December 2025

Danilo Gallinari announced his retirement from the NBA, ending a 14 season career in which the Italian forward scored 11,607 points, the most ever by an Italian player, while averaging 14.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists as a floor spacing offensive specialist. Drafted sixth overall by the New York Knicks in 2008, Gallinari evolved into a stretch four with 38.1 percent three point shooting, played 777 regular season and 51 playoff games, and thanked fans in a farewell statement for a journey he had always dreamed of.

Zion Williamson
December 2025

The New Orleans Pelicans ruled out Zion Williamson indefinitely with a grade 2 right hip adductor strain after fresh imaging, another major setback for the former No 1 pick who had already missed significant time this season with a hamstring problem. Coach James Borrego said the team learned of the issue on Tuesday and are taking his recovery day by day, stressing that nobody wants to play more th

Shai’s “quiet” dominance pushes Thunder toward historic season

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
December 2025

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is quietly assembling one of the most dominant seasons in NBA history, leading reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder to a 20-1 start while building on last year’s MVP, Finals MVP and scoring-title haul with even better production across virtually every category. Gilgeous-Alexander is posting career highs in efficiency, playmaking and clutch scoring, with elite shooting from two and three, microscopic turnovers and suffocating defense that anchor the league’s top rated unit, prompting advanced metrics to project a campaign rivaling prime Stephen Curry and Michael Jordan.

Nuggets sweat on Jamal Murray after fresh ankle sprain in loss to Mavs

Jamal Murray
December 2025

Jamal Murray sprained his right ankle early in the third quarter against Dallas, briefly returned, then sat the fourth as Denver slumped to a fourth straight home defeat, raising fears of another significant absence for a guard already carrying a heavy scoring and playmaking load. Coach David Adelman admits the team is “hugely” affected when Murray cannot finish games, with scans due on Tuesday and Denver already missing Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, forcing role players to cover for the loss of Murray’s lethal pick and roll partnership with Nikola Jokic on both ends.

Seth Curry
December 2025

Golden State have signed veteran guard Seth Curry for the rest of the season, reuniting him with brother Stephen on an NBA roster for the first time, after Seth impressed last year with Charlotte by leading the league in three point percentage at 45.6. Fresh from a strong shooting season and a history with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, Seth joins a team currently missing Steph due to a quad contusion, giving Steve Kerr another elite spacer while the brothers wait for medical clearance to finally share the floor in regular season action.

Joel Embiid
December 2025

Joel Embiid came back to the Sixers lineup against Atlanta, logging 18 points in 30 minutes after right knee soreness kept him out for nine games, but his return was not enough as Philadelphia lost 142-134 in a draining double-overtime battle. Cleared after a pregame workout, Embiid joined Paul George and Tyrese Maxey in the starting five for the first time this season, continuing a career marked by elite production and repeated injuries soon after signing a three-year, $193 million extension that begins next season.

Trae Young out at least two more weeks with knee sprain

Trae Young
December 2025

The Hawks expect Trae Young to miss a minimum of two more weeks as he rehabs a sprained MCL in his right knee, extending an absence that has already cost him 15 games and will likely render him ineligible for major end-of-season awards under the 65-game rule. Scans confirmed no ACL damage, and Atlanta say recovery is progressing well, but Young will be re-evaluated in 14 days while the team, now 12-8 and 10-5 without him, leans on improved depth and ball movement to survive another seven-plus games without last season’s assists leader and four-time All-Star.

Kevon Looney spells out how he wants to be remembered

Kevon Looney
November 2025

Kevon Looney has reflected on a decade with Golden State during his first return as a Pelican, saying he wants to be remembered as a tough, selfless big man who showed up every night, did the dirty work, never complained and brought a professional mindset to the Warriors’ locker room. The three time champion, who once played nearly 300 straight games, highlighted his willingness to accept any role and focus on rebounding and effort, while Steve Kerr praised his maturity, extra possessions and quiet leadership, admitting Golden State still miss the stability Looney provided on and off the floor.

Trae Young ruled out at least two more weeks with knee sprain

Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)
November 2025

The Hawks confirmed Trae Young will miss at least another two weeks as he rehabs a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, extending an absence that has already cost him fifteen games and leaving him short of the 65 game threshold for major individual awards. Young suffered the injury on Oct 29 against Brooklyn, with scans ruling out ACL damage but confirming an MCL sprain. Atlanta have gone 10–5 without him and sit 12–8 overall, yet face at least seven more games minus their four time All Star and reigning assists leader while he continues strengthening work before a further medical review.

Anthony Davis returns as Mavericks fall to Lakers

Anthony Davis (Dallas Mavericks)
November 2025

Davis made his first appearance since late October after a left calf strain, starting for Dallas and producing 12 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in 28 minutes in a 129–119 defeat that dropped the Mavericks to 5–14 on the season. Having missed fourteen games while the team went 3–11 and slid to joint second-worst in the West, Davis’ efficient outing offered some encouragement, and Dallas now hope his return to roughly 21 points and 10 rebounds form can stabilise their defence and interior presence as he rebuilds rhythm.
