The Golden State Warriors are anxious about the condition of Kristaps Porzingis: the Latvian center will miss his fourth straight game Saturday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, due to what the team has described as a “general illness”. Head coach Steve Kerr explained: I really can’t add much more. It’s a medical issue that…
He hasn’t played a single minute in his new uniform, but Trae Young has already made headlines in Washington.

More than the final score, though, what…
In Oklahoma City, this was far more than a regular-season game. The matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder reignited a rivalry that had been simmering since last year’s Conference semifinals, exploding in a fiery fourth quarter. At the center of it all, once again, was Nikola Jokic. With 8:03 remaining in…
The matchup between the Miami Heat and the Houston Rockets wasn’t among Saturday’s most anticipated NBA games, but it delivered far more than expected.
