Jayson Williams is expected to accept an 18-month prison sentence today in the shooting death of limousine driver Costas "Gus" Christofi — nearly eight years after the incident Feb. 14, 2002, at Williams' former Hunterdon County, N.J., estate.

If Allen Iverson is eager to join the Knicks, the feeling doesn't seem quite as mutual for a 2-9 team still mulling whether it will pursue him at all after he hit the open market Thursday night.

The Nuggets ain't bad. Here's a play that sums up why. In Tuesday night's game against Toronto, Carmelo Anthony received a pass on the right wing and cruised by his defender.

Well, check it out – on Saturday at 11 a.m. mountain time, NBA-TV is airing a game featuring Linas Kleiza’s new team, Olympiacos. The former Nugget will play against a team called Efes Pilsen in a Euroleague matchup also featuring former NBA players Von Wafer and Bostjan Nachbar. The Nuggets still have the NBA rights to [...]

Nuggets coach George Karl always respected Allen Iverson. Though Iverson’s defense and passing decisions were sometimes suspect, the fact is, Denver managed to win 50 games during Iverson’s lone full season with the Nuggets, in 2007-08.

David Thompson can pinpoint the precise moment the Lakers pretty much began to own the Nuggets. But before we get to April 15, 1979, at McNichols Sports Arena, consider that when the Nuggets entered the NBA in 1976, maybe they didn't own the Lakers. But at least they rented them.

ESPN is currently scheduled to show Houston at Dallas at 6 p.m. MDT April 15, the season’s final day. Network executives might want to rethink that one. Scheduled to start the same time are Detroit at Miami and Philadelphia at Cleveland. How about a split screen, with one game on each side?

After losing Mikki Moore to Boston, Nuggets coach George Karl said Denver still could add a player.

As it currently stands, the Nuggets lead Northwest Division challengers Portland Trail Blazers by 1½ games and Utah by three games. Under the Doug Moe system, awarding plus-1 for a road win and minus-1 for a home loss, the Nuggets still have a comfortable cushion on both teams.

The Nuggets are hoping Oklahoma City buys out big man Joe Smith, enabling Denver to pursue him. In the meantime, Johan Petro, a former Oklahoma City big man, has stepped up.

An interesting development late Sunday in Milwaukee. It looked like free-agent big man Mikki Moore was going to decide on a new team by midnight, but his agent said that a final decision won't be made until Monday. Mark Bartelstein added that the Nuggets are still among the teams Moore is considering.
