Things got heated at Bulls practice as Robin Lopez and Kris Dunn exchanged words.

Giannis Antetokounmpo takes his pregame routine seriously, from his afternoon snooze to the color of his shoes, and the Bucks MVP candidate sees no reason to change.

The Nets, in their loss to the Knicks on Thursday night, had the worst shooting percentage (.269) by any team since January 2012, and their eight 2-point field goals were the fewest by a team since 1950.

Speaking to reporters for the first time since initially injuring his shoulder in mid-November, Kyrie Irving said Saturday that he opted to receive a cortisone shot and will reevaluate whether arthroscopic surgery is needed in a month or two.

One month after he was fired as head coach of the New York Knicks, David Fizdale said that he has “no ill feelings” toward the organization.

Jimmy Butler didn't care that he had a 40-point triple-double on Sunday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The only thing that mattered to the Heat star was beating the Lakers to get within 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

James Harden became the first NBA player ever to drop a 30-point triple-double in his debut for a team. He had 32 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds in his first game for the Nets.

Kevin Durant is eligible to rejoin the Nets on Friday, putting him in line to play against the Warriors next Saturday.

After another huge performance in a Nets win Friday night, James Harden made clear his thoughts on the league’s biggest individual honor: “I feel like I am the MVP. I mean, it’s just that simple.”

Nets coach Steve Nash said he doubts Kevin Durant will play this week as he continues to rehab from a hamstring strain that has sidelined him for a month and a half.

Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 49 points to outduel Kevin Durant’s 42 and lift the Bucks to a win over the Nets that came down to the final seconds on Sunday.

The Knicks have sold out the 15,000 seats available for Games 1 and 2 against the Hawks -- a reduced capacity for MSG, but the largest crowd of the postseason so far.

Prepared for what might be a rude reception in Boston when the first-round series shifts for Game 3, former Celtics guard Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets, up 2-0 already, are “just going to focus on what we can control.”

Nets forward Jeff Green is out for the rest of the Celtics series with an injury, while Boston star Jayson Tatum (eye) will play in Game 3 on Friday.

Jeff Green was ruled out with the left plantar fascia strain he suffered in Game 2 of the Nets’ series against the Celtics.

James Harden, who missed over a month with a right hamstring strain during the regular season, is out for Game 2 vs. the Bucks.

James Harden and Jeff Green are progressing from injuries, but they won’t play in the Nets’ Game 3 against the Bucks.

Kyrie Irving (ankle) and James Harden (hamstring) will miss Game 5 on Tuesday against the Bucks, the Nets say. Irving had an MRI on his ankle, which confirmed a sprain.

Everything you need to know about what happened in the 2021 NBA conference finals is right here.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (hyperextended left knee) is “making good progress,” per coach Mike Budenholzer, but the Bucks star still drew a doubtful tag for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday against the Suns.
