The Knicks are the East’s team to beat

After toppling the defending champion Boston Celtics in a shocking upset in the Eastern Conference semi-finals this spring, The New York Knicks immediately became the favorites to represent the conference in the NBA Finals. The Indiana Pacers, a team that will no doubt go down as having one of the most compelling Cinderella stories in modern NBA history, had other plans.

But this year, the East is more open than ever (though Knicks guard Jalen Brunson insists he’s “not a fan” of the narrative of a wide open conference). The Detroit Pistons have made a remarkable turnaround from being at the bottom of the East standings a few years ago to the top of them, but the Knicks’ showing in Cup play, ultimately hoisting the trophy in the third year of the contest, has shown what many believed heading into this season: they’re the team to beat.

Brunson continues to be every bit the superstar his franchise needs, Mikal Bridges is having a fantastic season, and (knocks on wood) they’re as healthy as they’ve been in ages. New head coach Mike Brown appears to be just the breath of fresh air the doctor ordered after things had gotten stale with Tom Thibodeau, getting more creative with the offense and going deeper with rotations, and the NBA Cup champion Knicks will certainly be heard from come April.

F your dynasty

The stage was set for Oklahoma City this weekend: on a tear, bulldozing every team in the league, and practically yawning their way to a 24-1 record, they were poised to make that 25-1 on Saturday night in the NBA Cup semif-inals.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs had other plans. Wembanyama, the 7ft 5in french wunderkind who possesses an all too rare combination of zenmaster off-court tendencies with a healthy dose of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan-esque psycho on the hardwood, clearly took being a heavy underdog personally heading into Saturday’s semi-final matchup. The game marked his first appearance in several weeks due to a calf strain, and the Spurs, presumably due to Wembanyama’s minutes restriction, sat him out the entire first quarter.

The difference in the entire Spurs team as soon as Wembanyama checked into the game was staggering: it wasn’t just the renewed clarity of the offense, his unmatched defensive skill set, or his looming presence in the paint, which clearly spooked any Oklahoma player who dared to venture beyond the free throw line. It was the confidence: palpable, notable, and coursing throughout the entire Spurs roster. I remarked to the colleague sitting next to me during the contest that it felt like someone’s older brother had shown up to a fight at recess: suddenly chests were puffed out.

There was a moment in the second quarter of the Cup Championship where Wembanyama blocked four or five Knicks shot attempts at the rim in a row, and didn’t appear to even really break a sweat in the process. It’s hard to put a finger on what it is when it comes to the next face of the league, the next NBA superstar to carry the sport into the future. But whatever itis, Wembanyama has it in spades. It’s hard not to think about “greatest of all time” potential for the Frenchman if his body can cooperate, potential south-of-the-Mason-Dixon-line dynasties be damned.

The rise of the Cup

Although it has been met with mixed reactions from fans and NBA players alike (and evoked plenty of confusion from both), the NBA Cup is clearly starting to find its stride. I mentioned in my takeaways from this event last year that it inevitably takes time for something like this to matter. Gravity doesn’t form overnight, and while the merits of throwing a wrench into the rhythm of the NBA regular season are debatable, the event is clearly starting to carry some level of gravitas and cache: the proof is in the highly competitive games all weekend long. There were bodies colliding while diving for loose balls, roughly a million offensive rebounds, and nary a blowout. It took a couple of years (and a hefty investment from Amazon) but the cup is here to stay.

The Oklahoma City avalanche

While the formidable freight train that is the 2025-2026 Oklahoma City Thunder was eliminated in a nailbiter against l’étranger and company in the Cup semi-finals, the loss only sent them to a still-staggering 24-2 on the season: and much of that record was accomplished with their second option, Jalen Williams, cheering on the bench with a wrist injury.

There were plenty of flashes throughout the game that showed why they are still, NBA Cup champion-lessness notwithstanding, in a class completely their own in the league. For starters, the nearly un-guardable Shai Gilgeous-Alexander seems to be well on his way to a second consecutive league MVP award (and, potentially, a second consecutive Finals MVP, too). His whole offensive skill set was on full display in the Cup semi, from the gasp-inducing craftiness and control, to the slinky smooth footwork, to, yes, the foul grifting (one can hardly blame him when he’s so damned effective at it).

But the Thunder’s most impressive characteristic was their defense. It was, as always, swarming and overwhelming, tireless. I can’t imagine how demoralizing it must be to be on the receiving end of a flurry of steals and forced turnovers, looking up at a scoreboard that broadcasted a single digit deficit mere moments before, only to watch it swell to 12 or 13 in the blink of an eye. Oklahoma City is relentless: they keep coming, and they come in tidal waves. Just when you think it’s safe to go back in the water … the tenacious Thunder prove why you simply cannot catch your breath around them. Wembanyama and the Spurs certainly pulled off an impressive upset on Saturday night, but make no mistake: the Thunder should still strike the fear of God in every team.

Honorable mention: Keep an eye on the Magic

I couldn’t wrap up the weekend in Vegas without a quick shout out to the Orlando Magic, who are starting to really round into form as a formidable Eastern Conference dark horse. They had a gritty, impressive showing in the Cup semis, and Desmond Bane is finally starting to look worth the haul of draft picks he commanded.

Steve Kerr reveals why standout rookie Will Richard isn't in Warriors' rotation originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The Warriors’ rotation has been erratic in the first half of the 2025-26 NBA season, and a 13-14 record only brings more questions to how coach Steve Kerr is using his players.

Draymond Green was back in Golden State’s starting lineup for its 136-131 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday after a foot injury/excused absence, but his return was overshadowed by Stephen Curry’s historic 48-point performance. Will Richard, Jonathan Kuminga, and Seth Curry did not see any action on the court.

It was Richard’s second consecutive game without any minutes, and Kerr on Tuesday explained his decision to keep the rookie guard out of the rotation on 95.7 The Game’s “Willard & Dibs” show.

“Right now, frankly, he’s sitting because he’s a rookie and I’m honoring what the older guys have done over the years,” Kerr said. “I think that’s good for chemistry, I think this is kind of how it goes.”

"It's been tough not playing [Will Richard] because I'm a huge fan and a believer…Right now, frankly he's sitting because he's a rookie. I'm honoring what the older guys have done over the years."

— 95.7 The Game (@957thegame) December 17, 2025

The 22-year-old has averaged 8.0 points per game in 23 of 27 contests played so far and brings a youthful burst of energy to an otherwise aging core.

“It’s been tough not playing him because I’m a huge fan and a believer,” Kerr said. “He offers us stability and decision-making, good shooting, so he’s just got to stay with it.”

Kerr emphasized relying on veteran expertise now that the team has fallen below .500 and acknowledged that Richard has what it takes to be a starter possibly later in the season.

“Guys have to earn their stripes,” he noted. “You give everybody a fair look, and you continue on through the season so he could very easily find himself back in the rotation. He’s obviously a good-enough player.”

Kerr mentioned how he relayed that to Richard during Wednesday’s press conference at Chase Center.

“The great thing with Will is he gets it. I went to him last week, told him, I'm going to take him out of the rotation because we're getting healthy, and I want to play my vets and give everybody you know a look.”

Richard started four of the five games Curry missed with a quad injury and averaged 5.2 points in 22.0 minutes per game in that span. Since Curry returned to action on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kerr reiterated he only can shape so many lineup combinations around the 37-year-old star point guard.

“There are times where you can only play 10 or 11, three or four guys are out of the loop, right now it’s Jonathan, it’s Will, Gary Payton’s barely played the last couple games,” Kerr concluded.

The Warriors are set to face the Phoenix Suns twice in three days starting Thursday night at Chase Center. Yet, the question looms whether Kerr will have the same players start for each matchup.

Draymond Green addresses owner Joe Lacob's email to disgruntled Warriors fan originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Joe Lacob’s viral email response to a Warriors fan has become a momentous part of the team’s lackluster season so far. 

Will it spark a big personnel change? Should anyone in the organization be concerned? 

Draymond Green is not; he explained on his podcast “The Draymond Green Show.” The strong response from Golden State’s owner is nothing out of the ordinary to Green. 

“Joe is passionate as hell. You’re either going to love his passion or hate it,” Green noted. “Whether you love his passion or whether you hate it, the one thing you do know is the most important thing to Joe — and you’ll understand that at every step of the way — is winning… 

“… If you’re not winning, he’s pissed, and that’s just how Joe rolls.” 

Green chalks up the seemingly angry and earth-shattering response to Lacob’s passion. That same passion has fueled the Warriors’ success during his ownership, according to Green. 

“That’s who he is. That’s a large part of the reason this organization became winners; because you’re run by a winner,” Green explained. “So, it is what it is. No one from our organization is cracking from it. 

Just as coach Steve Kerr told reporters Tuesday, Green does not see Lacob’s response as a big deal.  

“When you’ve worked so long with someone, you know how they are; you know what makes them tick; you know what pisses them off,” Green said. “I don’t think any of us are sitting there like, ‘Oh, Joe said this.’ Like, quite honestly, Joe will say these things to your face, and that’s just who he is.” 

If what Green says is true, the locker room probably already has heard, in-person, some variation of what Lacob wrote in that e-mail. 

Kerr agreed in his press conference Tuesday that he shared Lacob’s frustration. Green acknowledged that as well. 

“[Lacob] should be frustrated; We’ve f—king sucked so far,” Green said. “It is frustrating, and we’ve got to figure it out and we will figure it out, I have zero doubts about that.” 

Sitting in eighth place in the Western Conference standings through 27 games, the Warriors have yet to figure it out.

Lacob, Kerr and the rest of the Warriors have 55 more regular season games to do so.

Steve Kerr hints Jonathan Kuminga is set to rejoin Warriors' rotation originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

SAN FRANCISCO – The next episode of the long-running soap opera depicting the estrangements and reconciliations of Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors was promoted Wednesday and is titled “Another Chance, Part XX.”

After three consecutive games in which Kuminga was healthy but reduced to spectating from the bench, coach Steve Kerr indicated after practice that the young forward will return to the floor Thursday night when the Warriors face the Suns in Phoenix.

“You definitely want to see how guys respond in practice,” Kerr said. “And I can tell you, JK, has been great this last week as he’s been out of the rotation. He’s working really hard, and I’m going to reward that.”

Kerr did not say whether Kuminga would start or come off the bench, but the latter seems more likely. The coach on Tuesday expressed a willingness to stay with a starting lineup featuring Stephen Curry, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler III, Draymond Green and Quinten Post.

The Warriors (13-14, eighth in the Western Conference) are coming off back-to-back losses in which they could not hold fourth-quarter leads, the most recent a 136-131 loss to the Trail Blazers on Sunday in Portland. One startling element of that game was the Blazers’ decisive advantage in athleticism and quickness, which surely stood out in the team’s video review.

Kuminga, 23, is the most athletic player on Golden State’s roster.

After starting the first 12 games of the season, Kuminga was sidelined with bilateral knee tendinitis and missed the next seven games. Upon his return Dec. 2, he came off the bench for two games but was ineffective, scoring 17 points on 7-of-22 shooting from the field, with 13 rebounds, three assists and five turnovers.

Reinstalled into the starting lineup Dec. 6 at Cleveland, Kuminga sputtered. He snagged seven rebounds but scored only four points on 1-of-10 shooting from the field and dropped out of Golden State’s rotation for the next three games.

The Warriors lost two of the three games. 

“He needs to be back out there,” Kerr said.

Though Kuminga remains very much in potential trade scenarios – he can’t be moved before Jan. 15 – the Warriors for now hope to get a return on their investment, as he signed a two-year contract worth $48.5 million during training camp.

OG Anunoby scored 28 points as the New York Knicks ended their 52-year trophy drought by beating the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Cup final.

The London-born forward finished with five three-pointers as the Knicks came from 11 points down in the third quarter to win 124-113 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Point guard Jalen Brunson, who was named the NBA Cup's Most Valuable Player, scored 25 points as the Knicks won the third edition of the mid-season tournament to claim their first silverware since winning the 1973 NBA Finals.

"We found a way to win," said Brunson. "That's going to be our motto going forward: we're going to find a way."

Mike Brown, who is in his first year as Knicks head coach, said: "Any time you can participate in an event where you're the last one standing and you're able to hang a banner, you take that seriously. And all of our guys took that seriously."

San Antonio upset top seeds and reigning NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder in Saturday's semi-finals thanks to a superb display from Victor Wembanyama.

In his second game after missing 12 straight matches with a calf injury, he was limited to 18 points and 25 minutes off the bench.

An emotional Wembanyama fought back tears at a brief post-game news conference, saying: "Sorry, I just lost somebody today."

Seven Knicks players reached double figures in points. Karl-Anthony Towns claimed 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Mitchell Robertson had 15 rebounds and two blocks from the bench.

Dylan Harper led the scoring for the Spurs with 21 points.

Victory was the Knicks' sixth in a row - and 10th in 11 games - although the final does not count towards the regular-season standings.

They are second in the Eastern Conference and the Spurs are fourth in the West.

• Why are there so few Brits in the NBA?

As trade winds continue to blow across the NBA, fantasy managers can also wheel-and-deal to
help their chances of winning a championship. Here are some players to consider buying low
on, selling high on or who are worth holding onto in fantasy at this time.

Buy

Paolo Banchero, Orlando Magic

Banchero recently missed 10 games with a groin injury. He jumped right back into the starting
lineup when he returned, but the Magic limited him to fewer than 25 minutes in each of his first
two games. He has seen his playing time increase in both games since, topping out at 35
minutes in Saturday's game against the Knicks. In that matchup, he produced 25 points, eight
rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Banchero's overall stats haven't been great this season. He is shooting just 26.6% from behind
the arc, which is down from 32.0% last season. His scoring is also down to 20.5 points per
game, compared to 25.9 last season. However, he is healthy now and should see his normal
allotment of minutes moving forward. His scoring production could increase, given that Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (hip) are both out. This might be a rare buy-low window for the
All-Star forward.

Jalen Duren, Detroit Pistons

Duren produced a disappointing stat line against the Celtics on Monday, posting six points and
three rebounds over 29 minutes. The only silver lining was that he had two steals and two
blocks. It marked the fourth time over his last five games that he has hauled in fewer than 10
rebounds. It was also his second game with fewer than 10 points during that span.

Even with Duren's recent struggles, he is averaging 18.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks
for the season. After shooting 66.9% from the free-throw line last season, he has shot 74.7%
from there this season. All his recent struggles might have done was create an opportunity to
acquire him in a trade at a slight discount.

Sell

Lauri Markkanen, Utah Jazz

Markkanen is having a fantastic season with averages of 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.9
three-pointers. After shooting just 42.3% from the field last season, he is at 46.9% through 24
games. He is also playing a lot, logging 35 minutes a game. The 28-year-old has a ton of talent
and is, without question, a top fantasy option when he is on the floor.

The last part of the above statement is key. Markkanen has missed only one game after playing
a total of just 102 games the previous two seasons. The Jazz are 10-15 and could turn to their
tanking ways again in the near future. Monday's game against the Mavericks was concerning
because they sat Jusuf Nurkic for rest and removed Svi Mykhailiuk from the starting lineup.
They were replaced by youngsters Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh. It might be best to
sell high on Markkanen now to avoid possible rest day issues down the stretch.

Jerami Grant, Portland Trail Blazers

Grant has started each of his last 13 games. In the role, he has averaged 22.1 points, 4.8
rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.0 three-pointers. After a disappointing 2024-25 campaign in which
he shot 37.3% from the field and 36.5% from three, he has shot 43.8% from the field and 39.5%
from behind the arc this season.

Grant was moved into the starting lineup when Jrue Holiday (calf) went down. He has missed a
month with the injury, and the Trail Blazers have not given any updates regarding his potential
return. However, when Holiday does come back, Grant could see fewer minutes and shot
attempts off the bench. Now is the time to float him out in trade offers.

Hold

Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics

The absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has set up Brown to have the best season of his
career. He hasn't disappointed those who drafted him, putting up 29.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.9
assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game. Not only has his usage rate increased to
36.2%, but he is shooting 50.0% from the field.

Even with Tatum out and the Celtics losing Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford during the
offseason, they are currently the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. They should remain
playoff contenders, so any potential of them taking a "gap year" and trying to improve their draft
lottery odds without Tatum has probably gone out the window. This is not a sell-high situation
with Brown. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Onyeka Okongwu, Atlanta Hawks

After the Hawks benched Clint Capela during last season, Okongwu thrived in a starting role.
Despite his success, the Hawks still added Kristaps Porzingis during the offseason. That left Okongwu to come off the bench to begin the season. Over his first 12 games, he averaged 13.4
points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers over 28 minutes a night.

Porzingis has since been in and out of the lineup with injuries and illness, opening the door for 
Okongwu to play 33 minutes over his last 14 games. During that span, he provided 18.4
points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers a game. It has
been reported that Porzingis is dealing with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
He has battled this before, and it could be something that impacts him throughout the season.
Okongwu should continue to play a lot moving forward, so don't view this as a sell-high
opportunity with him.

Jalen Brunson didn’t have his best scoring night on Tuesday, but it didn’t matter. 

The Knicks received contributions from up-and-down their bench as they pulled out a thrilling victory over the San Antonio Spurs to secure their first NBA Cup title. 

Brunson was named the tournament MVP, but he was sure to tip his cap to his teammates afterwards. 

“Without them, we don’t hold that trophy,” he said.  

It starts with OG Anunoby, who led the way offensively with a game-high 28 points. 

Anunoby also continued his stellar all-around play on the other end of the floor, reeling in nine rebounds and earning himself Defensive Player of the Game honors.

“The way he’s shooting the ball is fantastic,” Brunson said. He’s making plays and he has confidence -- when everyone is working on their game even in-season that confidence stays, so it’s a credit to him and what he’s been doing.”

It wasn’t just Anunoby, though, as big man Mitchell Robinson also stepped up with 18 outstanding minutes off the bench while Karl-Anthony Towns battled through some bruises. 

Robinson set an NBA Cup Final record with 10 offensive boards, and reeled in 15 in total. 

“That’s what Mitch does,” Towns said. “I knew playing against him just how much he impacts the game, to be his teammate now and to see what he does, he’s impacted the game how many times -- shoutout to Mitch, hell of a day at the office.” 

Jordan Clarkson had another strong scoring night with 15 big points off the bench, but it was youngster Tyler Kolek who took advantage of the opportunity the most and truly shined on the biggest stage. 

Kolek was leaned on heavily down the stretch and he finished with 14 points, five rebounds, five assists, and turned the ball over just once over his 20 minutes of action. 

It was arguably one of his most impressive at the NBA-level. 

“He played big-time, I’m very happy for him,” Brunson said. “It may be a surprise to a bunch of people, but many of you see how hard this kid works and I’m just very happy for him. The way he played tonight helped us for sure, we needed him.”

The hope is that this success in big minutes can help the rest of the way in the regular season. 

“In a game like this where it’s basically win or go home,” the captain said. “You have guys who step up and pick up the slack for a person like me who wasn’t shooting the ball well and made a terrible second-half turnover with the back-court. 

“It’s when those guys come in and do that, that gives us even more confidence. That excites me more than anything, the guys who come in and do that, it gives us an opportunity to win, it’s just a great feeling.”

While celebrations for an NBA Cup title stick in the craw of basketball purists, the Knicks need to dust off their trophy case and find room for a new piece of hardware.

The Knicks were crowned champions of the league's in-season tournament on Tuesday night, as they outlasted the Spurs, 124-113, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

By winning the finals matchup, Knicks players earned a cash prize of $530,933 each. Fans can also count on a banner being raised to the Madison Square Garden rafters -- head coach Mike Brown said as much before the game.

Here are the takeaways...

-- The incentive to compete was clear from the jump, as both teams played up-tempo and produced runs in a closely contested first quarter. After making three of the game's first four buckets, the Knicks allowed the Spurs to score nine unanswered points, and the heat-check also occurred without superstar Victor Wembanyama -- hecame off the bench midway through the opening period, under a minutes restriction. But the Knicks regrouped with help from OG Anunoby, who added 10 points on two-made threes. After one, the Spurs led by two, 30-28.

-- There was no change of pace in the second quarter. The Spurs kept their foot on the gas, extending their lead to seven at the halfway mark by forcing turnovers and spreading the floor in transition. They also saw De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle work as catalysts, contributing 15 combined assists. But the Knicks stayed in striking distance, cutting their deficit to one with 2:28 left in the half and knotting the score at 59-59 in the final minute. While the Spurs entered the break ahead by two, Anunoby flexed his muscles by adding another 10 points (20 total).

-- It took just two minutes of third-quarter action to notice an energy shift. The Spurs returned from the locker room with tenacity, orchestrating a quick 9-2 run that forced the Knicks to call timeout. By the halfway point, the Knicks' deficit reached double-digits, and to add injury to insult, Karl-Anthony Towns hurt his left leg after driving to the hoop on a contested layup. While the Knicks' star received treatment on the bench, Wembanyama took advantage of his limited time with the rock, finishing the quarter with 13 points (16 total). Still, the Knicks kept things tight, finishing the quarter on an 8-2 run to trim their deficit to 94-89.

-- The fourth quarter opened with a complete role reversal. Behind a pair of threes from Jordan Clarkson off the bench, the Knicks caught fire with eight unanswered points in 93 seconds that extended their run to 16-2, placed them ahead by three, and forced the Spurs to use a timeout. After the break, the Knicks stretched their lead to 104-97 on a three from Anunoby and a pair of jumpers from Jalen Brunson, who delivered a relatively quiet 23 points up until that point. With 4:49 remaining, Towns surprisingly checked back in after spending more than 10 minutes on the bench. The broadcast crew reported moments earlier that Towns had reaggravated a lingering calf issue.

-- Josh Hart gave the Knicks their largest lead of the night with 2:58 left, draining a three with a noticeable limp from the left wing to push the score to 115-107. Then, after a three from Harper that cut the Spurs' deficit to five, Anunoby took charge again with a corner three that widened the margin back to eight. The momentum swing placed the Spurs in a closing-minutes hole they simply couldn't climb out of, and when the final buzzer sounded, the Knicks were crowned winners of the third NBA Cup.

-- From start to finish, the pace was intense. Both teams combined for 204 shots, and the Knicks made just one more three (15) than the Spurs (14). The difference was seen on the boards, as the Knicks out-rebounded the Spurs, 59-42, and scored 12 more points in the paint. The Knicks' leader on the glass was Mitchell Robinson, who racked up 15 boards in 18 minutes. Towns wound up playing 30 minutes, adding 16 points. The early fourth-quarter swing gave the Knicks a jolt -- they outscored the Spurs, 35-19, during the 12-minute stretch.

Game MVP: OG Anunoby

Anunoby found a groove early and never gave it up. He finished with a game-high 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting with eight rebounds and three assists. It was Brunson who earned NBA Cup MVP honors, however -- he scored 25 on 11-of-27 shooting with eight assists and four boards.

Up next

The Knicks (18-7) will resume regular-season play on Thursday night, with a road matchup against the Indiana Pacers (7 p.m. tip-off).
