Edwards, who is having a career year so far this season, has established himself as one of the best players in the NBA.
Sometimes even Donovan Dent needs to be told he's Donovan Dent. "I just keep reminding him of who he is," Skyy Clark said of his message to his UCLA teammate who has been pushing through a tough opening stretch as a Bruin. The most highly coveted point guard in the transfer portal, Dent arrived on campus with the pedigree of an All-American honorable mention who was expected to immediately elevate his new team. Among his many talents were strong three-point shooting and an ability to blow by defenders to the rim.
But no. This 905 team is different. They came out in the third quarter like bats out of hell and completed an improbable comeback, winning the second half 63-33 and ultimately taking the game 111-102 to extend their unbelievable start to 12-0. If they didn't lose this game, will there ever be one that's out of their grasp? Jonathan Mogbo skied for a putback dunk,
In June 2023, the Suns acquired Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards, a deal that came on the heels of Phoenix landing Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets before that year's trade deadline. After the moves, new owner Mat Ishbia hailed the creation of the NBA's next superteam. Those trades rattled the NBA landscape. The league is in a far different place two years later.
The Raptors 905 have set the record for the best start in G League history. A 115-108 victory against the Delaware Blue Coats on Wednesday night at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre improved the 905's record to 11-0, marking the most consecutive wins to start a season ever. In the deciding game Wednesday night, forward Jonathan Mogbo stuffed the stat sheet, finishing with 20 points, five rebounds, and five stocks, while shooting 8-for-11 from the field.
Larsson, one of the Heat's most important reserves, left Tuesday's game in the second quarter after incidentally stepping on Andrew Wiggins' ankle. The injury occurred after a made basket from Wendell Carter Jr., where Larsson was helped off the court by his teammates. He was unable to put weight on his ankle. Thankfully, for Larsson and the Heat, they will be getting plenty of rest over the next two weeks.
Ja Morant will be traded - let's get that out of the way. If it's not during this season, it will be in the offseason. There's too much blood flowing in Memphis. It started flowing a season ago, and it will continue to flow until the wound is stitched. Why are the Miami Heat a hot topic as it relates to Morant? Because the Heat - a team worthy of having a superstar repping South Beach at all times - need to replace Jimmy Butler.
The Washington Wizards have made it clear since their rebuild began that a major part of the process would be bringing in veteran leaders that could play a pivotal role in the development of their young core. Washington tried their hand at finding veteran mentors by trading for Malcolm Brogdon, signing Jonas Valanciunas, taking on the contracts of veterans like Khris Middleton
In a recent article from Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes, CJ McCollum was listed as the Wizards' most likely trade candidate. \"It's not easy to pick out destinations for a defensively challenged combo guard, even one that has scored as reliably as McCollum has throughout his career,"Hughes said. "But if he keeps up his current levels of production, efficiency and health, he might be moveable to a contender that sends back longer-term money with a draft asset attached."
A less-redacted court filing in a lawsuit against Mat Ishbia includes new financial details that two Phoenix Suns minority owners say could threaten Ishbia's majority ownership of the team. The filing, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN on Tuesday, is from a lawsuit filed Nov. 24 in Delaware State Court by attorneys representing Scott Seldin and Andy Kohlberg, two Suns minority owners.
"I really appreciate the Lakers and the league," Doncic said after the court swap was put in place. "They did us a favor. I was talking about it, so I really appreciate both of them, just changing the court and giving us [a chance to] stay healthy."
