Here are our biggest takeaways from the 2024-2025 NBA schedule release.
The dog days of the NBA offseason are officially here, but there’s a light shining at the end of the proverbial tunnel. The 2024-2025 NBA schedule was released on Thursday afternoon for all 30 teams. The NBA will be back before you know it, and the WNBA has basketball fans covered until then.
Most of the NBA will host media day on Sept. 30 and begin training camp on Oct. 1 (the Nuggets and Celtics begin both a week earlier).

Wilmer Flores seemed destined to be a Met despite their best efforts.
Wilmer Flores wasn’t supposed to be here. Flores came up as a New York Met, grinding his way through their farm system since he was a scrawny teenager. And in 2015, he finally got his opportunity to be an everyday member of the big-league club. But on July 29 of that year, the Mets got rid of him. New York needed a big upgrade and agreed to part ways with Flores in a trade to acquire a big bat, Carlos Gomez.

The Los Angeles Chargers have decided not to take that step into an abyss of continual distraction and controversy by hiring Colin Kaepernick.
Unforced error averted.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday the former NFL quarterback who has been out of the league since 2016 after he gave rise to the (infamous) kneeling-for-the-national anthem movement around sports, will not be coaching or playing for the Chargers in 2024.
“I love Colin, and always will, and that gets conflated into he might play here or might coach here,” Harbaugh told reporters.

Charley Hull, who struggled in Paris, has bounced back at the Women’s Scottish Open this week at Dundonald Links.
Englishwoman Charley Hull has had a whirlwind of a month.
She sustained a shoulder injury after falling out of the shower, forcing her to withdraw from the Aramaco Team Series event in London in early July. Hull then missed the cut at the Amundi Evian Championship, an event she said she should not have played in.

Now THIS is how you be an amazing sports parent.
We’re still a little ways off from the start of college football and the NFL, but the best football video of the year has already dropped. It’s not a spectacular catch or a mammoth hit, but a mom heading straight from work to football practice to teach her son some blocking fundamentals.

This is just some A+++ parenting. Mom doesn’t go easy on her son and coddle him, but she’s patient, warm, explains why you block, and then praises him when he gets the technique down.

The United States women’s national team have reclaimed their crown at the top of FIFA’s women’s world rankings following victory at the Paris Olympics.
