The former 49ers quarterback is one of the top free agent signal-callers available.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is likely to draw interest from at least three teams when free agency opens next week, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The Panthers, Raiders and Texans are all likely to engage with the 49ers quarterback.

There are some fireworks ahead of tonight’s Golden State Warriors-Memphis Grizzlies game.

Everyone knows about his three-point revolution, but Lopez’s scoring goes beyond that and is critical for the Bucks.
The transformation has been justifiably belabored to a fine pulp. Once a low-post scorer with defensive foibles and an aversion to long-range looks, Brook Lopez progressed into a preeminent 3-and-D center who earned an All-Defensive Second Team nod in 2019-20. The vast majority of hoop heads know he attempted only 31 triples his first eight seasons and has hoisted 2,191 in the 6.5 ensuing seasons.

Anthony Richardson could end up being the first quarterback selected in the NFL Draft when it is all said and done.

Anthony Richardson Is Fastest Rising Player On NFL Draft Boards, Might Be Biggest Gamble In First Round

Richardson is a freak athlete. He was built in a lab.

No animal is at the center of more inspirational phrases than dogs, and UCLA men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin is acutely aware of this.
“Legs feed the wolf,” “hungry dogs run the fastest,” and many other idiomatic expressions about dogs and eating are plastered across locker rooms at every level.
Cronin went a step further and rounded up a giant dog bone.
With that, the “Deflection Bone” was born.
“When they throw the food out at night from a restaurant, the law of the alley says that the hungry dog’s going to get the bone,’’ Cronin told USA Today.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the former All-Pro may become a free agent.
After nine seasons with the Vikings, former All-Pro wide receiver Adam Thielen’s time in Minnesota may be coming to an end. 
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that there is a “real possibility” that the Vikings release Thielen in the coming days, as the two sides prepare to meet. Thielen, 32, is coming off a season in which he caught 70 passes for 716 yards and six touchdowns.

A much-needed win over Portland was a good start, but Boston’s problems run deep.
Inside TD Garden on Wednesday, there were some unusual sights: Jaylen Brown laughing. Marcus Smart smiling. Fans cheering. The Celtics winning.
OK, not that unusual. Boston’s 115–93 win against Portland was its 46th of the season.
It kept the Celtics within two games of Milwaukee for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and maintained a two-game cushion over Philadelphia for second.
