The 25-year-old Hoggard spent Summer League with the New Orleans Pelicans, following five years in college. Hoggard played four years under Tom Izzo at Michigan State before transferring to Vanderbilt for his final collegiate season. In his four years at Michigan State, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound guard averaged 8.6 points, 4.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.9 steals while shooting 41.0 per cent from the field, 30.3 per cent from distance, and 74.7 per cent from the charity stripe.

Murray-Boyles' performance at Summer League was a mixed bag per the box score, with some very high high's and some mediocre low's, but he immediately performed as one of the two best defenders on the roster (Mogbo was the only one giving him competition there) and displayed the overall floor game that high-impact players always do.

If training camp is any indicator, then the 10 man rotation is as follows: Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes & Jakob Poeltl as the starting 5; and they're flanked by Gradey Dick, Jamal Shead, Collin Murray-Boyles, Ochai Agbaji, Sandro Mamukelashvili. Now, it's my understanding that Coach Darko is planning to play deeper than 10 men on an average night.

Even before it landed Kevin Durant, Houston had embraced a surprising strategy for escaping the depths of despair. It paid above market value for NBA champion point guard Fred VanVleet, invested in a veteran wing in Dillon Brooks, and prioritized size and versatility from thereon out-ultimately resulting in 52 wins and the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

Sara Errani, a former mixed doubles champion, has criticized the U.S. Open's format allowing singles players rather than exclusive doubles teams, deeming it 'dishonest'.

Malachi Flynn's time in Toronto was largely marked by stifled development and a lack of true breakthrough. He hardly solidified a long-term spot within the Raptors' pecking order.

The Bucs started out 2024 on a 3-1 run, notching wins against Washington, Detroit, and Philadelphia, but a 1-5 slump would immediately follow.

Ochai Agbaji is likely to remain with the Raptors, as the absence of trade rumors suggests he will continue to play an integral role for the team.

Rickard Rakell is also coming off a career-best season, making him an appealing choice for teams seeking top-six forward options.

According to Rays president Erik Neander, McClanahan is still experiencing lingering symptoms and is not making significant progress toward a return to the mound this season.

Tyjae Spears is expected to be out for a few weeks due to a high ankle sprain he suffered during the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced the placement of outfielder Jonny DeLuca on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain, retroactive to August 7th.

"When I started, we were one of the bottom four teams in [B1 - Japan's top division]. The other three were relegated to second and third division, and we have become a solid program that's in a playoff hunt and has tons of runway ahead of us for the future."
