NBA news: Carmelo Anthony to Lakers SHOCK, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James | Other | Sport

Carmelo Anthony has been backed to sign for Los Angeles Lakers by NBA expert Chris Sheridan.

However, a deal could reportedly only go through if the free agent was willing to be a bit-part player.

The Lakers are in the market to strengthen their roster around star man LeBron James.

Magic Johnson tried to acquire Trevor Ariza from Phoenix Suns last week but they opted to instead do business with Washington Wizards.

It means the Lakers are still scouring the market for players who

Raptors have a superstar ready to duel with best in Leonard

TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors had seen this movie before.

When Kevin Durant hit a completely absurd turnaround fall-away 3-pointer in the corner to tie the game at 119 in the final seconds of regulation, he completely wiped away what had been an 18-point Raptors lead. In the moment, it seemed like the cap on another night of succumbing to pressure for a franchise that ha

LeBron James erupted for a season-high 51 points Sunday night in Miami, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 113-97 win against the Heat.

Teammate Kyle Kuzma says James—who shot 19 for 31 from the field, and also grabbed eight rebounds—“could probably average 40 if he wanted to.”

LeBron James passed the half-century mark, scoring 32 points more than anyone else on the floor.

“Just give him the ball and get out of the way. ... He could probably average

Carmelo Anthony and the Houston Rockets are done with each other, so why hasn't the team just gone ahead and waive the former superstar? It's already been four games since Anthony played any minutes with the team.

It appears that releasing ​Anthony won't be happening anytime soon though, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

HOUSTON – Inside this very building, the Toyota Center, nearly six months ago in the Western Conference finals, Golden State Warriors All-Stars Draymond Green and Kevin Durant weren’t having it.

The Houston Rockets had just gone up 3-2 in the series, and while the pair was getting dressed in the locker room, they became irritated that a reporter would suggest they were in trouble.

“Get the [expletive] out of here,” Green responded swiftly. “Watch us

Derrick Rose stunned the basketball world Wednesday night, hanging a career-high 50 points on the visiting Utah Jazz, and leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 128-125 win.

An emotional D-Rose talked afterwards about how hard he had to grind just to get back on the court after so many injury-related setbacks throughout the years.


Per the Star Tribune:

“It means a lot, man,” Rose said. “It shows we’re coming togeth

We jumped right into it this week of NBA basketball on Monday with nine games on the docket. Unfortunately, a number of key injuries kept this from being one of the best nights of early-season action, but we had no shortage of excitement. Giannis Antetokounmpo (concussion protocol) and Kawhi Leonard.

Never before had a World Series game gone 18 innings or taken more than seven hours.

Thanks to a pair of run-scoring errors in a wild 13th inning, the Dodgers and Red Sox played the longest game in World Series history Friday night. It was the longest game in World Series history and it's not even close. Max Muncy hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th to keep the Dodgers alive in this series.
