Dwight Howard Not With Team On Road Trip

The Washington Wizards begin a five-game road trip on Monday against the Trail Blazers, but center Dwight Howard (glute) did not travel with the team.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner scored 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting in Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He also added eight rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block.

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored eight points on 4-for-7 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Angels Hire Brad Ausmus as Manager

The Los Angeles Angels have announced Brad Ausmus as their new manager. Ausmus was an 18-year veteran backstop (similar to Mike Scioscia) and previously managed the Detroit Tigers, who went 314-332 under his tutelage. Known for his analytical approach, this should have a fairly substantial impact on the Angels approach at the plate and on […]

Nikola Jokic With The Perfect Night

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic went off as he put together a massive triple-double, as he did not miss from the field with his club beating the Phoenix Suns.
