Chicago Bulls star Josh Giddey could actually take the floor again, for the first time in three weeks, as soon as Tuesday! K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports that the 6-foot-7 point guard, who has missed the Bulls’ last 10 contests with a left hamstring strain, has seen his status for a home encounter with the ascendant Los Angeles Clippers upgraded to “questionable.” On Sunday, Giddey laced up his sneakers for his first five-on-five action since first suffering the injur...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 141 snaps in the NFC Divisional Round romp of the San Francisco 49ers. That number was inflated by garbage-time reps in the fourth quarter. It’s also important to remember that the Seahawks currently have two rookies on Injured Reserve and had four rookies inactive for this game as healthy […]

CLEVELAND — It’s been wrong to use injuries as an excuse for many of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ losses this season. They’ve had enough talent in many of those defeats to prevail still. Monday afternoon was different. They didn’t have the right combination of skill players to compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder and were thoroughly […]

No Deni Avdija? No problem. At least you wouldn’t think so from the Portland Trail Blazers’ response to Avdija missing three of four games this week due to injury. Not only have the Blazers won three in a row, two of their players—Shaedon Sharpe and Donovan Clingan—earned consideration for NBA Player of the Week. When […]

There’s been a lot of rumors about other teams’ interest in Michael Porter Jr. (latest reportedly from Milwaukee) and Nic Claxton (as always from the Lakers) and even Day’Ron Sharpe (at least historically from Boston), but nothing about Cam Thomas. Thomas famously exercised his qualifying offer back in the summer and less famously switched agents […]

The San Francisco 49ers’ season came to a screeching halt after a 41-6 loss to Seattle in the NFC Divisional round. The opening kickoff was returned for a touchdown, and it felt like the 49ers couldn’t climb out of the early hole all game. It only got worse as the 49ers’ offense doubled their scoring […]

The Chicago Bulls might be getting their best player back this week. On Sunday, $100 million point guard Josh Giddey partook in his first five-on-five practice since suffering a hamstring strain during a workout with the Bulls’ NBAGL affiliate, the Windy City Bulls. Giddey’s All-Star reserve dreams may be dashed if he misses much more time. We already know he missed out on starting , although that never felt like a real possibility. In 10 games without the 6-foot-7 Aussie, the Bulls have ...

I’m going to be so real here — I hate the NBA trade deadline! It’s weeks of baseless rumours, being on edge, waiting for the shoe to drop… even though it might never drop. It has me on edge every year, and I sit here every February just counting down the seconds until it’s over. […]

Editor’s note: This article was written before the All-Star Starters were announced. Selecting the East is much harder than the West. Not because there are too many deserving candidates, but rather that there are too few. How is there still such a discrepancy in talent when the league has more depth than ever? It’s a […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t lived up to the lofty expectations they set coming into this season. That comes with consequences when it comes to individual accolades, as Donovan Mitchell has just found out. Mitchell was wrongly excluded from being an Eastern Conference All-Star starter despite three guards being chosen for the starting lineup. The starters […]
