All of a sudden, the Sacramento Kings’ position in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament race looks a lot better. After losing Victor Wembanyama for the season, the San Antonio Spurs are all but finished, and both the Phoenix Suns and once-hot Portland Trail Blazers have lost four in a row.

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 […]
