For his money, Golden State Warriors [...]

NBA commissioner Adam Silver is committed to having a female head coach in the Association in the near future. He made that much clear while talking about the league’s “LeanIn.org” campaign, per ESPN.com’s Ohm Youngmisuk: NBA commissioner Adam Silver told ESPN he believes there will be a female head coach in his league, and he wants [...]

Jimmy Butler knows how the media game is played. We ask him a non-inflammatory question. He gives a seemingly innocuous answer. But if either the question or answer (or both) is centered around a big name, his response has the potential to go viral and come back to hurt him on the court. Exhibit A, [...]

James Harden, by his own admittance, is in pain. He’s dealing with a left wrist injury, one that visibly factored into his 5-of-20 shooting performance during the Houston Rockets’ Tuesday night loss to the Golden State Warriors. Perhaps it’s a good time for him to take a few games off and get right for the playoffs. [...]

The 2016-17 season has been somewhat of a lost season for Reggie Jackson. After having the best year and a half of his career after being dealt to the Pistons before the 2015 NBA trade deadline, Jackson missed the first 20 games of the 2016-17 season with chronic knee pain and has been unable to [...]

Sam Hinkie, the author of the Philadelphia 76ers’ Process, may be coming to an NBA team near you—provided, of course, your NBA team is the Sacramento Kings. According to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe and Marc Stein, Sacramento has been granted permission to speak with the Sixers’ former general manager: The Sacramento Kings have expressed exploratory interest [...]

So much for Joakim Noah being done for the season. Well, technically, Noah is done for the season. Even if he’s healthy enough to play, he has to serve a 20-game suspension for violating the NBA’s list of banned substances—an over-the-counter infraction, for what it’s worth.
