This is hardly the first time Stoudemire has pushed for an NBA comeback by Sam Quinn Dec 14, 2019 at 6:37 pm ET • 1 min read Amar'e Stoudemire has not played in an NBA game since May of 2016, but it has not been for lack of trying. He has pursued comebacks on multiple occasions, including this past offseason, in which he worked out for a host of teams including the Lakers. To this point, he has been unable to actually land a roster spot in the NBA, but that has not dissuaded him. Stoudemire, who had previously been playing in China, is back in the United States and once again seeking NBA employment, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times. Stoudemire had played only 11 games in China for the Fujian Sturgeons, but his numbers were impressive in that period. He averaged 19.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in China, and with a successful BIG3 stint under his belt as well, he has seemingly done everything in his power to prove that he … [Read more...] about Amar’e Stoudemire reportedly wants to return to the NBA after brief stint in China

Mike McClure, a DFS pro with almost $2 million in career earnings, gives optimal lineup advice by CBS Sports Staff Dec 14, 2019 at 10:43 am ET • 3 min read More than a quarter of the 2019-20 NBA season is in the books and the Saturday NBA action brings a strong NBA DFS player pool. There are multiple opportunities to exploit matchups and recent NBA injuries and with hundreds of thousands on the line in NBA DFS tournaments and cash games on FanDuel and DraftKings, meaning the optimal NBA DFS strategy could be worth a fortune. Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant (back) was held out in his last game and it's unknown if he'll be in action on Saturday. With Memphis taking on Washington in a game with a whopping over-under of 236, NBA DFS owners will be keeping a close eye on Morant's status and how it might free up minutes for cheaper Grizzlies reserves in a good spot. Clippers sixth man Lou Williams is also questionable against the Bulls with a sore right calf. … [Read more...] about NBA DFS: Spencer Dinwiddie and best FanDuel, DraftKings daily Fantasy basketball picks for Saturday, Dec. 14

The NFL's outdated policy on weed may soon be changing by Patrik Walker @VoiceOfTheStar Dec 14, 2019 at 11:17 am ET • 5 min read Unless you've been sleeping under a rock that lacked Wi-Fi access and was not located near a local dispensary, you're well aware of the cultural shift in the nation regarding the use of marijuana. Now legal for recreational use in a list of states and jurisdictions, with many more likely to come, it's also long been known for its medical benefits -- the latter being routinely touted by athletes as a much better alternative to risking addiction to opioids and/or narcotic painkillers.Despite the known science, the NFL remains firm on their ban of marijuana under the league's substance abuse policy, continually testing for its use and levying severe and escalating penalties that lead up to and sometimes include indefinite suspension, and the potentially massive loss of income that comes tethered to the … [Read more...] about Cowboys’ Jerry Jones on NFL’s current marijuana ban: ‘We can expect an adjustment’

Harris has stepped up for the Sixers following the departure of Jimmy Butler over the offseason by Michael Kaskey-Blomain Dec 14, 2019 at 5:22 pm ET • 4 min read PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris has been playing consistent, high-level NBA basketball for a while now. He's averaged at least 14 points per game every single season since 2012-13, despite the fact that he has suited up for four different franchises during that span, and he holds career averages of 15.7 points and six rebounds per performance over nearly 600 professional appearances since he was drafted out of Tennessee in the first round in 2011.  However, despite developing a reputation as a reliable offensive option over the course of his career, Harris has never been named to an All-Star team. That could change this season though. Aside from a slight shooting slump to start the season, Harris has been extremely solid for the Sixers since inking a five-year, … [Read more...] about 76ers’ Tobias Harris is making a legitimate case to be a first-time All-Star selection this season
