Sebastian Fundora was recently injured in training and saw his October 25 fight with Keith Thurman postponed, but a new working date is already in place, and it won’t be a pay-per-view main event with that new date. Mike Coppinger has reported that Fundora vs Thurman will be part of a Manny Pacquiao undercard in […]

The Houston Rockets second iteration of the Victor Oladipo trade was far more intriguing than the original trade back in 2021. At that time, the franchise was desperate to reach postseason play, after trading away their All-NBA backcourt of James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The team hoped Oladipo and John Wall could rewind the hands […]

That’s right, we’ve got another game in Europe. The NFL’s latest trip to London sees the Los Angeles Rams as the “road team” versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, who lost to the Seattle Seahawks last week. We need to see the Jaguars beat the Rams, much in the way the Jags beat the San Francisco 49ers […]

In the 1980’s Europeans and other international players began to migrate to the NBA. Guys like Detlef Schrempf, Vlade Divac and Šarūnas Marčiulionis began to leave strong impressions. Dražen Petrović and Toni Kukoč were not far behind and soon European players, along with Latin Americans, began to carve out a significant niche. Today, in many ways, […]

This is the first of a series of roundtable questions I’m asking the staff here at Peachtree Hoops about the Hawks this upcoming season. The first question: who is someone that will outperform expectations or break out this season? Wes: I’m keeping my eye on Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Even though he was signed in the offseason […]

Although the event took place over a month ago, the Spurs shared this video at halftime during Friday’s final preseason game. Enogh cannot be said about the impact Red McCombs made on San Antonio. Known locally for his car dealerships as well as bringing the Spurs to San Antonio, the business magnate invested heavily in […]

One down, four to go. (Or, four to go for now, as we can never count out the possibility of late-breaking, oddly-timed WNBA decisions.) On Friday, the Portland Fire officially announced Alex Sarama as their head coach, tapping the player development guru currently on the staff of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. The hire, which initially […]

When Dallas traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers last winter, fans were outraged. When Anthony Davis, who came over from LA in the trade, was injured, that was bad. Then former Duke star Kyrie Irving blew out an ACL, which was also devastating. However, Dallas got unbelievably lucky in the draft and ended […]

Atlanta has not made the playoffs in two seasons. In fact, since they made the Conference Finals in 2021, their success has slowly tailed off. They have lost in the first round twice, had a winning record once, and have had three head coaches. It has been a whirlwind for the Hawks, and not the […]

It’s over. The offseason is behind us. This time next week, the Boston Celtics will be on pace for either 82, 41, or 0 wins after their first two games against the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks. The Celtics have more uncertainty surrounding their roster than in any of the previous eight seasons, […]

The Carolina Hurricanes found another way to win Saturday evening, moving the team to 5-0-0 on the season and remaining as the only undefeated team in the National Hockey League.

A meltdown of epic proportions in Charlottesville, Virginia for the Washington State Cougars. Boneheaded mistakes, presnap penalties, and a lack of offense allowed the No. 18 Virginia Cavaliers to erase a 17-7 halftime deficit to win it 22-20. Much like WSU’s (3-4) win over Colorado State, the offense couldn’t get anything going in the second […]

The Spurs did the expected and parted ways with Adam Flagler, Micha Potter, and Stanley Umude. All three were waived on Saturday, the team announced. Flagler, Umude and Potter were on Exhibit 10 contracts, also known as training camp deals, so it’s not a surprise they are gone now that the Spurs’ preseason is over […]

The Seattle Seahawks secondary has been fighting an uphill battle since Week 2. It’s not been smooth sailing in the attempt to get even half of the original starting defensive backs on the field. Saturday afternoon the Seahawks released their final injury report ahead of the late Monday Night matchup with the Houston Texans. Derick […]

It would be fair to assume that, after declaring Friday’s preseason finale as a dress rehearsal, the starting lineup in that contest would be the starting lineup when the regular season opens. To that point, though, the lineup selected against the Kings was certainly surprising. The inclusion of Gabe Vincent was not one anyone expected, […]

The Washington Wizards announced that they waived guard Kadary Richmond guard Alondra Williams earlier today. The move isn’t particularly surprising because Richmond only played once in the preseason for just under six minutes. Williams also played only one game and had just under 12 minutes of action. The two were previously on Exhibit 10 contracts.

After the Milwaukee Bucks had opted to cut former second-round pick Chris Livingston, they were down to 16 players on the roster who had fully or partially guaranteed deals. That left Andre Jackson Jr., Tyler Smith, and Amir Coffey to duke it out for the final two available slots. It appears that a decision has […]

Atlanta made some moves towards finalizing their opening day roster. The Hawks announced earlier today that they had waived center Charles Bassey and guard Lamont Butler. That pair will likely clear waivers and end up on the College Park Skyhawks, earning a cool $85,300 if they last a few months with the team. Now, this […]
