Avery Bradley

Avery Bradley didn’t exactly have the kind of year you hope for before entering free agency. The 27-year-old combo guard struggled mightily in Detroit and Los Angeles. He saw his numbers and efficiency level go down across the board as the perception of him changed from great two-way starting shooting guard to inefficient and overvalued [...]

The Utah Jazz are currently the hottest team in the NBA as winners of six straight games and eight out of their last 10. They have worked their way back into the playoff discussion at 25-28 and are only three games out of the No. 8 seed in the western conference. That apparently is not [...]

Things have gone south in a hurry in Detroit. The Pistons are losers of eight straight games and are a full three games out of the final playoff spot in the eastern conference. The timing of this swoon complicates an already complicated situation with starting shooting guard Avery Bradley. Bradley is on the final year [...]

Even now, more than a month after the Detroit Pistons started the NBA’s free-agency period wheeling and dealing, their offseason feels weird, and unsettling, and potentially awful. They hard-capped themselves on July 1—July 1!—by using a bulk of the mid-level exception on Langston Galloway. They flipped Marcus Morris’ two-year, $10.4 million commitment for Avery Bradley’s [...]

The Boston Celtics needed to shed some salary in order to sign Gordon Hayward to the four-year, $128 million contract that he agreed to Tuesday. The rumor for a while was that the Celtics and Jazz would conduct a sign-and-trade for Hayward and Jae Crowder to give some salary back to the Jazz, but those [...]

Down the stretch of the Boston Celtics’ Game 2 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, Rajon Rond told Avery Bradley that the boys in green were accepting defeat. And Bradley, afterward, couldn’t disagree with him, per ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: “I looked around and a few times in the game guys were putting their heads [...]

Al Horford has always been among the best passing bigs in the NBA. But he’s taken it to a whole new level this season, his first with the Boston Celtics. While Horford’s scoring and usage are down from last year, his assist percentage has skyrocketed to 24. 2, more than seven point’s higher than his [...]

Avery Bradley is stoked about the Boston Celtics’ acquisition of Al Horford. So stoked, in fact, that he believes the team has a chance to finish the 2016-17 season as the NBA’s best, or second-best, defensive faction. From Brian Robb of CBS Boston: “I think he’ll help us out a lot,” Bradley explained. “Having a [...]

Never say Avery Bradley doesn’t have goals. The Boston Celtics shooting guard, whose postseason injury all but destroyed the team’s hopes of escaping the first round, has his sights set on winning next year’s Defensive Player of the Year award, per ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNForsberg/status/770281474100572160] Such a goal would typically be considered unrealistic for [...]

Is there a possibility that Avery Bradley returns from a right hamstring injury sooner than expected? In between his ears, maybe. In real life, no. The Boston Celtics won’t let him if it comes to that—specifically, president Danny Ainge won’t let him, per Chris Forsberg of ESPN.com: Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge [...]
