In the league this season, Krafth has made four appearances, all from…

Despite dropping three of their four games during their west coast swing, the Rangers were still able to hold the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. Like the mountains they flew over on their way from city to city, and like the past seven weeks had been, it was rugged and hard. The Blueshirts’ sad end to the season’s final lengthy road trip came Tuesday night when they lost 3-2 in overtime to the basement-dwelling Sharks, despite blowing a two-goal lead enroute a routine victory. “We didn’t do that, but we wanted to finish this road trip strong,” stated Adam…

With Nate Bjorkgren getting fired after one season with the Pacers and Chris Finch turning the Timberwolves into arguably the favorites in the Western Conference, Griffin was going to be the tiebreaker in the great debate over Nurse assistants and their viability as head coaches. Griffin could not have been…

The Chicago Bears are entering a good cap situation, but with much of the offensive staff out and some shuffling to be expected — not to mention a big decision regarding quarterback Justin Fields — Chicago may look for more room. That could lead to…

That’s raised questions about the future of guard Dennis Schroder, who signed with the team in the summer. And with the trade deadline approaching, the Los Angeles Lakers could be interested in reuniting with the German. They’ve also shown an interest in Brown since last summer. The Toronto Raptors have two players on their roster the Lakers have interest in as well, sources said: Dennis…
