Latest news and updates about the Kings
As their number two behind Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns is central to the Knicks’ plans. Lately, though, he hasn’t been central to how games are ending. Over the past week, a new strategy has emerged from New York’s coaching staff. When the screws tighten, their most effective lineups have often come with Towns watching from […]

From mid-December until just last week, the Knicks played the worst stretch of basketball they’ve played since 2022. So naturally, it’ll take more than a three-game winning streak, with two of the wins coming against the Nets and Kings, to win back the trust of the fanbase and the belief of the national media. But […]
Coming into the Pride Night game at Madison Square Garden, the Sacramento Kings (12-36) had lost five straight and nine consecutive road games. They lost by 23 in Detroit on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Chicago Bulls team president Arturas Karnisovas was apparently poised to make his squad the Eastern Conference’s “biggest sellers” at this season’s Feb. 5 trade deadline. This week, the Bulls are… going to be buyers? This is the kind of overreaction that one can expect out of the least competent current front office leader this side of maybe Kings GM Scott Perry, who apparently has been inspired by Chicago’s recent four-game win streak to jettison assets and equity in ...

The Knicks (27*-18) return to Madison Square Garden tonight as heavy favorites against a lowly Kings (12-35) team that spanked New York just two weeks ago.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has been full of praise for Joan Garcia and has labelled the summer signing “the best goalkeeper in the world.” Garcia swapped Espanyol for Barcelona in the summer and has gone on to impress in his first season for Hansi Flick’s side.

The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend is heading to the sunny beach town of Los Angeles this year. And despite how well Josh Giddey played this season, it looked like the Bulls wouldn’t have any representation. Or so we thought, until the NBA announced Matas Buzelis as a participant in the Rising Stars Game, which takes place on All-Star Friday. This will be Matas Buzelis’ second appearance in the Rising Stars Game as a Chicago Bull after playing on Team Mitch last season. However it’s important ...

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers have won nine of their last 13 games, and still aren’t close to playing up to their full potential. That’s both encouraging and frustrating.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t found their usual consistency on the defensive end this season.

After a brief hiatus, the Nets are back to their losing ways. Their most abrupt and recent one being an embarrassing loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. While many fans are aligned on the importance of the tank, the way Brooklyn is doing it now has definitely soured on a few people. […]
Luka Dončić has been the best player on every team he’s been on for nearly a decade. Considering he first started playing professionally in Spain for powerhouse Real Madrid at 16 and will not be 27 for another month, that’s saying something. But, Dončić is a true prodigy, someone whose preternatural feel for the game […]
