After acquiring Anthony Davis, the Lakers are close to returning to championship contender status. They just need to fill their void at point guard.

Kawhi Leonard led the Raptors to the first championship in team history and became the third player to win Finals MVP with two different teams.

Kevin Durant’s injury could have a ripple effect throughout the NBA, from the Warriors to free agency to the record books.

Steph Curry and Klay Thompson hit clutch 3-pointers late to help the Warriors beat the Raptors 106-105 and cut Toronto’s series lead to 3-2.

Warriors star Kevin Durant limped off the floor with an Achilles injury and is scheduled to have an MRI exam on Tuesday.

Injuries are front and center in the NBA Finals, and each team’s athletic training staffs are under pressure to make sure players are healthy.

The Raptors have been relentless in the NBA playoffs, but especially in this series with the Warriors. They embody guard Kyle Lowry’s dogged ethos.

Kawhi Leonard says he isn’t out for revenge for 2017, but the Warriors must feel like the Raptors star has a score to settle this NBA Finals.
