The preseason is a necessary evil. You need it so that teams can work out the kinks, but of course there’s always the risk of injury. The latter was the case for New Orleans rookie Austin Rivers who left yesterday’s preseason game with a sprained ankle. The same ankle he has surgery on a few [...]

Dwight Howard made his Lakers debut last night, albeit in preseason action. Dwight finished with a double-double and looked right at home. He picked up right where he left off. His first bucket as a Laker? An alley-oop of course: [...]

As Mbenga was trying to leave the restaurant, two Dallas police officers were [...]

Andrew Bynum had an interesting season last year. He should a great deal of improvement, while also showing a great deal of immaturity. The latter probably played some role in the Lakers’ decision to move him (Dwight Howard helped, too). But is this what the Sixers can look forward too? Bynum’s already making headlines because [...]

There was  time when NBA arenas didn’t have a corporate sponsor and they were just named after the city or team for the most part. But of course, there’s too much money to be left on the table by not giving naming rights to a company willing to shell out millions. No matter what their [...]
