The reigning G League champion Stockton Kings drafted Jabri Abdur-Rahim -- Shareef's son -- on Saturday, taking him with the 29th pick in the first round. Jabri Abdur-Rahim played with the Sacramento Kings in NBA Summer League. Jabri Abdur-Rahim spent his final college season at Providence, after three years at Georgia and his first year at Virginia.

Mavs 0-2 as 'Fire Nico!' chants grow loud again

DALLAS -- Many Mavericks fans vented their frustration, in what has recently become familiar fashion in Dallas, chanting for the termination of general manager Nico Harrison as the final minute played out in Friday night's 117-107 loss to the Washington Wizards. "Fire Nico!" chants have frequently been heard in the American Airlines Center since the stunning trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 2, months after the homegrown superstar had led the Mavs to the 2024 NBA Finals.

Prep talk: Donovan Webb of Golden Valley is point guard on the rise

When any basketball coach is raving about an opposing player, that sets off an alarm bell for sportswriters to pay attention and investigate. It turns out all the good things coaches are beginning to say about 6-foot-4 junior guard Donovan Webb of Golden Valley High are true. Canyon Country Canyon coach Ali Monfared said Webb might be the best player in the Foothill League, which held its media day at Canyon on Saturday.

Heat send crystal clear message to Pelle Larsson without saying a word

In the season-opener, Larsson logged just four minutes and finished with zero points on 0-1 shooting from the field. Unfortunately, he did have two fouls in that short stint. And that was probably one of the bigger reasons why he didn't get more time on the floor. His untimely fouling and decision-making have been an issue for him in the past. It's clear he hasn't completely shaken it off.

'These dudes are stupid': Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal weigh in on NBA gambling scandal

On Thursday morning, federal prosecutors unsealed two indictments that outlined separate schemes to rig sports bets and poker games. More than 30 people were arrested, including former Clippers player and current Portland head coach Chauncey Billups, who was charged with participating in a conspiracy to fix high-stakes card games run by Mafia families. Also arrested were Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, who is accused of being part of a scheme to provide private insider NBA information to help others profit from online bets, and retired player Damon Jones, who has been charged with taking part in both schemes.

The NBA Is Not Innocent in the Gambling Scandal

Players are trying their best to win; the games are on the level. If you lose that, if the games are fixed or the players are motivated by something other than the competition, the whole thing collapses. (This is why sports gambling was banned for nearly 100 years after the Black Sox scandal; it was understood by everyone involved, until very recently, that players and coaches gambling on their own games was sports' third rail.) There's no reason to watch a game you can't believe

Kurtenbach: The Warriors' impressive win over the Nuggets is a foreshadowing

Thursday morning, the NBA's worst came to light. There's no spinning that a player of note and an acting NBA head coach landing federal indictments in a betting probe is bad news. It is, in fact, the kind of crisis that can send an entire league into a tailspin. So maybe it was fitting -a karmic counterbalance - that mere hours later, the absolute best of the NBA was right there for the world to see, front and center at Chase Center.

Prop Bets Must Die

Professional-sports leagues would like you to believe they have the gambling problem under control. They have hired high-tech security companies to monitor wagers at a granular level and implemented sophisticated algorithmic systems to spot unusual gambling activity, ensuring that no athlete would be foolish enough to wager on a game. But they are clearly no match for the highly addictive, always-intriguing prop bet.

Heat's home run offseason trade has already changed everything

Both on and off the floor, it's pretty clear that the offseason acquisition of Norman Powell has completely changed everything for the Miami Heat. Powell gives the Heat a strong second option next to Tyler Herro (when he returns) and will offer plenty of off-court versatility if this season gets away from Miami. In many ways, trading for Powell could end up being one of the best transactions in recent team history. Of course, that's assuming they play what happens next correctly.
