RJ Barrett did the Tyrese Haliburton.

Cuban, who still owns 27 percent of the team, noted that “a bunch of people” contacted him, unhappy with the direction of the franchise.

LeBron James sat by his locker, alternating between being introspective and funny.

The NBA season is a long, grinding marathon that lasts for 82 games before the playoffs begin. That is, except for...

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick entered his second postseason appearance as a massive underdog against the Houston Rockets, but he and his team were able to pull off a convincing upset.
