Giannis rumblings aside, it’s been a quiet week for the Atlanta Hawks (14-11), who are enjoying a few days off as part of an unofficial quarter-of-the-season break thanks to the NBA Cup schedule — and boy have they needed a rest. As of last Saturday’s win in Washington, the Hawks were tied with three other […]
This weekend, the USA Basketball Women’s National Team will host a training camp at Duke University in Durham, NC with 17 participating players. It will be the first training camp led by new national team head coach Kara Lawson, who was appointed to the position in September. It’s also the first training camp roster chosen […]
Michigan State (8-1, 1-0) will look to get back in the win column after dropping their first game of the season to Duke last Saturday.

Even if all eyes are on Brooklyn — Nolan Traore is making strides with Long Island, so many in fact that the 19-year-old Frenchmen’s next home game will be at Barclays Center, not Nassau Coliseum. After a strong two weeks with the Nets G League affiliate, Traore was called up Thursday just as the Nets […]
Tis the season. The season of Jordan Walsh. What still feels like a fever dream, Jordan Walsh continues to establish himself as one of the driving forces behind the Celtics’ surge over the past month. There’s a lot to love about what Walsh is doing on the basketball court, so let’s dive into all the […]
Greensboro native Bob McAdoo is, in one sense, the first one-and-done in ACC history: after transferring into UNC from a JUCO, he left after just one season, getting drafted by the Buffalo Braves in 1972 with the #2 pick (in one of the great draft fiascos of all time, LaRue Martin went #1 and Julius […]
Trades are coming to the Dallas Mavericks. Pick at least one player you expect to get traded and one player you think should stay in a Mavericks uniform by the trade deadline. Jack: One player that I expect to get traded is Klay Thompson. While he started the season poorly, he’s been much better as […]

The Boston Celtics are now 24 games into the 2025-26 NBA season, and hold a 15-9 record. They currently sit at third in the Eastern Conference after losing Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet, and Jayson Tatum has yet to log a single minute of game time. Their replacements? Anfernee Simons, Luka […]
We’re still one day away from Cleveland Cavaliers basketball returning to our lives. Until then, we have some frankly mediocre NBA games to hold us over. Today’s game of the day Thursday’s slate of games is rough. I would never advise someone to actually watch Clippers games. But then again, I also can’t recommend watching […]

If it feels like déjà vu all over again when it comes to another Lakers loss, you’re not alone. The purple and gold are quickly developing a habit of losing games to teams with quick, athletic guards, and they do so in pretty convincing fashion. Save for a brief run in the fourth quarter, the […]
LOS ANGELES — Wednesday’s loss to San Antonio had all the ingredients the Lakers cook with in defeat. They defended poorly from deep, allowing the Spurs to shoot 45% from 3-point range and they had a rough end to the first quarter and bad starts to the second and third periods. Another aspect that’s been a […]
The scene as Juventus and Pafos FC walked into the tunnel at halftime of their Champions League matchup on Wednesday has become distressingly familiar. Juve had allowed the Cyprian side—one of the true Cinderella stories of the game this year—to push them around from the word go. The visitors had forced Michele Di Gregorio into […]

The Spurs’ forward said that with the winnings, he’d purchase a llama for his farm. The rest of the team must really want […]
The Silver and Black rode their speed advantage and balanced team play to get past a Los Angeles team that had a great night from their superstars as Luka Doncic scored 35, and LeBron had 19, but they did not get much in the way of contributions from anyone else, except for Marcus Smart who […]
The Lakers struggled defensively on Wednesday against the Spurs, allowing 50% shooting from the field along with 17 made threes to fall to San Antonio, 132-119, in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. A second-quarter run by the Spurs, who were without Victor Wembanyama, opened the game up as LA trailed by double digits for most of […]
The Los Angeles Clippers are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. At 6-18, they’re underperforming with a team that many, myself included, thought would be a solid playoff squad. Instead, they haven’t been able to get going. Kawhi Leonard started off the bad vibes with the Aspiration revelations, then did his usual […]
