The NBA’s Most Valuable Player, Joel Embiid, was named to the All-NBA First Team for the first time in his career as the NBA unveiled all three of its All-NBA teams Wednesday night.

The Suns’ dire situation in the Western Conference semifinals has gone from bad to worse.
Phoenix guard Chris Paul will miss Game 6 against the Nuggets with a left groin strain, the Suns announced Wednesday evening. Additionally, center Deandre Ayton is questionable with a rib contusion, according to the team.
Denver leads the best-of-seven series, 3-2.

The NBA released its All-NBA teams on Wednesday, an annual tradition of honoring the top players from the season. But as much as the day is about applauding great performances, it’s also about tracking the reactions from players who felt snubbed by being left off the illustrious lists.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant could likely be considered among the aggrieved.
Morant did not end up making any of the three All-NBA teams after earning a second-team selection last year. He was the top vote-getter among guards who missed the cut, with 10 second-team votes and 14 third-team votes.

The Colorado Rapids issued a statement Wednesday in which they revealed a player had been removed from all team activities in connection with unlawful sports gambling.
The announcement came amid reports that 21-year-old midfielder Max Alves had received a sum of money in exchange for picking up a yellow card during a match in the 2022 MLS season.
According to Gustavo Guimaraes of Territorio MLS, Alves’s name appears on a document which was released by Brazilian authorities, indicating he’d received R$60,000 (roughly $12,100 USD) to be booked in a match against the LA Galaxy.

Only one Watt brother — TJ — is currently on an NFL roster. TJ Watt, the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year, struggled with injuries last season but expects to return to full-strength in 2023 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. His brother, JJ Watt, retired from the NFL following last season with the Arizona Cardinals.
Their other brother, Derek, is a free agent. Derek Watt played three seasons in Pittsburgh alongside brother TJ, though on the other side of the ball.

Give credit to Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, whose good-hearted charity will help a hurting victim of the tragic Allen, TX., mall shooting.

When Bulls guard Michael Jordan walked away from the NBA for the first time in 1993, a new elite team quickly stepped up to fill the void.
After producing several quality teams in the 1980s, the Rockets put it all together in 1994 and ’95. In ’94, with Jordan playing minor league baseball, Houston topped the Knicks in seven games to win its first championship. In ’95, with Jordan still working his way back to game shape, the Rockets repeated by sweeping the Magic.
It’s widely believed by NBA fans and observers that Jordan’s exit enabled Houston’s rise.

Popular TikToker Eric Decker, who goes by Airrack, successfully made it into secure areas of Crypto.com Arena before a recent playoff game by impersonating Lakers guard Austin Reaves.
Decker documented the whole experience, starting with how he made sure to wear an outfit Reaves has worn to the arena before. He even put in color contact lenses to look more like Reaves, and he wore a mask over his mouth as well.
The social media personality then was driven to the arena, passing security guards outside the venue and inside the building.
