Heading into the 2023 NBA draft, there was palpable buzz that the stage was set for some truly ground-shaking trades to be made throughout the day. Thursday afternoon’s reported deal sending Chris Paul to the Warriors and Jordan Poole to the Wizards would certainly qualify as eye-opening.
Paul joins an already veteran-laden roster that seemingly signifies his best, and perhaps final, chance at winning an NBA championship. A Golden State backcourt of Paul, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson would have a combined 26 All-Star appearances and 22 All-NBA selections.

“So I’m from Kansas. Dorothy has her little slippers, I got my Dorothy suit.”
This suit is blinding me with luxury, and somehow I’m totally cool with it.
The Knicks and Clippers have had contact about a potential Paul George trade, per SNY sources. The Clippers’ willingness to trade George at this point is unknown. The Knicks could also target Donte DiVincenzo in free agency.
Deion Sanders is scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure Friday to improve the blood circulation in his legs.
The new Colorado football coach wrote Thursday on his Instagram account that he has a blood clot in each of his legs. Friday’s procedure will restore “proper bloodflow” so that doctors can fix the circulation issues in his ailing left foot, according to Sanders.
Thursday’s news comes after a report on The Pat McAfee Show indicated that the Pro Football Hall of Famer would undergo surgery on Friday for a blood clot in his groin.
Deion Sanders is set to undergo surgery on Friday. The 55-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer and head coach of Colorado has been dealing with blood clot issues over the course of the last few years, which is the root of this upcoming procedure.
Doctors recently discovered blood clots in both his left and right thighs, which are blocking blood flow to his feet. Sanders’ surgery will be to remove those blood clots.
Sanders issued a statement on Instagram hours after the news first broke, which said that “the truth will make you free.
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — Rose Zhang hits a tee shot on the eighth hole during the first round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club on June 22, 2023. | Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images
The 20-year-old phenom, Rose Zhang, fought her swing at Baltusrol, but she is still in contention after the first round.
She is one special player.
Despite a tough start, Rose Zhang carded an opening 1-under 70 at the KPMG LPGA Women’s Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club on Thursday.
“It was quite difficult [to start],” Zhang said afterward on Golf Channel.
Dave Martinez got the most out of his ejection on Thursday afternoon.
The Warriors reportedly are trading young guard Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards for veteran guard Chris Paul.
Before he became heavyweight champion of the world, Joe Louis’s mother forced him to play the violin. Or so she thought. She handed over a quarter a week for lessons. But he never showed up, choosing to train at the gym nearby instead.
In 1933, Louis entered his first Golden Gloves tournament. After he notched a couple upsets, his best friend’s mother congratulated his mom on her son’s boxing success. She had no idea. “And that was the first fight Joe ever had with his mother,” says a man with almost three-quarters of a century’s worth of sports history in his head.
Not all baseball ejections are created equal. During Thursday’s game between the Nationals and Diamondbacks, Washington manager Dave Martinez made the most of his run-in with home plate umpire Doug Eddings.
And the best part of all? Microphones from the game’s broadcast captured nearly the entire very-NSFW exchange.
With one out in the top of the fifth inning, Eddings called Jake Irvin’s first pitch ball to Arizona’s Carson Kelly a ball. The call drew some critical shouts from the Nationals dugout, which immediately drew the ire of Eddings, who removed his mask to shout back.
