After leading for the entire first half on Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks (21-41) pulled a 115-114 defeat from the teeth of victory against the Orlando Magic (33-28) at Kia Center. But proclaim the good news of the day from the hilltops, Mavericks fans, for Cooper Flagg is back. Basketball joy is once again an option. […]
The Washington Wizards fell short of a comeback on Thursday in Trae Young’s debut against the Utah Jazz, losing 122-112 at Capital One Arena.

The tanking has been bad. Really bad. The Nets have lost nine straight entering Thursday’s home-and-home with Miami. They aren’t the only tankers… tanking. The Pacers have lost seven straight, Wizards six straight, and the Jazz seven straight. One win and it can all be thrown off. The Draft Lottery can’t come soon enough. 🏀 […]

Those shuffles were also required due to the apparent return of Wyatt Kaiser, who was injured just before the Olympic break and hadn’t played since Chicago returned to game action last week. But he was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, skating opposite Sam Rinzel. The forwards were also moved around now that neithe...
The Dallas Mavericks have been without Cooper Flagg for eight-straight games, making for some lousy viewing experiences of late.
