Gambling. Racism. Gambling again. And now, alleged salary cap circumvention by the Clippers. When the NBA has problems of this magnitude, it calls the same law firm. W @MikeVorkunov @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7041653… via @NYTimes
New tonight out of New York: Knicks coaches didn’t get rings on ring night. And that’s not the only jewelry related affront to some MSG employees, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7715834…
The biggest comeback of LeBron’s career and another massive blown lead for Cleveland. Crazy, historic night in Philadelphia, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7715836…
Ring night for the New York Knicks went as James Dolan intended. Game 1 of the title defense, did not. The Sixers’ experiment was the disrupter @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7709039…
On ring night in New York, even Jason the jeweler has a Knicks story and personal connection to the team, beyond designing the franchise's first championship ring in 53 years, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7709039…
The NBA’s labor agreement with players goes til 2030, with a 29 opt out, which has to be triggered in 28. That’s…a long time. So why is the players’ union already preparing for a work stoppage? @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7695703…
Diplomacy and dominance: The NBA is moving ahead in Europe with criticisms of EuroLeague’s model and an open hand for further negotiations, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7671613…
The EuroLeague told Adam Silver ‘no’ on NBA Europe, but the rejection isn’t permanent and Silver’s league will come online, anyway. But where, when, and with whom are questions, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7665371…
This was so good, @ByJasonLloyd … as an aide my man is QUICKLY becoming a national force in sports opinion/editorial
From @TheAthletic: The memory of Kobe Bryant's death lingers as LeBron James uses helicopters to get to 76ers practices. "Somewhere below, on a thousand glowing phones, strangers were begging him," our columnist writes. "Take the car. Please. Why risk it?" nyti.ms/4y2oc82

The NBA is moving toward agreements with a number of European soccer powerhouses to help stand up a new, continental basketball league in the Old Country, four sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations told The Athletic.

The NBA and European soccer powerhouses are inching closer to standing up a new league. The proof is in the invites, with @mjshrimper @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7644265…

Angry words, taunts, and mockery are nothing new in the U.S. Congress these days, but rarely does such vitriol stem from a senator mixing up “Hawks” with “Hawkeyes” while grilling a witness who watched a Caitlin Clark game a few years ago.

Fights, taunts, and mockery is nothing new to Congress these days. But over "Hawks" or "Hawkeyes" and "Caitlin" or "Steph"? That's what happened Tuesday in the Senate, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7643942…
Jaylen Brown can ‘next question’ all he likes. Along with the 76ers’ historic talent comes huge, combustible personalities with histories of spilling into each other’s lanes. @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7640921…
Jaylen Brown and the Celtics broke up a while ago. Monday was about each of them, once and for all, moving on from the summer's blockbuster trade, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7640377…
At the outset of Year 24, LeBron James is no longer contemplating retirement as something that is imminent @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7640118…

The NBA is looking into a potential cap-circumvention violation by the Milwaukee Bucks and Gary Trent Jr., who inked a four-year, $64 million guaranteed contract in July that raised the league’s suspicions.
@joevardon with more:

The ‘other’ NBA salary cap circumvention case is ongoing. The league hired a law firm (not that one) to see if the Bucks and Gary Trent Jr. cheated. Everyone is cooperating. How does this one compare to past NBA cap cheating inquires? @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7621957…
