Kyrie Irving’s trade request has reportedly been fulfilled.
The Brooklyn Nets are sending the polarizing point guard to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round pick and multiple second-round picks, according to multiple reports.
Irving requested a trade following failed contract talks with the Nets, just days after he was named an All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference. Irving said if he wasn’t traded, he would become a free ag
After being in Russian custody since February, WNBA star Brittney Griner has been released from prison, reports CBS News. She was freed early Thursday morning in a one-for-one prisoner swap for international arms dealer Viktor Bout also known as the “Merchant of Death.”
To secure Griner’s release, President Joe Biden signed an order to commute Bout’s 25-year federal prison sentence and return him to Russia.
In conjunction with Moscow, the prisoner swap was negotiated over the last few wee
Vanessa Bryant, the widow of the late NBA star Kobe Bryant, wants Nike to explain why the Mambacita sneakers that she worked on to honor her daughter have been released without her permission.
Bryant said Thursday in an Instagram post that she was upset that the black-and-white shoes, with the names “Kobe” and “Gigi” engraved on them, were released when neither she nor her other daughters had received pairs.

After another huge triple-double, Jimmy Butler has the Heat riding high heading into Game 6 against the Lakers: "We live for these moments."
The Los Angeles Lakers stars yelled at each other over a missed defensive assignment. Signs of discord between LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Hardly. Instead, it showed how the two do not shy away from holding each other accountable.
The Lakers cruised to a 124-114 win over the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Friday for a commanding 2-0 series lead. And yet James and Davi
Well before this entire year went haywire with the coronavirus pandemic, racial unrest and an unstable economy, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James sounded apathetic on whether he cared about winning the NBA’s regular-season MVP award.

The Houston Rockets were eliminated from the 2020 NBA playoffs on Saturday, as the Los Angeles Lakers completed a gentleman's sweep with a 119-96 victory in Game 5. On its face, it's not a surprising result. The Rockets were a No. 4 seed. They n
The Milwaukee Bucks have found themselves in an 0-3 hole in the Eastern Conference semifinals. For much of the Game 3 collapse that allowed the Miami Heat to take such a commanding lead of the series, 2018-19 NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo was on the bench.
Antetokounmpo has played just 33.0 minutes per game in seven playoff games, a modest sum for a superstar of his caliber by any means, let alone during a series over which they have quickly lost control.
