    Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra reached 800 career wins as his team beat Milwaukee in Emirates NBA Cup group play, learning of the milestone only after a jubilant locker-room soaking and becoming just the third coach to hit that mark with a single franchise. Spoelstra, whose home recently burned down, said he felt deep gratitude toward the organisation after years of continuity and success, while Tyler Herro and team-mates hailed his longevity as the 13-6 Heat continue their strong start and push for Cup progression and playoff positioning.

    Houston star Kevin Durant will miss the Rockets’ home game against the Phoenix Suns for personal reasons, postponing his first on court return to the city where he played the previous two and a half seasons and averaged nearly twenty seven points per game. Durant, now the Rockets’ leading scorer and under contract through 2028, was traded from Phoenix in a seven team deal that included Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green, with both teams starting strongly this season as Houston push toward the top of the Western Conference.

    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.

    Bulls guard Tre Jones has been named the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award winner for October after helping raise over $1.1 million for cancer research, supporting breast cancer awareness campaigns and backing violence prevention and small business initiatives across Chicago. Jones co-hosted a major Jimmy V Foundation gala, backed Susan G.

    Curry overtakes Vince Carter to reach 22nd on NBA all time scoring list

    November 2025

    Stephen Curry scored 34 points in a defeat to Orlando to move past Vince Carter into 22nd on the NBA all time scoring list, reaching 25,749 career points while continuing a season that has him averaging 29.1 points per game for Golden State. He hit the milestone on a second quarter three pointer and now closes in on Kevin Garnett’s 26,071 total, reflecting that passing Carter feels special after childhood one on one games during his father’s Toronto stint and recognising this climb strengthens his case among the league’s greatest scorers.

    The New Orleans Pelicans dismissed head coach Willie Green after a 2-10 opening, installing assistant James Borrego as interim boss while Joe Dumars cited repeated losses in the same manner and a failure to establish nightly effort as key reasons for the decision. Green’s tenure was shaped by Zion Williamson’s recurring injuries and only two first round playoff exits, while Dumars rebuilt the roster with veterans and lottery picks that have yet to gel. Borrego inherits a struggling squad with 70 games left and vows to add toughness and his own imprint immediately.

    Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns) has been fined 25,000 dollars by the league for making a lewd gesture late in the second quarter of Phoenix’s 133-98 win over the Indiana Pacers, adding another disciplinary note to the forward’s already controversial on-court reputation. The punishment, announced by NBA executive James Jones, underlines the league’s stance on player behaviour and continues Brooks’s pattern of drawing attention for antics as much as defence, reminding Phoenix that his edge occasionally brings unwanted scrutiny alongside his competitive intensity.

    Early 2025–26 NBA season, five years after the 2019–20 campaign

    Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) has transformed from a good 2019–20 All-Star into the dominant force of the league, stacking three MVP awards, two runner-up finishes and now leading the early Kia MVP race while driving Denver to a 9-2 start with relentless triple-double production.
    Jokic is averaging a triple-double while shooting an extraordinary rate on two-pointers, converting 101 of 129 attempts and hitting 67 percent overall.

    Mavericks fire GM Nico Harrison as fan anger and poor form hit boiling point

    November 2025

    Dallas dismissed general manager Nico Harrison following a home defeat to the Bucks that triggered “Fire Nico” chants from their own crowd. The move came months after the controversial trade sending Luka Doncic to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis. Harrison’s roster, hit by Anthony Davis’ extended absences, stumbled to a 3-8 record, souring fan sentiment and home atmosphere. Owner representative Patrick Dumont made the change, with Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi installed as co-interim GMs while Kidd stressed his focus remains on preparing the team on court.

    November 2025

    Bexar County voters approved up to 311 million in venue taxes toward a new multipurpose arena. The Spurs committed at least 500 million plus overruns and rent. The city’s proposed contribution is 489 million, with 1.4 billion in adjacent private development pledged. The package leans on visitor-paid venue taxes rather than property taxes, easing local resistance. Design work is at inception and the Frost Bank Center lease runs to 2032, allowing phased planning and community engagement before ground is broken.
