There is no formal justification, however replays demonstrate George’s right knee extended too far. The Los Angeles Clippers are worried about the health of one of its best players, which is concerning for a team that has been waiting all season to prove its championship mettle. In the final minutes of Tuesday night’s 101-100 loss […]

You are probably already aware of Damian Lillard’s 71-point performance against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. He accomplished both historically unprecedented accomplishments in the NBA — or, in the case of the latter, since the advent of the shot-location monitoring era — in under 39 minutes with a total shot distance of 420 feet […]

James Harden was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers from the Brooklyn Nets after another turbulent departure from a team, but it hasn’t even been two full years. Already, rumors are circulating that he may join another team. The Athletic’s Sam Amick and Kelly Iko say that Harden is “serious” about a potential return to the […]

Let’s all agree to forget the 109-104 victory over the Timberwolves that the Warriors earned on Sunday. It was a circus there. But everything works out in the end.

Losing track of the NBA record book is simple. Most of the time, we’re dealing with gigantic four- and five-digit numbers, and unlike a sport like baseball, where raw numbers frequently take center stage, most basketball statistics focus on averages. Michael Jordan averaged roughly 30 points each game, although I’m not sure how many points […]

Five of the NBA’s most recognizable awards underwent a total makeover, and five of them now bear the names of Hall of Fame players, as part of the organization’s Tuesday morning announcement. Hakeem Olajuwon is the recipient of the Defensive Player of the Year award, which bears an uncanny resemblance to Olajuwon’s lockdown defense. The […]

Even describing Stephen Curry as enjoying another MVP-level season undersells how dominant he has been. It would be difficult to claim that the league has featured a greater player so far. That doesn’t necessarily mean Curry will win MVP; the Warriors would likely need to improve their position in the standings for that to happen, […]

There are few better praises than “he’s a dog” coming from Jrue Holiday. Holiday went a step farther when praising teammate Jevon Carter, saying, “He’s even more of a hound than I am.” No matter who it is, Holiday vowed to pursue you. “He’s one of those vicious dogs, so you should never be on […]
