Rumors

Preseason can be a necessary evil. Guys need it in order to get into shape, but there’s always a higher chance of injury because it’s early in the season and their bodies are yet used to the grind again yet. James Harden left the Rockets preseason game with a right knee contusion. He did not [...]

James Harden recently made headlines when he professed to being the best player in the league and that he deserved the MVP last year. He may not get many people to buy into that first comments, but he’s not far off with the second one. Naturally, that means Steph Curry didn’t deserve it, according to [...]

Knicks coach Derek Fisher filed for divorce back in March of this year and Matt Barnes’ wife is “estranged.” The two instances couldn’t be any more unrelated except for the fact that they are. Apparently, Fisher is dating Barnes’ estranged wife and Matt isn’t too thrilled about that. The two apparently got into a physical [...]

We’ve been hearing rumors for a while that Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose aren’t as close as you’d think. One guy is the face of the franchise, while the other is on the rise.

But that plan has been derailed (on paper, anyway) as Michael Kidd-Gilchrist needs to undergo shoulder surgery. This procedure will sideline the youngster for about six months, and possibly the whole season. Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist [...]

Training camp is underway and most coach, I’m sure, would appreciate it if their guys came into came in shape. That way, camp can be used to go over actual basketball stuff, rather than using that time to tackle conditioning. The former is apparently the case with Kings rookie Willie Cauley-Stein who is apparently out [...]

Last season, Lakers rookie Julius Randle broke his leg in his very first professional regular season game and missed the rest of the year. This year, their new highly touted rookie, D’Angelo Russell, has apparently sustained an injury as well. Russell injured his foot in Lakers training camp, but the good news is we’re still [...]

Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson neglected to call the current contractual stalemate a “holdout.” That’s primarily because Thompson had until Thursday (yesterday) to sign the one-year qualifying offer, since they were not able to come to terms on a longterm deal. But that deadline has come and gone, so is it a holdout [...]
