Practice

DeMarcus Cousins continues to inch closer toward making his Golden State Warriors debut. On Tuesday, the team announced that he has already been completing certain drills and will begin practicing with the rest of the squad in the near future: [tweet https://twitter.com/WarriorsPR/status/1054535221696126976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1054535221696126976&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbssports.com%2Fnba%2Fnews%2Fdemarcus-cousins-injury-update-warriors-star-could-begin-practicing-with-team-in-controlled-environment-soon%2F] Most initially had Cousins returning sometime around the start of 2019. If he’s [...]

The NBA does not have a four-point line, nor does it appear to be on the relative verge of implementing one. The idea has been kicked around, but as of now, seems too extreme even for this era. What would a four-point line do to floor balance? Where would the league put it? Would teams [...]

Josh Hart’s standout rookie season may have just reached an abrupt end. The 22-year-old newbie suffered a fracture in his left hand during a Los Angeles Lakers team practice on Wednesday. It’s not immediately clear how much time he’ll miss as a result, per ESPN.com’s Ohm Youngmisuk: Los Angeles Lakers rookie Josh Hart suffered a fractured left fourth [...]

The struggling Lakers will be receiving some reinforcements quickly. In what will be a pleasant surprise for Lakers fans, the greatest player in NBA history, Lonzo Ball (sorry LaVar typed that for me) and starting center Brook Lopez have been cleared to return to practice. [tweet https://twitter.com/MarcJSpearsESPN/status/948312934979010566?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] You can say what you want about Ball, [...]

Remember when Markelle Fultz’s right shoulder injury wasn’t considered serious enough to pull him from the Philadelphia 76ers’ rotation? Well, we’re now nearly 20 games removed from the team officially shutting him down, and he still isn’t practicing, per The Athletic’s Derek Bodner: On October 29th, the #sixers said there was no structural damage in [...]

The recent era of Golden State Warriors basketball has produced the greatest long-range shooting team in NBA history. The Warriors possess two of the greatest shooters in NBA history in Steph Curry (greatest shooter of all-time, no debate) and Klay Thompson, and one of the greatest pure scorers in NBA history in Kevin Durant. The [...]

The Cavaliers seem to be pulling out of their early season swoon as winners of four straight games to improve their record to 9-7 on the season. They are in dire need of a point guard though as with Kyrie Irving leading the NBA’s premier team in Boston at the moment, Isaiah Thomas recovering from [...]

Eric Bledsoe trade watch is getting pretty boring. The Phoenix Suns have made it clear they have no plans to rush a trade, but most thought they still might hammer something out by now, if only to distance themselves from this public relations wart altogether. Bledsoe himself seems to have believed this would all be [...]

For the first time since undergoing thumb surgery in December, J.R. Smith practiced with his Cavalier teammates on Wednesday. He was no doubt rusty and will likely take some time to get his wind back. But he seems to have healed far enough ahead of the playoffs in order for him to find his groove. [...]

Allen Iverson’s practice rant was one of the most memorable moments of his career. In fact people still want to ask him about it more than 14 years later. Iverson hosted a charity basketball game on Friday August 5th and was questioned by a reporter on whether or not he still felt the same way [...]
