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.

There was a unique mix of futility, history, adulation and reflection emanating throughout the Wells Fargo Center Tuesday as the 2-14 Los Angeles Lakers battled with the 0-18 Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers were trying not to set a new record for the worst start in NBA history by falling to 0-19 and the official Kobe [...]

The Golden State Warriors are winning like crazy without head coach Steve Kerr on the sidelines, which is good, because they still don’t know when he’ll actually be on the sidelines. An all-time start to the season has overshadowed Steve Kerr’s absence as he continues to deal with and recover from complications that arose after [...]
