The delay on Isaiah Thomas’ return to the court will continue indefinitely, and it’s not without some brushback from the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard. Thomas has yet to make his debut since being traded from the Boston Celtics over the summer, and his timetable for return often has been up in the air as he’s rehabbed a hip injury. At one point, however, signs were pointing towards a potential return by the end of the calendar year. But on Wednesday, the 28-year-old was ruled out in the Cavs; loss to the Sacramento Kings. And he reportedly wasn’t too happy about it. After getting scratched, signs thereafter pointed toward a re... NESN.com

NFL Rumors: Sam Darnold Could Return To USC If Browns Get No. 1 Pick
The Cleveland Browns still are in search of a franchise quarterback. But Sam Darnold reportedly doesn’t want to be it. The USC quarterback is expected by many to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, but there’s a possibility that the redshirt sophomore could return to the Trojans for another season. Darnold, who has been underwhelming during the 2017 season, reportedly will decide whether or not to return to school based on which teams land atop the draft board, according to The Monday Morning Quarterback’s Albert Breer (via Nick Camino of WTAM in Cleveland). If Cleveland gets the top pick then Darnold reportedly could head back to ... NESN.com
Elandon Roberts’ Rib Injury From Patriots-Texans Reportedly Not Serious
Elandon Roberts seemed to be in serious pain Saturday night, but it appears the New England Patriots linebacker avoided serious injury. Roberts suffered a rib injury in the third quarter of New England’s preseason game against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium and was carted off the field. The Patriots reportedly got a positive update on Roberts on Sunday, though, as X-rays on his ribs came back negative, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. Rib injuries can be very painful even if there’s no structural damage, which would explain why Roberts didn’t return to Saturday’s game. It’s unclear how much time the 23-year-old linebacker will miss... NESN.com
NBA Rumors: Carmelo Anthony Blocking Kyrie Irving’s Path To Knicks
Kyrie Irving would like to “come home,” that much as been made clear. But Carmelo Anthony could be keeping the star guard from his desired destination. The Cleveland Cavaliers star reportedly requested to be traded in order to get out of LeBron James’ shadow, and one of his preferred destinations is the New York Knicks. But any deal with the Knicks almost certainly would involve Anthony, and the 33-year-old star has another idea in mind. ESPN’s Ian Begley reported Wednesday, citing league sources, that Irving being sent to the Knicks is “unlikely” because Anthony is set on joining the Houston Rockets instead of the Cavs. “He...

Stephen A. Smith Claims LeBron James ‘Tempted to Beat’ Kyrie Irving’s ‘Ass’
Share this: To say the relationship between Cleveland Cavaliers superstars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving is not good might be an understatement. James reportedly was “blindsided” by Irving’s recent trade request, and a report Monday said the four-time NBA MVP is “eager” for him to be dealt to another team after the Cavs came to a reported agreement with veteran point guard Derrick Rose. Well, Stephen A. Smith said Monday on the “Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast that, citing sources close to James’ camp, “if Kyrie Irving was in front of LeBron James right now, LeBron James would be tempted to beat his ass.” Smith added: “Let me explain why. I want to make sure this is in context. LeBron James’ beef with Kyrie has
NBA Rumors: LeBron James Won’t Get Involved In Kyrie Irving Trade Situation
Share this: People make plenty of jokes about how LeBron James actually runs the Cleveland Cavaliers, but word is the King is going to let the front office deal with the team’s latest big decision. Star point guard Kyrie Irving reportedly wants to be traded out of Cleveland, and ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, citing NBA sources, reported Friday that Irving met with Cavs management first and told his teammates about his feelings later. And James allegedly won’t get any more involved than that. “As the Cavs consider their options, sources said James has expressed to the team that he is focused on his offseason workout regimen and is planning to report to training camp with the intention of leading his teammates to a fourth
