Anthony Davis could miss “a number of months [depending on second opinion and if surgery is required]” after exiting Thursday’s 116-114 loss against the Utah Jazz with ligament damage in his left hand, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Friday on X. Davis will almost certainly be out past the Feb. 5 NBA Trade Deadline, casting serious […]

The days before the Las Vegas Raiders fired Pete Carroll, there were multiple reports that stated part owner Tom Brady, who is running the coaching search, may target Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

Earlier this week, we posed two simple questions now that the NBA Trade season has begun. The first asked if Dallas Mavericks fans thought the team would make a trade before the deadline. Nearly 9 in 10 voting fans think Dallas will do something before the deadline. Given that Dallas has made something happen for […]
Luka Dončić and Trae Young will always have a connection. They are part of the same 2018 draft class, were traded for each other on draft night, and Luka’s single greatest scoring performance, when he scored 73 points, came against Young and the Hawks. Now, another thing they have in common is being traded. Luka […]
There’s a flu bug ripping thru the Blackhawks room right now. Nick Foligno, Ilya Mikheyev and Arvid Söderblom were not at the morning skate on Friday before the Hawks host the Washington Capitals. So, after watching Blackhawks legend Scott Foster take reps at the morning skate, it makes sense that the Blackhawks would need a viable backup if Söderblom can’t go; the Blackhawks have a back-to-back with a trip to Nashville after the game tonight. They then play again on Monday night. Wi...
Tonight’s showdown between the Bucks vs Lakers at Crypto.com Arena is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated matchups of the week. With both teams treading water the last couple of weeks, this game offers a perfect snapshot of two heavyweights trying to find their championship stride under the bright lights of Los Angeles. The betting markets suggest a tight game, with the Lakers entering as slight home favorites in what is expected to be a high-octane, high-scoring affair where...
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we asked you about continued rumors that the Bucks are interested in adding to the roster via trade, but wondered if you would be willing to give up a first-round pick to do so. We also talk playoff chances, AJ Green, and rebounding. Here are the highlights: Thanks again for […]
Once a future face of the league, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant now may have to make his NBA home elsewhere, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania: The Memphis Grizzlies are entertaining offers to potentially move two-time All-Star Ja Morant ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, sources told ESPN. Multiple teams are pursuing Morant […]
In 2023, the Celtics swept the season series against the Raptors. In 2024, they did it again. In 2025, the Raptors stole one game, but were unable to force a tie. Now, in 2026, with the Raptors on pace to have their best regular season since 2020, the Celtics have beat the Raptors at home […]
Here I am, putting together an NBA Mock Draft. And even if I aim for the most realistic version possible, this is a league where, clearly, anything is possible. It’s been a weird week in the NBA. We watched a four-time NBA All-Star, Trae Young, still in his prime, get salary-dumped. We saw Rick Carlisle finally reach 1,000 career wins, a milestone that took nearly a month to secure because his team dropped thirteen straight games along the way. And somehow, we even saw an indoor basketbal...
Everyone knows the pressure of coaching basketball at the University of Kentucky. The Big Blue Nation has high expectations for the team year in and year out, and with such a passionate fan base, that means the pressure is on to perform. Coach Mark Pope knows what this program means to the fans due to […]
The Seattle Seahawks are 24-10 through two seasons under Mike Macdonald. His first season ended in a narrow playoff miss, while his second season is in progress and two home wins away from appearing in Super Bowl 60. I could rattle off all of the cool stats regarding Macdonald’s early success, but that’s absolutely not […]
In this episode of The Real Forno Show, hosted by Tyler Forness with producer Dave Stefano—a Vikings 1st & SKOL production—the duo breaks down the Minnesota Vikings’ critical offseason blueprint after a 9-8 season. Forness emphasizes the uncertainty around defensive coordinator Brian Flores, noting, “His contract expires on January 14th,” and speculates on teams waiting […]
It’s Friday night in Chicago and the Blackhawks are wearing black. Love to see it! The Washington Capitals are in town for a game between two teams that played just six days ago. When the two teams played last weekend, the Blackhawks didn’t have Connor Bedard in the lineup. That will NOT be the case tonight ! After the Bulls’ game was postponed because of humidity issues last night, there were some concerns about the ice surface. The folks at the United Center are some of the best at what...
Update: Joel Embiid has officially been upgrade to probable on the 1 p.m. injury report. Kelly Oubre Jr. is listed as available. The only other players on the report are the team’s G League assignments — Justin Edwards, Johni Broome and MarJon Beauchamp. The Magic’s injury report remains the same. The Philadelphia 76ers are coming […]
The Blackhawks look to continue their unbeaten start to 2026 on Friday night at the United Center against the Washington Capitals. Let’s start with the home team this evening because there’s important news to share: Connor Bedard says he’s ready to go. — Scott Powers ( @scottpowers.bsky.social ) January 9, 2026 at 10:55 AM While Bedard is back — and he was practicing with the top power-play unit, as one would expect — several other players (along with coach Jeff Blashill) ...
On Thursday night, the 17-20 Chicago Bulls were looking to stave off a four-game losing skid with a home clash against the similarly semi-mediocre 20-17 Miami Heat. Instead, a two-hour delay due to melting ice beneath the hardwood eventually spiraled into a decision from the two teams and the NBA to postpone the action to another day altogether. It was a strange broadcast to behold (more on that later). But at least the undermanned Bulls, who would have been playing on the second nig...
How will Boston respond after a disappointing loss? The Celtics were riding high after a strong December and wins in their first three games of 2026. That momentum came to an abrupt halt Wednesday night with a 114-110 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Losing to one of the Western Conference’s top teams is usually not […]
