It obviously would not make sense for the Celtics to be a seller at the NBA trade deadline. But if it wants to improve its roster ahead of a potentially deep playoff run, Boston will need to give something up in order to add. The realistic trade candidates on the...

We’ll dive into some NBA hoops tonight with an intriguing inter-conference matchup as the Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Memphis Grizzlies tonight on TNT. Cleveland sits in the fifth spot in the East with their 32-21 record. They’ve shown flashes of excellence and promise of a potential postseason run, but their youth leads to inconsistency. Memphis is 32-19 and second in the West, battling injuries as they chase down Denver for that top seed. Still, they have struggled as of late.

Jaylen Brown has grown into a fan favorite with the Boston Celtics. However, he’s kept the receipts of everything said before he even took the floor before the TD Garden crowd. Brown, now with an NBA Finals and two All-Star appearances under his belt, wasn’t nearly as well received...

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (injury management) has been ruled out of Thursday night’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets, per the league’s injury report. As they’ve done all season long, the Warriors are making sure to give Klay rest nights on back-to-backs in order to lower his risk of re-injury to his Achilles. The Warriors had a hard-fought overtime defeat against the Timberwolves last night where Thompson logged 40 minutes, his second-most this season. Without Thompson and potentially more starters being announced later, it will be an uphill battle for the Golden State Reserves to pull off the upset in Denver tonight.

It was well worth waiting just a little bit longer for Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown. After missing out on being named a starter for the NBA All-Star Game last week, Brown found out he’ll still attend the NBA’s marquee exhibition event when he was announced Thursday as one of the reserves for the Eastern Conference.

Marc Savard’s NHL career was cut short due to lingering effects from concussions — most notably from a dirty hit by Matt Cooke during a Pittsburgh Penguins-Boston Bruins game in March of 2010. Savard missed the remainder of the regular season but returned for the second round of...

There is something about this generation of athletes. The GOATs refuse to give in to Father Time. Roger Federer won a major at 38. Serena Williams won a major at 35 years old while pregnant. Lionel Messi just won the World Cup at 35, and I don’t have to spell out everything the recently retired Tom Brady has accomplished past 40.

BOSTON — Many things were evident to Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving following an embarrassing loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. First, the Nets didn’t do anything well enough on the floor to climb out of a gigantic 46-16 hole after the first quarter. The...

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday night’s matchup against the New York Knicks, per the league’s injury report. Oladipo had played 16 games straight before this and has only missed two games since returning from his knee injury on December 6th. It’s safe to say this is a legitimate injury rather than a rest night for the 30-year-old. Miami enters the back half of a four-game road trip with a matchup against the Knicks as they look to distance themselves from New York in sixth place within the Eastern Conference.

The Boston Celtics have a new biggest fan in Julian Edelman. Edelman was in Massachusetts on Tuesday, celebrating the state’s legalization of sports betting. Naturally, the Patriots legend decided to make a bet, placing $11k on the Celtics to win the 2023 NBA Finals at +360 odds. “I’m ready...

BOSTON — Brooklyn Nets coach Jacque Vaughn didn’t allow his team to point fingers following a blowout loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. Mainly because Vaughn stepped in and put the blame on his shoulders for the Nets getting shellacked by the Celtics, 139-96, on the TD Garden parquet.

BOSTON — The NBA’s last two-minute reports have certainly caught the attention of Boston Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla this season. It’s to the point that the contents of them have become appointment viewing for Mazzulla. “Every single one,” Mazzulla said on if he looks at...

With Tom Brady now officially retired, it’s a virtual certainty that the Patriots will retire his No. 12. Zero players have worn it since Brady left New England three years ago. But what about the NFL as a whole retiring Brady’s number? Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan made...

BOSTON — Trying to divvy up credit through the Celtics’ historic start hasn’t been an easy task. Though Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have produced superstar performances on a near-nightly basis, any given game can provide a breakthrough performance for a number of players on the Celtics roster. There’s one guy, however, who has garnered praise to the level of Tatum and Brown throughout Boston’s most successful stretches.

Linus Ullmark continues to hold down the fort for the Boston Bruins. The Black and Gold played some signature Bruins hockey in their 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs to close out the first half of the season Wednesday night. Ullmark made 33 saves on 35 shots in the...

BOSTON — Finding something negative about the Celtics feels like nitpicking at this point, but there’s a growing concern about how much basketball Jayson Tatum has played over the last three years. Outside the locker room, that is. The Celtics’ blowout victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday...
