Portland Trail Blazers fans were concerned when Anfernee Simons left in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But no one was more upset than some random Midwestern guy who had the guard in a parlay.
The guy in question — who runs a gambling X account called “Michigan Made” — took to social media to air his frustrations to the team‘s official account.
“There goes everyones parlay msh injuries are ruining the fun of sports betting and rigging is at an all time high,” he wrote.

Nate Davis is gone, and Bears fans are happy.
The Chicago Bears signed offensive guard Nate Davis to a three-year, $30 million deal in free agency in 2023 to finally add some beef to a leaky offensive line. The signing almost immediately proved to be a disaster. Davis was in-and-out of practice with minor injuries from the time he signed the deal, preventing the Bears from forming the type of chemistry on the offensive line they desired. After a terrible first season with the team, Davis was somehow even less reliable this year.
Joel Embiid finally made his season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers in what was the team’s 10th game of the year, but instead of playing like a well-rested superstar, he played like a role player still asleep.
Embiid missed the team’s first nine games after sitting out the first six due to left knee management, which the league didn’t exactly buy given the team was fined $100k, and then missed three more games after being suspended for shoving a columnist after a loss to Memphis earlier in the month.

Nobody has exploded more than this young talent at Texas.
When it comes to freshmen in college basketball, arguably nobody has exploded more than Texas Longhorns five-star Tre Johnson, who has looked like the real deal through the first week of the season.
Johnson, a top-five recruit in the 2024 class, has immediately taken over a starting spot in head coach Rodney Terry’s lineup, playing a team-high 39 minutes in Texas’s 80-72 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the season opener.
Detroit has a complete team and might be the most dangerous group to face in January, especially at Ford Field. But that doesn’t mean the Lions can’t lose.
Erik Spoelstra pulled a Chris Webber in Heat loss, and Jalen Rose looked like he saw a ghost.
The Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons played a thriller to open up NBA Cup play on Wednesday night. Detroit led by 10 points with under four minutes left, but Tyler Herro hit three straight three-pointers to close the fourth quarter and help force overtime. In OT, Herro put the Heat up with a leaning bucket to give him 40 points on the night. That’s when things got weird.
The Pistons had 1.8 seconds left and trailed by two in OT after Herro’s make.
