This nightmare of a season can’t get any worse for OKC. Or, maybe it can. With Kevin Durant sidelined with a bum foot and Russell Westbrook playing with a protective mask after denting his face, we learn that Serge Ibaka will need knee surgery. He has missed the last two contest for OKC and there’s [...]

adidas has been the official apparel outfitter of the NBA for a while, but the 11-year partnership will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2016-17 season.

Having all but wrapped up the #1 seed in the East, the Atlanta Hawks have been resting players here and there as they gear up for the playoffs. Last night vs. the Lakers, Paul Millsap, Al Horford and Jeff Teague were all given the night off. Maybe Kyle Korver wishes he sat out too. In [...]

In the minds of most hoop heads, Shaquille O’Neal is most closely connected with the Lakers, but we cannot forget his time in Orlando. In his four years in central Florida, he put the Magic on the map (along with Penny Hardaway) and helped lead the team to a Finals appearance. Despite leaving in 1996 [...]

It’s March, so you’d think just about everyone is over the fact that LeBron left Miami to return home to Cleveland. Everyone except Pat Riley apparently.

Rajon Rondo is an unrestricted free agent this summer and after his public spat with coach Rick Carlisle, it seemed grim that he’d return. However, Rondo said he’s still open to returning.
