Warriors sign Damion Lee to multiyear contract, bring back Chriss
The team also brought back forward Marquese Chriss as a two-way player after he had been waived to clear room for Lee’s promotion. With Lee coming up, that left an open two-way spot and Chriss came through waivers and was available. Chriss, 22, will split time with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League. […]
Continue readingJoel Embiid, Under Armour to launch signature shoe later this year
Officially dubbed the Under Armour Embiid 1, the late 2020 launch will make Embiid the only current center in the league with his own signature shoe. “It’s been a long and great process,” Embiid said. “It’s not a big man shoe. It’s a shoe for any basketball player.” Only sixteen current NBA players have their […]
Continue readingLet’s go on a road trip with the NBA-best Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks boarded their private plane to take them to San Antonio sporting a 32-5 record, the best in the NBA this season. Their .865 win percentage had them on pace to win 71 games, putting them on par with the 1996-96 Chicago Bulls (72-10) and the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors (73-9). The Bucks’ […]
Continue readingTen NBA things I like and don’t like, including the Lakers without LeBron
It’s really the only blemish on an otherwise dominant season: The Lakers average 100.5 points per 100 possessions with LeBron James on the bench — three points worse than the league’s clankiest offense. It’s all shooting: The Lakers with LeBron sitting don’t get nearly as many profitable shots — corner 3s and attempts in the […]
Continue readingLakers’ LeBron James takes over as fans’ top choice in All-Star voting
After Mavericks guard Luka Doncic led all players in the first round of voting announced last week, James stormed past Doncic and reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo into the top spot with 3,359,871 total votes. Doncic (3,277,870), Antetokounmpo (3,259,383) and James’ Lakers teammate Anthony Davis (3,124,446) are the only players with more than 3 million […]
Continue readingFour things that are different about this Bucks juggernaut
Still, after last season’s disappointing collapse in the Eastern Conference finals, many remain skeptical. Remember, the Bucks dominated the 2018-19 regular season too. So, what’s different about this team as it gets ready to face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday (10 p.m. ET on ESPN)? What makes it a more serious threat to come […]
Continue readingTrae Young’s bag of tricks holds more than 30-footers
The Hawks call this area their “flex space,” and today, it’s serving as Young’s personal film room. He peers down at the screen beside him to watch a highlight he has seen countless times. “Oh yep,” he says with a coy grin. “This play.” Young is about to school LaMarcus Aldridge. In the video, Young […]
Continue readingFrom Charles Barkley to Joel Embiid: The fight to modernize the NBA big man
Embiid also confesses that what he craves nearly as much as knocking down those treys is to lure players into believing he is about to release the 3. He does this with a most curious pump fake: hoisting the ball well above his head, then unfolding ever so slowly, like a rusty crane squeaking in […]

The 2020 NBA All-Star Game will tip off on Feb. 16 at the United Center in Chicago. This will be the third year in which captains will participate in a fantasy draft and select their own teams, compared to the traditional East vs. West format. Stay up to date on all the latest All-Star intel […]

Doncic, the second-year guard from the Dallas Mavericks, leads all players with 1,073,957 votes — 599 more than Antetokounmpo, the top vote-getter in the Eastern Conference. LeBron James is the only other player with more than one million votes through the initial round. Fan voting accounts for 50% of the vote for the five starters […]
