After being down big in the first half, Team LeBron explodes in the second half of the NBA All-Star game to come away with a win over Team Giannis. Kevin Durant scored 31 points to win the game’s MVP as Team LeBron had a furious second-half comeback to defeat Team Giannis in the All-Star Game,

Robin Lopez surely wants to play for a contender, and some contenders will want him, but the Chicago Bulls aren’t moving toward the easiest path to allow the move. At first glance, a veteran player on an expiring contract who’s averaging 16.3 minutes per game doesn’t have much value to a team with a 10-33
1:19 AM ET CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki and Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade said goodbye to the All-Star Game stage in style as both future Hall of Famers were honored during Sunday night’s Team LeBron 178-164 victory over Team Giannis. Nowitzki and Wade were added to the All-Star pool of players
Last week, the NBA’s trade deadline finally came and went — along with plenty of worthwhile fireworks of their own — and buyout season is officially in full swing. But as franchises continue bolstering their roster ahead of the postseason (or lottery-bound future efforts), another deadline occurred recently without much fanfare. In January, the cutoff
For the Hornets, patience is a virtue, and the team will benefit from Mitch Kupchak electing to display it in advance of the trade deadline. The Charlotte Hornets’ fanbase, understandably, was a little restless going into Thursday’s trade deadline. The team is going nowhere, just as it had in the previous seasons under Steve Clifford,

Dell Demps and the Pelicans were going to have to part ways eventually. But why now, when he seemed to be executing ownership’s plan properly? The New Orleans Pelicans parted ways with long-time GM Dell Demps this morning, ending the ninth longest GM tenure currently active in the NBA. Demps’ tenure was a rocky one,
8:44 PM ET Betting on LeBron James to make the postseason has been a wise (and profitable) move historically. Since missing the playoffs in his first two seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, James’ teams have made the postseason 13 consecutive times. But will his Los Angeles Lakers make the playoffs this season? One Las Vegas
As his Boston Celtic teammates got some shots up to prepare for a morning practice in Cleveland, Gordon Hayward sat in a chair on the baseline watching. Quicken Loans Arena held a particular place in his mind. Not because of a championship memory, nor for any individual accomplishment. But because nearly five months after an
The Celtics have the talent to win an NBA Championship but the chemistry is off. Can a deal before the trade deadline set things right for Boston? Coming into the season, quite a few NBA observers were convinced the Boston Celtics were the class of the Eastern Conference. Things haven’t gone that smoothly for Brad
After a demoralizing loss in Orlando last week, the mood was predictably heavy in the Boston Celtics locker room. Players hunched over their leather seats, blankly staring forward as their thoughts remained on the missed opportunity from just minutes before. Terry Rozier sat numbly in his stall, finally on the same page as his teammates.
12:16 AM ET CHARLOTTE — On Saturday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver held his annual state-of-the-league news conference. He spoke for about 40 minutes, said thousands of words and covered an array of topics. Here are six of the most important things he said and what they mean for the future of the NBA: On public
After being told for weeks that the Boston Celtics were not on Anthony Davis’ list, we’re now being told AD would be cool with wearing Celtic green. Many in the media were being told for weeks that Anthony Davis was not interested in being a Boston Celtic. Now, on the eve of the All-Star Game,
Atlanta Hawks super-elder Vince Carter was on fire from the field on Tuesday night. So much so, that the video staff had an NBA Jams moment. Vince Carter of the Atlanta Hawks is proving to the rest of the NBA world that age is nothing but a number. Previously thought of like a mentor to
3:18 PM ET CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With Michael Jordan hosting All-Star weekend as the only former player to serve as the principal owner of an NBA team, LeBron James said that while team ownership is a goal for when he’s finished playing, it’s not his singular focus. “It’s not that it’s intoxicating to me, and
Throughout the week, Basketball Insiders has released post-deadline rankings on teams in various divisions around the NBA, and next up is the Southwest Division. The Southwest is incredibly diverse this season. It features a team that is gunning for the NBA Finals, teams that can’t decide to what extent they want to tank and everything
The Washington Wizards have been awful this season. How bad? Their awfulness is bleeding into mid-game entertainment. Not even Power Wheels are safe.

The former NBA Commissioner claimed in an upcoming podcast that Kaepernick would still have a job if the NFL had been more progressive. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern is full of crap. Stern’s attempt to imply that the NBA is somehow more enlightened – dare I say “woke” as a middle-aged white man – by
Last year’s battle for Rookie of the Year was one of the more contentious in recent history. Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell battled for the honor with many questioning whether or not Simmons counted as a “true” rookie since he had sat out what would have been his first season due to injury. Simmons ended
The Utah Jazz’s second-half surge is not necessarily a reprise of last season’s stunning playoff push. Quin Snyder isn’t interested in looking backward. “This whole season, I think we’ve tried to get away from the whole idea of déjà vu,” he told reporters after a recent game against Golden State. The resemblance between this season
12:51 AM ET CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is used to pulling off trick shots that make fans go crazy and videos go viral — but Friday it was his mother, Sonya, who delivered the kind of moment her son has perfected. As part of a Curry Family Foundation event at

The Wizards are a team whose future is unclear. Could they find some answers in the newly acquired Bobby Portis? Bobby Portis probably has the lowest profile of the three players involved in last week’s trade between the Bulls and Wizards, but he might end up being the most important. On its surface the transaction wasn’t
The Spurs arguably have the best coach in the NBA, but not even Gregg Popovich can get this team to the playoffs without Dejounte Murray. Dejounte Murray is one of the most talented players on the Spurs roster. Unfortunately, his torn ACL is going to keep him out of action for the entire 2018-19 season.
The San Antonio Spurs are shifting to a new era. Injuries to their youth are setting back their developmental opportunities, which may be good for Spurs. In 1997, the San Antonio Spurs dropped the interim tag on head coach Gregg Popovich. They drafted Tim Duncan first overall. From this point on, San Antonio won five
