Danny Cunningham: #Cavs beat the Pacers 127-117 to move to 34-5 on the season. Nice bounce back win after a clunker on Sunday. Donovan Mitchell had 35 points, Darius Garland had 24 and Evan Mobley had 22 and 13 rebounds. Another showdown with OKC looms on Thursday ..read more

So many fans were disappointed last Friday when the Warriors were in town for their annual visit and star guard Steph Curry did not play. He was ruled out hours before the game with knee injury management despite playing 36 minutes the night before ..read more

What didn’t surprise me, however, was Curry finding a way to make up for it — at least for a small group. Some players would have hung out back in the locker room during the game. Curry did not. And before the game, Curry made good use of the time he ordinarily spends warming up on the court in front of, no exaggeration, thousands. He made a special core memory for at least a dozen kids.

“I feel like at Belmont, I went through the same thing, kinda the same progression, just going from someone who didn’t play into someone who’s a role player,” Sheppard said. “I think I’m good at doing what’s asked of me and playing my role. It’s been good. Playing basketball for a living is pretty cool, so at the end of the day, you’ve just got to be grateful for your opportunities and make the most of ’em. I don’t know if I have a specific goal, but just make big strides each year I’m in the league. Just keep progressing ..read more

RG asked Rick Carlisle before the 2024-25 campaign whether or not Sheppard’s experience earned him a permanent spot in Indiana’s rotation. “Everything’s on the table,” Carlisle said. “We’ve got a roster full of young guys that can play. I know one thing for sure – when an opportunity arises, he will be ready because that’s who he is ..read more
