This year’s Christmas NBA schedule features five games, including two highly-anticipated matchups that could serve as conference finals previews.

The Warriors’ rough start to the season got worse when Steph Curry suffered a broken left hand in a collision with Suns center Aron Baynes.

A highly anticipated matchup between two of the NBA’s premier big men ended with punches and Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns ejected.

Boxer Patrick Day, 27, died on Wednesday after being knocked out against Charles Conwell on Saturday. He had surgery and had been in a coma.

After he and Kawhi Leonard were introduced as the newest members of the Clippers, Paul George said the LA natives were “supposed to play together.”

A man allegedly left two voicemails in which he made threats against general manager Sam Presti, coach Billy Donovan and the Thunder front office.

Oklahoma City is staring at a potential rebuild that could necessitate trading the face of the franchise. Where might Russell Westbrook end up?
