Michael Porter Jr: Pat Beverly said that a WNBA team could beat the bench players of an NBA team. Lonzo Ball: I’m going to give you the most honest answer, and I know Michael feels the same way. I don't know if he said this or not, but I'm going to say I'm going to speak my piece. And I mean this as respectfully as possible, but ninth grade Lonzo Ball in the WNBA is going crazy. So, I would say after ninth grade, no. But before that… Cuz look, in ninth grade, I'm over six feet and I'm dunking. Like, I'm coming through like… No girl in the WNBA is doing that. I'm going back door, throw it up. I'm looking like Michael Jordan out there! YouTube | Nov. 19, 2025Q. What do we feel about the current CBA negotiations going on with the WNBA? What is everybody's thoughts here on that? Lonzo Ball: Lo...

We're not even a month into the season at the time of this writing, and stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Zion Williamson, and Paolo Banchero are currently sitting out or have already sat out meaningful time with tricky lower-body injuries. That's not to even mention all the smaller-name players listed on almost every team's injury report right now. The list truly feels like it's never-ending.What's behind this apparent uptick in NBA injuries, especially of a soft-tissue variety?Well, contrary to every oldhead who thinks modern NBA players are soft, there has likely never been more of a physical demand on...

Evan Mobley closed his eyes. He began to breathe deeply. In, out. In, out.He had arranged this meditation session for his family while on vacation in Papagayo, Costa Rica, in July. An instructor led the group through visualization exercises and a sound bath, using singing bowls, bells and gongs.As Mobley settled onto his mat, the noises began to fade: the falling rain, the crash of waves, the squeals of monkeys. Even pestering mosquitoes couldn’t break Mobley’s focus.Nothing really can when he’s in this mode, when he’s meditating. It’s something he does before every Cavaliers game, and whenever he feels the need to be grounded. To feel like … himself. The real Evan. Not who people expect him to be. “It just gets you to focus more,” Mobley says of the practice. “See what you need to see, th...

Portland has been one of the fun on-the-court stories of the early season. This is a promising team that plays hard and is entertaining to watch, behind Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe, with good young players such as Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan (not to mention the potential of Yang Hansen), and veterans Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant. Portland has been a pleasant surprise this season.They have done all this without Scoot Henderson.The former No. 3 pick and potential franchise anchor has been out since late September with a torn left hamstring. When the injury occurred prior to the start of training camp, the Trail Blazers put a 4-8 week timeline on his return, but we now just hit the eight-week mark, and Henderson is not close to returning. Here is what he told Jason Quick of The Ath...

Kevin Durant's integration onto the Houston Rockets has been more seamless than one could've imagined. Granted, Durant's style of play makes it fairly easy for him to ingratiate himself essentially onto any team.Especially offensively.The 37-year-old is averaging 25.9 points on just 17.2 shots, which represents his sixth season averaging 25 points on 17 shots. The man is a scoring specialist. Easily one of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen. Durant's rebounding and facilitating has dropped off a hair, at least thus far, to the tune of 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists.To add color to that, Durant hasn't averaged that few rebounds since his rookie season, which was 18 years ago. He hasn't averaged this few assists since 2010-11, which was his fourth season. But he's been as clutch as ev...

Life in the NBA sure ain’t easy. If you’re fortunate enough to even put on a practice jersey, you’ve already hit the athletic lottery. But then when it comes to making a roster spot, earning a multi-year contract, contributing off the bench or earning starter’s minutes, you’re competing with the elite of the elite, fighting to fulfill your hoop dream in an overcrowded ecosystem full of freak athletes with automatic jumpers who still won’t make it. Former UConn players have found out just how tough it is to make a name for yourself in the world’s best league, and while a few of them are excelling, some are facing uncertain times ahead. It doesn’t take much– a loss of confidence, a minor flaw in your game, a not-fully-fit ankle to throw you off, and sometimes out of the rotation. This is a b...
