Warriors star Jimmy Butler has made it clear: he has no interest in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game. And he’s not the only one.
The Golden State Warriors recently posted an Instagram video encouraging fans to vote for Butler, who is averaging 19.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists in his first full season with the team.
Butler did not mince words in the comments, making it obvious that he would rather be anywhere else than the Intuit Dome come February.
Butler commented on the Warriors’ page: “Don’t vote for me guys.
Flory Bidunga and Tre White lead No.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Thomas Bryant learned the hard way that karma moves quicker than Donovan Mitchell in transition.
Bryant was on the wrong side of a replay after backing down Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel for a hook shot.
The journeyman center couldn’t resist an over-the-top celebration … so Bryant flexed his way downcourt, hitting the “too small” gesture at the 20-year-old. Then, gravity struck. Hard.
Bryant tripped over thin air, barrel-rolling across the hardwood as he ran back on defense.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points and De’Andre Hunter had 15 of his 27 in the second half, powering the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 139-132 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
Darius Garland added 27 points and 10 assists for Cleveland, which pulled away in the second half to snap a three-game losing streak. The Cavaliers also had lost three straight at home and are 2-5 at Rocket Arena since Nov. 30.

Kon Knueppel didn’t need much time to set a new NBA record this season.
The Charlotte Hornets rookie is now the fastest player in league history to reach 100 career made 3-pointers. Knueppel needed just 29 games to hit that mark, which he did on Monday night in the Hornets’ 139-132 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s 12 games faster than Lauri Markkanen needed when he set the record during his rookie season.
When the San Francisco 49ers signed wide receiver Kendrick Bourne after their season opener, they didn’t know how much of an impact he’d make early on the year when they were without Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings.
The 30-year-old had back-to-back 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6 against the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 49ers, but he needed 500 receiving yards on the season to reach a $500,000 incentive.
The North Carolina Tar Heels just wrapped up their first season in the Bill Belichick era and while it was a disappointing on, the focus is on the future. North Carolina already announced changes coming at offensive coordinator and special teams coordinator, but the roster will also look different too.
On Monday, it was reported that freshman quarterback Bryce Baker is planning on entering the transfer portal when it opens up. Now, we have news on another quarterback.
Per Pete Nakos, quarterback Gio Lopez is expected to return to North Carolina for another season.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Darren Raddysh had a goal and two assists to reach 100 career points, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the St. Louis Blues 4-1 on Monday night.
Oliver Bjorkstrand had a power-play goal for his 400th point, and Pontus Holmberg and Anthony Cirelli also scored for Tampa Bay. Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel each had two assists, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 23 saves as the Lightning have won back-to-back games for the second time since the start of December.
Justin Faulk scored for St. Louis while Jordan Binnington finished with 13 saves.
