Joel Embiid has been shut down for quite some time now with another lower leg injury. In the time that he did play this season, he looked much better than expected, and light years ahead of what we last saw at Kansas. If he can stay on the court, he is going to be a [...]

At the tender age of 20, Devin Booker has already established himself as one of the most intriguing prospects in the NBA and after his historic 70 point performance in Boston Friday night, he even further solidified himself as a future superstar in the making and maybe even sooner than originally thought.

All is not well in title town, the Cleveland Cavaliers are barely playing .500 basketball, struggling against any team over .500 in either conference and LeBron James is tossing his goggles minutes into a game out of mere frustration. Seriously though the Cavaliers look vulnerable and now only have a half game lead for the [...]

There is no question that at this point of the season, the Phoenix Suns have one mission: securing as many ping pong balls as possible. Losers of nine of their last 10 and having already shut down Eric Bledsoe, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Knight for the season (Knight may be for other reasons) the Suns [...]

Let the “Derrick Rose wants a max-contract!” jokes die here, and now, and forever. Actually, keep them holstered, just in case. Despite the fuss that’s been made over how much money the New York Knicks point guard plans to chase in free agency, though, Rose maintains that he wants to win more than he wants [...]

Get excited, Miami Heat fans! Sort of. Dion Waiters has missed the Miami Heat’s last three games after suffering an ankle injury during a March 17 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He plays hard on defense, but his reads can be off, and he’s not yet strong enough to defend power forwards. Naturally, this creates some division within the basketball ranks about his future in [...]

Doc Rivers is probably okay that the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. He loves Dirk Nowitzki that much. Fine, you got me. There’s no way he’s cool with the loss. It was a contentious game the Clippers needed. They’re now just one game up on the Oklahoma City Thunder [...]

The 2016-17 season hasn’t transpired like the Timberwolves or many NBA fans or prognosticators had projected as many thought the T’Wolves were ready for a big leap forward into the postseason. As of March 23, they are 28-42 and 13th in the western conference, virtually guaranteed to miss the postseason for a 13th straight season, [...]

If the Indiana Pacers are looking to retain and renew Paul George’s affections, adding Gordon Hayward would be a great start. Totally reasonable, right? Sources told ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe that George, who is a free agent in 2018 and considered a flight risk, would love the chance to play with the Indiana native: It all [...]
