In what almost sounds like an April Fools’ joke, Meechie Johnson has announced he will transfer back to South Carolina for a second time.
Johnson entered the transfer portal late last week and it didn’t take long for him to find his new/old home once again. For those keeping track, Johnson began his career at Ohio State in 2020 where he would spend two years with the Buckeyes. He then transferred to play for the Gamecocks for the next two seasons. He would have his most productive collegiate season in 2023-2024 averaging 14.1 points, 4.

An Atlanta Hawks fan’s brutal tumble lit up the internet Tuesday night after he crashed hard and likely shredded his ACL in the mess.
The Hawks hosted the Portland Trail Blazers at home, and during a timeout, this random Hawks fan stepped up for a quick skills challenge.
His 15 seconds in the spotlight ended fast with a nasty fall on a layup attempt.
It’s April 1 — April Fools — so my prank radar was pinging, but that injury looks real as hell.

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson, Jr. cleverly highlighted his team’s recent struggles after a bruising loss to the Boston Celtics. 
JJJ admitted that being part of the bad-luck Grizzlies isn’t the worst fate, quipping that there are worse things — like being homeless.
“We’ve had wins, we’ve had losses, ain’t no reason to feel crazy,” Jackson told the media. 
“It could always be worse, you could be homeless.” That’s an interesting choice of words.

The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the “New Jersey Americans”.
Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.

NFL players haven’t been shy about expressing their desire to play in the Olympics.

Given Oklahoma’s series loss to Tennessee at home over the weekend, Tuesday’s game against UT Arlington presented a good opportunity for the Sooners to simply bounce back.
They did, and it was the young players that led the way. The Sooners logged 14 hits and a pair of home runs, as they routed the Mavericks 13-2 in five innings.
For the offense, it was an all-around effort led by the freshmen. Tia Milloy got things started with an RBI single in the second inning that scored two runs and give the Sooners an early 2-0 lead.

Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill are among those who have expressed interest.
“I’ve heard directly from a lot of players who want to participate and represent their country, whether it’s United States or the country that they came from,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday.
