The extension Ja Morant signed last summer would have been worth an additional $39 million over the next five seasons had he been selected to a 2022-23 All-NBA team. Memphis Grizzlies’ star Ja Morant was suspended without pay for eight games earlier this season for “conduct detrimental to the league” after he was seen holding a gun on a livestream video. That off-the-court decision only cost Morant around $1.5 million of his 2022-23 salary, but it might have indirectly cost him much more over the course of his next contract. The extension Morant signed with the Grizzlies last summer was worth at…

Cats are famous for their independent and aloof nature, but a new study has revealed the way to the heart of even the most standoffish feline. Scientists from the Paris Nanterre University sat in a ‘cat cafe’, where kitties roam freely and can approach customers, to test out different ways of winning them over. They found that cats responded most quickly to human strangers when they offered vocal and visual cues together, like calling their name while reaching out their hand. But when the human ignored the animals completely, they were more likely to wag their tail – a sign…

Curry had a big man isolated with a chance to win Game 4, and he settled for a 3 … again In Golden State’s Game 4 loss to the Lakers on Monday, Stephen Curry was spectacular in every area but one. Shooting. He finished 12 for 30 from the field, including 3 of 14 from 3, and if the Warriors don’t find a way to come back from this 3-1 deficit to avoid elimination, there are going to be two shots in particular he thinks about for a long time. With the Warriors trailing by one and under 40 seconds to play, Curry induced a…

Jordan Poole’s playoff-long struggles reached a nadir at exactly the wrong time. The Golden State Warriors guard went scoreless in his team’s nail-biting Game 4 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night, on the bench for the fourth quarter’s duration en route to a season-low 10 minutes of playing time. The defending champions now trail the Lakers 3-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals, their backs against the wall of elimination in large part due to Poole’s rank ineffectiveness. If anyone on the Warriors has reason to be extra frustrated with Poole, it’s certainly Stephen Curry. The reigning Finals MVP was Golden State’s only consistent source…
