Remember when Dwyane Wade broke Kobe Bryant’s nose during the 2012 NBA All-Star Game? Sure you do. But Kobe doesn’t. Fine, yes he does. But he’s not holding any grudges nearly four years later. He and Wade are cool—super cool, actually. That’s the vibe you get from the story that the Miami Heat’s shooting guard [...]

Additional offensive help is not on the way for the Chicago Bulls. Already bogged down by subpar play at the point guard position (sup, Derrick Rose) and in the frontcourt (sup, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah), the Bulls definitely need an offensive boost. Though they rank as one of the league’s best three-point [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is going to do just fine with the Knicks. He already gets it and understands the subtle animosity between the Knicks and Nets. The two NY City teams square off Friday night in a nationally televised game and Kristaps Porzingis has begun some trash talk. It’s all in good fun, but this is [...]

Randy Wittman must be an avid fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The Washington Wizards are floundering as a team. At 7-9, they’re owners of the fourth-worst record in the Eastern Conference. Their offense isn’t nearly as potent as it was during the playoffs, and their defense, relative to this season’s field of points-prevention units, has [...]

Bryon Scott’s job is safe. For now. Not 20 games into his second season as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, it already looks like Scott will have played babysitter for the two worst teams in franchise history. That’s not the kind of resume that will help you keep your job—especially when you entered [...]

Before entering the NBA, New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. OK, no he didn’t. But you get the point. Porzingis has endeared himself to fans and pundits, even those outside of New York. Deemed a years-long project on draft night, the 20-year-old Latvian product is far more polished [...]

Brandon Jennings is making progress toward a return from the Achilles tear he suffered last season. His return just isn’t imminent. Detroit Pistons head coach and president Stan Van Gundy offered up the following cryptic timeline for Jennings’ ongoing recovery, per USA Today‘s Jeff Zillgitt: Return for Pistons G Brandon Jennings not imminent, Stan Van [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers’ topsy-turvy 2015-16 season has now reached full “Well, jeez” status. Prior to the Clippers’ Wednesday night loss to the Indiana Pacers, coach and president Doc Rivers revealed that the rib injury All-Star point guard Chris Paul suffered against the Portland Trail Blazers two nights before would keep him sidelined for at [...]

Rudy Gobert won’t be swallowing shots at the rim for the Utah Jazz for a while. Make the appropriate sad faces whenever you please. The news came swiftly and unexpected Wednesday night, with the Jazz releasing a statement that outlined the indeterminable terms of Gobert’s absence: After sustaining a left knee injury during today’s practice [...]

Recently, Sports Illustrated ran a story discussing how difficult it is for media members covering the 76ers to come up with new angles regarding a team that’s so consistently miserable. The article pointed out that heading into a December 1 contest with the Lakers (incidentally, a winnable game for Philadelphia), the franchise had already set [...]
