From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: 1. More than one rival team has said they don’t expect Bosh to be waived by Miami [...]

When Khris Middleton first suffered his hamstring tear ahead of the regular season, many wondered whether he would play at all this year.

In case you were wondering whether NBA players would take their role in choosing All-Stars seriously, Robin Lopez has given us an answer. From the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson: [tweet https://twitter.com/KCJHoop/status/821807969486643200] Welp. We’re going to assume Lopez is kidding. Actually, on second thought, he probably isn’t. This seems to track with his jovial, if quirky, personality. [...]

So, um, uh-oh. Kristaps Porzingis has missed seven of the New York Knicks’ last 11 games while dealing with a sore Achilles, including each of the past four tilts. Achilles injuries are always fickle, but classifying it as sore implies an optimistic outlook. But that favorable prognosis, assuming there ever was one, may be gone. [...]

What could be better than a Philadelphia 76ers team that features Joel Embiid and boasts a better January record than the reigning-champion Cleveland Cavaliers? That same Sixers squad, but with Ben Simmons, who may be on the verge of making his NBA debut in a few weeks time, according to ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes: Philadelphia 76ers [...]

ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne has the deets: [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821445802979532801] [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821452476360470528] [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821452583776624640] [tweet https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/821461837522685953] The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed Shelburne’s findings, though he painted a more [...]

Isaiah Thomas is truly having a magical season for the Boston Celtics. He is the go-to player and closer for one of the better teams in the NBA.

The Golden State Warriors broke ground on the construction of their new arena on Tuesday, which presented a chance for people to both lament the team’s relocation and ask owner Joe Lacob about the future. Kevin Durant’s future was among the topics presented, and Lacob made it perfectly clear that he doesn’t envision the 2013-14 MVP [...]

The Carmelo Anthony-Phil Jackson saga is soldiering on. In the aftermath of a scathing column written by Jackson confidant Charley Rosen,  the prevailing sentiments call for Anthony to waive his no-trade clause so that the New York Knicks can begin rebuilding around Kristaps Porzingis without him. Though Jackson has yet to confirm Rosen is not an [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t think highly of last season’s Sacramento Kings. But he still has complete faith in himself. Some don’t think a player of Rondo’s ilk can be valuable in today’s NBA. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective, doesn’t shoot threes, can eat up the shot clock by over-dribbling, and no longer [...]
