Chicago Bulls basketball is two days away. Brace yourself. To celebrate opening week, the Bulls officially unveiled their 2025-26 City Edition uniforms ! Fans will have to wait until December to get an on-court look at the newest threads, but the initial photos have already won me over. I’ve been critical of some jersey designs in the past, and I’m still not sure the NBA should be forcing teams to roll out something new every year. With that being the case, I love that they kept this ye...

As Scott Powers wrote for The Athletic back on March 23, Bertuzzi’s saw stretches last season where he “had zero goals and seven assists in 20 games. Before that, he had 12 goals and five assists in 20 gam...

The Chicago Bulls will begin the 2025-26 season without their leading scorer. The team officially announced on Monday morning that Coby White will remain sidelined with a calf strain. While he has resumed on-court activity, the team will look to re-evaluate him in two weeks.

The first franchise superstars–Geoff Petrie and Sidney Wicks–averaged 22 points per game during their Portland tenures. Unfortunately, 22 is also where the Blazers placed in the opening round of NBA Power Rankings for the 2025-26 season. Nestled between […]
