That didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after the Spurs waived forward Jeremy Sochan, ESPN’s Shams Charania is reporting he to sign with one of many potential suitors: the New York Knicks. The Knicks were the main team listed as a potential trade partner for Sochan before the trade deadline, but talks reportedly stalled […]
NBA All-Star Weekend is upon us. The Portland Trail Blazers have one game left to take care of before the break, a tilt with the Utah Jazz tonight. After that, it’ll be time for the annual festivities. To prepare you, here’s a complete list of activities along with any Trail Blazers players who might be […]
This week was a mixed bag for the Lakers. On the plus side, they won a pair of games and got Austin Reaves back. On the negative side, they lost to the top two teams in the West, Luka Dončić got hurt and LeBron James said they weren’t a championship team. Add it all up, […]
On Christmas Eve, Baylor sent shockwaves around NCAA by signing 7-foot center James Nnaji, the No. 31 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft who never actually signed an NBA contract. His rights were originally owned by the Detroit Pistons before getting moved to Charlotte. But Nnaji spent time overseas in Spain and, most recently, […]
Earlier this week, ESPN released its post-trade-deadline updated power rankings. Houston came in at the number seven spot, slipping one spot from their previously held sixth spot. This puts Houston behind the Thunder, Spurs, and Nuggets in the Western Conference and behind the Pistons, Knicks, and Celtics in the Eastern Conference. NBA.com cited Houston’s very close […]
The Spurs’ reach at All-Star weekend keeps getting wider. With Giannis Antetokounmpo ruled out with a calf strain, Commissioner Adam Silver has selected Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox as his injury replacement. In one of the quirks from this USA vs. World format, Fox will replace Norman Powell on Team Stars, and Norman Powell will be […]
Utah Jazz center Jaren Jackson Jr. will miss the rest of the 2025-26 NBA season due to a surgery to remove a localized pigmented villonodular synovitis growth in his left knee. The Jazz released the news this morning. Here’s the text of their update: SALT LAKE CITY (Feb. 12, 2026) – The Utah Jazz announced today […]
According to Shams Charania, Jeremy Sochan intends to sign with the Knicks, turning some pre-trade-deadline chatter into an actual addition for the team. Sochan, at least from a visual standpoint, pulls off the Dennis Rodman look to a T. The hair, the tattoos, even the now former No. 10 Spurs uniform all felt like a […]
Miami Heat two-way guard Jahmir Young was named a replacement for the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars game, the league announced Thursday. He will replace Chicago Bulls guard Mac McClung, who will miss the event with a calf injury.

UPDATE: Trail Blazers players Deni Avdija (lower back injury management) and Robert Williams III (left knee injury management) are both questionable to play in tonight’s game. The Portland Trail Blazers are taking on the Utah Jazz on the second night of a back-to-back right before the NBA All-Star break. Portland is coming off of a […]
Nikola Vučević delivered his most complete performance as a Celtic against a familiar opponent—his former team. Heading into the All-Star break, Vuc ensured he left a lasting impression, finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in a poised, controlled outing. It was a performance that reflected both rhythm and growing comfort within Boston’s system. […]
AC Milan travel to the Arena Garibaldi as clear favourites in the Serie A clash against lowly Pisa. While the hosts are level on points with rock-bottom Hellas Verona, Milan have a chance to cut Inter’s lead at the top to five points. Sitting eight points behind neighbourhood rivals Inter, Milan emerge as the only […]
The Philadelphia 76ers head into the NBA All-Star break at 30-24, good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. On the surface, that’s perfectly fine, a modest overperformance relative to our preseason expectations. However, the team’s current two-game losing streak is a flashing warning sign for danger ahead. Now, you might be thinking, ‘Two-game losing […]
Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington was named a replacement for the Castrol Rising Stars game, the NBA announced Thursday. Carrington replaces teammate Alex Sarr, who is sidelined for “approximately two weeks” with a right hamstring strain. The second-year guard has appeared in all 53 of Washington’s games this season. He’s averaged 10.2 points and 4.6 […]
The NBA Trade Deadline, for better or worse, is behind us. Out goes Jared McCain and Eric Gordon. In comes draft picks and a bunch of seemingly temporary players. Despite what your opinion might be, the Sixers freed up two roster spots and seem to be weighing all options there. But who makes sense? Is […]
I feel for Bulls fans. Celtics are so lucky to have Brad and Joe at the top. I get that having a bad record is good to get a lottery pick but tanking just feels wrong to me. I'm so glad that the Celtics didn't buy into that "gap year" talk before the season. The comment about Reinsdorf keeping the team mid so he doesn't call attention to himself cracked me up. I like what I have seen from Vuc so far. My favorites are in bold. What ar...
Hey, the Sixers only lost by 49 points on Wednesday night! What a way to cruise into the All-Star break! Before this weekend’s festivities, I’m here to hit you with the latest edition of my “5 Sixers thoughts” column. Let’s get after it… The Sixers sure could use Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe right now… […]
Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr will miss approximately two weeks with a right hamstring strain, the team announced Thursday. Sarr, 20, was a late addition to Washington’s injury report and was held out of the team’s 138-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. He will miss the Castrol Rising Stars game this Friday and […]
The San Antonio Spurs maintained their winning ways on a night both De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama dominated offensively and defensively (in the latter portion, at least). Fox led all players with 27 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals while Wembanyama had 26 points and 9 rebounds. Heading into the mid-season break, the Silver and […]
The Milwaukee Bucks, winners of four of their last five, do battle for the final time before the All-Star break tonight when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder smashed the Bucks in the first game this season, but without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, it could be closer this time (though I’m not holding my […]
It never gets old when Knicks fans invade road arenas to root for the visiting team. On Wednesday, it happened again to the poor 76cheesteaks. José, José, José! Mike Brown On Alvarado’s fire and urgency: “His quickness, his ability to shoot the basketball, his ability to pass and make plays without getting knocked off his […]
Most know that this blog has been around for quite a while (21 years and counting) and the community has evolved over the years. We have some people that have been commenting since the first days, some that joined during the title years, some that joined just to complain about the down years, and some […]
The Wizards lost by 25 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game that I just don’t want to think or write about. Except for this: the person watching last night’s game with me thought it was nice James Harden was introduced as part of a ceremony to honor old-time players. They were shocked to learn […]
The Sixers’ woes against the Knicks go beyond the 49-point thrashing they received on national television on Wednesday evening. They go beyond the remnants of the team’s 2024 playoff loss to New York. When the Knicks come to South Philadelphia, those issues begin before tip-off. The Sixers have a Knicks fan problem that was exacerbated […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers ran over a bad Washington Wizards team 138-113 on Wednesday evening. The stats in the table below are taken from Cleaning the Glass. Now, let’s dive into the numbers.
