    Former Wake Forest star and 12-year NBA veteran Rodney Rogers has died at 54 from natural causes linked to his long-standing spinal cord injury, ending a 17-year period of paralysis that he used to inspire others through advocacy and foundation work. The ex-ACC Player of the Year and 2000 Sixth Man of the Year, whose No. 54 jersey was retired by Wake Forest, spent his post-accident years promoting resilience for people with spinal injuries, earning a Distinguished Alumni Award and an honorary degree as former coaches and teammates hailed his strength and character.

    The NBA fined Dillon Brooks $35,000 for confronting officials and using inappropriate language after Phoenix’s one-point win over the Timberwolves, adding another disciplinary mark to the forward’s already volatile reputation with referees and the league office. The incident occurred immediately after the final buzzer at Mortgage Matchup Center, prompting a review by Basketball Operations chief James Jones and resulting in the fine, with the league again signalling a low tolerance for direct verbal abuse of officials in tense late-game situations.

    Cleveland’s 10-6 start, compared with last season’s 15-1 surge toward a 64-win campaign, has exposed clear slippage as injuries to Darius Garland and Max Strus, weaker rebounding and a dip in free-throw efficiency drag the Cavaliers away from the dominant identity they built in 2024-25. Coach Kenny Atkinson has already used nine different starting lineups while Donovan Mitchell urges teammates to stop leaning on last year’s success, with Evan Mobley yet to show a new offensive gear and Friday’s home game against the 2-13 Pacers treated as an urgency test.

    Kings dealt major blow as Sabonis suffers partial meniscus tear

    Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis has been ruled out with a partial meniscus tear in his left knee and will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks, a serious setback for a Kings team already sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference at 3-12. The 29-year-old former All-Star has averaged 17.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 11 games this season, anchoring Sacramento’s offense and rebounding, and his absence will force deeper rotation minutes on a struggling roster that lacks alternative interior playmaking and reliable size.

    Illness sidelines Cooper Flagg for first time in rookie campaign

    Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg missed his first NBA game due to illness, sitting out the narrow 113-111 loss to the New York Knicks after a demanding start to the season in which he has been thrust into primary playmaking duties. The top pick is averaging 15.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 34 minutes while adapting to a de facto point guard role with Kyrie Irving out until at least December, and his enforced rest comes as Dallas juggle heavy minutes and ongoing uncertainty over Anthony Davis’ calf return.

    Zion Williamson returns from hamstring strain in Pelicans’ loss to Nuggets

    November 2025

    Zion Williamson made his comeback for New Orleans with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during a 125-118 loss to Denver, offering a vital on-court boost to a Pelicans team that has slumped badly without him. Interim coach James Borrego kept Zion on a managed load in his first game since early November, praising his impact on the team’s spirit and the gravity he created for scorers like rookie Derik Queen, but New Orleans’ 2-13 record underlines how fragile their season remains around his availability.

    Sixers lose Kelly Oubre Jr. to knee ligament sprain for at least two weeks

    November 2025

    Philadelphia forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is expected to miss a minimum of two weeks after an MRI revealed a sprain to the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee, forcing him to pause an impressive start to the season as a key starter. Oubre hyperextended his knee against Detroit, and further tests confirmed ligament damage that now joins Joel Embiid and Paul George’s knee issues on a concerning Sixers injury list, stripping out a 16.8-point, 5.1-rebound contributor who was logging heavy minutes on the wing.

    Ironman McDaniels finally sidelined as Timberwolves lose in-form two-way ace

    Minnesota forward Jaden McDaniels missed the Wizards game with a sprained left wrist, ending a run of 188 consecutive appearances in which he had quietly become the Timberwolves’ best perimeter defender and one of the league’s most efficient scoring forwards. McDaniels is averaging career highs of 17.5 points, 52.1 percent from three, 55.3 percent from the field and 84.2 percent at the line this season, and his absence threatens to disrupt Minnesota’s early momentum as they juggle winning now with keeping key contributors healthy.

    Golden State have ruled Stephen Curry out of their road finale in Miami due to right ankle soreness after he twice tweaked it on this trip, ending the Warriors star’s six-game swing a night early despite him finishing both previous contests. Coach Steve Kerr highlighted a brutal schedule that has given Golden State no practice time and 17 games in 30 days, with Al Horford and Jonathan Kuminga also sidelined, as he renewed calls for fewer regular season games to protect players and performance levels.
