The Knicks host the Magic as both teams search for their first victory following disappointing season-opening performances.

ATLANTA — OK, I’ll ask the question: At what point does the stream start running in the other direction? I’m referring to the WNBA coaching carousel, which in the last few years has basically become a one-way thoroughfare from NBA benches to the lead seat in the W. Becky Hammon was the first and most prominent of these, but in the years since we’ve seen Nate Tibbets, Chris DeMarco, Natalie Nakase and Tyler Marsh, among others, all make the same move. But at some point, shouldn’t this street star

Just as we know the 2026-27 NBA season will feature first-time All-Stars, broken records and award-worthy play, we can be sure it'll also include its share of disappointments.

Not to get all early-season-overreaction mode on everyone, but this already feels like red-alert time for the Golden State Warriors.

"Adding Lowry to the mix also had the former Phoenix Suns superstar smiling. “For us to have him join our crew is a lot of fun. We’re excited to have new blood and Kyle is going to be up there with the best (analysts),” Nash said." submitted by /u/cev [link] [comments]

Sixers give LeBron a reason to rest easy LeBron James sat out, and the Sixers still had more than enough offense. That might be the most encouraging part of their 3-0 start.
