Yang Hansen made headlines the moment the Portland Trail Blazers selected him in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. The world waited to see if the prodigy from China would make a splash in the American league. So far, he hasn’t. The 7’1 center has appeared in 25 games, averaging just 8.4 minutes […]

The Blackhawks were back to practice on Wednesday and looked as close to full health as they have in a few months. Part of that was Andre Burakovsky’s return from an illness that sidelined him on Monday night against Winnipeg, but the biggest step in that direction was Frank Nazar’s full participation in practice, suggesting he’ll play for the first time in a month when the Hawks visit the Hurricanes on Thursday night. Frank Nazar said he feels ready to go after being out since Dec. ...

I can count on my fingers and toes how many days are left until the NBA trade deadline. But I’d need everyone’s fingers if I tried to count how many trade rumors the Chicago Bulls are tied to. With seven expiring contracts on the books, the Bulls should be the belle of the ball when it comes to trade negotiations. Yet with nothing materializing so far, Chicago risks striking out on extracting real value from its assets — a headline the franchise seems oddly comfortable wearing. Still...

When perusing Portland Trail Blazers highlights and news briefs, two names are bound to come up more than any other: high-flying guard Shaedon Sharpe and Mr. Everything, Deni Avdija. Next to them toils a less-heralded forward, known well in Portland circles but absent from national discussion: Toumani Camara. In his third year, Camara is averaging […]

Oh boy, welcome back to our annual Socratic seminar about “should the Celtics make a trade this year?” A tradition unlike any other, it’s one of the most important questions for each Celtics season — answering it can reflect the state of the team, the direction and goals for the coming playoff run or tanking extravaganza.

The Seattle Seahawks fielded a surprisingly potent offense during the 2025 season, setting a franchise record for points scored on the season. Much of the credit for the offense being as prolific as it was goes to third year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the regular season with a league-leading 1,793 receiving yards as […]

When Joey and Jesse Buss were unexpectedly fired from their front-office positions in late 2025, it became clear how strained the relationship was between the youngest Buss siblings and Jeanie.

The Seattle Seahawks need some reinforcements at running back following the season-ending ACL tear suffered by Zach Charbonnet. It looks like some help could be on the way.

The Blackhawks will have forward Frank Nazar back in the lineup on Thursday night in Carolina. Nazar, who turned 22 on Jan. 14, has been out since getting hit in the jaw by a puck on Dec. 20. He has six goals and 15 assists in 33 games before the injury. The Blackhawks had Nazar skating between Tyler Bertuzzi and Ryan Donato at practice on Wednesday in Chicago. He was also working with the second power play unit. André Burakovsky will also return to the Blackhawks’ lineup on Thu...

The Toronto Raptors are fresh off one of their best performances of the season, a 145-127 win against the Golden State Warriors – despite being down four rotation players – in which Immanuel Quickley dropped a career-high 40 points and 10 assists. Now, they’ll be shorthanded and on short rest as they take on the Sacramento […]

It burns a little, this one. Yeah. To blow that lead. Against this opponent, in their building. It burns. No two ways about it. I’d love to breeze through this and move on to the next, but goodness. We’re probably going to have to sit with it for a minute. Because that was about as […]

Sure, they’ve had some frustrating losses get away from them, but halfway through the season, the Sixers are in as good a spot as any optimist could have hoped for before the season. At 23-19, they have set themselves up to not just make the playoffs, but potentially nab a top-six spot to avoid the […]

If any game — really, any half — exemplifies the season that UNC Wilmington has been having, it’d probably be Jan. 10’s second half against Stony Brook. Shorthanded, and on the second leg of a due-north road trip, the Seahawks headed into the locker room for halftime trailing 43-21 against one of the CAA’s worst […]

The Seattle Seahawks traded for Rashid Shaheed, presumably, to help make the passing game more explosive. That hasn’t quite materialized yet, and ideally he’s extended soon so we can see him with a full offseason more integrated as a wide receiver. In the meantime, Shaheed has made the once nightmarish Seahawks kick and punt return […]

The Knicks (25*-18) assemble on their home court again, desperate to avoid a season-worst, fifth-straight loss. They couldn’t ask for a better opponent to right the ship.

Wow, wow, wow. Yes, the Los Angeles Clippers were shorthanded, but it sure didn’t look like the Chicago Bulls had any trouble taking care of business last night. They played a beautiful brand of basketball, and did it in front of QB1 and PCA, no less. Honestly, what more could you ask for? With another win in the books, the Bulls are somehow inching closer to a real playoff spot. Not the fake, awkward play-in territory, a legitimate playoff position. And with the trade deadline approachin...

The NBA’s 65-game minimum for award eligibility is […]
