Luka and LeBron Too Much As Lakers Top Bulls 129-118 – January 26, 2026
I know, it was probably wrong of me to expect the Chicago Bulls to defend and beat one of the best offenses in the NBA. Especially one where Chicago is staring at two massive mismatches in LeBron James and Luka Dončić. That blind faith came at a cost, paid in full by a Dončić stat line that definitely padded his season averages. Chicago had chances late to make things interesting, but in my opinion, it was too little, too late. The Moment that the Bulls Lost the Game The Chicago...

Matas Buzelis is Going To All-Star Weekend! Rising Stars Announced
The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend is heading to the sunny beach town of Los Angeles this year. And despite how well Josh Giddey played this season, it looked like the Bulls wouldn’t have any representation. Or so we thought, until the NBA announced Matas Buzelis as a participant in the Rising Stars Game, which takes place on All-Star Friday. This will be Matas Buzelis’ second appearance in the Rising Stars Game as a Chicago Bull after playing on Team Mitch last season. However it’s important ...
Coby White Finishes as Runner-Up for NBA’s East Player of the Week Award
Coby White finally looks like Coby White again! The 6-foot-4 Chicago Bulls combo guard has had a rough first half of the season, missing 21 bouts mostly due to a lingering calf strain. His 3-point shooting seemed to take the biggest hit in the offing. Prior to last week, the North Carolina product had been connecting on a low-for-him 31.3 percent shooting on 6.6 takes from distance. But he fully turned things around last week. The league at large noticed, and White finished as a...
Pre-Gamin’: Lakers at Bulls (7:00 CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More
Our 23-22 Chicago Bulls have quietly pieced together a four-game win streak, despite being without best player Josh Giddey for two of those victories. Tonight, they’ll look to extend that run to five straight against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers (27-17), who come in in having gone just 4-6 over their last 10 contests. On the court, the Lakers have looked anything but defensive. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for their image off the court. LA has been mired in some off-court cont...

Bulls Weekly Preview: Two Back-To-Backs in Loaded Pre-Deadline Schedule
Riding a wave of good vibes thanks to an ongoing four-game win streak and the fun of Derrick Rose ‘s jersey retirement celebration, the Chicago Bulls face a tough test this week. The Bulls are set to play five games in seven nights, including two back-to-back slates. Three of those games will be played against the frisky Miami Heat. For whatever reason, Billy Donovan has kept Josh Giddey on the bench during his two games back from a hamstring strain, rather than offering up a quicker hook...
Shedeur Sanders is Apparently Going to the Pro Bowl
The double-take I did when I saw the news that Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was Pro Bowl bound would have been a scene-stealer had I been caught on candid camera. I can’t imagine I was alone in feeling surprised that the Browns rookie quarterback was named as a Pro Bowl replacement on Monday. Nevertheless, the news is real. Surprising, but real: Shedeur Sanders is being added to the Pro Bowl Games roster, a source confirmed to ESPN. Sanders will replace Drake Maye, wh...
Blackhawks Assign Nick Lardis To Rockford
We’ve talked about the Blackhawks’ looming roster decisions here over the past few weeks as the team gets more healthy. One of those decisions came before the team flew to Minnesota on Monday. The Blackhawks assigned forward Nick Lardis to the Rockford IceHogs. Lardis was on the fifth line at the practice on Monday, indicating he wasn’t in the rotation for Tuesday night’s game. Lardis was named an AHL All-Star. Being assigned back to the IceHogs means he can participate in that ...

Utilityman Karson Simas May Be the Cubs’ Next Minor League Signing
I know that the big league moves draw most of the attention – and, for good reason, since they are designed to generate most of the big league impact – but I have been very pleased by the Chicago Cubs’ front office continuing to supplement deeper within the organization throughout December and January. Plenty of reclamation pitching signings , as always, and a number of more development-inclined pitcher signings, too. There was also the Scott Kingery signing late last year as Triple-A dep...

Around the NFL: Philip Rivers Pulls Out, Stafford Mum on Future, Rodgers Return? More
Philip Rivers is no longer in the mix for the Buffalo Bills’ head-coaching vacancy. Phillip Rivers Pulls Out of Bills Coaching Search According to NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo ( via X ), Rivers has withdrawn his name from consideration just days after interviewing with the Bills, who fired Sean McDermott following a 33-30 divisional-round loss to the Denver Broncos. The former Chargers and Colts quarterback, now 44, intrigued Buffalo as a high-upside, outside-the-box candidate — but ult...
