With a take this inflammatory, we must all operate with the same basic assumptions. Here are mine: The Boston Celtics probably do not want to trade Jaylen Brown. He is eligible for a two-year, $141.9 million extension in July, and I expect they will offer it to him. I have no idea if Brown wants to sign said extension, and …

It’s only May, but the ghost of that 9-seed loss to Utah State in 2026 is still lingering. For head coach Kevin Willard, the 2025-26 season was a resounding success — it proved the Villanova Wildcats could get back to the Big Dance — but the early exit left a what-if taste in everyone’s mouth. Now, as the dust settles …

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown and president of basketball operations Brad Stevens are both denying any rift between the two. In fact, Brown says that if it were up to him, he’d be happy playing in Boston “for the next 10 years.” Advertisement The status of the team’s relationship with its leading scorer this season was called into question after …

It hasn’t been too memorable of an offseason for the UCLA Bruins, but even without any marquee additions to Mick Cronin’s roster, UCLA still ranked No. 22 in the Rothstein 45, which was released on Wednesday. The Rothstein 45 is an annual ranking by college basketball insider Jon Rothstein. UCLA is coming off of a Round of 32 loss in …

Devin Vassell isn’t the first name you think about when it comes to NBA sharpshooters, nor is he the guy you’d expect to hit circus shot in the playoffs — but here we are. Everything has been going right for the Spurs this season with the Victor Wembanyama-led team quickly becoming a force in the Western Conference. It’s not just …

Jarvis Hayes doesn’t recall the last time he felt tempted to play pickup basketball. Going 1-on-1 against his teenage sons is the most that the 2003 NBA lottery pick can withstand. Anything more physically demanding requires too many jarring collisions for Hayes’ battle-weary body, too much explosive movement for his surgically repaired right knee.

On April 27, the NBA announced its list of early entrants for June’s 2026 draft. Only that list was much smaller than in years past. The total number announced in April sat at 71 players. That’s 33% lower than the 106 who filed last year — and nearly 80% lower than the all-time high of 353, set just five years ago in 2021. ⁠ The figure is so low that you have …

The uncertainty surrounding two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee should be resolved within the next month. At an introductory news conference Wednesday for new head coach Taylor Jenkins, Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam addressed the issue hanging over the franchise’s head this offseason: Trade the 10-time All-Star or try to re-sign him to a new deal?

Once again, the Wisconsin Badgers failed to bring in a priority in-state recruit. This time around, Greg Gard let Donovan Davis, a 6-foot-7 power forward, commit to Iowa State. According to Rivals’ Joe Tipton, the Kaukauna native is one of the highest-rated players to commit to the Cyclones in the modern recruiting era. Advertisement Davis had the Badgers in his …

The Thunder take the court tonight in Oklahoma City up just one game against the Lakers but seemingly in complete control. OKC dominated LA in the opener, winning 108–90. The Oklahoma City Thunder look every bit the part of defending champions having dictated every aspect of the opener including the pace and the physicality, and defensive tone. Even with Shai …

It is admittedly easy to get a little bored watching Cameron Boozer. Scouting young basketball players usually offers a sense of discovery, but Boozer has been displaying the same steady dominance since he was 14 years old. There are no frills to his game, just sound decision-making with a well-rounded skill set and a physical style of play. As a …

Donovan Mitchell wasn’t happy with his lack of trips to the line after having just two free-throw attempts in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 1 loss to the Detroit Pistons. “I’m just not getting the calls,” Mitchell said afterward. “I don’t know why. I don’t flop, maybe that’s why. … It’s frustrating a little bit because I’m such a dynamic driver.” …

The whole concept of Blue Bloods is annoying. Some teams have been very successful over the decades, obviously, including Duke. But the term seems kind of dumb. That said, people use it, so who would be a Blue Blood? Most of these teams would probably make your list, but some you’d surely drop. Advertisement Indiana has been mostly irrelevant since …

Perhaps Jeremy Sochan was just trying to recommend to the 76ers where to get the best “Big Apple Cheesesteak” when he approached a group of Philadelphia players, including VJ Edgecombe, after the Knicks beat the Sixers 108-102 in Game 2 on Wednesday night. Whatever the case may be, the Sixers did not seem to take to it kindly, and it …

Dan Issel is one of the legends of Kentucky Basketball. Issel is Kentucky’s all-time leading scorer and one of the best to wear the blue and white, so it was interesting to see Issel join Lou Williams, Michelle Beadle and Chandler Parsons on Run It Back to talk about Kentucky.

Few players can be so infuriating. Few players can be so dominant. Karl-Anthony Towns’ brilliance eventually overpowered his long-standing demons in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, as the 7-footer overcame his latest bout of foul trouble and picked apart the Joel Embiid-less 76ers front line, finishing with 20 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 27 …

Every so often, pro sports seems like something straight out of junior high. Last week, there was the beef between former Duke star Wendell Carter and Detroit Pistons Jalen Duren. Carter is dating Angel Reese, who used to go out with Duren. This week, we have the entertaining Austin Rivers-Draymond Green beef. Advertisement Those guys were in the same high …
