Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones at federal court, plead not guilty to fraud<\/p>\n

NBA’s Chauncey Billups and former player Damon Jones arrived at Brooklyn federal court to enter a plea in a criminal case accusing them of conspiring with the mafia to rig illicit poker games.<\/p>\n

Ja Morant<\/a> is enduring another NBA season that’s not going according to plan.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> star has clashed with new coach Tuomas Iisalo and his staff<\/a>, and Morant’s play suffered before another injury sidelined him in recent games<\/a>. He’s on pace to set career lows in field goal percentage and 3-point percentage heading into a home game against the Denver Nuggets<\/a> on Monday, Nov. 24.<\/p>\n

Morant has appeared in just 71 games since the start of the 2023-24 NBA season due to various ailments and off-court issues, but he’s still a hot topic around the league. He has been the subject of constant trade rumors<\/a> this season in light of the apparent turmoil within the organization, which also fired former coach Taylor Jenkins<\/a> with just nine games remaining in the 2024-25 regular season. Morant also made headlines on Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> for a testy, trash-talking exchange with Mavericks guard Klay Thompson<\/a> while Morant was on the bench injured.<\/p>\n

Monday’s matchup with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets is the Grizzlies’ first game since that dust-up. Here’s the latest on Morant’s injury status for the Grizzlies’ game against the Nuggets on Nov. 24:<\/p>\n
