by

There is really no such thing as bad news in Charlotte — not after what happened last season. But they still need their highest-paid players to perform, and that won’t be happening for the next two months after the team announced Monday that forward Tyrus Thomas is expected to miss approximately two months after an MRI revealed a second-degree strain of his left calf muscle and a tear of the plantaris muscle, a smaller muscle that assists the calf in plantar flexing the ankle.

LeBron James wins Player of the Week, again

by

LeBron James won his second straight NBA Player of the Week award Monday. Kenneth Faried didn’t. Last week’s winners were James, the superstar of the Miami Heat, and Faried, the emerging young forward of the Denver Nuggets. This week it is James – for the record 39th time in his career – and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder. James is practically making a mockery of the award. The Eastern Conference winner led the Heat to a 3-1 record while averaging

by

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — What a weekend we had in New England at the National Prep Showcase, a top-of-the-line prep school tournament that primarily features some of the New England region’s premier basketball talent. This year was no different as the field at Albertus Magnus College was loaded with an array of talented players. There were an average of 2.5 committed D-I players per team — and we are going to spotlight three of them heading to Indiana, Memphis and Syracuse. [Read

Lakers Step up the Pace; Kobe and Durant gets Triple-Doubles

by

A 40-point opening quarter, all five starters in double figures and improved bench scoring led to 119 points for the Lakers, whose new coach Mike D’Antoni has already had an impact without even sitting on the bench. When Steve Nash (leg) replaces Darius Morris at PG, Kobe Bryant will start to get more open looks. Last night, Mamba was a facilitator, dropping 11 dimes as part of his triple-double (22 PTS, 11 REB) and Dwight Howard (28 PTS, 13 REB,

Fan Duel Diary: Clean Slate in Week 4

by

Three weeks of playing in daily leagues has taught me one thing — it’s definitely not as easy as it looks. I’ve tried various sizes of leagues: 3-player, 5-player, right up to large tournaments. A $10 shot in the dark each Friday in the $5,000 qualifying tournament for the $150,000 DFBBC Final eats up ten percent of the budget; I tend to play in $1 and $2 contests with a few forays into the $5 level.
