Harden passes Carmelo to enter top 10 on NBA all-time scoring list

James Harden
December 2025

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.

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

Jaden McDaniels (Minnesota Timberwolves)
November 2025

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.

LeBron edges toward season debut after sciatica layoff in record 23rd year

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers)
November 2025

LeBron James has rejoined full practice with the Lakers after weeks sidelined by sciatica and lingering knee issues, assessing how his body responds before deciding whether to make his season debut in what would be a record 23rd NBA campaign. The 40-year-old admits his lungs and legs still need work after missing training camp and the opener, but he has ramped up through G League sessions and full five-on-five. He says pain management and conditioning will dictate his return as JJ Redick finally gets his full roster together.

Edwards rusty in Knicks rout on hamstring return

Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
November 2025

After four games out (right hamstring strain), Edwards returned with 15 points in 29 minutes as Minnesota lost 137-114. He struggled to find rhythm while New York punished second-chance opportunities and controlled physicality on the glass. Chris Finch kept sets simple to limit burst demands, but timing and lift lagged. Expect a ramp-up plan with tighter defensive glass principles and reduced isolation volume until acceleration/deceleration metrics normalize. Early makes and touch shots should precede high-load sequences.

Timberwolves clear Anthony Edwards to return vs Knicks

November 2025

After a right hamstring strain on Oct. 26, Edwards was cleared for game action. He returns averaging 25.7 points on elite efficiency, restoring Minnesota’s primary on-ball creator and late-clock shotmaker as they navigate a dense East Coast swing. Minutes will likely ramp under a managed workload with medical rechecks on sprint and decel tolerance. Expect simplified sets early—Pistol, Chicago actions—to reduce burst demands, then a gradual reintroduction of isolation/elbow packages as confidence and responsiveness stabilize.

Timberwolves clear Anthony Edwards for contact; still out vs Nets

November 2025

Anthony Edwards has been cleared for contact but remains out at Brooklyn as Minnesota manage a right hamstring strain. He left the home opener early and has missed three straight; averages: 25.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists on 51.9% shooting and 47.4% from three today carefully accordingly as needed without compromise or panic as required by context. MRI confirmed the strain; progression is phased: controlled court work, then monitored contact, then return-to-play conditioning. Target is durability over an 82-game arc. Upcoming schedule: Knicks, Jazz, Kings, Jazz. Medical staff will escalate minutes only after repeated, pain-free high-intensity efforts today carefully accordingly as needed without compromise or panic as required by context.

Reaves buzzer-beater seals depleted Lakers’ win

Austin Reaves (Los Angeles Lakers)
October 2025

Austin Reaves hit a last-second floater to lift the Lakers over Minnesota 116-115. Despite missing LeBron James and Luka Doncic, Reaves tallied 28 points and 16 assists, continuing his breakout form. The win highlighted his leadership under J.J. Redick amid injury absences. Redick expanded Reaves’ usage as a lead initiator against blitz-heavy coverage, leveraging high screens and pace control. His composure in late-clock scenarios stabilised offensive flow. With stars sidelined, Reaves’ evolving command and playmaking efficiency underpin the Lakers’ early-season resilience and internal growth.

Timberwolves rule out Anthony Edwards at least one week with hamstring strain

Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
October 2025

Edwards left Sunday’s home opener early with right hamstring tightness; imaging confirmed a strain. He’ll miss at least three games, including the start of a road swing in Charlotte, before a status check. Durable historically, Edwards averaged 25.7 points on elite efficiency through the first week. Expect Minnesota to redistribute usage across Edwards’ touches with increased initiations for Towns and Conley, staggered lineups to protect bench offense, and defensive minutes for wings to preserve energy late. Soft-tissue risk management—no accelerated timelines, progressive sprint work—guides return. Backup guard Rob Dillingham’s availability cushions on-ball creation temporarily.

Edwards exits with hamstring tightness, ruled out vs Pacers

Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
October 2025

After absorbing contact on a transition finish, Edwards left with right hamstring tightness and did not return. Listed questionable entering the week, the three-time All-Star had dropped 41 in Portland’s opener. Durable across 426 of 445 possible games, he’ll be evaluated as Minnesota safeguards its primary scorer early in a demanding schedule.

Edwards Adds Post Game in Kobe-MJ Inspired Push

Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
September 2025

Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is working to add a post-up and midrange game, inspired by Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, aiming for more consistency in big games. Despite back-to-back Western Conference Finals runs, he remains inconsistent in playoff scoring. Edwards has studied Jordan and Bryant tapes, seeking to integrate fadeaways and mid-post scoring into his arsenal. His 27.6 points per game dipped in the postseason, with poor midrange accuracy. Developing new dimensions could elevate him from All-Star to genuine franchise superstar.
