Nikola Mirotic already isn’t happy that Bobby Portis is playing while he himself recovers from injuries sustained during a physical altercation between the two. And now he has another reason to wear an indefinite frowny face: Rookie Lauri Markkanen has the Chicago Bulls’ starting power forward spot on lock—so much so that Mirotic’s return won’t force [...]

Mike Conley hasn’t looked great to start the season. He’s shooting under 39 percent from the floor overall, just over 31 percent from three and not having a profound impact on the Memphis Grizzlies offense. They’re actually scoring slightly more points per 100 possessions when he’s off the court—an unsettling split that runs counter to [...]

Kawhi Leonard’s 2017-18 season debut has yet to take place, and the San Antonio Spurs haven’t offered a definitive timetable for his return from a quad injury. But, on the bright side, it seems he will play sometime before hell freezes over. As head coach Gregg Popovich said, per the San Antonio Express-News‘ Tom Orsborn: Spurs [...]

Draymond Green is the most outspoken player in the NBA these days and loves to comment or talk trash about the Warriors bitter rival the past three seasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James.

Though the Knicks waived Mindaugas Kuzminskas to make room for their $72.6 million man, he has yet to dress for a [...]

Chris Paul isn’t shy about his opinion of the Houston Rockets. The point guard is expected to be in the team’s starting lineup when it faces the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, marking just the second time he will suit up for his new digs all season. He hasn’t played since a bruised left knee forced [...]

LeBron James is ready for Isaiah Thomas to take the court. That’s not happening anytime soon, of course—at least not for a few weeks. The point guard has missed every game so far this season after joining the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of the Kyrie Irving trade with the Boston Celtics. He needs to get [...]
