Matias Testi, the Los Angeles Clippers equipment manager Blake Griffin punched during a fight in Toronto earlier this year, will not return next season. A rep for the Clippers told TMZ Sports Testi “no longer works for the team.” Griffin and Testi, who had been close friends for years, got into an argument in a restaurant back […]

Amar’e Stoudemire just retired as a member of the New York Knicks, but a new report suggests he had wanted to end his career with the Phoenix Suns. Stoudemire, remember, came off the board ninth in the 2002 NBA draft to the Suns, a team he spent eight years with before taking his talents to […]

Draymond Green delivered a kick to LeBron James’ groin in Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals that may have changed the course of sports history. Without it, the Warriors probably would’ve beaten the Cavs in the game that followed, and would’ve been crowned back-to-back champions. And James, once again, would’ve suffered another loss in […]

The new villain aura surrounding Kevin Durant got another boost this week. Durant’s Oklahoma City restaurant, aptly named Kd’s, shuttered its doors in the wake of Durant choosing to sign with the Golden State Warriors in free agency. Brianna Bailey of the Oklahoman obtained a quote on the matter and revealed ownership had always planned […]

Unrestricted free agent Dion Waiters has agreed to a one-year deal with the Miami Heat, reports

There’s no longer any doubt Kevin Durant is the NBA’s biggest villain. Durant and Team USA hit Staples Center Sunday night for an exhibition against China and it didn’t go so well for Durant, especially during player intros. Funnily enough, Durant went out of his way to compliment the crowd while suggesting he didn’t hear […]

The Boston Celtics might have Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz on the trade radar. Danny Ainge and the Celtics haven’t exactly struck gold this summer. The team missed on Kevin Durant and hasn’t found a way to swing a trade for a Russell Westbrook, DeMarcus Cousins or even Jahlil Okafor, among others. Hayward, though, […]

Paul George doesn’t look like he has skipped a beat. George took the court Friday against Argentina in an exhibition and posted 18 points, two boards and an assist in a lopsided 111-74 victory. Folks will recall the last time George took the court with Team USA, when he went up and came down, shattering […]

It’s hard to imagine many in the Oklahoma City area want to buy a Kevin Durant jersey right now. Durant pulled the worst move since The Decision recently, abandoning the Thunder for the Golden State Warriors. As many know, this might not stand as such a huge ordeal had he not went and joined the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers might have another trade in mind. The Lakers and president Mitch Kupchak brought on Jose Calderon in a bit of a salary dump recently after a somewhat disappointing summer. Somewhat, because while the team drafted Brandon Ingram, the big free-agency get was Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng, not Kevin Durant or […]

For Manu Ginobili, the Philadelphia 76ers were much more than a leverage piece for more money. It seems odd to think Ginobili might have signed with the rebuilding 76ers as opposed to sticking with the San Antonio Spurs, but it almost happened—which maybe isn’t that surprising considering this is the summer where Kevin Durant joined […]

Luis Scola is getting a taste of the big-city life with the Brooklyn Nets. The 36-year-old forward inked a deal with Brooklyn this offseason and had to relocate after spending last year with the Toronto Raptors. It’s been quite an adjustment for the big man from a rental standpoint, as he told Marc Berman of […]

Stephen Curry was probably excited that his home town, Charlotte, was set to host the 2017 All-Star game. With him playing high school ball there, returning to play in the game probably would’ve brought some nostalgia. Unfortunately, the All-Star game was moved because of the state’s House Bill 2, which effectively takes away anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, […]

Now that Kevin Durant is playing for an NBA team in California, it looks like he’s going to “hit ’em up,” judging by the new tattoo he just got. Durant showed up to Team USA practice on Thursday with an awesome Tupac tattoo on his leg, and you need to see it. A photo posted […]

The New York Knicks might not be done upgrading the roster for the 2016-17 season. Sam Amico of Amico Hoops reports the Knicks are among the teams interested in Milwaukee Bucks center Greg Monroe, who is

Some NBA players have the weirdest free throw routines. Before every attempt, Jeff Hornacek would stroke his cheek three times, Jason Kidd would blow a kiss and Karl Malone would talk to himself. Newly-acquired Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard used to sing songs in his head at the free-throw line to help calm himself down. […]

Delonte West has gone from the Cleveland Cavaliers to allegedly homeless to hoping for an NBA return. What a ride. West was a first-round pick in 2004 and played for four different teams, most notably with LeBron James and the Cavaliers (Pt. I). He then fell out of the league and into a rather public […]

The Sacramento Kings wont trade DeMarcus Cousins no matter how often teams such as the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers come calling. Cousins is the best big man in the league and the Kings are one of the worst teams. After an odd draft and overall odd summer, it’s no wonder the Kings continue to […]

Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony almost teamed up on the New York Knicks. Wade, now with the Chicago Bulls after ditching the Miami Heat, was just a few days out from joining the Knicks. That’s according to Anthony, who cites poor timing as the reason the alliance didn’t come together. Marc Berman of the New […]

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson wasted no time clearing up the extent of his rumored relationship with L.A. Rams cheerleader Cherise Sandra. Sandra posted a photo on Instagram (which she later deleted) in which she used spray paint to tag Thompson’s patio with her name. The “you and me baby” part of the caption […]

Legendary NBA strength coach Steve Hess has worked with some big dudes in his 20 years as Denver Nuggets trainer. Kenyon Martin, Andre Iguodala, Kenneth Faried come to mind. But Hess says the pound-for-pound strongest player he’s been exposed to is Earl Boykins, the pint-sized point guard who played 14 seasons in the NBA. Standing a mere […]

Team USA just got a little bit of help from Marc Gasol at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As some feared, the Memphis Grizzlies’ center will miss the event thanks to the broken right foot he suffered last year. Marc Berman of the New York Post broke the news and revealed Gasol’s replacement: Announcement Spain’s Marc […]

Houston Rockets superstar James Harden doesn’t lack confidence in his ability, that’s for sure. The 26-year-old guard averaged a career-best 29 points per game last season, and that was enough to earn him a four-year, $118 million extension to remain with the team. The Rockets, under new head coach Mike D’Antoni, did their best to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t get a seat at the table when Kevin Durant was meeting with teams in free agency. How come? The NBA superstar explained why earlier this week, via Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News: “Nothing against the Lakers, but I already had my mind set on who I wanted to […]
