It has been a rough go of things early for former NBA Lottery pick CJ McCollum of the Portland Trailblazers, suffering through injuries and a lack of playing time, but things couldn’t be better for his older brother Errick, who just set the CBA individual scoring mark, tallying an amazing 82 points in a game [...]

For the 2015 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge are these specially-designed uniforms from adidas. What used to be known as the Rookie/Sophmore game starts off the basketball festivities during the NBA All-Star Weekend and the case could be made for this game being having better displays of basketball than the actual All-Star Game on Sunday.

The up and down season for Dwight Howard continues. The big man has been battling injuries for most of the season and he’ll be sidelined again. He could miss extended time with a knee injury. Even with a fully healthy team, Houston’s roster needs improvements to be the West’s elite, so this news certainly doesn’t [...]

Question of the week: Do any of the NBA’s Eastern Conference fringe playoff teams actually want to make the postseason? Asking for a friend or 50 here. Seriously, once you leave the East’s top-six teams—Hawks(!), Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Cavaliers and Bucks—it feels like you’ve entered the “Let’s try and suck as much as possible in order to [...]

The summer of 2016 can’t get here soon enough. The race for Kevin Durant won’t quite match 2010’s hysteria, but it will be up there. Kevin Durant has sounded open to the possibility of playing for his hometown Wizards, but he also seems very attached to the OKC community. But are the Knicks in play [...]

Someone needs to explain the Denver Nuggets to me. We’ve already talked about their purported interest in the Brooklyn Nets’ Brook Lopez—an injury-prone big man who may help their offense, but not their defense, and one who is overkill considering JaVale McGee, J.J. Hickson and Jusuf Nurkic are on the roster. Now, they’re at it again. [...]
