Gordon’s development as a shooter is such a boon for the #Nuggets

Joel Rush @joelrushnba.bsky.social · 2d

Aaron Gordon goes into his bag for the elbow jumper...

...having a basketball court for a living room seems to have definitely paid off, AG just looks so smooth and confident with his shot these days from any spot on the floor

Interesting. #Bucks and #Knicks talk. Giannis Antetokounmpo specifically highlighted New York as his preferred destination if things don’t work out in Milwaukee. #NBASky

Shams Charania Tweets @shamsbot.bsky.social · 9d

New York emerged as the only team Giannis Antetokounmpo desired outside of Milwaukee in the offseason, sources told ESPN, and the Knicks and Bucks engaged in talks for a window of time.

Inside the clouds leaving Giannis' future hanging in the balance:

OOF nifty dime from Cooper Flagg 👀

#Mavs #NBASky

MrBuckBuck @mrbuckbucknba.bsky.social · 9d

Cooper Flagg takes it coast-to-coast and dumps it off to Dwight Powell who lays it in

Powell then receives a powerful knee to a very sensitive area.

As it turns out, yes. Kuminga inked the two-year contract offered by GS. Second year team option.

Golden State is announcing a lot of the free agent moves we’ve expected for awhile. Does this mean something reached a tipping point between the #Warriors and Kuminga?

Having Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson take another step forward becomes even more important for the #Rockets now. Also more riding on Reed Sheppard hopefully grabbing a consistent role.

Really sucks that Fred VanVleet is likely going to lose the whole season to this ACL tear.

Unfortunately, the injury also impacts the Houston #Rockets season outlook significantly. Probably knocks them down a tier. FVV’s steady hand will be missed.

FROM SHAMS:

Just in: Houston Rockets' Fred VanVleet has suffered a torn ACL, sources tell ESPN. A devastating, potentially season-ending loss for the Rockets with their starting point guard and leader. https://t.co/Qhf0V58DwR

Okay, so regarding this whole #Clippers situation…

Steve Ballmer has already done an interview with ESPN addressing the tampering allegations.

My question is, when are we going to hear from Kawhi Leonard and/or his representation? That’s who I’m most curious to hear from at this point.

Paige Bueckers gets BUCKETS!!

#WNBASky

Daniel Thompson @dr-thompson.bsky.social · Aug 21

Sparks won.
Kelsey Plum hit an incredible buzzer beater.

But I think it's fair to say we will all remember this as the night a ROOKIE Paige Bueckers dropped 44 on 17/21 shooting. Here's those 17 buckets.
