The Sixers just announced that Jared McCain suffered a UCL tear in his right thumb during a workout today. The team says they and McCain "are consulting with specialists on next steps."

Thank you, @altajournal.bsky.social for the very kind shoutout! www.altaonline.com/books/a65884...

The 1st episode of the pod is about Tom Brady and Kawhi Leonard, and how they're impacting the leagues they are in. My guest is @yaronweitzman.bsky.social We talk about how Brady is an example of a larger problem to come for leagues. And the NBA's acute issue with Kawhi. youtu.be/_XLcVV35Lps?...

I’m proud to say that even people who apparently hate me love my new book

I sent @billoram.bsky.social an advance copy of A HOLLYWOOD ENDING. He called it "A must-read." (He's very kind). The book comes out OCT. 21, but you can pre-order it now! Link: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

Absolutely LOVED this story from @zhelfand.bsky.social on the New Yorker's fact-checking department. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

There are so many incredible stories in @yaronweitzman.bsky.social’s new book, but I may have lol’d most so far at Dwight Howard ordering sage to the bubble online, “which he lit in the hallway to encourage good vibes (it set off the hotel fire alarm)” www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

Very excited to dive into this one from @peteramescarlin.bsky.social! a.co/d/0utNct2

Got my copy of the new Lakers and LeBron book by @yaronweitzman.bsky.social. I've read it and let me assure you that it is good! Great insight into the Lakers, LeBron and how the NBA actually works Get it here www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

"Weitzman cinematically portrays the high-stakes drama behind the pairing of a living legend and an iconic sports team. This is a must-read for pro hoops fans." Thank you, @publisherswkly.bsky.social! www.publishersweekly.com/9780385550222

Nets taking two Jews back to back. And you thought Kyrie hated them before

The Nets front office is celebrating its picks more than the Thunder players celebrated the title.

Poole on a team that just traded away its upcoming first round pick is an incredible combo

Has a team coming off this bad of a season ever given away a future unprotected first round pick like this? Shoutout Joe Dumars!

This Knueppel family has to be running some sort of ruse right these names and haircuts cant all be real

I don't know what the answer is—and I know this stuff gets very complicated—but I do think some sort of calendar change that keeps offseason business from taking place during the playoffs and finals would be really good for the NBA.

Kids are watching Sandlot (for like the 20th time) and let me tell you, watching Smalls' mom basically call him a no-friends loser at the beginning of the movie never gets old

So I've spent the past three years working with the awesome folks @doubledaybooks.bsky.social on a new book, this one on the LeBron-era Lakers. It comes out October 21 and is now available for pre-order: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736427...

How is a halftime injury update attributed to "sources tell me" come on lol.

"The United States is experiencing its worst surge of anti-Jewish hate in many decades....Alarmingly, the antisemitic rhetoric of both the political right and the left has filtered into justifications for violence" www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/o...

"Israel exists as it does today because of the repeated choices made by societies to reject their Jews. Had these societies made different choices, Jews would still live in them, and Israel likely would not exist..." (via @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social ) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Thought @sbondynba.bsky.social nailed it with this column. I know Thibs can grind on people, but the ability to only care about and focus on winning the next game is a skill that, I believe, helps when coaching in New York and for an org like the Knicks nypost.com/2025/06/11/s...

Some pre-Game 3 reading at Y! Sports (2/2): • Me on OKC's pick-and-roll counterpunch: yhoo.it/43A8HYW • @yaronweitzman.bsky.social on Alex Caruso, more than an agent of chaos: yhoo.it/4eiHgqt • Me on Pascal Siakam and the battle in the paint: yhoo.it/4jJscTK

Great story on the Thunder's chaos maker. Definitely did not expect to learn that Alex Caruso was playing with a bunch of random guys in their 30s and 40s while he was in middle school.

When Mark Daigneault had Alex Caruso in the G-League, he'd compare his style to Brett Favre. Now he describes him as a calming influence "always doing the right thing." Wrote about Caruso's evolution into a "GOAT" role player, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

“I think when you use the word ‘chaos,’ it’s for the other team. For us, I’m trying to be settling and create a rhythm and flow." Wrote about Alex Caruso's journey from 'Brett Favre' to 'GOAT' role player, for @yahoosports.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

This is am awesome look at what actually makes Anthony Edwards great, from @michaelvpina.bsky.social theringer.com/2025/05/28/n...

I think Josh Hart has given up like 42 points by freelancing off the ball

I’d love to see the stats but feels like Knicks have been awesome on baseline out of bounds plays throughout the playoffs

Knicks going from the Pistons and Celtics wars to this is hilarious

Wild state on KAT via @jonathanmacri.bsky.social: "His next postseason assist on a drive will be his first. His 16.2 pass percentage on playoff drives is the lowest figure of any NBA player with at least 40 such plays." knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/top-10-que...

Can't wait for the Mavs to trade the top pick for someone that better fits the AD-Kyrie timeline

Also hilarious that the Knicks are the healthiest team in the East right now

I'm sure there are numbers that say Celtics missed a bunch of open shots, but to me last night felt different than Game 1. Was a vintage Thibs Team defensive performance. Prepared, physical, arms and bodies everywhere, relentless, making the opponent work for everything.

Wait, I'm sorry what. Really smart story by @yaronweitzman.bsky.social on how Jeff Van Gundy has been integral to the Clippers this season, but also he's ordering what for breakfast? sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

Someone needs to investigate if Dame committed voter fraud

They need to create an NBA TV The Ocho just for Grizz playoff games

The Hawks have announced that they have hired Sportsology to run their search for a new GM. If you want to learn more about the firm, I profiled its "executive chairman," Mike Forde, a few years ago for @theringer.com.web.brid.gy: www.theringer.com/2021/04/14/n...
