over hockey???? Those hockey people love chaos, because oh my god the stress?? As I sop up my tears from the Canadian Women losing the gold medal earlier today, another interesting bit of news hit my feed. Apparently, Adam Silver is about […]
The Celtics impressive regular season has been a revelation. I think it is safe to say that a lot of people have earned an extra level of respect this season, starting with Jaylen Brown, Joe Mazzulla, and even Brad Stevens. All of that is wonderful, but this season will largely be remembered by what happens […]
A lot went on in the NBA this past weekend. Of course, there were multiple festivities taking place in Inglewood, CA at the 75th All-Star Weekend. As previously mentioned, Friday was the day the Point God Chris Paul officially announced his retirement after 21 seasons in the NBA. And then there was the incident involving […]
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis is undergoing surgery for a left-knee injury. The procedure will keep him on the sidelines for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

A letter written by the hand of General William Culvahouse Hardy, dated Wednesday, February 18, 2026, C.E. This war is not what it used to be.

For what it is worth, Jayson Tatum has yet to make any announcement about his return to the court this season. He has not ruled out the possibility that he could miss the entire season. That makes sense because any number of setbacks could move his timeline back in an abundance of caution. However, all […]
LOS ANGELES — Last week, Jaylen Brown shared an Instagram story that highlighted the Celtics’ record this year compared to last year. The graphic, created by NBC Sports Boston, compared the 2024-2025 Celtics’ and the 2025-2026 Celtics’ record, net, offensive, and defensive ratings at the All-Star break, ultimately demonstrating how, remarkably, both teams’ on-court success […]
The NBA All-Star Game has not been great for a while. Over the last few years, the players haven’t taken it seriously, leading the league to implement bizarro changes like the Elam Ending or a round-robin tournament including the winner of the Rising Stars challenge. This year, it was a round-robin tournament with an emphasis […]
