Each year, the NBA Cup brings with it some very polarizing court designs across the league. Some teams go for the more subtle route, like the Lakers, while some teams are far more audacious, like the Wolves.

The Lakers took a lot of the buzz out of Friday’s NBA Cup group play finale with their victory over the Clippers on Tuesday.

The Lakers finally got their full team healthy for the first time this season, but that lasted all of one-and-a-half games. Deandre Ayton’s injury halted the team’s chance to finally see their starting five together, but it appears to only be a short-term absence as head coach JJ Redick said he expects the big man […]

Anfernee Simons is a quality basketball player (as evidenced by his recent play). In particular, he’s exceptionally skilled at scoring the basketball (something a lot of teams have trouble with). In the right situation on the right team he could prove to be very valuable. That team might even be the Boston Celtics (thus 30 […]

NBA injuries are the hottest subject in sports this week.

For some time now, retirement has felt like a very real possibility for LeBron James. He is currently in the last year of his Lakers contract and he didn’t ask for an extension, a break from the norm in his Lakers tenure. LeBron hasn’t flat-out stated he’d play next year or that this is his […]

After losing Deandre Ayton at halftime, the Lakers needed someone to step up in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Jazz. Few people likely expected Maxi Kleber to be that player.

In theory, most would expect a team coming off a four-day break to look refreshed and ready to go. In reality, teams don’t quite operate like that.
