Jimmer Fredette put up a career-high 75 points for the Shanghai Sharks in their Chinese Basketball Association game Sunday against Beikong. His big night wasn’t enough to propel the Sharks to victory, falling 137-136 after Pierre Jackson knocked down a three-pointer in the closing seconds. After their loss, Jimmer didn’t seem to want to speak all that much about his career game. Instead, he appeared more bothered over […]

When discussing rookie Wendell Carter Jr., who scored a career-high 25 points on 9-for-21 shooting against the Nuggets, Jokic commented on his 6-foot-10 frame by claiming that the Duke […]
