Bradley Beal Suffers Ankle Injury!

By on

        This season has not gone so well for Bradley Beal. Beal was traded to the Phoenix Suns this past offseason after his eleven year tenure on the Washington Wizards. During his time in Washington Beal was named to the All-Rookie First Team in 2013, All-NBA Third Team in 2021 and was a three-time All-Star. Beal is second on the Wizards' all-time leading scorer list. Beal was traded to Phoenix, joining Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, in hopes of competing for a championship but things have not gone so well for Beal. 



        Beal has missed most of the beginning of the season due to back spasms. He did make his season/Suns debut on November 8th against the Chicago Bulls but since then he has been in and out of the lineup. It took twenty-four games into the season for the Suns Big 3 of Beal, Durant and Booker to share the court together, which they did against the Brooklyn Nets. However the very next game against the New York Knicks, worst case scenario happened and Bradley Beal injured his ankle. Beal would leave the game and not return. 



        It was just recently reported by Shams Charania that Bradley Beal is likely to miss several weeks with his right ankle injury. The good news is that Beal's testing showed no major ankle damage, but it's another setback for Beal. The Phoenix Suns currently have a record of 14-12 and are the 10th seed in the Western Conference. The Suns have shown some struggles on the defensive end, especially in their last game against the Knicks where Jalen Brunson scored fifty points. The Suns have a lot to overcome but it's next man up or else their season is on life support.

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
