Kevin Durant reached another historical milestone Wednesday night in his increasingly historic career: 20,000 points. Durant became the 44th player in NBA history to reach the milestone with his 40 point performance (albeit in a losing effort) against the Clippers. He got his 20,000th point with a jumper with 1:41 left in the 2nd quarter. [...]

The Bucks should be getting a big boost in the next month. Former No. 2 pick of the 2014 NBA Draft Jabari Parker could return to the floor for Milwaukee before All-Star weekend. This is pretty exciting news for a Bucks team trying to enter the top half of the eastern conference this season, as [...]

Dion Waiters has missed the past nine games for the Miami Heat with a nagging left ankle injury. Waiters has struggled to recover from the injury and an unenviable option is seemingly becoming more likely by the day: season-ending surgery. Waiters would receive a $1.1 million contract bonus if he was able to play in [...]

If you’re expecting the Miami Heat to pivot into a rebuild this season, keep dreaming. Any real reset starts with the team realizing it won’t have meaningful cap flexibility until 2020 at the earliest. From there, the Heat cannot be totally serious about rebuilding unless they move Goran Dragic. And according to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe, [...]

The Houston Rockets don’t have to worry about soldiering on without James Harden for much longer. He’s nearing a return from his Grade 2 left hamstring strain. From ESPN 97.5 in Houston’s Kelly Iko: James Harden is nearing a return to the court and “should be back soon, anytime next week”, according to a member [...]

At least one member of the Los Angeles Clippers is hoping DeAndre Jordan doesn’t get trade this season or leave in free agency: Blake Griffin. As the All-Star forward told The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears: How are you taking teammate DeAndre Jordan’s pending free-agency situation? This is his second time being in this situation. Before [...]

Gordon Hayward had one of the more grotesque leg injuries that we have seen in the NBA for a while on opening night when the Celtics took on the Cavaliers in Cleveland. While most would safely assume that Hayward was done until next fall, there have been rumors that have popped up at times over [...]

Despite being the Miami Heat’s highest paid player, Hassan Whiteside hasn’t been playing as many minutes or finishing games on a nightly basis since returning from his knee injury. Whiteside has averaged 11 points, eight rebounds and 1.5 blocks in just over 20 minutes per game in his last six games, and while he is [...]

Some good news has come down the pipe for the Chicago Bulls. The most prized acquisition (in my opinion) of the Bulls Jimmy Butler trade, Zach LaVine, will finally be making his Bulls debut after recovering from a torn ACL suffered in February of 2017. The timing is interesting as LaVine’s return is also his [...]

While the Knicks may not have the most depth on the wing, they have a logjam in the front court. Because of the emergence of Enes Kanter and now Michael Beasley (MVP! MVP!), the Knicks are struggling to find minutes for some of their talented big men: Willy Hernangomez and Kyle O’Quinn. After a breakout [...]
