It is fair to say that the first two games of the regular season for Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic were not quite up to his standard. Despite getting wins, Doncic shot below 40% in both and totaled 17 turnovers, including a career-high 11 in a win over the Los Angeles Clippers. But Doncic […]

DENVER — It’s been a “weird” start to the season for Steph Curry, but maybe not for the reason you think. His knee hasn’t been a concern, and he’s taking the Warriors’ 1-3 start in stride. Curry says he’s capable of playing 30 minutes in a game. He just hasn’t yet. “I’m feeling good,” Curry...

James Worthy has identified role players who will have a crucial role to play for the Lakers.

The guard has a troubled history that has kept him out of the NBA, for serious reasons

Well, here we are again, talking about backup center as a problem for the Philadelphia 76ers. You know how the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It was predictable, yet at the same time, who saw it coming this quickly? In case you haven’t seen the splits by now, so far on the season the Sixers have a 112.3 offensive rating when Joel Embiid is on the floor and prior to Sunday’s loss to Detroit, the team was averaging only 92.8 points per 100 possessions wit...

How quickly things can change.

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are having a rough start to the season, falling to 1-2 after losing to the Golden State Warriors, 134-114, at Ball Arena on Monday.

BOSTON — Payton Pritchard was glad the Celtics beat the New York Knicks for their first win of the season on Friday night. But he couldn’t stop thinking about his own lackluster performance — 4 points on 1-for-5 shooting in 30 minutes off the bench. He wasn’t as aggressive as usual, and he didn’t attack […]

The burst clearly isn’t quite there for Anthony Edwards. He is grimacing regularly in these early season games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the limp that he is walking with on occasion isn’t from his usual Atlanta swagger. The shot? That is pure as ever. Edwards is playing through right knee pain early in this promising Timberwolves season, much like he did at the end of last season when he gutted through it in a second-round playoff loss to San Antonio. Despite being listed as questio...

Stokes' case strengthened after a superlative Game 5.

It’s always great seeing the players giving back to the community.

The Los Angeles Lakers improved to 3-0 with their win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Luka Doncic and his virtuoso 52-point performance will get the majority of the attention, and rightfully so, but Austin Reaves continued his excellent start to the season and the Lakers got big contributions from others as well. Of course, […]

Ex-LSU star Angel Reese struggled to score points as the Atlanta Dream fell short in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals.

With the Mavericks floating around .500 and Cooper Flagg establishing his place as one of the league’s young superstars, I find myself quoting the first John Wick movie as the Mavericks head home to face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. It’s been a tumultuous 20 months to be a Dallas Mavericks fan. We’ve gone through the worst trade in league history, seen a GM get fired, switched out head coaches, traded away most of the roster that led the team to the 2024 NBA Finals, and control jus...
