Perhaps taking a queue from the NFL and their issues with players dealing with head injuries, but the NBA has announced they have put in place a concussion policy that will determine when players return from head injuries. If a player is diagnosed with a concussion, he will have to complete a series of steps […]

The NBA is in something of an identity crisis coming out of the lockout. The contentious and bitter bargaining sessions that led to this new NBA were supposed to solve a lot of problems within the owners themselves. The details of revenue sharing are still to be sorted out. And there are numerous provisions that […]

The Los Angeles Clippers wanted to trade for Chris Paul.  That didn’t happen.  Chauncey Billups was all gassed up to play with Carmelo Anthony and Amare’ Stoudemire this season.  That didn’t happen either.  As a result, those two worlds have officially crashed into each other.  Hopefully both sides can find some solace in the situation.

Maybe Dwight Howard is being completely and unequivocally honest in his latest comments regarding his relationship with Orlando Magic GM Otis Smith over the last few years.

 Dwight Howard and Chris Paul are taking the headlines of the early NBA offseason/training camp period. Free agency has been placed sort of on hold as the league waits for those two gigantic dominoes to fall. There’s no doubt though, the NBA is back to business as usual. And nothing seems to have changed after […]

So this really can’t be good. Portland Trail Blazers’ Greg Oden has reportedly suffered a set back from knee surgery recovery. The set back is unknown but whatever it is, it was discovered during a physical. “Following Greg’s most recent physical examination and evaluation, we’ve determined that he has suffered a setback,” team president Larry […]
