Golden State's Jonathan Kuminga has demanded a trade away from the Warriors as he becomes eligible to be moved Thursday, sources tell ESPN. Full story ...

Well, boys and girls. Looks like we will continue to beat that horse! The offseason fun/drama is in full effect now. The press conferences from KAM and KOC were interesting.

On Wednesday night, the Chicago Bulls survived a fourth-quarter collapse to stave off an embarrassing loss (and a career night from Brice Sensabaugh) to a blatantly tanking Utah Jazz, riding Nikola Vucevic ‘s season-high 35-point night to a 128-126 win. Coby White , back on the roster and in the starting five, had yet another shaky night as he tries to find his rhythm after a calf injury.
Although White and fellow (fill-in) starting guard Tre Jones failed to score in double figures, a who...

The Blackhawks are (hopefully, knock on wood) over their illness situation and ready to skate a full, healthy game tonight against a Calgary Flames squad that comes in 7-16-2 on the road. They’re mentioned as sellers right now as frequently as the Blackhawks were the past few years. This is a good opportunity for the Hawks to pick up a game.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down.
This season has largely gone sideways for the Flames, who enter the midpoint of the year sitting 30th in the league by points percentage (.457) and looking every bit like a team stuck in neutral. On paper, they look mostly average — the Flames own 51.01 percent of shot attempts (12th in ...

Back in November, when Karl-Anthony Towns was off to the worst offensive start of his career, I began writing this call-to-action for him to get his act together.
