Iman Shumpert out with hurt shoulder

The severity of the injury was unclear. Coach Mike Woodson said after the Knicks’ 114-88 win that he wasn’t sure how long Shumpert would be out for.

Starting Five: Rose or Rondo?

One thing I always preach early in the season is to keep things in perspective. We aren’t even two weeks into the 2015-16 campaign, and most teams have played just seven or eight games. If it were January, we would speak of seven to eight contests or two weeks as a “stretch of games” or […]

Little John Wall’s unvarnished climb

All right. Where would you be if the NBA never worked out for you — the money, the fame, the whole package? “I’d probably be in the streets or in jail,” he responds, emotionless. The 24-year-old All-Star point guard sits upright and thinks on it some more. “A lot of people in the league will […]
