Mayor’s office confirms that MLB players will be subject to the same vaccine mandate that is keeping Nets star Kyrie Irving from playing in Brooklyn.

With his 1,336th career win, Spurs legend Gregg Popovich passed Don Nelson as the NBA’s new all-time leader in coaching wins.

A pessimistic picture is being painted that Zion Williamson is not long term for New Orleans, and that his family’s role in his affairs has not helped.

With only seven weeks remaining in the regular season, there is still a lot to be decided in the intense push for the postseason.

Stephen Curry scored a game-high 50 points and set an NBA All-Star Game record with 16 made 3s. He also record for made 3s in a quarter with seven.

If he embraces his role in Brooklyn, Ben Simmons has a chance to help the Nets reach heights they were unable to reach with James Harden.

What was expected to be a team destined to win championships turned into a dud and disintegrated amid injuries, vaccine refusal and frustration.

The Brooklyn Nets are trading James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks.

Daryl Morey had said trading Ben Simmons by the deadline is “less likely than likely,” but it now appears the Sixers are willing to listen and talk.
