Rumors

This year’s MVP race will be one of the closest in recent memory. Steph Curry is the likely favorite because his team is first in the West, but you could make an equally compelling case for Westbrook and Harden. Anthony Davis agrees with that (Harden in particular), as he stated on the The Dan Patrick [...]

This time of year, if a team has nothing to play for, the product can become unwatchable. Teams sense this to a degree and realize it’s in the best interest of the club to shut down star players with nagging injuries. No need risking a serious injury to a guy who is playing in meaningless [...]

Derrick Rose’s return this season seems more likely with each passing day. Yesterday, he returned to full contact practice for the Bulls, although there’s no timetable for his return. For a guy like Rose, this news is huge. Historically, he took a bad rap for his unwillingness to come back early from injury but maybe [...]

The lottery bound Timberwolves can’t wait until the 2014-15 season ends. After having their starting point guard Ricky Rubio miss numerous games with an ankle injury, they now lose Nikola Pekovic for the season with an ankle injury. Pekovic has been out since March 13 with an ankle injury and the Timberwolves officially announced Monday [...]

Similar to a few other contenders this season, the Houston Rockets can’t catch a break. They’ve been without Dwight Howard for much of the season, and as soon as he gets back, Patrick Beverly goes down with a wrist injury.

With his recent return to the sidelines, everyone from fans to players to team brass were ecstatic to see Sags recover and return to the court. It is with very heavy hearts we have to report that Sager’s son Craig Sager Jr. [...]

It’s official: Kevin Durant’s season is over, the Thunder confirm. Hampered by a broken foot before the season began, Durant was barely able to see the floor this season. This is for the better because even if OKC were to get into the playoffs as an 8 seed, they’ll be bounced early. So this means [...]

How’s this for dedication? Last night, the Pelicans lost at home to the Rockets by two points in a game where Anthony Davis went 6-14 from the free throw line. Davis has improved his outside touch since entering the league so those eight misses really sat with him afterwards. After the game, Davis went back [...]

The 1996 draft class is legendary, but the NBA world was almost turned on its axis. The Timberwolves had the fifth pick that year and selected Ray Allen, then traded him to Milwaukee for Stephon Marbury. But the team thought about taking Kobe. What would a KG-Kobe pairing have looked like? “We teetered on the [...]
