It is time to officially set off the warning alarm, there may be serious problems between the San Antonio Spurs and Kawhi Leonard. Leonard has apparently been cleared for a return by team doctors for his right quad injury, but spent the All-Star break seeing a specialist and getting a second opinion and is choosing [...]

As a franchise athlete or someone competing at the very highest level of any field you need to have a special amount of self-confidence and belief in your abilities. Anthony Davis has that confidence in his ability and the ability of his currently injured All-Star teammate DeMarcus Cousins. When asked by Rachel Nichols of ESPN [...]

If you’re like everyone else, you’re verging on shocked that the Golden State Warriors didn’t enter the All-Star break with the NBA’s best record. That honor belongs to the Houston Rockets, who have a half-game hold on Western Conference’s No. 1 seed and, by extension, the league’s highest winning percentage over the reigning champs. And [...]

Although the NBA doesn’t return to a TV near you until Thursday, this lull in regular-season action is actually one of the most interesting times of the year. See, we’re just coming out of the All-Star Game, which means we’re being treated to all the chatter scooped up by reporters from league executives and agents [...]

Basketball fans rejoice. Be glad. Get pumped. All your dreams are about to come true. Actually, strike that. One of your dreams will come true…one of the minor ones…roughly one year now.

Hey may also, it seems, be specifically authorized to speak on Kevin Garnett’s behalf. Not only does The Truth believe KG’s No. 5 is next in line to be immortalized [...]

Isaiah Thomas is happy he no longer plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers—in large part, apparently, because that means he no longer plays with LeBron James. During an appearance on Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed, Chris Broussard indicated the now-Los Angeles Lakers point guard wasn’t thrilled with the way LeBron spoke to him while they were both in [...]

Despite losing Gordon Hayward for the year (we think) and overturning more than half the roster this past offseason, the Boston Celtics are on pace to win 57 games and contend for the Eastern Conference’s top playoff seed. Head coach Brad Stevens isn’t impressed. Okay, that might be putting it strongly. But he’s definitely not [...]

Lonzo Ball has not played since Jan. 13 while dealing with a sprained left MCL, and while the Los Angeles Lakers have been quick to shoot down the severity of his injury, he’s not expected back until sometime after the All-Star break.
