But, beyond that, Thibodeau knows the Knicks need to better their offense. He brought up a need to add to their offense when he appeared on ESPN’s telecast of the NBA Draft Combine in late June. If Jaden Sprin…

At the moment, the Los Angeles Lakers own just one pick in the NBA draft: No. 22. But the Lakers are still taking a look at players outside of that range.

Hurt is projected to be selected in the late-second round, but it is also possible that he will go undrafted and get picked up as an undrafted free agent.

Drafted in ninth overall in the 2007 NBA draft, Joakim Noah became a beloved fan favorite during his time with the Chicago Bulls thanks to the heart, hustle and muscle — as Stacey King likes to say — he consistently brought to the hardwood each game. He was a key player during the Bulls’ success in the early 2010s. Led by Derrick Rose in his prime, the Bulls finished atop the league standings for the 2010-11 regular season with a 62-20 record. That same season, Rose was named the league’s MVP…

When it’s time to announce the Chicago Bulls’ starting lineup at the United Center, the lights go out for a moment, creating a mostly dark arena. Then, the place is illuminated with red tones as the electronic signage wrapping around the stadium flashes various red graphics while red spotlights travel throughout the environment. The massive video scoreboard — which features 8,600 square feet displays and debuted during the 2019-20 season — then plays what has become an iconic introduction vid…

The New York Knicks have a lot to decide as the NBA draft nears. With four picks in this year’s draft (Nos. 19, 21, 32 and 58), the Knicks have a good amount of flexibility.
