The San Antonio Spurs’ season effectively came to an end this morning when All-Star center Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a blood clot in his shoulder.

The 44-10, East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers are so good that their greatness has been taken for granted. In the 10 games prior to the All-Star break, they weren’t talked about much, but over that span, they went 8-2 with the league’s second-best net rating, a plus-14.6 mark that would be the best in NBA history across […]

It wasn’t supposed to be this way; Mark Williams was supposed to be a Laker. The 23-year-old center was always going to be suiting up in tonight’s lone NBA game, regardless of for which team. Instead of catching lobs from Luka Dončić and LeBron James, he’ll instead be donning a Hornets uniform once again after […]
