“The turning of a page.”
Suns star Devin Booker has always been defined by youth. Friday he turns 30 — a defining chapter of his career.

"The team and [Anthony Edwards'] people felt that the injury he had in the playoffs was addressed... it's certainly a worsening, or a somewhat different condition than what he felt in the playoffs last year."
@JonKrawczynski on why Anthony Edwards didn't have the knee procedure that could cost him half his season over the summer.

His coach calls him “one of the faster guys in the NBA.” He’s barely made any jumpers, but he’s tied for the league lead in “stocks” and has some of the best on/off numbers on his team.
Here’s how the Zaccharie Risacher reclamation project is going in Dallas at this very early point in the season: nytimes.com/athletic/7729676…

According to a memo obtained by The Athletic, the WNBA sent out the “playoff hold dates” to team presidents, GMs and scheduling contacts on Dec. 4, 2025.
So why didn’t the Dream secure State Farm Arena? In part, it’s not their primary arena.

From last night: The Suns called their opening-night loss a “wake-up call.” No team has ever needed one so early.
In a get-right Game 2, they were better, but not much.

The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.
Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.
Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.

Words like “culture” and “standard” will be thrown around in the early days of this new Bulls regime. As Chicago embarks on a new era, I tried to understand what it feels like in the building.
“It’s just a feeling. Like, ‘We can do more. We can achieve more.’”

Relocation hangs over the Blazers' negotiations with Portland. It has gone unsaid in public, but not privately, sources said, though Tom Dundon said it's “not a conversation.”
Dundon: “We are working to keep the team in Portland. That is the priority.”

LSU's football roster. Priorities, yo
You gotta wonder where the government funding is going in Louisiana if their ambulance roofs aren't even made of metal.
Sick spot by Je'Von Evans off an insanely high ladder! #MITB

Mavericks fans were furious with owner Patrick Dumont after the Luka Dončić trade. Nearly two years later, Dumont says the focus is on competing for a championship.
He spoke exclusively with @christianpclark about Cooper Flagg, Mark Cuban and more.
