Derrick Rose hopes to return after the All-Star Game | NBA

When he had surgery on his right ankle on December 22, Derrick Rose knew he would be out for at least eight weeks. More than five weeks after being on the pool table, the Knicks point guard is on schedule. Nevertheless, he should not return before the announced two months. “Shortly after the All-Star Game”, he says to the New York Post, as the Knicks resume Feb. 25 at Madison Square Garden against the Heat. The 2011 MVP also explained how much this operation, which removed a bone growth, was a release for him. He was indeed embarrassed for many weeks by his joint since he dated his first pain from a match in Chicago on November 21, a month before having surgery. “I felt relieved after the operation, really,” he says. “I tried to ignore the pain, but when I was on the court, I th...

10 out of 10 for stunning Suns against Spurs | NBA

While waiting for the return to business of Deandre Ayton, but also of Jae Crowder, the Suns did the job without shaking last night against San Antonio (115-110). Chris Paul (20 points, 19 assists, 8 rebounds) and Devin Booker (28 points) have been faithful to the position, as has Mikal Bridges (26 points) who achieved his best mark of the season. Trailing for most of the game, Phoenix managed to regain the upper hand in the last quarter, thanks to the contribution of Cam Johnson and two consecutive shots "clutches" from Devin Booker. Despite the heroic resistance of the Spurs, Phoenix therefore pocketed a 40th victory this season, the 10th in a row, which ensured Monty Williams and his staff to represent the Western Conference at the next All Star Game in Cleveland on February ...

Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in demonstration in Milwaukee: + 36! | NBA

Halfway through the first quarter, the ten starters have all scored and Denver has a very narrow lead (14-12). The rest of the quarter is just as pleasant and balanced, and we remember several things: the Bucks dominate under the panels (18 points in the racket), which is logical when we have Giannis Antetokounmpo in his ranks, the Nuggets are already skillful from afar (6/14), and especially Nikola Jokic is already monumental after 12 minutes (6 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals!). At the start of the second quarter, the Nuggets lead by 3 small points and stabilize this lead for several minutes thanks to the contribution of their bench, Bones Hyland, Bryn Forbes and JaMychal Green in the lead. After 6 minutes in this second act, Giannis is already at 14 points and comp...

As they have just learned that LeBron James must take a rest period to treat his sore left knee, the Lakers have suffered another frustrating loss during their "road trip" to the East, which is finally coming to an end. And this time, it was the Hawks who managed to dominate the "Purple & Gold", thanks to a superb fourth quarter, won with a score of 38-20. In the wake, also, of an excellent Trae Young (36 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists), well supported by his interiors, Onyeka Okongwu in the lead.

Empowered, Tyrese Haliburton confirms his rise to power | NBA

Despite a 17-point lead in the third quarter, the Kings failed to win on the 76ers floor. Caught up in the 3rd quarter, the Californians were in trouble halfway through the last quarter (-10), before Tyrese Haliburton decided to play with the emotions of the spectators at the Wells Fargo Center. Author of 14 points in the final act, including a winning shot to return to -2, the leader tried everything to overthrow Joel Embiid and his teammates. In vain, but the native of Wisconsin still leaves Pennsylvania with a career record in his pocket: 38 points (11/19 on shots and 11/12 on free throws), 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

LeBron James returns to Los Angeles for treatment | NBA

Absent against the Sixers and the Hornets, LeBron James will not return immediately. Affected in the left knee, the quadruple MVP had an MRI, and unfortunately the news is not very good. " His knee is swollen, and as long as it's swollen, he'll be out. » launched Frank Vogel before the game against the Hawks. Tonight, at 7:00 p.m., LeBron will miss his 3rd game in a row, and he went straight back to Los Angeles for treatment as his Lakers end their “road trip” tonight. Then, the next game is scheduled for Wednesday, at home, against the Blazers. According to Vogel, his star player will be able to play if the knee deflates… but we would not be surprised if the Lakers spared him as much as possible after a very trying month of January where he played at MVP level: 30.3 points, 8...

Tom Thibodeau does not count on Cam Reddish | NBA

Cam Reddish was warned: on his arrival in New York, after his desired departure from Atlanta, Tom Thibodeau had made him no promises. Two weeks later, the player has played little in his new colors and the situation is clear. Reddish, who has only 15 total minutes with the Knicks, is not part of the coach's plans at this time. “We talked about all that. We love him and we appreciate his talent.”, begins the coach for the New York Post. “The season is long. We knew that we had transferred a player who would not be in the rotation because we cannot add him without removing someone. There may be injuries, so you have to be patient. » Thibodeau therefore clings to his rotation of ten players. And only transfers like those mentioned from Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier or Alec Burks ...

All-Star Game: Andrew Wiggins responds to the controversy over his selection | NBA

Like Ja Morant, Andrew Wiggins picked up his first All-Star Game selection, but unlike the Grizzlies point guard, the Warriors winger isn't unanimous. For many, he took the place of Chris Paul or Devin Booker, and he owes his selection to an influx of votes from Korea. But Wiggins doesn't care. “It has been a long road to get here. I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I come here to play, then I go home to play with my children, then I go to bed. In this order. I play basketball, and I don't care about outside noise. I'm here to improve myself again and again. Everyone will have their say, but I take it as an additional motivation to progress and improve further. » “He was everywhere in defense. In attack, he is our most consistent player. Against the Nets, Wiggin...

What is James Harden suffering from? | NBA

Absent against Denver due to a thigh problem, James Harden was still on the bench against the Warriors, but not for the same reasons. Indeed, the 2018 MVP now suffers from the right hand. “She has been bothering him for a few days at least”, Steve Nash confirmed to New York Post. “He thought it was not a big deal, but he had pain on waking up on Saturday. With what he felt on Friday and Saturday when he got up, we did tests. It's nothing serious, but there is a sprain, that's for sure. » Obviously, the pain had been there for some time but it would be in training on Friday that the former Houston would have made things worse. "It's not for me to say, but it seems like it's been several days," continues the Brooklyn coach. “And shooting Friday brought pain. He doesn't remember...

Kristaps Porzingis’ knee is acting up again | NBA

Kristaps Porzingis may have gone for a ride with his right knee that has been battering him since his meniscus tear in the same knee contracted in the Orlando bubble in August 2020. Last night, the Latvian interior was only able to stay on the field for 11 minutes, enough time to score 5 points and take 1 rebound before going out and quickly forfeiting the rest of the game Dallas won against Indiana. . “He said he was a little worried. I hope it's nothing. If he's in pain, it doesn't make sense to play," reacted Luka Doncic after the meeting. As a result, Kristaps Porzingis will not travel to Orlando with the rest of the team and will therefore undergo additional examinations to find out more about the condition of his knee and possibly the duration of his unavailability. ...
