A little over a month before the start of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the LA Clippers are rather locked in the 4th seed in the Western Conference standings. Barring a complete collapse from them or another top 3 team, it looks like the Clippers are going to enter the playoffs in this spot.

Entries such as Utah Jazz Or Wizards of Washington This seemed like a no-brainer at the start of the year given their rebuilding efforts, but the Memphis Grizzlies are something of a wild card among this rather exclusive fraternity. Granted, these Grizzly bears are not what we are used to seeing. With injuries returning during the second, third and fourth in Memphis this year, this is a shell of the hustle-busting, fast-paced, defensive-minded Western Conference threat we know from years…
MIAMI – With the Detroit Pistons at Kaseya Center To face the Miami Heat on Tuesday night, NBA life truly came full circle for Wayne Ellington and Delon Wright.

THE Knicks got a deserved day off Monday after their win over Cleveland on Sunday, even though they were missing (virtually) four starters in that game.

However, as always, we did our best and still found a few hidden gems to share with Knicks fans everywhere. Here they are! Tom Thibodeau In rotation, players mobilize to compensate for injured and missing starters… “I…

George will not return for Monday’s game against Washington due to illness, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune reports. He finished with zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and one assist in six minutes.George was cleared to play after being listed as questionable before Monday, but he exited in the first quarter and the Jazz quickly decided to shut him up for the rest of the night. Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker will likely cover most of the minutes at point guard for the remainder of Monday’s contest. No more news
