Joel Embiid made waves for his Thursday comments during a speaking event when he said he wanted to win an NBA title but added, “I don’t know where that’s gonna be. Whether it’s in Philly or anywhere else.” The NBA world took that as the star center hinting that he’s open to leaving the 76ers, but on Tuesday team president Daryl Morey downplayed the comments.
“He had some fun with that yesterday,” Morey said on The Anthony Gargano Show, according to Philly Sports Network’s Sean Barnard. “That was a very Joel day.

1. Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks is having a nice season, with 10 saves in 21 games while striking out 19 batters in 19 innings with a 1.89 ERA.
Fairbanks, though, had a rough Monday night, taking in the loss in Tampa Bay’s 3–2 loss to Texas after his wild pitch brought in the winning run.
While Fairbanks was tagged with the L, he won the night thanks to what might be the greatest postgame press conference moment of the 2023 MLB season.
I don’t want to give you any spoilers because I want you to go in fresh and enjoy the quote, which comes around the 20-second mark.
Former Nuggets forward Bruce Brown said he saw a different side of Nikola Jokić during the Western Conference finals series against the Lakers back in May.
The Nuggets came out and swept the Lakers in four games, resulting in the first playoff series win against Los Angeles in Denver’s franchise history.
Though the stakes of the Nuggets attempting to win their first NBA title probably played a part into the intensity of the series, Brown admits he doesn’t really know why that series was “more personal” than the others.

Golf Channel analysts Brandel Chamblee and Eamon Lynch had some fun with each other online ahead of the 151st Open Championship.
A little teasing never hurt anyone, at least not in jest. Brandel Chamblee and Eamon Lynch proved that as they passed off digs to each other on Twitter ahead of the 151st Open Championship.
Lynch took the first shot, sharing a photo of Chamblee next to the Claret Jug.
“Hoping he doesn’t choke during ‘Live From the Open’ due to stress that comes with unfamiliar proximity to a trophy,” Lynch said in his tweet.
The home run is one of the most straightforward rules in sports. The ball goes over the fence, the player gets to circle the bases. But it isn’t always that simple.
In the fourth inning of Sunday’s Triple A game between the Oklahoma City Dodgers and Sacramento River Cats, OKC’s Devin Mann hit a long fly ball deep into the right-center field gap. Bryce Johnson tracked it down on the warning track and the ball landed in his glove for what appeared to be nothing but a long out.
But after Johnson made the catch, his momentum carried him toward the outfield fence.

The emergence of running back Tony Pollard last season was enough for the Cowboys to part ways with fan-favorite backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott. It was a cost-saving move for Dallas, which then used the franchise tag on Pollard. Moving on from Elliott all but cemented the fact the team was passing the torch to Pollard as its new No. 1 back.
At least for the 2023 season, it seems.
As ESPN’s Todd Archer first revealed, Pollard’s outlook beyond this coming season is cloudy at best. Archer believes it’s “highly likely” this year will be Pollard’s last with the Cowboys.

Tavon Austin last saw action during an NFL regular season game in 2021 but his career may not be over just yet. The 33-year-old teased a potential comeback while scaring the hell out of his neighbors during a twitchy backyard workout.
Austin, who spent a portion of last season on the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad, is still moving! The only question is whether an organization has any interest in signing him in any capacity for the 2023 season.

Just when everyone stateside was having a good time welcoming soccer star Lionel Messi to the MLS, here comes Cristiano Ronaldo to piss on the parade all the way from the Middle East. (Actually he was in Portugal at the time, but you get what I mean.)
Ronaldo isn’t impressed by the level of competitiveness in the MLS and took some time after a preseason game to put the league on blast.
According to ESPN, the Portuguese star was asked about the prospect of him making a move to the States a la Messi, and he quickly put his foot down at the idea.
