About 24 hours after Hanna Cavinder posted on social media that she is returning to the Miami basketball program, her sister Haley stated the same on Thursday. Haley initially announced she would play her final season of college basketball at TCU during the 2024–25 season after taking 2023–24 off. Haley reportedly wanted to play in 2023–24, but Hanna was burned out and was finished with basketball after that season. Haley was the more productive player for Miami during their one season with the Hurricanes in 2023–24. Miami advanced to the only Elite Eight in program history, with the Cavinder contributing…

Hanna Cavinder announced on X that she is returning to the Miami basketball program after taking off the 2023-24 season. Cavinder provides Miami with an experienced and productive guard to a roster that has lost multiple players to the transfer portal. Cavinder was a key reserve on the 2023 Miami run to the Elite Eight. In her one season with Miami, Cavidner averaged 3.8 points per game, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists, while shooting 36.8 percent from the floor, 30.7 percent on three-point attempts and 82.6 percent from the free throw line.

LeBron James and company have advanced to the playoffs, following their victory over the Pelicans in the Play-In tournament. The Lakers are set to face Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in the first round. This will also be a rematch of last year’s Conference Finals. While the reigning champs have done pretty well this season, there is a lot of optimism around the Lakers to take the series. The same comes after their dominant run at the end of the regular season. The Lakers went from the 9th seed to the 7th seed, winning most of their games following the…
While the Los Angeles Lakers continue their playoff run, the summer awaits for their next big move. The hope is that the team can come away with another deep run and maybe even a title but there are upgrades to be made over the offseason. Los Angeles has been rumored to be looking into bringing another star to town to pair with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, something they’ve wanted for a long time. The name that has gained the most traction is Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young, who could very well be on the move this summer. Young…
NBA award voters have long given Anthony Davis the short end of the stick when it comes to Defensive Player of the Year, but Sunday might have been a new low even then. In a change from recent seasons, the league announced three finalists for each of the seven major awards, including Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY). While it was already a longshot for AD to be named winner, the shock came in him not even being named a finalist. Rudy Gobert, the presumptive winner, Victor Wembanyama and Bam Adebayo were named the finalists, leaving AD on the outside…
Is it possible slugging superstars Pete Alonso of the Mets and Juan Soto of the Yankees trade places this winter? While the most probable scenario has one or both star free agents staying put, the possibility of the mega-stars swapping teams shouldn’t be considered completely fanciful. We’ve long heard the Mets may well go for Soto, especially if things don’t come together quickly with Alonso. And if the Mets do sign Soto, Alonso becomes the logical fallback option for the Yankees, especially since even team owner Steve Cohen probably won’t sign both in his 110 percent tax situation. And under those…
LEXINGTON — The expectation for any five-star prospect who signs with Kentucky is that his stay with the program will be brief. One stellar season, then on to the NBA draft — more likely than not, in the lottery; at the least, in the first round. That was the thinking surrounding UK freshman big man Aaron Bradshaw, the No. 4 overall player in the 2023 class (per the 247Sports Composite) and widely considered the prospect with arguably the highest ceiling, and most potential, of any collegian. That thinking has gone awry so far. A foot injury sidelined Bradshaw during UK’s trip…
BOSTON — There haven’t been too many concerns with the Boston Celtics, as they’ve raced off to a 5-1 start to the new season. But now that there is a “one” in the loss column, it’s safe to point out one aspect of the team that was worrisome even as the Celtics ripped off five straight wins to begin the campaign. There were a handful of issues that led to Monday night’s loss to the Timberwolves. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown played way too much ISO ball late as the ball movement dried up against Minnesota’s solid defense. Ball movement…
