Oh No He Didn't: Shams on rookie extensions for the rest of the 2023 draft class: "I'm told there is optimism with an Ausar Thompson extension in Detroit. And then I would also keep an eye on Cason Wallace, Brandin Podziemski, Jaime Jaquez...and Anthony Black who's also a high draft pick in that class. But I would look at both Brandon Miller and Ausar Thompson to have more and more conversations with their respective teams, the Hornets and the Pistons, in the upcoming days and weeks"

The new Trinity Arena in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District officially became Myles Turner Fieldhouse on Monday after Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner signed a sponsorship and pledge agreement with the district. According to the district’s Facebook post, Turner also handed a $2 million investment to the HEB ISD Education Foundation. A volunteer board runs the foundation. The post did not say how the $2 million will be paid out or how long the name stays on the building. HEB ISD voters approved a 2023 bond to rebuild Trinity, maintaining the campus’s “high school on a hill” character. Phase 1 included a new competition gym, expected to take about 15 months. Students could access the new athletic areas by mid-August 2026, with Phase 2 adding classrooms, cafeteria, and admin spaces.

Jokic was simply asked to clarify who is the best defender against him in the NBA. Serbian center shortly said "Everyone," before naming a full list of different players: "Everyone. Some teams defend very well as a unit, while others have excellent individual defenders. Zubac guards me really well, and so does Nurkic. I guess they’re just bulkier, so I can’t move them when we’re battling for position," he said. "I think Rudy Gobert is a great defender, even though I’ve historically played well against him. Jalen Duren, he’s undersized but tricky. Wendell Carter Jr. is also on the shorter side, and Myles Turner blocks a lot of shots. There’s no need to even talk about Wembanyama. They’re all good; the league is talented on both ends of the floor."
Looking back, what was that final season like, playing center for the Wizards and Pistons, joining the Bucks, and being traded multiple times? Danilo Gallinari: It was terrible. That's not the way that's not the way that I wish any player to finish their last season, the way that I finished it. I couldn't control any of it but to play at the five, which I never did and I never will, not even in my dreams. That's not my position. I never played it, and I will never play it, as I said, not even in my dreams, so it was a very tough situation for me to be not just a player on the court but also being in two rebuilding situations like Washington and Detroit. And then one of the biggest regrets that I have in my career is the choice that I made to go to Milwaukee for one year instead of signing two years with the Clippers, which I don't know if a lot of people know about. I had the chance to sign two years with the Clippers, and I signed one year with Milwaukee. So it's probably, when I think about it, the biggest regret; that would probably be the biggest mistake that I made. Any other choice that I did in my career was, I think, great; that choice, contract-wise and team-wise, was probably the biggest mistake.

NBA star Tyler Herro and his baby mama Katya Henry have split, and it's already getting nasty ... the exes are duking it out in court over custody and support after their bitter breakup, TMZ has learned. TMZ obtained dueling lawsuits filed by Tyler and Katya. The exes share two minor kids ... a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023 ... so this is no simple split.
In his filing, Tyler asked the court to set up a parenting schedule and determine how much he should pay in child support. The Milwaukee Bucks star said he had been voluntarily paying his ex support since she gave birth. Tyler dismissed his case days later. Katya filed her own petition claiming she had been in a romantic relationship with Tyler for nearly 7 years. She claimed she had been the primary caregiver and made most of the decisions for the kids.
In her filing, Katya asked the court for primary custody. She said she wanted their kids to see Tyler, but due to his "historical conduct," which she "intentionally omitted" out of respect for him, "safeguards and parameters should be implemented on a temporary and permanent basis in order to ensure the safety and well-being" of the kids.
