Harrison Barnes fell into Jalen Brunson’s right knee and now Brunson is headed to the locker room

Potential nightmare scenario for the Knicks

The NBA Finals is also a Big East reunion as five of the 10 starters are alumni of the conference and six are in action.

Some thoughts on guys who made their mark at MSG in college now looking to do the same again, this time for a world championship:

For all my American Basketball Fans…

I give you college basketball team comparisons for ALL 48 TEAMS at the World Cup ⚽️🏀

The NBA Finals between the Spurs and Knicks tip-off tonight, so it seems right to highlight a #DMV product X-Factor for the Knicks in Josh Hart.

Hart did a little bit of everything in the ECF and is a key piece in New York’s finals run.

A game developed in the DC area, highlighted by his time @SidwellMBB and eventually on to championship-level play at the NCAA level for @NovaMBB .

The success of the Knicks in their series against San Antonio will require Hart’s versatility and it should be a fun series all around.

Shakira Austin on Mystics toughness and playing through early physicality in their 90-72 win over the Chicago Sky.

[District of Buckets @BucketsDistrict]

Mystics toughness showing tonight.

The story often focuses on how young the team is, so their physicality, especially against more experienced teams, can get overlooked.

Mystics up 81-62 with 4:11 left in the 4th and “Rori” chants have broken out

It's the most minutes for any college player in a 4-year span across all NCAA divisions since Washington's Kelsey Plum from 2013-17.
