2026 NBA Season

[fullfitlarry]

It looks like the media doesn't like KD, LeBron and Curry that much anymore. The same for Kawhi as well. He suffered injury problems of course but he is also one of the great players in NBA.

The starting five in the announced rosters are as they should be. If it's a serious battle, the West will win by a large margin.
They will win again, but the important thing is how serious the game will be. Stars like LeBron and Curry are getting old.

Has Jokic recovered from his injury and will he be able to play?

I haven't heard news about Jokic coming from that injury and be able to play in the All-Star. I think the team needs to re-evaluate him and not force him to play just because it's an All-Star game.

The line up looks solid, and yes, as what others said, it could be the a dawn of new era. Lebron is no longer in the starting lineup for the first time as we have seen the lineup as new and young and the future stars of the NBA.

[Fredomago]

The starting fives are quite okay to me honestly. The era of LeBron, Durant and Curry is coming to an end in All-Star I'm afraid. I'm not surprised with what the media was thinking about them.

Curry is still a starter though which is nice to see.    I wished to see Edwards as a starter too. But Wembanyama was selected for it thanks to fan rank. Both are great players of course. I hope we watch a more enjoyable All-Star game this time...

Young talents are now getting the attention of those fans who still loves watching the league, and how the social media hype up those players surely fans supports affects the online voting, and we have seen the outcome. Same with what you said LeBron, KD and Curry's era is nearing though Chef still got enough votes to be a starter this upcoming All-Star game which now composed of much younger generation, hopefully they'll show competition to entertain the fans.

Even The King  gets the vote for the first 5 to start its not good to see him on top now, And people knew that for some years.
He the one is giving the  time for others, He played the all star game at very short time and let other players enjoy the day in the court.

But yes, ERA is ending very soon. next year or soon we might not see them on the court.

Golden State Warriors have said that Jimmy Butler has had a season ending ACL tear injury. Bad break for Jimmy. I’ve been there. Your knee is never the same. That pretty much puts the Warriors into a rebuild scenario and sets them up to waste the end of Steph Curry’s career. Big bummer.

Without Jimmy, I don’t think the Warriors would survive in the playoffs. Even making it through the play-in is questionable. Even if Curry scores 30+ in their remaining games, it’s hard to tell if they could pull it off. The management is wasting Curry’s remaining years in the league. The possibility of Curry getting his 5th ring seems impossible for now, unless they can bring in a more reliable scorer before the trade deadline.

Right now, his teammates need to step up big time, not just on and off. I can’t think of anyone who would be interested in joining the Warriors. Not to mention, it feels like the management isn’t even trying hard to get another ring. Aren’t they thinking that once Curry retires, it could take many years again before they get another real chance to win a championship?

Just watched the highlights video and just from watching how he landed and his reaction it kinda looked like an ACL injury already. And yeah, just an hour or so ago they published the result of the MRI and the worst thing actually happened. With Butler out I would say it's fair to assume that an already mediocre season for the Warriors has come to an early end, tough luck. Guess all they can do now is looking to finalize some trade scenarios for Kuminga and even others at this point to start the upper mentioned rebuild.

Too bad for Jimmy, he was playing really good in Warriors uniform, but this things can't be avoided. We can only hope for the best for him to recover as what had happen to Klay and KD and they return to the game.

For sure, with this incident, they will trade Kuminga to get another good wing man. But no one can replace Jimmy though, his experience and being a leader will be missed by the Warriors. There were news about the Warriors interested on Michael Porter Jr.

Do you think he will be a good fit for the Warriors though?

That is very unfortunate for Jimmy Butler and Golden State Warriors, having an ACL injury is never easy for a player considering whichever sport that you’re playing, it’s always a long journey to come back to full fitness and it’s always a year interval to come out of this injury, especially when you will be having different rehabilitation routines and it’s always a challenge mentally, I don’t think this is a break that is needed by Jimmy Butler.

However the Golden state warriors have device a new plan to get themselves out from this devastating situation of Jimmy Butler, obviously they have to replace him until his back to his full fitness, they we have no other option but to find another player along the line, who can replace Jimmy Butler in the Season, I don’t think it affects Steph Curry’s Career, because the only option Golden State Warriors have right now is rebuilding and replacing Jimmy Butler.

I saw this news and it’s really bad for the Warriors this season, because it could mean they won’t even make the playoffs. Butler was supposed to help Curry, that’s exactly why they brought him in, so what happened is very unfortunate.

With how things are looking now, it feels like the Warriors can no longer win a championship with this roster. They’re getting old, and now injuries are piling up. Even Curry himself has become injury-prone. It’s hard to see them making a deep run anymore unless something drastic changes.

Oh that would be a bad thing for them as the playoffs is around the corner , mostly jimmy turn the gas on when playoff time, guess this will not be a year, curry maybe devasted with this as this could be one of the last run of his career and a waste season although they can still have another run next year but if its acl jimmy will not be back soon.
If they need to run for a championship they need now a new rooster and if curry can fit in there that would be great, but is the GSW still have caps, Giannis can turn this around.

Out for the season, that’s really bad. Last time during the playoffs it was Stephen Curry who got ruled out because of injury, and now with Jimmy Butler out, most of the load is back on Curry again. That’s risky, because the more they lean on him, the higher the chance he also gets hurt.

The hype around the Golden State Warriors is pretty much gone at this point. They clearly need a big trade, but that’s hard to see happening now with Butler injured. If Giannis Antetokounmpo ever pushes for a move to the Warriors, Butler feels like the most likely piece they’d have to give up.

Though situation happen on Jimmy and also for Warriors especially that they are chasing more wins. Losing Butler at this point might gonna affect their playoffs run especially that he plays huge role on GSW rotation.

That ACL injury gotten by Jimmy can possibly hit him hard, so hoping to see fast recovery for him. Yeah seems another year will be wasted for Steph since with Jimmy's absence Warriors might be in bad shape.

Still good win for GSW today despite of injury gotten by Butler.

I think this injury now opens the door for the Warriors front office to make a move. Since they were torn between trading Jimmy and Draymond to get Giannis, this now opens an opportunity to make a decision. Throw the white flag this season and rebuild next season cos there's no how the Warriors can compete with that squad.

The fact that Lebron is not a starter for the first time in 21 years is a big deal, bigger deal than people realize. Not because of Lebron, he knows that he is going to be in the all-star game, who in the world has been picked for all-star 21 times before, that's not the point. The point is that we are watching end of an era completely, with him eventually gone, we are going to have the last of our childhood gone, and all that remains will be players from our normal adult life.

The player that is oldest after him was drafted when I was in college, and by comparison he was drafted back when I was in elementary school, that's a huge gap, everyone in between those got retired long ago. Just look at Bosh, Wade and Melo that was drafted with Lebron, they have been retired for a long time now.

Tonight there are Rockets - Spurs and Nuggets - Lakers games. It's going to be a fun night! I think this time Rockets will defeat Spurs. For the other game Nuggets have lots of important missing players. Gordon and Murray might not be able to play also. Lakers should win.

Has Jokic recovered from his injury and will he be able to play?

The All-Star game date is February 15. Various sources are saying that Jokic is out until February 1. At least for now... If it doesn't extend beyond this date then he would be able to play.

I hope he can perform in this game. He is the best player of the season but while he is out SGA is attacking for the MVP award.

I thought it was such a great move by them, and yet it ended not so great. Butler to basically replace Klay, and while Butler isn't that much of a great three point shooter, it's true that he still did great job at defending, and scoring whenever they needed him to. It was a good partnership and it worked well so far, but with ACL injuries at that age, he is basically semi-retired now. I know he will get back eventually and play some more games but he will never be him again and he will just cruise the league until he is out completely.

It is a shame to see the dynasty end this way, but they had an amazing run. One thing we can all be certain of is that the Warriors are doing everything they can to try and pair Giannis with Steph right now. I don’t think it’s possible, but if it is I’m sure they’re trying to make it happen.

I feel so sorry for Butler; he suffered one of the worst injuries a basketball player can experience. I have many friends who have gone through this, and they never managed to reach their previous performance levels. Of course, pro NBA players will be different and will recover, but even the fact that this season was wasted is very sad for him. After such injuries, the careers of such good players change drastically. D-Rose always comes to mind; it's really sad

Golden State is reportedly looking to trade Butler after the injury according to Legion Hoops… Look for them to make a big move here as they try to save the end of their franchise player’s career. Giannis is really the only major prize out there right now… Is Kuminga and Butler enough to get him?

By the way I don't think player voting is a fair factor to determine All-Star starters. It shouldn't have an effect like 25% during voting phase. Because I don't think they take it seriously while giving votes to each other.

I bet so many of them are just voting for fun. You can understand it from some meaningless choices of them. For example how can Luka Doncic be #6 in player rank? There are many other weird choices like that.
