The Dallas Morning News and Texas Monthly both producing Pulitzer winners is so dang cool. Two of the three AAJA awards named today were Texans too, and the third an ex-Texan. There's so much journalism talent in this state and we should never take it for granted.

Also, as always, please support us by reading + subscribing at dallasnews.com. We’ll be at all home and road playoff games, and your support makes that possible. Finally, be sure to support all the great work of my peers on the Stars beat. We’re small but mighty!

And here's @KSherringtonDMN's column about the Wings interjecting when he asked Azzi Fudd a question about her relationship with teammate Paige Bueckers. dallasnews.com/sports/wings/a… via @dallasnews

Here's @t_myah's coverage of the Dallas Wings' introduction of Azzi Fudd on Thursday. "It all came back, always, to Azzi," as the best in a talented WNBA draft class, GM Curt Miller said. dallasnews.com/sports/wings/a… via @dallasnews

There will be a UConn reunion in Dallas this WNBA season. 👀 With the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA draft, the Dallas Wings select UConn's Azzi Fudd. Read more on the pick from our @t_myah here: dallasnews.com/sports/wings/a…

Tracking the odds: Cooper Flagg the favorite for NBA rookie of the year over Kon Knueppel 👀 @jamiedhancock |#MFFL dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…

After following his record-setting 51-point game with an extraordinary showing Sunday, Cooper Flagg is now favored over Kon Knueppel for NBA rookie of the year. dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…

Cooper Flagg is on a historic tear with another sensational game Sunday, @MikeACurtis2 writes. dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… via @dallasnews

Flagg ended the first half with 26, continuing to put some shine on his ROY campaign. Here’s what the Mavs put together to promote him to media voters: a water bottle, Topps basketball cards, an “Ain’t No Pressure” shirt and a receipt listing his achievements.

I've had to edit this post three times. Cooper Flagg has 14...17... now 19 points in the first quarter for the Mavs, fresh off his record-setting 51-point performance Friday.

This is only about half as excited as these kids were the moment LeBron James walked out to warm up.

PJ Washington and Klay Thompson warming up before Mavs-Lakers. Washington is off the injury report after missing three games with an illness.

@JoeJHoyt What a cutie!!

The Hoyts have made a big acquisition before free agency begins, per sources. Meet Posie!

With a school-record 32 wins, meet @LEBoysLoboHoops, Texas high school basketball's version of "The Process": the team that lives to entertain. “They want to see a show whenever they pay their money to come watch us play.” #txhsbb @SportsDayHS dallasnews.com/high-school-sp…

The work that @Lescarpenter, @barrysvrluga and @RickMaese have done during the past few weeks from the Olympics has been nothing short of spectacular. Their dedication to the readers despite the destruction of The Post Sports Department is the stuff of legends.

The Adelson-Dumont family isn't selling the Mavs anytime soon. It's quite the opposite, @townbrad reports.
