Every time we think we've seen the new low of the Luka Doncic-Kyrie Irving era for the Dallas Mavericks, it gets worse. A blown 27-point lead to the Lakers? A free basket to the Warriors when they incorrectly believed that they should have had the ball? Nothing compared to Friday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the fourth-worst team in the NBA on the second night of a back-to-back in a must-win Game . Things got so bad for the Mavericks that they were booed by their own fans. Coach Jason Kidd couldn't argue. "We probably should have been booed in the first quarter," Kidd said after the Game . Irving took a different approach. "I've been in New York City, so I know what that's like," Irving said. "You obviously want to play well, but it's only five people on the court that can play for the Dallas Mavericks. If the fans wanna change places , then hey, be my guest...

LaMelo Ball is expected to miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his right ankle , per The Athletic's Shams Charania. Ball sustained the injury in the Hornets win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday, the Charlotte Hornets announced. The play came in the third quarter, with the Hornets leading by double digits. Ball was handling the basketball and attempted a behind-the-back dribble. He fell to the ground afterward in significant pain. He left the Game and did not return.

Ball leads the Hornets in points (23.4) and assists (8.5) per game this season, and h...

G League call-up Mac McClung may have "saved" the NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday, but it now appears the NBA All-Star Game itself is in need of saving. Team Giannis defeated Team LeBron, 184-175, on Sunday in Salt Lake City in a game that more closely resembled a layup line or shooting practice than a competitive basketball game between the world's best athletes. The Elam Ending provided a bit of drama in the fourth quarter as Team LeBron attempted to erase a 19-point deficit, but the rest of the game lacked any sort of competitiveness or edge on the defensive end of the court.  Celtics star Jayson Tatum won MVP honors after setting an All-Star Game record with 55 points, many of which came with little to no resistance. soarin' and slammin' pic.twitter.com/X2zBP4HWHw — Boston Celtics (@celtics) February 20, 2023 Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone, who helmed...

In a way, it is fitting that the two players that the Brooklyn Nets received in Sunday's blockbuster Kyrie Irving trade are a 3-and-D guy who went undrafted and a playmaker who was selected in the second round. The latter, Spencer Dinwiddie, is one of the Nets' success stories from before they were a superteam -- they called him up from the G League in 2016, and he helped recruit Irving in 2019. Last May, a couple of weeks after Brooklyn was swept by the Boston Celtics, team president Sean Marks said the team had to go back to "doing some of the things that got us here in the first place." If the Nets make no more moves before Thursday's trade deadline, then they have willingly sacrificed star power and scoring for lineup flexibility and a sense of stability. Dorian Finney-Smith is an ideal supporting character for a Kevin Durant-led team. Dinwiddie is not the pantheon-level one-on-one scor...

The Los Angeles Lakers have already made one move ahead of the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline, when they sent three second-round picks and Kendrick Nunn to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Rui Hachimura. However, that deal certainly doesn't do anything to vault them into the championship conversation. But it does signal that general manager Rob Pelinka and the rest of the Lakers front office intends on being active at the deadline, ideally in hopes of building a roster that can get LeBron James back to the postseason. There are just six days until the deadline for the Lakers to make any additional deals, and between now and then there will surely be a slew of rumors to keep us guessing about their plans. But until something is solidified, here are the latest trade rumors surrounding the Lakers. Jazz interested in Russell Westbrook Utah has seemingly been attached to every player on the trade market this ...

It was a relatively close first quarter , but ultimately, Jayson Tatum came out on top with an 18-16 lead over his Brooklyn Nets opponent -- as in all five of them who were on the floor Wednesday night. It was a shame for Brooklyn, then, that Tatum has teammates. Factor in the rest of Tatum's Celtics roster, and Brooklyn was utterly eviscerated. After 12 minutes of play, the Celtics led the Nets 46-16. It was the biggest first- quarter lead in Celtics History , and the second-worst quarter ever played by the Nets, and you'll be stunned to hear that things didn't get much better from there. The final was a humiliating 139-96. Despite their enormous lead, the Celtics managed to win each of the four quarter s. No Net scored more than Kyrie Irving's 20 points. Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 57 in 61 minutes on the court. Their combined performance made for a bit more History . Both of Boston...

The Robert Sarver era is almost over, but the Phoenix Suns have not completely moved on yet. Even though the NBA suspended him in September and he is selling the team to Mat Ishbia , Sarver still might have to approve a potential Jae Crowder trade , according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.  ESPN's Baxter Holmes previously reported that, during Sarver's suspension, the Suns and the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury would require his written approval to hire or fire a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief revenue officer. This was among a series of provisions in a letter that the NBA sent to the Suns. In an interview with the Arizona Republic 's Duane Rankin in September, minority owner Sam Garvin, who has been serving as the interim team governor, said that he has to communicate with Sarver about "super extraordinary items."  "If we wanted to do a massive trade that would b...
