Joel Embiid doesn’t seem to have a better handle on the Philadelphia 76ers’ Markelle Fultz situation than any of us. And that’s left him concerned. As the first-time All-Star and arguably Defensive Player of the Year favorite recently told NBA TV (via Philly Voice‘s Kyle Neubeck): “I don’t know what the origin of the problems [...]

Despite losing Gordon Hayward for the year (we think) and overturning more than half the roster this past offseason, the Boston Celtics are on pace to win 57 games and contend for the Eastern Conference’s top playoff seed. Head coach Brad Stevens isn’t impressed. Okay, that might be putting it strongly. But he’s definitely not [...]

Lonzo Ball has not played since Jan. 13 while dealing with a sprained left MCL, and while the Los Angeles Lakers have been quick to shoot down the severity of his injury, he’s not expected back until sometime after the All-Star break.

The Utah Jazz are playing the best basketball of anyone in the NBA right now. After coming back from a 13 point deficit, they were able to take down the San Antonio Spurs at home without Ricky Rubio. A Donovan Mitchell jumper with 32 seconds left would end up sealing the deal… The Jazz are [...]

With knee surgery putting All-Star point guard John Wall on the shelf for the next month to month and a half, the Wizards are in dire need of some depth at the point guard position. Apparently they may be setting their sights on a guy who has been playing in China and is a former [...]
