Rudy Gobert won’t be swallowing shots at the rim for the Utah Jazz for a while. Make the appropriate sad faces whenever you please. The news came swiftly and unexpected Wednesday night, with the Jazz releasing a statement that outlined the indeterminable terms of Gobert’s absence: After sustaining a left knee injury during today’s practice [...]

Recently, Sports Illustrated ran a story discussing how difficult it is for media members covering the 76ers to come up with new angles regarding a team that’s so consistently miserable. The article pointed out that heading into a December 1 contest with the Lakers (incidentally, a winnable game for Philadelphia), the franchise had already set [...]

Through 19 games in the 2015-16 NBA season Steph Curry has made 94 three point field goals (good for just under five a game) while shooting an otherworldly 45% from downtown. Here are some crazy numbers to put his torrid pace from downtown in perspective: The number two player on the list for most three [...]

If Kobe Bryant had gotten his way in 2011, Carmelo Anthony would now be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, not the New York Knicks. This, of course, assumes that the two stars would have coexisted together this long. There’s only one ball allowed on the floor at a time, you know. The offensive [...]

All is not well with the Sacramento Kings. Things are just better than we thought. At 7-12, with one of the five worst records in the Western Conference, the Kings don’t have any reason to celebrate. They’re on pace to win 30 games for the first time during the DeMarcus Cousins era. That’s it, and [...]

Nikola Pekovic believes that his day with the Minnesota Timberwolves will come once again. Forgive us if we don’t share those sentiments. Pekovic has yet to play this season as he recovers from Achilles tendon surgery, and he’s appeared in just 85 games over the last three campaigns. Now, apparently, he’s nearing a return—one that [...]

Anthony Davis has had enough of the New Orleans Pelicans playing the part of unlikely bottom-feeder. Entering the 2015-16 regular season, the Pelicans were considered playoff locks. They wouldn’t be a top-four Western Conference team, but they would appear in the postseason, perhaps as a No. 6 or No. 7 seed. Alvin Gentry’s offense would [...]

Things didn’t work out between Rajon Rondo and the Dallas Mavericks last season. But we had no idea they were the head-coach-tried-to-tow-your-car bad. Head coach Rick Carlisle and Rondo, now of the Sacramento Kings, clearly had their issues with one another during their short time together. Carlisle likes to have control over what’s happening on [...]

Timofey Mozgov is having a season to forget. Unfortunately for him, the Cleveland Cavaliers do not suffer from short-term memory loss. After emerging as a key anchor during the Cavaliers’ stretch run last season, Mozgov, who will enter free agency this summer, is struggling mightily on both sides of the floor. His minutes are down, [...]

Kevin Durant has a problem with how the NBA media covers Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba himself, though, has no such issue. Not known for his love of the media, the 2013-14 MVP took some shots at the how the end of Kobe’s career was being improperly handled. Here’s a snippet of his diatribe, courtesy [...]
