Ben Simmons to be on Brooklyn Nets bench against 76ers in Philadelphia; playing debut in flux

While it remains to be seen when new Brooklyn Nets swingman Ben Simmons will be able to make his season debut as he continues to deal with a back injury, Nets coach Steve Nash stated Simmons will join up with his new team in Philadelphia on Wednesday and will sit on the bench with the team Thursday. Simmons, who was acquired from the 76ers last month along with Andre Drummond, Seth Curry and two future first-round picks in exchange for All-Star guard James Harden and Paul Millsap, is expected to be roundly booed Thursday after requesting a trade from the Sixers after last season, citing mental health concerns. Nash was quick with […]

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis will make his season debut Wednesday versus the Charlotte Hornets, coach Rick Carlisle told reporters. Porzingis will start and be on undisclosed minutes restriction as he returns from October surgery to address a lateral meniscus injury in his left knee.

The coach stated he will communicate with Porzingis throughout the game and check on how he is holding up. “The big thing is to get him back out on the floor,” Carlisle […]

Charlotte Hornets’ Gordon Hayward fractures finger

Hayward has had a string of bad luck with injuries, though this one thankfully doesn’t appear to be too serious Over the first seven seasons of his career, Gordon Hayward was something of an iron man, missing just 42 regular-season matches during that span. Since then, however, starting with his horrific leg injury on opening night in 2017, he’s seemingly been cursed by the injury gods. He missed all of that first season with the Celtics, worked his way back through a dismal 2019-20 campaign, during which he struggled to find his old form. And then, as soon as he did early last […]

Charlotte Hornets at Atlanta Hawks

It has been a wild week for the Atlanta Hawks, and the team returns home on Friday in a shorthanded state. Thabo Sefolosha, who was involved in a bizarre incident in New York that netted both himself and Pero Antic in jail, is out for the season following an ankle injury sustained during the course of his wild stay in the Big Apple, and that is just the beginning of the uncertainty surrounding the roster for Friday night. The Atlanta Hawks may have only had one night off, but it will be a welcome relief for the team to return to basketball, and get […]
