NBA

The Clippers and Chris Paul have officially called it quits ... ’cause they shipped out the future Hall of Famer in a three-team trade that might not even be his final stop.

The Clippers, Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets pulled off the deal Wednesday, with CP3 landing in Toronto as part of the roster shakeup. The Nets scored Ochai Agbaji, a 2032 second-round pick and cash, while the Clippers walked away with draft rights to international guard Vanja Marinković.

Jaxson Hayes found himself in a bizarre beef with a giant bird -- and the NBA just ruled in the mascot’s favor.

The league announced Wednesday that Hayes has been suspended one game without pay for shoving the Wizards’ costumed character, G-Wiz, in pregame introductions before the Lakers’ 142-111 win on Jan. 30 in D.C.

Video of the bizarre moment shows Hayes decking the mascot to the floor while the character was exiting the court -- a move the league clearly didn’t find funny.

G-Wiz wasn’t injured in the scuffle, according to a report by The Athletic ... but the NBA still ruled the behavior crossed the line and slapped Hayes with the punishment anyway.

Noah Vonleh's war with his former sports agency appears to be over -- and the ex-NBA lottery pick didn't get the W.

Pensack Sports scored the final bucket in a multi-year fight with the 30-year-old hooper over agent fees tied to his overseas basketball contracts.

The agency first hauled Vonleh into arbitration in 2023 ... claiming he stiffed them on commissions from deals he signed while playing in China.

A year and two days after Anthony Davis was sent to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic in one of the most shocking trades in NBA history ... the Brow is on the move again -- getting dealt to the Washington Wizards in another deal.

According to Shams Charania, Davis is among the three players being sent to D.C. -- with D'Angelo Russell, Dante Exum and Jaden Hardy also being thrown in the move. In exchange, the Wizards are sending Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley, two first-round picks and three second-rounders to Dallas.

Davis played his last game for the Mavericks last month, putting up 21 points in 35 minutes in a 116-114 loss to the Utah Jazz. He ended up playing 29 games for the Mavs ... averaging 20.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 10.8 rebounds.

Draymond Green is staring down trade rumors head-on ... and instead of throwing punches, he's throwing gratitude.

The four-time NBA champ got brutally honest after the Warriors' 113-94 loss on Tuesday to the 76ers when asked about speculation he could be moved before Thursday's trade deadline.

"I've been here for 13-and-a-half years," Green said. "That's longer than probably 98% of NBA players have been in one place. I don’t know if it ends ... but what a f***ing run it’s been. I'll take the fine for it. What a f***ing run it’s been."

Terry Rozier might be in the middle of a huge gambling scandal, but he's still getting paid -- an arbitrator ruled in his favor in a fight with the NBA ... allowing him to collect his $26.6 million salary.

The ruling was announced on Monday ... months after Rozier was arrested as part of a federal investigation.

Despite the ongoing case, Rozier is set to make $26.6 million this season -- $25M of that guaranteed ... and his lawyer, Jim Trusty, told Front Office Sports that his client won based on contract law and the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NBA and players, adding that "the bigger principle at issue is the presumption of innocence."

Derek Fisher isn’t predicting a Ja Morant trade before next week’s deadline ... but if it happens, he says buckle up.

TMZ Sports caught up with the five-time NBA champion at LAX recently and asked him about the possibility of the Memphis Grizzlies trading their dynamic star.

Fisher weighed in on the rumors ... admitting there’s no obvious landing spot if Morant is moved -- but stressed that being traded is something even the game’s greats have had to endure.

The NBA has suspended Philadelphia 76ers power forward Paul George for 25 games for violating the league's anti-drug program, the NBA announced Saturday.

His suspension begins immediately and will bench him for Saturday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

George said the situation is a big mix-up in a statement to ESPN, but is taking full responsibility for the error. He explained ... "Over the past few years, I’ve discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication."

Klay Thompson's relationship with Megan Thee Stallion got a big stamp of approval on Friday, 'cause his ex-NBA pops says the rapper is a "very nice lady" -- and one hell of a cook!!

The cams caught up with the two-time NBA champion Friday ... and he couldn't help but sing the praises of MTS and her chef skills.

Of course ... we asked what one of her great dishes was -- with Thompson shouting out her barbecue baked beans.

Allen Iverson's visit with a group of sick children in Australia went anything but smoothly -- it was reportedly a disaster -- and we may now know why ... jet lag.

A.I. faced criticism this week after he was accused of disappointing a group of 12 kids courageously battling cancer in Australia, who were set to spend some time with the NBA legend, where he was expected to sign autographs, take photos, and have fun with the kids.

But, listening to some people who were there, that's not exactly how things went down. More, Australia's 10 News aired some video of the meet-and-greet, and he appears sluggish, showing little enthusiasm.

Here's hoping Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu has a good dental plan ... 'cause the big man took an elbow to the face Wednesday night during the team's clash with the Celtics, leading to his teeth getting knocked out!

It all went down during the fourth quarter of the Hawks' 117-106 win over the Celts. As Jaylen Brown attempted to keep the ball away from Okongwu, his elbow connected with the right side of his face, drawing a flagrant foul.

When he stepped to the free-throw line ... you saw the full extent of the damage to his money maker.

LeBron James’ homecoming hit different Wednesday night … and it might’ve been a final bow.

After the Lakers got smacked 129-99 by the Cavaliers in Cleveland, James didn’t sound like a guy planning many more trips back to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The 41-year-old flat-out admitted the thought crossed his mind that this “very well could be” his last game ever in The Land.

And yeah, it showed.

Lamar Odom is getting professional help -- TMZ Sports is told the NBA champion checked into rehab after his recent DUI arrest.

Odom entered a 30-day treatment program at the iRely Recovery facility in Los Angeles ... after his run-in with police sparked some triggers from his past that he wanted to address.

The former Lakers star is looking to shake marijuana  ... as he was afraid his smoking could lead to doing hard drugs again, his manager, Gina Rodriguez, told us.

Tuesday night in the NBA looked more like Fight Night ... with players in not one, but two games getting feisty on the hardwood, with one hooper having to be restrained all the way through the tunnel to the locker room!

The first scrap of the evening involved the reigning NBA champs (and '26 frontrunners), the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were playing the New Orleans Pelicans. Immediately after the final buzzer sounded ... OKC's Lu Dort and New Orleans' Jeremiah Fears got into a benches-clearing skirmish, where Dort put up a fist as the two were grabbing each other's jerseys.

Once they were able to separate the two players, members of the Pelicans staff had to hold Fears all the way back to the locker room, with Zion Williamson seemingly looking to catch up and calm him down.

Kevin Durant is well aware of the countless social media posts about his dry skin ... but the joke's on the haters behind the tweets -- 'cause he's laughing to the bank!!

The Houston Rockets superstar sat in front of a camera and read some mean posts ... while providing some classic clap-backs in the process.

KD gave props to the funny and creative jabs ... but he came out on top overall -- since the whole clip was part of an ad with CeraVe.

A  moment of silence for Alex Pretti was held at the Minnesota Timberwolves' home game on Sunday -- and as soon as it ended, some fans in attendance used it as an opportunity to shout "F*** ICE" for all to hear.

As we previously reported, the Wolves' matchup with the Golden State Warriors was postponed following Pretti's death to "prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community" amid all the unrest that followed the fatal incident.

When the two teams took the court a day later, tensions were clearly still high. In a recorded video of the tribute, multiple people are heard voicing their opposition to ICE.

That wasn't the only moment during the game that had people talking. During a break in the action ... the Target Center put on a dunk show with the fans ... with the dunkers wearing "ICE OUT" t-shirts.
