Reggie Jackson To Compete For Starting Gig

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson is expected to have to compete for the starting point guard spot next season.

Kawhi Leonard Not Cleared For 5-On-5 Yet

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has not been cleared for 5-on-5 work yet. Although, Leonard has been making good progress during his workouts this summer.

Al Horford Expected To Sit More Games

Boston Celtics center Al Horford was a major factor during the team's playoff run last season.

It is also rumored that the […]

Ha-Seong Kim Dealing With Thumb Issue

JD Davison, Brodric Thomas To Compete For Roster Spot

Boston Celtics guards JD Davison and Brodric Thomas are expected to compete for a roster spot this summer.

Aron Baynes To Work Out For Teams
