If anything is going to make Warriors fans feel better about the egg their team laid in Denver on Sunday, it's the Andrew Wiggins news. He's coming back!  The Warriors are in a precarious playoff predicament at the moment, but even if they end up in the play-in, this is a better outcome than a top-six seed without Wiggins. Assuming Wiggins gets back up to speed in relatively short order, Golden State would become a legitimate threat to win the Western Conference and perhaps even claim what would be a fifth NBA title in nine years.  That is not an exaggeration in terms of Wiggins' impact on this team. His ability to defend elite wings with size is first and foremost. His rebounding will be a huge help to a team that has to scrap for everything it's worth to finish the stops they do muster with a board. His one-on-one creation and dependable shooting.  Wiggins was the second-best player on a champi...

Joel Embiid couldn't quite get the Philadelphia 76ers over the finish line on Friday against the Golden State Warriors, but he did everything in his power to secure an unlikely victory. With James Harden sidelined due to an injury, Embiid scored 46 points on 13-of-23 shooting from the field and 19-of-22 shooting from the line. The 76ers came into the fourth quarter with the lead, but ultimately couldn't hold on as the Warriors won, 120-112. But that didn't stop the Warriors from praising their opponent, or that opponent from taking credit for a stellar performance. Former Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green was particularly impressed with the message that Embiid sent him after the Game . "He told me, he said, 'You know why I played like that tonight? You said Joker (Nikola Jokic) was the hardest person to guard in the league . So I took that personal'", Green joked to report...

Just 15 Game s into his tenure with the Detroit Pistons, there's already one thing we know for certain about James Wiseman: He is not a bust. The "B" word was thrown around all too often during the first two and a half seasons of the 7-foot center's career, as he struggled to carve out a role and stay on the floor for the Golden State Warriors after being selected No. 2 overall in 2020. After much consternation, the Warriors made the difficult decision to part ways with the soon-to-be 22-year-old prospect, sending him to Detroit in a multi-player trade before February's deadline that ultimately yielded them a familiar win-now piece in Gary Payton II. Having played three games in college before logging just 60 in the pros, Wiseman simply could not thrive in the defending champions' ecosystem that lacked the necessary tolerance for mistakes a player of his experience level required. "I...

On Nov. 11, the 2-10 Los Angeles Lakers had the worst record in the NBA. Less than a month later, on Dec. 7, the New Orleans Pelicans took over the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Both teams would move around the standings a fair bit even early on, but generally speaking, there was a sentiment for the first two months of the season that the Lakers were going to be among the NBA's worst teams when the season ended and that the Pelicans were going to be among its best. This was a critical development early on because New Orleans, thanks to the Anthony Davis trade, has the right to swap first-round picks with the Lakers in the upcoming 2023 NBA Draft. That draft happens to include Victor Wembanyama, arguably the best prospect to come to the NBA since LeBron James. Once the Lakers won the championship in 2020, it became impossible for them to lose the Davis trade, but had they handed the Pelicans Wembanyama...

Stat-padding has been a major topic in the MVP race over the last few weeks, and while all players do it to some extent, no one has been as blatant about it as Giannis Antetokounmpo was during the Milwaukee Bucks' 117-111 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.  When Corey Kispert missed a 3-pointer with 10 seconds remaining, the Wizards were ready to concede. All that was left was for the Bucks to dribble out the clock, but Antetokounmpo had other ideas. The two-time MVP had grabbed Kispert's errant shot for his ninth rebound of the Game , and was just one board shy of a triple-double . So he hustled down to the other end of the floor, and with one second remaining intentionally missed a layup so he could get the offensive rebound for his 10th of the Game .  Now that's one way to get a triple-double! 😂#FearTheDeer 117#DCAboveAll 111 pic.twitter.com/YRWWT32viZ — Bally Sports Wis...
