Breaking: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers' Luka Doncic and Pistons' Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell @ShamsCharania.

@SamQuinnCBS @AndrewDBailey You can argue the Spurs are the luckiest franchise in the history of pro sports
English
I’ve said this a few times, but between lottery reform and the CBA, I’m afraid we’re creating this environment where the Thunder and Spurs got to build their teams as they saw fit and then the rules change immediately after making it harder for anyone to build to oppose them.

The 2 teams with the best shot at sustainable success in this cap environment (OKC & SAS) got there by losing a ton of games, trading players for picks, and hitting on said picks It’s been a copycat league for decades; no surprise that others would try to follow that model.

@AnthonyIrwinLA You don't think that the concessions aren't all going up next week? Come on now
English
I sincerely don’t understand why anyone would have any problem with even the team they root for getting fined. It doesn’t impact winning at all. They cut a check and move on.
English
@KevonLooneyMuse @LegionHoops @ShamsCharania @flasportsbuzz The NBA is about to over correct and make a lot of dumb new policies
English
@LegionHoops @ShamsCharania @flasportsbuzz So now the worst team in the league will never get the #1 pick

DEVELOPING: The NBA is discussing creating a tournament among lottery teams to determine draft order in order to stop tanking.
(via @ShamsCharania, h/t @flasportsbuzz)
English
Tanking fines is like paying the luxury tax in the prior CBA.
If it gives you a competitive advantage, or in this case, a chance to draft (and keep) an impact player, billionaire owners will pay the fine.
Now if we start taking away roster resources, that’s a different story.

$500K conduct detrimental to the league fine for Utah. $100K player participation policy fine for Indiana

@GetUpESPN @WindhorstESPN They are only complaining because this style has a greater impact on gambling, and the NBA is protecting some of its biggest advertisers.
It’s not any more or less ethical to actually be playing the players instead of sitting them with fake injuries every game.
English
"Tanking historically has been done on the inactive list. ... What's happening here is that they're putting the reins on players who are active in games."

@Brett_McMurphy You can do whatever you want when you’re the undisputed top conference in college football
English
Indiana, Nebraska, Penn State, USC & Washington are only Big Ten teams that do not play a Power 4 non-conference opponent in 2026. Big Ten only P4 league that doesn't require its members to play 10 P4 games. Washington faces Wash St, which was in P5 league when game scheduled
English
@GlassHalfUte The only school pride that exists comes from the fans. I don’t even listen to the coaches lip service anymore either
English
Committed to Utah.
Decommitted from Utah.
Committed to Tennessee.
Decommitted from Tennessee.
Committed to Utah.
Entered the portal.
Going to Michigan.
Yeah…
You either want to be a Ute, or you don’t.
Good riddance, kid.

Utah 2026 signee Salesi Moa has entered the transfer portal, @mzenitz and I have learned. He was the state of Utah's No. 1 recruit in the 2026 class and No. 76 overall nationally. 247sports.com/player/salesi-…

@MissyWhit Residents of Utah have a major inferiority complex no matter the fanbase. They think they are being disrespected by Kyle taking coaches and players that he hired or recruited. It will blow over in a couple months.
English
My dad devoted nearly 30 years of his life to Utah football. As his daughter, my whole childhood was shaped by the sacrifices my dad made for Utah football. Seeing a lifetime of loyalty, sacrifice, and dedication being dismissed so harshly now is heartbreaking.

@ClayTravis Meanwhile, Washington misses out on other candidates to replace him
English
Washington’s quarterback reportedly signed a new contract with the Huskies a week ago. Now he says he’s heading to the transfer portal. Buckle up. This one may get wild.
English
Demond Williams signed a deal to return to Washington last week. It will be interesting to see this unfolds with that deal at Washington in place. Sources indicated to ESPN that the deal he signed was near the top of the market.
Pete Thamel@PeteThamel
Washington QB Demond Williams is entering the transfer portal, per a source. He’ll have a do-not-contact tag on his entry.
English
This guy on his podcast analyzing Mark Williams reluctance to Punch Jose Alvarado and everyone else’s negatives in what they should do, but continues to leave his team high and dry when they need him most is amazing!
Hoop Central@TheHoopCentral
Draymond Green has been ejected for arguing with the officials.
English
@BartleKSLsports Since everyone is hating this hire, it will probably be a home run
English
The big reason for this hire is the fact that McGiven's system and terminology is very similar to Jason Beck's.
Steve Bartle@BartleKSLsports
Utah has named former Utah State OC, Kevin McGiven it's newest offensive coordinator. kslsports.com/uncategorized/…
English
@RealTonyGarcia He’s shocked that there are fans in attendance for the basketball team
English
Kyle Whittingham introduced at Crisler Center to a standing ovation and deafening roar.
The first thing he does? Shout out Dusty May and the hoops squad. He was flanked by nearly his entire coaching staff.
The Kyle Whittingham era has arrived.

Official: Give a warm welcome to Jason Beck, our new Sanford Robertson Offensive Coordinator!

@ClayTravis When is the last time that Alabama straight quit in a game? 👀
English
Upon reflection, it may no longer be necessary for this Tweet to be saved.
Clay Travis@ClayTravis
Alabama is going to beat Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Save this Tweet.
English
@GlassHalfUte If it’s ARod, then no, it won’t be the case. I’m hoping it’s someone new and not a recycle.
English
Remember one year ago when Utah had absolutely nothing in the offensive room remaining… and the offense got rebuilt and turned into one of the best offenses in the country the next season?
It can happen again.
English
Sources: Utah OC Jason Beck has informed Utah officials that he's taking the offensive coordinator job at Michigan.
