About our Atlantic Division (NBA) news
Latest news on NBA Atlantic Division, covering the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors, plus NBA basketball scores, injuries, trades, free agency and playoffs.
The Atlantic Division is one of six divisions in the National Basketball Association, three in each conference. It sits in the Eastern Conference and has five teams. They play in Boston, Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia and Toronto, so the division mixes major US media markets with one Canadian city.
Coverage of the division follows the big NBA themes: injuries, coaching changes, the draft, free agency and the race for playoff seeding. Fans of the Celtics, Knicks, Nets, 76ers (often called the Sixers) and Raptors also watch for roster decisions and contract talks.
Basketball is woven into each city's identity. The Knicks play at Madison Square Garden, one of the most famous arenas in sport, while the Celtics call TD Garden home. Celtics and Sixers meetings carry a long rivalry, and the Knicks and Nets share a cross-city rivalry in New York.
The division has a rich history. The Celtics are among the most decorated franchises in league history, the Knicks won championships in 1970 and 1973, and the Nets moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn. The Raptors, the only team to bring an NBA title to Canada, won the championship in 2019.
Our ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ NBA Atlantic Division feed gathers the latest news on the Celtics, Nets, Knicks, 76ers and Raptors in one place, from game reports and analysis to injury updates, trades, free agency and playoff coverage across the Eastern Conference.
