When the Sacramento Kings decided to give Mike Malone the shaft, almost everyone was surprised. Including Malone himself. Sure, the Kings were under .500 at the time and in the midst of a 2-7 stretch, but they had shown progress under Malone, beginning 2014-15 at 9-5, their best start in nearly 10 years. Malone’s dismissal [...]

With the New York Knicks unlikely to get anything going this season, their all-star forward Carmelo Anthony has been consistently missing games with an ailing knee injury. His knee injury has been bothering him since almost the start of the season, which has now made him consider possibly sitting out the rest of the season [...]

Andrew Bogut’s health continues to betray him. The big man has missed 65 games combined in each of the two previous seasons and has already missed five of the Golden State Warriors’ first 25 contests for 2014-15. And he’s going to miss more. How many more? We don’t know. From the Bay Area News Group’s [...]

Milwaukee Bucks rookie Jabari Parker suffered a left knee injury during their thrilling 96-94 victory against the Phoenix Suns. He immediately went for an MRI the next day which revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee. The Bucks have announced (via twitter) that Parker is sidelined for the remainder of the [...]

Greg Monroe is an evil genius. Minus the evil part. And maybe the genius part, too. People with nothing better to do—so, me—were up in arms when Monroe signed his qualifying offer in restricted free agency this past summer rather than ink an offer sheet with another team or long-term contract with the Detroit Pistons. [...]

Almost as soon as the Charlotte Hornets signed Lance Stephenson they wanted to trade him. That itself is almost a true story. Now that Dec. 15 has come to pass and NBA free agents who signed contracts over the summer can be traded, the Hornets are ready to move Stephenson, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [...]

It finally happened. Injuries delayed the occasion, but on Sunday night, Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan for No. 3 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. He clinched the honor with a pair of free throws midway through the second quarter and went on to tally 26 points in total, giving him 32,310 for his career, [...]

The Sacramento Kings have surprisingly fired their current head coach—Mike Malone—and assistant coach Tyrone Corbin will be appointed as their interim head coach, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo!
