Washington Wizards guard Trae Young is the team’s biggest acquisition since Will Dawkins became the team’s General Manager. However, Young has an MCL sprain in his right knee and has yet to play a game. It’s possible that he may not play until the start of the 2026-27 NBA season. So what are these injuries […]
You love NBA free agency and trades. I love NBA free agency and trades. We all do. Sickos like me love it so much that we delve into legal documents to figure out exactly what is permitted and what isn’t. But all of us want all the information about the team-building options available to our […]
We are just over one calendar year from the Miami Heat dealing Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in a five-team blockbuster.

The Portland Trail Blazers made what many considered a head-scratching move at June’s NBA Draft. Armed with the 11th pick, the Blazers had the opportunity to take names like Cedric Coward, Carter Bryant, Derik Queen and Kasparas Jakucionis. Instead, they struck a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, selecting Coward at 11 and sending him to […]
In a world where nobody agrees on anything, politics, movies, or whether pineapple belongs on pizza, there is one thing that has brought rare, almost suspicious unity to Timberwolves fans: Tim Connelly absolutely cooked at the 2026 NBA trade deadline. For a fan base that has spent the better part of two decades oscillating between […]
The 75th NBA All-Star Game tips off Sunday at 5 p.m. ET from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, where the Clippers play. You can watch it on NBC or stream it on Peacock.

Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala had surgery on Saturday morning after suffering a serious knee injury in Switzerland's game on Friday against Canada . It's official: his NHL season is over. The incident occured in a collision with Canada's Tom Wilson, in which Fiala landed awkwardly. He had to be stretchered off the ice. Nothing dirty about this collision, freak accident, unfortunate outcome. If someone other than Tom Wilson landed on Fiala's leg, there would be no disc...
With the NBA All-Star Game this long weekend, fans get to see an exhibition of the biggest stars in the league. As Washington Wizards fans, well, we know that our team won’t be in it. But at least it’s an interesting game to watch when players choose to put forth a decent effort. Anyway, this […]
The Slam Dunk Contest is taking place today as part of All-Star Weekend and for the second consecutive year, the Spurs have a participant. Last year was Stephon Castle.

The LA Kings are still looking to upgrade and a center is at the top of their needs. Ideally, a center with term would fit nicely in the plans, but even just someone to help with a playoff push and deeper run this season would be of great help as well. According to David Pagnotta, "Charlie Coyle, that's a player that I believe (LA) has some interest in." Coyle is a strong third line center and is able to play as the second line center. He has been doing both his entire career and this season. ...
It’s All-Star Weekend. Give us a break. Not really, we’ll still watch whatever happens at those events. Mike Brown On Diawara’s small details and flashes: “There’s just a lot of little things when you see Mo play that make you go, ‘Oh my gosh, wow.’ And all those things, when you add them up to […]
My grandfather is the one that got me into football. His favorite player was Romário, and he told me once that Romário played in Spain for this club called Barcelona. I was probably six years old. I didn’t think much of it at the time. Fast forward two years to June 2001 in a small […]
This year’s NBA All Star game will be Jaylen Brown’s 5th. Jayson Tatum has been in 6 himself. Newcomer Nikola Vucevic appeared in two. If they are back at normal health next season, I would expect to see Brown and Tatum back in the game. But will there be a 3rd member of the team […]
Chelsea Gray, Allisha Gray, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Plum advanced to the semifinals of Unrivaled’s 1-on-1 Tournament. Edwin Garcia broke down how the four got here—and guaranteed themselves at least $25,000.

We’ve talked before about how Connie Hawkins was mistreated by the basketball establishment. He came out of New York City’s Boys High School and accepted a scholarship to Iowa in 1960, only to get caught up in a point shaving scandal that he clearly had no part of. It was based in and around New […]
It’s been said that basketball season starts the Monday after the Super Bowl. Maybe that’s true, but not in Kentucky. Basketball season is year-round in Kentucky. That said, now is the time we’re going to start to really find out just how good this Wildcats team is. They had their bye week this week, having […]
The NBA has allowed its regular season to be turned into an unwatchable mess. With games having too many stoppages, players missing games due to the poor schedule, and nearly half the league currently tanking for draft picks in early February, changes need to be made to make the season interesting to watch. Here are... The post How To Fix The NBA Regular Season appeared first on League Freak - Covering The NRL, Super League And Rugby League World Wide - LeagueFreak.com .
Hi, everyone. It’s been a while since I had something to say here. The past two years have been pretty difficult for me as a fan. In February 2024, I lost the most important Celtics fan in my life, my dad, and just a few months later, I lost my father-in-law, who was another lifelong […]
Not many people would have guessed that the Boston Celtics would be buyers at this year’s trade deadline, especially after shedding Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis’s contracts to get under the second apron. Some timely breakouts put the Celtics in a position to compete, however, even while the team significantly reduced their payroll. Brad Stevens […]

The rationale for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ decision to trade Darius Garland to the Los Angeles Clippers for James Harden has been dissected ad nauseam. The team believes that they have a small window to win this season. Harden makes them a better team during that time. Garland last played an NBA game on Jan. 14 […]
VJ Edgecombe, the crunch-time machine, got after it once again on the national stage! On Friday evening during the Rising Stars event, Edgecombe played for Vince Carter and Team Vince as part of the All-Star Weekend festivities.
