The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Denver Nuggets from the NBA playoffs, with Rudy Gobert potentially putting the icing on the cake.

Rudy Gobert is, to put it kindly, not exactly known for his offensive skill.

The WNBA may have agreed for teams to have flights chartered this season, but they haven’t been distributed equally, with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (along with the Minnesota Lynx) receiving first dibs.

When the WNBA announced on May 9 that all teams would have flights chartered this season, it felt like the end of a problem that existed for far too long. But what was missed by some in that announcement is that the charters for every game would...

Tyrese Haliburton left one final dagger in the Knicks after the Pacers beat them to head to the Eastern Conference Finals.

As most seven-game series’ in the NBA playoffs are wont to do, Knicks vs. Pacers got pretty chippy by the end, perhaps most notably with New York guard Donte DiVincenzo accusing Indiana’s roster of “trying to be tough guys” after his team’s Game 5 win to take a 3-2 series lead.

DiVincenzo’s teammates then decided to...
