Ben Simmons is making his return to the NBA following a year-long hiatus after agreeing to terms on a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Sacramento Kings.

The Celtics are in position to benefit from the harsh penalties handed out to the Clippers for salary cap circumvention, according to Brian Robb of MassLive.

Predicting a player's leap in the NBA can be extremely difficult, but some young players, based on their play last season, may be on the verge of taking the next step in their development.

After making the playoffs (via the play-in tournament) with a 49-33 record in 2023/24, the Pelicans endured an injury-plagued ’24/25 campaign, going just 21-61 and finishing with the fourth-worst record in the NBA. The poor results led to the dismissal of former head of David Griffin in April 2025. The next day, owner Gayle Benson […]

The list of 2026 NBA free agents has been culled pretty thin. Only one player — restricted free agent center Jalen Duren, who came in at No. 1 — remains unsigned from our list of the top 50 free agents for the 2026/27 season. Duren is also the lone restricted free agent remaining this offseason. […]
