A top media executive thinks Adam Silver should run for president. An NBA team executive always assumed he’d succeed Roger Goodell at the NFL. But another team exec — and a chorus behind him — doesn’t think Silver’s going anywhere for 10, 15 years.“Adam’s a beast, man, Adam’s a beast,” said the executive. “Look, we’ve never even had the conversation about him leaving.”Silver has a sizable to-do list that likely precludes his exit anytime soon. There’s NBA Europe to launch, his purported legacy project. There is a failing local TV template that he intends to solve with a national streaming RSN. There are multiple cities begging for expansion. There’s an NBA betting scandal to navigate, along with the Steve Ballmer-Kawhi Leonard salary cap investigation. At age 63, it’s a workload Silver can...

NEW ORLEANS — “I know how this movie ends — still I play.”This is one of Jay-Z’s most famous lines from his song “Allure,” which captures the temptation he’s felt in the past to relive some of the poor decisions he made in his younger years.For New Orleans Pelicans fans, it certainly felt like they knew how a certain movie would end months ago. But unlike Jay-Z, there isn’t a lot of nostalgia for the good ol’ days going around New Orleans lately.On Saturday, Pelicans lead executive Joe Dumars announced his decision to fire head coach Willie Green after four-plus seasons, primarily due to the team’s lifeless performance during a 2-10 start that has left fans more angry than disappointed.Maybe folks didn’t expect Green to be gone before Thanksgiving, but so much of what’s gone wrong with the...

INDIANAPOLIS — It was the equivalent of your eyes being bigger than your stomach, but with clothes. Does that come with a fun quip?Really, it’s just overpacking. Collin Murray-Boyles has a valid excuse for his sartorial excess, though.“I got fits. Some I didn’t pull out,” said Murray-Boyles, the Toronto Raptors’ rookie forward, after the first long road trip of his career. The Raptors finished a five-game trip that spanned 10 nights away from Toronto with a win in Indiana against the Pacers on Saturday. He estimates that 30 percent of the clothes he packed went unworn.“I was just too tired,” he said. “Right now, I just don’t feel like it because I’m sick. I didn’t have the energy to do it.”Murray-Boyles got a nasty cold at the end of the trip, altering an experience he never truly had befo...

Odobert’s debut season at Tottenham was turbulent but promising. After joining from Burnley in August 2024, a severe hamstring injury sidelined him for months, restricting him to 21 appearances. Still, he produced standout moments, most notably his Europa League brace against AZ, a decisive performance that helped Spurs overturn a deficit and eventually win the trophy in Bilbao.This season marks a turning point. Injury-free and gaining rhythm, he has accumulated 679 minutes, scoring and assisting in recent matches. Coach Frank has stabilised Spurs' left wing by placing trust in Odobert, praising him for “stepping up” and delivering in key moments.Odobert has embraced the tactical shifts under Frank, calling the system “top-notch” and highlighting the importance of patience and hard work.

Golden State forward Draymond Green went nearly chest-to-chest with a fan during the Warriors’ 124-106 road victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night.“He just kept calling me a woman. It was a good joke at first but you can’t keep calling me a woman,” Green said, clarifying later that the fan was calling him “a woman’s name.”“I got four kids and one on the way,” Green added. “Just don’t be disrespectful.”The fan, who identified himself as Sam Green, 35, of New Orleans, was wearing a black polo with a Pelicans logo on it. He was standing and cheering after Draymond Green had been called for a shooting foul while guarding Pelicans forward Herb Jones.While players began taking their positions along the key for Jones’ foul shots, Draymond Green strode over to the grinning fan and s...

Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers appear to have learned a valuable lesson in their most recent game.The Sixers will aim for a tougher, more complete effort Monday when they host the Los Angeles Clippers.Philadelphia was hoping to notch its third win in four games Friday against the Detroit Pistons, but the team dropped a 114-105 decision.The game was full of disappointments, as Maxey and VJ Edgecombe struggled with their shooting, Kelly Oubre Jr. left after three minutes with a knee hyperextension and, most importantly, the Sixers lost despite the Pistons resting Cade Cunningham and many of their other top players.Following the game, there was plenty of talk about the Sixers' mental and physical toughness."We have to play through it," Edgecombe said.
