Ballmer’s $2B investment makes its NBA debut as the Clippers open the regular season at the Intuit Dome.

Answering the biggest questions surrounding the start of the season, including the unknowns about Kawhi Leonard and the Suns big three’s chemistry.

Consider this the first twist in that explosive storyline featuring LeBron and Bronny James we warned you about yesterday.
The James family’s team-up is set to be the most talked-about topic of the new NBA season, and Wednesday’s latest development shows that it can branch out beyond the basketball court—perhaps into the legal court.
On Tuesday, hours before 39-year-old LeBron shared the court with Bronny for three minutes at Crypto.com Arena, the tandem hoopers were named as defendants in a Los Angeles County lawsuit stemming from a car crash in 2022.

The Celtics’ ring night was a day of reckoning for the NBA
The apocalypse is now for the Eastern Conference.
Now ascendant, the Boston Celtics have begun their coercive crackdown on contenders and pretenders alike. The New York Knicks, perhaps the only team in the East with the talent to do something about this, were embarrassed by Boston on opening night. Is there any hope?
In their active offseason, acquiring both Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks were planting the seeds of revolt against the Celtics.

On a recent episode of the ‘No Laying Up’ podcast, Wyndham Clark delved into what the PGA Tour should do to welcome back LIV golfers.
Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, is never afraid to express his opinion.
Whether it be his exuberant self-confidence—he once proclaimed himself a better player than Rory McIlroy—or his declaration that the greens at Pinehurst No. 2 were “borderline” unplayable ahead of this year’s U.S.

Alexander Albon will try and bounce back after a ‘tough weekend’ in Austin at the Mexico City Grand Prix
Formula 1 heads to Mexico this week for the Mexico City Grand Prix, a race that poses one of the most unique characteristics of the entire F1 season. With the track in Mexico City situated at over 7,000 feet above sea level the altitude — and thinner air — has implications for the cars and the drivers.

Caitlin Clark is about to get a massive offer for just 3 months of basketball.
The brand new Unrivaled women’s 3-on-3 basketball league is set to make a ‘Messi-like’ offer to Clark, according to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports. The deal would reportedly pay the Indiana Fever superstar guard $1+ million as well as have other financial incentives and equity in the league.
Clark is reportedly expected to get a $1+ million salary offer to join the tournament that conveniently takes place during the WNBA’s offseason and runs from January for only EIGHT WEEKS.

Every college football season we get a few lucky (alright, sometimes not so lucky) fans who are caught on broadcast cameras and begin making the rounds as the Internet’s new favorite meme. However, I’m always curious to hear how they’re handling their newfound fame, and in the case of Texas Longhorns fan Grant Walther, we do know, and it turns out he’s handling it pretty damn well.
Walther was caught on camera as the Longhorns were dropping last weekend’s game against the Georgia Bulldogs and promptly memed into oblivion.

The former No. 1 pick has another shot at turning things around.
The Carolina Panthers are turning back to Bryce Young to start against the Broncos on Sunday after it was announced Wednesday that Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb in a minor car accident.
Dalton was driving with his family on Tuesday afternoon in Charlotte when they struck another car. Little is know about the nature of the crash itself, other than nobody was injured seriously enough to receive medical attention at a hospital.

Would Los Angeles really pull the plug on the Matthew Stafford era with another loss? A lot of factors point to a trade making sense.
