    Steve Kerr
    December 2025

    Steve Kerr again used his pre-game platform to call for common-sense gun reforms after two people were killed and nine wounded at Brown University, lamenting that seven years on from his Parkland comments he is still speaking about mass shootings that could be reduced with political will. Drawing on his own family’s experience of gun violence, Kerr stressed most U.S. gun owners are responsible but argued a majority of Americans back tighter laws, urging people of all parties to imagine losing a loved one and to pressure representatives by saying “enough” rather than tuning out yet another tragedy.

    Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, rehabbing an Achilles tear from Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, will join “NBA on Prime” as a player contributor, sharing behind the scenes content on his recovery and offering analysis across the season, starting with Tuesday’s NBA Nightcap broadcast. Haliburton says he wants to counter overly negative, narrative driven talk shows by joining Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Udonis Haslem and host Taylor Rooks to highlight modern players positively, explain tactics more clearly for casual fans and add a current locker room perspective to Prime’s studio coverage.

    Desmond Bane has been fined $35,000 after the Orlando Magic guard was judged to have thrown the game ball with force at an opponent in an unsportsmanlike manner during the fourth quarter of a 106-100 defeat to the New York Knicks. The incident, announced in a statement by league operations chief James Jones, earned Bane a technical foul on the night and adds to the NBA’s recent clampdown on player conduct, though the guard avoided suspension and remains available for Orlando’s upcoming fixtures.

    James Harden moved into the NBA’s top ten all-time scorers by passing Carmelo Anthony during the Clippers’ loss to the Timberwolves, hitting two free throws to reach 28,290 career points and extend a remarkable scoring career now spanning 17 seasons of constant offensive production. Starting the night 20 points behind Anthony, Harden finished with 34 on 10-of-18 shooting but missed a tying three at the buzzer in a 109-106 defeat, later calling the milestone a “blessing” and proof that work is paying off as he targets higher spots.

    Luka Doncic announced the birth of his second daughter, Olivia, after leaving the Lakers to be in Ljubljana with fiancée Anamaria Goltes. Listed absent for “personal reasons”, he missed two games while leading the league in scoring during an MVP-calibre start to the season. With the Lakers going 1-1 in his absence, coach JJ Redick says Doncic could rejoin the team as early as Sunday in Philadelphia. Already averaging 35.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 8.9 assists, his brief family break slightly interrupts, but does not derail, Los Angeles’ strong 16-6 start.

    Harden nears top-10 all-time scoring as he reflects on “life-changing” rise from sixth man

    December 2025

    James Harden is on the brink of entering the NBA’s all-time top-10 scoring list and calls the achievement “like a dream come true”, recounting his journey from Oklahoma City sixth man to offensive centrepiece whose step-back three and foul-drawing mastery defined a modern scoring era. Harden credits his Houston years under Mike D’Antoni’s free-flowing system for unlocking his peak, while admitting he might have a ring had he stayed in OKC. He says limited athleticism forced him to perfect skill-based scoring, and at 36 he still believes he can climb higher on the list.

From off-the-grid training in Colorado to two weeks exploring Rome and workouts in Dallas, their time together has sharpened communication and pick-and-roll reads, reflected in elite efficiency numbers, shared assist totals and a dominant two-man net rating driving Detroit’s resurgence.

    December 2025

    The NBA fined the Cleveland Cavaliers $250,000 for violating the Player Participation Policy after determining that Darius Garland, classified as a star under the rules, should have been available for a nationally televised game against the Toronto Raptors but instead played only in the previous night’s non national contest. League investigators found Garland was capable of appearing in either game, yet the Cavaliers chose to rest him for the broadcast fixture, breaching the requirement to prioritise star availability in national TV windows, with the sizeable fine reflecting the NBA’s intent to strictly enforce its new participation standards.
