The 2016-17 season has gotten off to a nightmarish start for the Washington Wizards. Bradley Beal is having injury issues yet again and has struggled to come anywhere close to the $128 million extension when he is on the court this season, averaging 15-2-2 on 36 percent shooting from the field and 29 percent from [...]

Don’t ask the Toronto Raptors about their 102-99 loss against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. They don’t want to hear it. Down by three with 2.4 seconds to go, DeMarre Carroll inbounded the ball to Terrence Ross, who heaved up a trey that found the bottom of the net. Only, DeMarcus Cousins deflected the [...]

Here we go again: Chandler Parsons is about to miss more time. Parsons didn’t play in the Memphis Grizzlies’ first six games as he recovered from right knee surgery. He then appeared in six straight contests, on a minutes limit, but his latest comeback is set to be stalled after he suffered a bone bruise [...]

Greg Monroe started the 2016-17 NBA season as a second-unit staple for the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, however, he appears to be an afterthought, and following Milwaukee’s Saturday night loss to the Golden State Warriors, he didn’t sound happy about it. Per Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: [tweet https://twitter.com/cf_gardner/status/800210457583874048] [tweet https://twitter.com/cf_gardner/status/800210591629463552] These answers [...]

One of George Hill and Derrick Favors seems like they are going to get an extension from the Utah Jazz before this season is over. And it’s probably going to be Hill, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Utah Jazz currently possess more than $13 million in cap space, which makes them even more interesting [...]

Damian Lillard is not happy with the Portland Trail Blazers. Following a 126-109 shellacking at the hands of the Houston Rockets on Thursday night, the Blazers are now 7-6, losers of three of their last five tilts, with a defense that ranks 29th in points allowed per 100 possessions, and an offense that barely places [...]

Michael Jordan is savage. Or just speaking a truth that has nothing to do with Kevin Durant, or the Golden State Warriors, or thinly veiled potshots. We’ll let you decide. His Airness spoke at Russell Westbrook’s induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, an honor that was bestowed upon Durant just last year. During his [...]

On Thursday night, the New York Knicks got blasted by the Washington Wizards, who have arguably been the NBA’s worst team, relative to summer expectations, this season. Then, afterward, they were blasted by one of their own: Brandon Jennings. From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: “We haven’t been locking in well on the road,” [...]

Uh-oh. The last thing the New Orleans Pelicans need is to experience life without Anthony Davis long term. Short term will suck, too. But they can deal with a few automatic losses that become blowouts that (probably) become 40-point drubbings. They cannot survive the season with him missing extensive time. They’re borderline unwatchable with him; [...]

Nerlens Noel is set to make his regular-season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers later this week. Which means the Sixers’ epically clunky frontcourt logjam is inching closer and closer toward full strength. Woooooooooot. From Philly Mag’s Derek Bodner: Sixers center Nerlens Noel, who underwent surgery to repair an inflamed plica in his left knee on [...]
