New @chron: I think Alperen Şengün will remain in Houston this summer. But, if he’s traded, remember this from a Western Conference player re: the center + guard pairing of Şengün + Reed Sheppard. “You can have 1 bad defender there, but not 2. It just doesn’t work.” More ➡️ chron.com/sports/rockets…

Rough spring for Alperen ends with an unfortunate designation in an anonymous NBA player survey. An anxious summer will follow. More ⬇️ on a superb offensive talent in an awkward basketball situation. chron.com/sports/rockets…

@ProFootballTalk Isn’t that always the sticking point? This is going to end so poorly .

Reading the tea leaves from the latest Aaron Rodgers reporting, the biggest sticking point between Rodgers and the Steelers is how much he'll be paid for a second season in Pittsburgh. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@JLEdwardsIII 1 for last 8

@JLEdwardsIII They’re one for last seven

76ers have gone cold from 3 here in the last few trips. Knicks lead by two.

@sportsrapport And I’m sure he was disappointed to see what it has become.

The headlines on Ted Turner at news sites are like highlighting CNN the most. Kind of funny but that’s like 10th on the list of what he did in his life/career in terms of what I personally care about

@JLEdwardsIII Paul George is not even hitting the rim on his jumper. They just need six minutes of disruptive defense .

Knicks keep scoring, they just can't get a stop.

@JLEdwardsIII The free throw disparity, Maxey and George having great halves and Towns not available for most of the half and only down one is pretty remarkable .

Despite getting whistled for a million fouls in the first half, New York only trails Philly by 1. Knicks’ defense sparked a quick lead to end the half, spearheaded by Josh Hart. New York forced 10 Philly turnovers.

@JLEdwardsIII I don’t think he’s missed in the series.

PG-13 is Rated R to start this one.

@JimmyTraina Same ! Home teams should always wear white .

I get irrationally infuriated every time the Knicks don’t wear white uniforms at home.

Future Houston Comets guard Hailey Van Lith? Connecticut didn’t share contract details for the former TCU star, fwiw. Might simply be a one-year deal. Will circle back if/when I find out.

@DOBrienATL If I was Austin. I would absolutely shave my beard after this nightmarish start to the season. Not that I’m superstitious or anything.

Safe to say, not anywhere near where Pérez was trying to put that 3-1 changeup to Julio Rodríguez — over the middle of the plate, might as well have been on a tee. Pitched very well until then, but that was quite costly in such a pitchers’ duel.

@FredKatz Aren’t we all.

Nick Nurse said Embiid is day to day.

@adams_at @Buster_ESPN Shows you what a truly great start the Braves are off to.

2026 Team Potential WAR Loss Due to Injury I worked with Claude to partially replicate Dan Szymborski’s Sept analysis: blogs.fangraphs.com/which-teams-ha… Days missed estimates come from FanGraphs RosterResource or CBS Sports. WAR loss is prorated preseason or updated ZiPS estimate.

Sit back, take an edible, and think about how "Obama needs $1 billion for a ballroom" would get covered in 2011.

@bryancurtis @jasongay Oh fantastic ! Glad we get Jason back as well.

New Press Box w/ @jasongay about Ted Turner's legacy in news and sports and rasslin' coming later today

@JLEdwardsIII With this news, I’m strangely more concerned for the Knicks tonight.

@DOBrienATL Swashbuckler is such a great way to describe Ted Turner!

R.I.P., Ted Turner. Philanthropist, swashbuckling businessman, visionary iconoclast, firebrand owner, charismatic individual. Helluva dude. The world needs more like him. To say he helped make Atlanta and the Braves what they are would be a colossal understatement.

Trump's approval rating is in the low 30s. He couldn't bully Paxton out of TXSen. He lost a massive referendum in Virginia. Republicans haven't won a single special election. He's getting dog walked in Iran negotiations. Nice wins in the Indiana state senate primary tho.

@ESefko Same
