Ben Simmons and the 76ers have reached a settlement on the grievance over withheld pay for the 2021-22 season, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.ESPN Sources: Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers have reached a L.C. Greenwood Jersey settlement agreement on the grievance the All-Star guard filed to recoup a portion of the nearly $20 million withheld him as a result of his failure to play games in the 2021-2022 season. Story soon. Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) Back in April,Simmons and the National Basketball Players A sociation filed a grievance against the 76ers over money that was withheld from mi sing games and practices prior to being traded to the Nets.According to Wojnarowski, "both sides entered an arbitration proce s but reached a settlement agreement prior to judgment."Why did Simmons and the NBPA file a grievance against the 76ers and how much money was settled upon? The Sporting News has answers to both questions below.MORE: Why did Ben Simmons file a grievance against 76ers?Simmons filed a grievance against the 76ers to challenge the roughly $20 million of salary that was withheld from him Arthur Moats Jersey due to mi sing games and practices during the 2021-22 season.The 76ers claimed Simmons breached his contract by failing to show up and take part in team activities such as practices and games, but Simmons cited his mental health as the reason he didn't participate.Simmons "disagreed" with the acce s that the team and its doctors were given to diagnose and affirm his mental health. Although the two sides tried to resolve the matter without arbitration, those talks reportedly ended without a Marcus Gilbert Jersey resolution, which led to the filing of the grievance, according to Wojnarowski.However, the two sides reached an agreement ahead of the scheduled arbitration.What was the settlement between Ben Simmons and 76ers?Wojnarowski reported, "Both sides agreed to confidentiality on the exact financial settlement reached."Simmons filed a grievance for "roughly $20 million" back in April, but the portion of that retained is unknown.Unrelated to the grievance settlement, it is worth noting that when Simmons was traded to the Nets, he received his full salary from Brooklyn from the time of the Cameron Sutton Jersey trade through the end of the playoffs despite not playing a single game.In 2021-22, Simmons' was set to earn just over $33 million.He was on the Nets for 27 of the team's 82 regular season games, which means he net ~$10,878,881 (27/82x33M).

The NBA is moving at a million miles a minute early this offseason. On Friday, the Timberwolves got in on the action.Minnesota three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert from the Jazz. Utah got a king's ransom back, according to : four first-round Rollie Fingers Jersey picks (three of which are unprotected); 2022 first-round pick Walker Ke sler; and Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverly, Leandro Bolmaro and Jarred Vanderbilt.For the Wolves, Friday's deal signifies their intention to compete. Minnesota made it back to the playoffs this past season and made a decent account of itself against the Grizzlies. With Gobert, the league's preeminent rim protector, Minnesota may be a force come 2022-23.The Jazz, on the other hand, seems to be embracing the retool. Longtime coach Quin Snyder left after the season.MORE: The NBA Jose Canseco Jersey world sure took notice of the Gobert trade, with players and personalities letting their thoughts be known.Some, like Raptors forward Thaddeus Young and Pelicans guard CJ McCollum and forward Larry Nance Jr., were awed by the number of a sets Utah acquired.Well damn Rudy....

Believe it or not, we're already through the first quarter of the 2022-23 NBA season. Toronto Blue Jays Jersey That means we're officially past the annual "small sample size" phase of the year, where trends and results begin to take shape and give us an idea of how things may shake out for the remainder of the season.While things can certainly still change over the remaining three quarters, now feels like the perfect time to take stock in this year's MVP race. We've seen just enough to properly rank players based on their individual and team performances, but it's still early enough that one bad week could drastically change the order.Players like Jayson Tatum and Giannis Antetokounmpo have led their teams to the top two records in the NBA, respectively, while others like Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic have put up insane numbers to keep their teams alive in the playoff hunt early on. Stars like Ja Morant, Nikola Jokic and Devin Booker have done enough to receive MVP consideration, but how do they compare to the four aforementioned frontrunners?The Sporting News elected to have seven members of its NBA Global staff rank their top five MVP candidates, using a points system to produce the results. Players received five points for a first-place vote, four points for a second-place vote, three points for a third-place vote, and so on and so forth.Below, you can find the results for our NBA MVP rankings through the first 20 games of the season.NBA MVP rankings (NBA Getty Images) 1. Jayson Tatum, Boston CelticsVotes (first place):27 (3)Averages:30.5 PTS, 7.9 REB, 4.6 AST, 1.2 BLK, 0.8 STL, 47.7% FGTeam record:16-4, 1st in Eastern ConferenceTatum and Antetokounmpo tied with 27 votes apiece but Tatum's three first-place votes gave him the edge over Antetokounmpo's one. Both playing at an MVP level, it feels like the proper result considering Tatum's Celtics are just narrowly ahead of Antetokounmpo's Bucks for the best record in the NBA.After coming up two wins shy of an NBA championship last season, Tatum has used those shortcomings and a rough outing in the NBA Finals as motivation to elevate his game this season.Tatum has taken a major leap as a scorer, on how his MVP emergence is right on time for Boston's championship aspirations. The 24-year-old has made good on his offseason challenge to get to the rim and free throw line more frequently, scoring with career-best efficiency in the restricted area and in the paint while attempting a career-high 8.8 free throws per game.Those adjustments have Tatum averaging acareer-high 30.5 points and 4.6 a sists per game, leading a Celtics team that has through the first 20 games of the season.When you include the strides he's made as a versatile defender, Paul Molitor Jersey coming up with timely defensive stops on several occasions already this year, Tatum has been the type of dominant two-way player you're looking for in a league MVP.2. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee BucksVotes (first place):27 (1)Averages:30.9 PTS, 11.4 REB, 5.4 AST, 1.0 BLK, 0.9 STL, 53.4%FGTeam record:14-5, 2nd in Eastern ConferenceAs mentioned above, Antetokounmpo lost out on the top spot due to the first-place votes tiebreaker. That surely doesn't take away from the season he is having thus far, as the Greek Freak is well-positioned to make a run at his third-career MVP trophy.It feels like we're starting to take Antetokounmpo for granted because of how consistent he has been over the last five seasons. The 27-year-old is seemingly sleepwalking to 30 points and 10 rebounds a night, averaging a career-best 30.9 points to go with 11.4 rebounds per game. He is an unstoppable force on Josh Donaldson Jersey both ends of the floor, also anchoring as a leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year.Antetokounmpo has been utterly insane to keep the Bucks in second place in the East despite All-Star forward Khris Middleton having yet to make his 2022-23 debut a situation that works in his favor for the MVP narrative thus far.Just because he's already won the award twice before doesn't mean Antetokounmpo's sustained succe s should be ignored for this year's MVP race.3. Stephen Curry, Golden State WarriorsVotes (first place):24 (3)Averages:31.4 PTS, 7.1 AST, 6.8 REB, 1.2 STL, 5.2 3PM, 52.2% FG, 44.1% 3FGTeam record:11-10, 9th in Western ConferenceIf not for the Warriors' 11-10 record and one voter leaving Curry off their ballot entirely for that reason Curry likely would have ended up No. 1 on this MVP ladder. The reigning Finals MVP continues to defy expectations, playing some of the best basketball of his career at 34 years old.Curry's 31.4 points per game rank second in the league behind Doncic but he's doing it with "best shooter of all-time"-level efficiency. Curry is shooting a career-high 52.2 percent from the field, 44.1 percent from 3 and 91.1 percent from the free-throw line, on pace for his second 50-40-90 season.He's averaging a career-high in rebounds (6.8) and his 7.1 a sists per game are his most since 2014-15 his first MVP season.We've already seen Curry go for 50 points once and 40 points twice. He also had a 15-a sist game, which was the most he's Troy Tulowitzki Jersey registered in a game since his unanimous MVP season in 2015-16.Curry is doingeverything to fill the needs of a struggling Warriors squad and there is certainly a case to be made that he has been themost valuableto his team. (the fourth-highest odds in the league), Curry could be a wise bet for the future if you're a believer that Golden State will eventually turn things around and return toward the top of the Western Conference standings by the end of the season.4. Luka Doncic, Dallas MavericksVotes (first place):14 (0)Averages:33.1 PTS, 8.7 REB, 8.4 AST, 1.7 STL, 50.4% FGTeam record:9-10, 11th in Western ConferenceDoncic entered this season as the favorite to win MVP and he has certainly upheld his end of the bargain. The 23-year-old leads the league in scoring with 33.1 points per game and his 8.7 rebounds and 8.4 a sists are right on par with his career averages. His four triple-doubles also lead the NBA, doing it all for a Mavericks team that has underwhelmed out of the gate.While you could make the case that Dallas' lack of succe s could limit his chances of winning the award, Doncic's path to MVP could be similar to that of Nikola Jokic last year.The Nuggets only finished sixth in the Western Conference last year but Jokic's ridiculous numbers parlayed with Denver mi sing its next two Dalton Pompey Jersey best players, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., due to injury paved the way for Jokic to take home his second-consecutive MVP trophy.The Mavericks aren't mi sing their next two best players like the Nuggets were, but losing Jalen Brunson in free agency has proved to be a bigger void than anticipated and the current roster around Doncic has been disappointing

Charles Barkley's longstanding rift with Michael Jordan isn't much of a secret anymore, but it may come as a surprise that the two haven't spoken in over 10 years.While a decade has pa sed since their relationship soured, the rift came back to light during a recent conversation between Barkley and Taylor Rooks, who asked the Justin Morneau Jersey Hall of Famer to go into detail about the fallout. By all accounts, the friendship ended when Barkley was critical of Jordan's role as an executive with the Charlotte Hornets."It's a really unfortunate situation for me and him," . "I'm gonna do my job first and foremost because I can't criticize other coaches and general managers and give him a pa s because he's my best friend."MORE:But what exactly did Barkley say in 2012 to make Jordan that mad? He offered a succinct version of his me sage to Rooks:I said 'I worry about him being succe sful' because when you're a star and he's the biggest star I've ever been around everybody around you is going to tell you what you want to hear. I don't think he had a good enough supporting cast around him in the front office to be succe sful. I said that and had no problem saying it because it was the truth.According to Barkley, Jordan called him in response, the two had an unpleasant conversation and they haven't spoken since. Not even when they were honored as members of the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team.That's cold.Considering how close Barkley and Jordan once were, there has to be more to it, right? Here's a look back at how the rift originated and why it likely made Jordan so upset.What did Charles Barkley say about Michael Jordan?Similar to a game of telephone, me sages inevitably change over time. While Barkley's paraphrasing of his 2012 quotes is appreciated, it's important to refer to the original situation that set Jordan off.In 2006, Jordan became a minority owner of the then-Charlotte Bobcats, a suming full control of the franchise's basketball operations. In March 2010, Jordan became the majority owner of the franchise, a post he still holds with the Hornets today.Midway through the lockout-shortened 2011-12 NBA Rod Carew Jersey season, the Bobcats held a 4-29 record and , Barkley gave an honest a se sment of his friend's performance as an executive:"I love Michael, but he just has not done a good job," Barkley said. "Even though he is one of my great friends, I can't get on here and tell you he's done a great job. He has not done a great job, plain and simple."While harsh, Barkley's words were fair. It's unclear whether or not Jordan took exception to the a se sment itself or the more personal a se sments that came with it:One thing about being Ervin Santana Jersey famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check. They want to fly around on your private jet so they never disagree with you. I don't think Michael has hired enough people around him who will disagree.Barkley would go as far as to recall a personal conversation with Jordan in which he referred to some of the people in Charlotte's front office as "flunkies," citing their lack of influence in important draft decisions, like selecting Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy in 2006.While similar to what Barkley recalled to Rooks, the actual me sage was a bit more brutal and likely the type of thing that Jordan felt is better served to stay between friends.In 2016, on the situation, saying all bridges could be mended by a simple apology from Barkley. As Barkley's teammate at Turner and Jordan's teammate at UNC, Smith might be the most qualified to speak on the dynamic between the two.Fast forward nearly six years and Barkley admitted that he and Jordan are both stubborn before offering an apology, saying "what I said, I believed. I'm sorry you took offense to it. Let's get past this bulls and get back to playing golf and having fun."Whether or not that apology will be enough to end the rift remains to Kennys Vargas Jersey be seen.Michael Jordan ownership history with Charlotte HornetsHere's a look back at some of the decisions that likely impacted Barkley's a se sment in 2012:2006 NBA Draft:Jordan's first draft as an executive with Charlotte the Bobcats selectAdam Morrison with No. 3 overall pick ahead of No. 6 Brandon Roy, No. 8 Rudy Gay and No. 11 JJ Redick2008 NBA Draft:Three years after drafting Raymond Felton (who was still on the roster), Charlotte selects another Erick Aybar Jersey point guard in DJ Augustin with the ninth overall selection, one pick before Brook Lopez. Thanks to the Bobcats landing Kemba Walker in 2011, Charlotte rescinded its qualifying offer to Augustin in 2012, letting a former lottery pick walk for nothing as a free agent.2009 offseason:Le s than a year after signing Emeka Okafor to a six-year extension, he is traded to New Orleans in exchange for Tyson Chandler, who was traded le s than a year later.2010 offseason:Trading Chandler to Dallas in exchange for Matt Carroll, Erick Dampier and Eduardo Najera.2010 free agency:Sign Tyrus Thomas to a five-year $40 million contract. Thomas averaged 7.5 points and 4.4 rebounds over four seasons with Charlotte.2010-11season: Parted ways withLarry Brown 18 games into the season, just months after Brown led Charlotteto the playoffs for the first time since the original franchise moved in 2002.2011 trade deadline: Sending2010 All-Star Gerald Wallace to the Trail Blazers in exchange for Dante Cunningham, Sean Marks, Joel Pryzbilla and two future first-round picks. Neither draft pick ever suited up for Charlotte.

It's been a turbulent few weeks for Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who delivered his best game since returning from suspension, torching the Charlotte Hornets for 33 points in their 122-116 win at Barclays Center.SIGN Ervin Santana Jersey UP TO WATCH EVERY GAME ON NBA LEAGUE PASS: Irving, who mi sed eight games after sharing a link to a documentary on Twitter featuring anti-semitic me saging, was this week also dropped by Nike, bringing an end to his relationship with the brand that released seven signature sneakers under his name during their partnership."At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate Fernando Rodney Jersey speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism," . "We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone."Despite no longer being with the brand, on Wednesday night Irving took to the court wearing a pair of his Kyrie 3 sneakers, covering up Kirby Puckett Jersey the Nike swoosh with black tape and his own hand-written me sage.Kyrie Irving covered up the Swoosh on his Nike Kyrie 3 with some me sages following his official split with the company.Irving is a sneaker free agent Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) Emblazoned on his right shoe was the me sage"I am free" Michael Pineda Jersey and "Thank you God... I am" with his left shoe reading "Logo Here."The 30-year-old shared a similar me sage on Twitter following the announcement from Nike.

Its time to show how powerful we are as a community.It's unclear what's next for the sneaker free agent, however, Nike has moved quickly to fill the vacancy, with reporting that Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is in line to receive a new signature sneaker with Nike in the near future.
