Ramp to Camp: What version of Derrick White will Celtics get this season? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston Let’s state the obvious: Derrick White had a miserable shooting season last year. In fact, pick the meanest adjective you can think of, replace our word miserable, and it probably fairly describes White’s season-long shooting woes. Advertisement But lost in those …

Jonathan Kuminga turned down more guaranteed money from the Lakers — nearly twice as much per year — and elsewhere to come to Minnesota on a two-year, $13 million contract that could have him back on the free agent market next summer. Kuminga is betting on himself. Again. It’s not the decision every free agent would make, but Kuminga sounded …

Among the most infamous teams in modern NBA history is the 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers. A star-studded group headlined by Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, all of whom finished top nine in MVP voting the season prior, went just 45-37 and earned the West’s No. 7 seed before being swept in the first round by the San Antonio …

The NBA has a checkered history with alternate uniforms, to put it lightly. While throwbacks and retro-inspired designs often strike the right chord between nostalgia and innovation, many of the recent designs aimed at pushing on-court fashion forward feel like a miss. It feels like an absolute shame that the greatest moment of LeBron James’ career happened in sleeved jerseys …

The Los Angeles Clippers are nobody’s favourite team these days, even Clippers fans. Amidst the fallout from the Aspiration Scandal’s conclusion, the Clips have been stripped of their picks, their leadership, and are potentially about to relinquish their best player to the Raptors.

The timing of the Lakers announcing they’re going to unveil a statue of legendary coach Phil Jackson made a lot of sense.  The franchise was less than seven months removed from immortalizing Pat Riley, one of the last key figures of the Lakers’ “Showtime” era who hadn’t been honored with a statue up until that point (James Worthy is also …

When Nick Nurse took over as the Sixers’ head coach ahead of the 2023-24 season, players were buzzing with excitement about his energy and creativity. But with Joel Embiid and Paul George cycling in and out of the lineup over the past two seasons, Nurse hasn’t gotten many chances to show off that side of himself. His experimentation with lineups …

A lot of teams made big swings this offseason to try and put themselves in position to get closer to a title. While it’s easy to think about the major part of a transaction, it’s key to remember just how much it can impact an entire roster. How many more options do we have now? Are we stronger on both …

The playoffs, the draft, free agency. These are the pinnacles of NBA—and by extension Milwaukee Bucks—fandom. Well, Ranking the Roster isn’t too far behind, especially around here! An annual tradition, Ranking the Roster has been a staple of Brew Hoop since 2014. Back then, a little-known sophomore won the crown in a vote that showed the community’s collective prescience. In …

Now that the Dallas Mavericks’ roster is 99% set with a little more than a month before the start of the 2026-27 season, one thing that has been on my mind is who is going to be in the rotation on day one. While there are some familiar faces, a third of the roster is brand new. Returning Players: Kyrie …

Multiple times this summer, I’ve heard it claimed by fans, pundits, and current/former coaches, players, and front office types that the Wizards are deep. My instinctual reaction is skepticism. I delved into statistical analysis in part because so much of what I heard from the “experts” on TV when I was a kid didn’t seem accurate. I’d watch Player X …

Per a Spurs press release: “Spurs fans are invited to the free 2026-27 Silver & Black Open Scrimmage, presented by Ticketmaster, at Frost Bank Center on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. The San Antonio Spurs will take the court for four 10-minute quarters, giving fans the chance to preview the team in action ahead of their Oct. 20 home …

It has been a strange summer for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After waiting, and waiting, and then losing out on the LeBron James sweepstakes, the Cavs had to pivot. They already watched Keon Ellis and Dean Wade depart before James’ decision, and then had to offload Dennis Schroder and Max Strus to get a smidge of wiggle room to improve the …

One rule I’ve developed in years of writing about financial scandals is that, as bad as a scheme appears at first, it’s more likely than not that the facts will turn out to be nastier than they appeared at first. Case in point: The scandal swirling around the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Assn. and their billionaire owner, …

Josh Hart doesn’t see a “target” on the Knicks’ back as they prepare to defend their NBA championship. In fact, the veteran guard sees the exact opposite when asked during an appearance on ESPN’s U.S. Open broadcast on Wednesday night if the rest of the NBA would be gunning for the Knicks.

Just when you thought the Lakers’ jerseys couldn’t get worse, Nike unveiled maybe the worst version of them yet. The team’s jerseys have been trending in the wrong direction for some time now, whether because of the design or the shift toward highlighter yellow instead of gold. But Nike hit a new low on Wednesday. Advertisement At an event on …
