The official 2024-25 NBA and WNBA thread

Looks like we haven't had one in a couple years.

When MAGA and sports betting collide

Threatening, anti-gay email sent to wife of Liberty's Breanna Stewart - ESPN

Joel Embiid recently shoved a reporter in the locker room for writing a column criticizing him for sitting out games. This is apparently a big deal in an NBA in which any team with a pulse reaches the playoffs.

While the column in question included a couple of cheap, personal shots, shoving and threatening reporters is obviously sub-optimal behavior.

I find it hilarious that the penalty for this reaction to a column criticizing him for sitting out games is... a three-game suspension.

I'm really excited for the Fever's new head coach over in the WNBA, can't wait to see what the reset of the offseason brings.

With ya. With the Hawks still being the mediocre team they always are, I'm just waiting for the WNBA to kick off.

Don't forget to mention the part where it needed to be the next 3 games he's available... so Philly just said he was available to play the next 3 which I think he would have sat out anyways (maybe not the Hornets one).

Just saw the comments from the reporter. Pretty vile below the belt stuff. I’m with Embiid on this one
