Galatasaray MCT Technic president Dursun Ozbek updated the team’s connection to NBA Europe, revealing an invitation to join the new European league. “We received an invitation to NBA Europe,” he mentioned during a press conference on Friday, “Last month, we went to Geneva upon FIBA’s invitation.” Per Eurohoops sources, this invitation has to do with the discussion about what it means to join the league, and not a formal invitation to directly join the league. A partnership between FIBA and the NBA, widely known as NBA Europe, is in place to create a new top-tier club continental competition in Europe. “They wanted Galatasaray to be a part of it,” said the 76-year-old president of the Lions, “It hasn’t been finalized yet, but we received an invitation to such an organization. We will provide information at every step.”

Regardless of the outcome against the Pistons, Devin Booker confirmed to The Detroit News that he plans to attend the Detroit Lions' Divisional Round game against the Washington Commanders at Ford Field.

Now a musician who wraps under the name G3, his latest track “Tweaker” is legitimately good. Already played in NBA locker rooms (including the Bulls and Cavs) as well as NFL locker rooms (including the Lions), this song has garnered more than 2.7 million listens on YouTube since it debuted on WorldStarHipHop. It is the number one trending song on YouTube music (ahead of artists such as Tyler, The Creator as well as Lil Baby, Bad Bunny, and Drake). There is a deeply nostalgic feeling to this track that is reminding many listeners of what hip-hop sounded like in the early 2000s, which is one of the reasons it is such an immediate hit.

Fox has defended himself in recent days, both on X and in an interview with ESPN. League sources confirmed his stance, with Brown himself known to believe that Fox had nothing to do with the decision and that Ranadivé was the driving force behind it.
