Tyler Herro is unlikely to rejoin Heat for entire five-game road trip due to rib injury

This has somehow been the most injury plagued season of Tyler Herro’s entire seven-year career with the Miami Heat, which has already been filled with an assortment of availability issues throughout. Herro has appeared in just 11 of the Heat’s first 42 games during this 2025-26 campaign thus far. And that figure is likely to […] The post Tyler Herro is unlikely to rejoin Heat for entire five-game road trip due to rib injury appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Bucks vs. Hawks Player Grades: Kuzma in, KPJ out and the Bucks hold on

Something had to be done following the embarrassing losses the Milwaukee Bucks have piled up recently and Doc Rivers opted for wholesale changes, starting Kyle Kuzma in favour of Kevin Porter Jr. and handing Gary Trent Jr. a DNP-CD in favour of Pete Nance. The moves proved positive for the most part, the Bucks leading […]

Knicks Postgame: Scenes from NY forcing Leon’s hand

Our world needs heroes with the integrity of Martin Luther King, Jr. Let us all pay him homage today. The great ones deserve our respect. Who didn’t deserve such reverence this evening? The Knicks (25*-18)! On the day that Jalen Brunson was minted as an All-Star starter, New York embarrassed itself against the shorthanded Dallas […]

LIVE Discussion: Phoenix Suns at Brooklyn Nets, 7:30 PM ET

The Brooklyn Nets couldn’t get it done against the Bulls in the home-and-home. They’re back in Brooklyn on Monday where they’ll welcome former Nets assistant Jordan Ott and his new-look Suns. It’s Ott’s first season as head coach after he spent six years with the Nets, spanning from Kenny Atkinson to Jacque Vaughn. Onto the […]

Nick Nurse details Sixers’ plan for Jared McCain

As his playing time continues to wane, culminating in a DNP-CD on Jan. 17 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Sixers assigned Jared McCain to their G-League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats for a chance at extended run. It’s the second time they’ve sent him down this season, the first being a two-game stint in mid-November. Despite […]

Josh Giddey Upgraded AGAIN Ahead of Bulls-Clippers Clash Tuesday!

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...

Blazers Get Decent Grade from ESPN at Mid-Season

The NBA season is a little more than halfway over for the 30 member franchises vying for the 2026 NBA Playoffs race. In honor of the event, Kevin Pelton of ESPN has offered grades for each team based on the season so far. The Portland Trail Blazers did not earn an A, but they got […]

Thunder outclass Cavs 136-104

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 […]

Bam Adebayo named East Player of the Week after dominant stretch for Heat

The NBA announced that Bam Adebayo has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played from Monday, January 12 through Sunday, January 18.

Two Blazers Earn Consideration for NBA Player of the Week

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 […]

RUMOR ROUND-UP: No Cam Thomas trade talk, but a lot new on court

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 […]

Bulls Weekly Preview: Giddey On the Mend, Possible 0-3 Week Downloading?

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 ...

Will the Toronto Raptors do anything at the trade deadline?

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. […]
