The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
The New Orleans Pelicans touted the improved fitness of Zion Williamson during the preseason. Two games into the regular season, their star forward is already out with an injury.
The Philadelphia 76ers started this season without Paul George and with Joel Embiid limited by a sore knee. Thanks to their pair of young guards, they're 3-0.
There's something about playing the Memphis Grizzlies that brings out the worst in Draymond Green. But nothing makes Green more inclined to flagrant fouls than when he gets embarrassed on the court.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took a gamble by trading for oft-injured guard Lonzo Ball in the offseason. The move, assuming Ball can capture some of his old magic, would give the Cavaliers another ball-dominant facilitator with good court vision and strong defensive skill sets.
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has been named the Western Conference Player of the Week, while Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has won the award in the East, the NBA announced Monday.
The Los Angeles Lakers didn't have Luka Doncic or LeBron James but still got a 51-point game from one of their players — thanks to the Sacramento Kings defense.
Deandre Ayton was widely criticized for his underwhelming performances in the first two games of the new Los Angeles Lakers season. All that changed Sunday.
After an up and down first two games, Dallas Mavericks rookie sensation Cooper Flagg enjoyed his best overall performance yet on Sunday. Flagg's best outing led to the rookie experiencing his first taste of an NBA win.
For the first time since November of 2023, the Charlotte Hornets have knocked off the Washington Wizards. The Hornets used an 88-point second half to come away with a 139-113 win, and the star of the night was LaMelo Ball.
