The Eagles quarterback is gearing up to play in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is entering the final year of his rookie contract, meaning he is eligible for a contract extension this offseason. 
For Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey Lurie, there’s no question that he plans to extend the quarterback, especially as Hurts gears up to play in Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs.
“I don’t think he has anything to prove [to be the long-term answer at quarterback],” Lurie said, via ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio.

The superstar is set to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NBA all-time scoring record this week. This is how he got it done.
Erik Spoelstra would love to take credit. In four years in Miami, LeBron James measurably improved as a scorer. His three-point shooting percentages jumped. His post game developed. The final two seasons with the Heat were the most efficient of James’s career. Miami’s strong coaching staff is often cited as a reason for that development. Spoelstra says the credit belongs elsewhere.
“It’s LeBron,” says Spoelstra.

Jacob Trouba hit the defender trifecta.
I’m not sure anyone had a Sunday night game between the Rangers and Flames circled as a must-watch, but my God did it become one. New York eventually survived a Calgary comeback to win 5-4 in overtime, but the moment everyone is talking about on Monday is this hit from Jacob Trouba on Nazem Kadri.

Trouba absolutely distorted Kadri, then Dube jumps Trouba and gets beat up. #NYR (Full hit plus fight and replay) pic.twitter.

After all that Irving has put the franchise through, you could almost feel the collective sigh of relief in Brooklyn on Monday night.
Kyrie Irving was not in a Nets uniform Monday night or in the Nets’ arena or in their pregame hype video. He was not injured or suspended or banned or ineligible. He was not protesting or boycotting or defying team rules or government mandates. He was not skipping the game to ponder our political divisions.
Kyrie Irving was not in a Nets uniform Monday because Kyrie Irving, the NBA’s preeminent agent of chaos, is no longer a Net.
