Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic picked up his 16th technical foul of the season on Sunday and now faces a one-game suspension. Unless the NBA office rescinds the technical, Doncic will be forced to sit out the team’s game on Monday night against the Indiana Pacers. Doncic had been chirping...

Luka Doncic finished with 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists just hours after his most recent technical foul and one-game suspension were rescinded Monday by the NBA and led the Dallas Mavericks past the Indiana Pacers 127-104. Doncic had picked up his 16th technical that was rescinded...

Current position: 11th Season win/loss record: 37-40 If there had to be one team to miss out, you would not have predicted it to be the one with an offense headlined by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. But you can have the best backcourt in the world and still suffer defeat after defeat if your...

Current position: 10th Season win/loss record: 38-39 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deserves a place in the playoff conversation, just as he deserved a place in the All-Star roster. He made it to the latter with impressive ease, but the former might take more elbow grease. The Thunder have a...

Current position: 6th Season win/loss record: 40-37 The Warriors have hardly been a picture of consistency this season. They keep bouncing from 6th to 7th, down to 8th, and then back up - a telling sign of just how competitive the latter portion of the playoff race is proving to be. They'll...

Current position: 5th Season win/loss record: 41-36 The Clippers are currently 5th seed, and most are projecting them to hold on to a playoff spot despite Paul George's injury status. Their star guard will be missing for at least the remainder of the regular season as he nurses himself back...

Kevin Durant's back, the 4th seed seems to be locked down, and the future is looking bright for the Phoenix Suns, at the very least from owner Mat Ishbia's perspective. The man he flew in from New York in the early hours of February's trade deadline is back on the court and showing exactly what...

There are two weeks left in the season, with countless possibilities surrounding the NBA Western Conference playoff seedings; the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings have all secured their position, but there are still five spots up for grabs. Who will claim them? There are...

"I've had to push myself as an athlete. "In terms of the way I handle defeats, I've definitely learnt - well, we'll figure that out if that happens again. But I'll try and do better in future, for sure." Joshua added: "It's just good to be getting back on the gravy train, getting focused and...
