We’ve got a battle for third place in the Eastern Conference this evening, and it’s between two teams that few thought would be in this position three months ago.

Victor Wembanyama Injury Update: 1/7/26 vs. the Lakers

NBA•NBA

I would say that Victor Wembanyama logged 21.0 minutes in last night’s loss to the Grizzlies, but that’s sort of underselling it.

A day after being honored as Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year in Las Vegas, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been added to the Thunder’s injury report for Wednesday night. He’s officially listed as questionable with right knee bursitis. I’m not suggesting the two are connected. I’m simply presenting a timeline of events. I swear. In all […]
