Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff had about as good an offseason as the coaching staff could’ve hoped for.

The moves were not surprising at all. San Antonio reached …

It didn’t take Memphis long to shut down the Ja Morant era: on Monday, they essentially gave him away, trading him to Portland for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray.

One NBA draft cycle ends, and another immediately begins. There wasn’t much Wisconsin flavor in the 2026 proceedings, with the University of Wisconsin’s Nick Boyd, Marquette’s Chase Ross and former Menomonee Falls High School standout Seth Trimble all going undrafted but signing deals that get a foot in the door of the NBA. Advertisement The lack of Wisconsin ties should …

The Cleveland Cavaliers have built one of the most expensive teams in the league, and one somehow devoid of depth at the most premium position.
