Reports of a potential blockbuster trade which would send Wizards star Kristaps Porzingis to the Celtics emerged on Wednesday evening. Frameworks of a three-team deal involving Boston, Washington, and the Clippers surfaced ahead of Thursday’s NBA draft, however, it seems the negotiations hit a snare.
The three-team deal has fallen apart, with the deadline for Porzingis for his $36 million option for next season coming at midnight, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday evening.
Per Wojnarowski, the Wizards are still trying to trade Porzingis to Boston.

Much like it did two years ago, San Francisco is winning big with few stars. Some of the elements of that success are old but many are new.
Party hard; play harder. That’s the M.O. that helped, nay, inspired Rob Gronkowski to play his way into the pantheon of all-time NFL tight ends.
With several championships and copious Pro Bowl selections, Gronk makes a strong case as arguably the best to ever do it (much thanks to the QB GOAT Tom Brady, of course).
Amid all those championship parades, NFL audiences got to see just how hard Gronk can party. And we’re talking Belushi in “Animal House” levels of partying.
Here to corroborate the legend of the party monster is former Pats teammate Jake Bequette.
Rob Font will return to the cage this August in a bout against Song Yadong.
The bantamweight fight is the newest addition to UFC 292 in Boston, Sports Illustrated has learned.
Font (20–6) snapped a two-fight losing streak this past April, defeating Adrian Yanez by TKO in the first round. Having spent the majority of his career training just outside of Boston, the chance to fight at TD Garden—where he is undefeated in two bouts—is a necessity for Font.
“There’s no way I was turning this down,” says Font. “The moment I heard UFC was coming back to Boston, I had to be on the card.
Yankees fans have been less than thrilled by the team’s offensive performances of late, and they’ve been vocal about it on social media.
During an interview with Michael Kay of the YES Network, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner was asked about the anger from the fan base.
Steinbrenner admitted he was “confused” by fans’ reaction at such an early point in the season, urging supporters to remain patient amid the onslaught of injuries plaguing the team.
“I understand they’re upset. I’m a little confused this year, being the third week of June, why they’re so upset.

NBA draft prospect Victor Wembanyama is widely expected to hear his name called as the first pick on Thursday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y..
During an interview ahead of the draft, Wembanyama was asked about some of the concerns casted over his ability to endure a full 82-game NBA season at his current size.
The Los Angeles Angels have the best player in baseball on their roster. And, you might find some who would argue whether Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani is that player. Either way, the Angels have two generational prospects on the Major League team. And on their Triple-A affiliate, the Salt Lake Bees, they have Jo Adell who has the longest recorded home run in baseball this season.
Adell actually now holds the record of longest home run ever recorded by Statcast (since 2015), across all of both Minor and Major League Baseball. At least in stadiums equipped with the technology.
