Last night’s loss by the Washington Wizards — this time to the Houston Rockets — seems from the numbers like it was at least a somewhat entertaining game. They fell behind by as much as 19, then went ham in the fourth quarter to trim the final margin to just five. Now, it was one […]
Over the weekend, some interest has been shown in drafting the wide receiver from Louisville, Chris Bell, a former teammate of Tyler Shough.

It’s the second straight game that the Celtics have held the Bucks to 81 or fewer points, after Milwaukee scored 79 on February 1 in Boston. Read our full summary […]
Less than two years after a historically awful 14-68 season, the Pistons are now the #1 team in the league. It’s undoubtedly one of the greatest turnarounds in league history, but many are still questioning their place among basketball’s elite. Now that we have 60 games worth of sample, there should be more than enough […]

Speaking before the Unrivaled semifinals in Brooklyn on Monday, WNBPA executive committee members Kelsey Plum and Breanna Stewart both shared […]
I’ll admit it: I was skeptical when the Hawks acquired a guy who didn’t exactly endear himself to four-time championship head coach Steve Kerr. But clearly, sometimes a change in scenery is all you really need. Or maybe the Warriors just didn’t know what they had. Jonathan Kuminga was drafted seventh overall in the 2021 […]
Dave DeBusscherre is an underappreciated great of the game. Born in 1940 in Detroit, DeBusscherre was a talented basketball and baseball player. He attended the University of Detroit (now Detroit Mercy). Like Danny Ainge and Duke legend Dick Groat, DeBusscherre played professionally in both sports. Amazingly, in 1964-65, at the tender age of 24, he […]

Hugo González played only 13 minutes on Sunday night, less than 24 hours before Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla needed the rookie to start. That didn’t matter, though.

As for their […]
