The New York Knicks season-opener for the 2026-27 NBA season is proving to be one of the most valuable regular-season games in recent memory.
The Knicks brought the city its first NBA ****** le in 53 years and re-established basketball as a city-wide passion. With a ****** le-defense campaign ahead in the 2026-27 season, the energy is still high.
The Knicks will open the season on October 20 against the Philadelphia 76ers, receiving their championship rings and raising their championship banner into the rafters.
The Knicks opened their season against the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, but this season opener is proving to be more significant, as prices are reportedly up 526% on secondary markets from last season.
"The cheapest seats on the secondary market for the Oct. 20 opening night game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden cost $1,346 a piece, including fees, according to data company TicketIQ. That is a massive 526% increase from the 2025 home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which had a final get-in price of $215."

The stars weren't out in the night sky just yet Saturday at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, but there were some sightings on the sidelines.
In one of the biggest Texas football games of the season against Ohio State, celebrities, politicians and Texas Exes came to Austin and were spotted throughout the sidelines. Earlier in the day, ESPN "College GameDay" featured Sen. Ted Cruz, who was booed by the Longhorn faithful and Austin native; movie star Glen Powell as the guest picker on the show.

Of course, other Austin celebrities were out and about - what is a night game at DKR without Longhorn superfan Matthew McConaughey. He also brought out his friend and "True Detective" co-star Woody Harrelson who was seen chatting with athletic director Chris Del Conte. Gov. Greg Abbott was there, too.
Then there were the sports legends of the school in attendance. Former men's basketball player and current Houston Rocket Kevin Durant was seen throwing crisp spirals and chatting with former football head coach Mack Brown. Former running back Ricky Williams and quarterback Colt McCoy were also spotted as well as former Texas volleyball player Madisen Skinner.

Former Florida State forward Alex Steen suffered a setback in his effort to secure another season of college basketball eligibility, according to Chris Nee of Noles247. Leon County Circuit Court Judge David M. Frank denied Steen's verified emergency motion for a temporary and preliminary injunction on Friday, Sept. 11. Steen is suing the NCAA in an effort to obtain a fifth season of eligibility for the 2026-27 season.
Steen and attorneys representing both sides appeared before Frank for a hearing on Sept. 2. The former Seminole is part of the 2022 high school class and played four consecutive college seasons without redshirting. His lawsuit challenges his exclusion from the NCAA's new eligibility framework that provides five seasons of competition to athletes from the 2023 class and beyond.
Under Florida law, Steen needed to satisfy four requirements to receive a temporary injunction: a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, no adequate remedy at law, irreparable harm without an injunction, and a showing that granting relief would serve the public interest. Frank determined Steen had not met the necessary standard.
The court found Steen's claimed losses involving practices, workouts, team activities, recruiting conversations, and professional evaluation were not supported by sufficient evidence and remained speculative. Frank also wrote that potential lost NIL income could be measured financially and therefore addressed through monetary damages.
Frank additionally determined a temporary injunction would not serve the public interest, reasoning that granting one player another season could affect roster spots, playing time, scholarships, and revenue-sharing allocations for other athletes.

A horse named Coach Pope, after Kentucky basketball head coach Mark Pope, picked up his first win in a Maiden Special Weight race at Churchill Downs during the first weekend of the track's September Meet.
The 2-year-old colt, who entered the race as a 1/1 favorite, pulled away to win by 1½ lengths. Coach Pope completed the one-mile race on a fast track in 1:35.77.
Ridden by Jose Ortiz — who won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes aboard Golden Tempo, as well as the Kentucky Oaks with Always a Runner — Coach Pope broke well and raced close before breaking away after the final turn, passing Fullback and Justification.
Congrats to KennyMcPeek & jose93_ortiz & Coach Pope sired by the legendary Tapit on a massive 12.5 length victory ChurchillDowns today!
AND CATS up by 4 at half! Let's Go! pic.twitter.com/lG7GxRomh9
The colt is trained by Kenny McPeek and owned by Gainsway Stable, Shamrock Stables and Michael J. Mackin.

More than 30 years ago, all over the walls of a high school about an hour west of downtown San Antonio, the signs started appearing.
In breezeways, next to lockers, and around the cafeteria, the motivational slogans kept popping up, some scrawled in magic marker on poster board, and others printed out on long sheets of dot-matrix paper. They were hung by a D'Hanis baseball coach who wanted to remind students that they could win anything with the "RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE," and that "PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS," and that "WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING."
A bunch of clichés, maybe, but harmless ones. The coach meant well, and his team wound up winning state.
One of his colleagues, though, was a world-class wiseacre, and couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun. Bill Lovett coached boys basketball and taught history. And above the chalkboard in his classroom one day, there was a long dot-matrix printout bearing a slogan of his own creation.
"AN ELEPHANT IN DISGUISE IS STILL BIG," it read.

For the second straight week, Aday Mara was in-person at Oklahoma's college football game. But for reasons that the football-crazy fanbase wants to know. The 7-foot-3 center made the trip to Michigan to cheer for his Wolverines and celebrate his collegiate year there.
Mara attended No. 11 Oklahoma's shocking 17-10 loss to Michigan on Saturday. At halftime, the Wolverines' men's basketball team was honored. They had a dominant 37-3 record and brought home the 2026 national championship. Alongside Yaxel Lendeborg and Morez Johnson Jr., Mara was part of a monstrous three-headed frontcourt.
Mara's decision to transfer to Michigan was life-altering. He became a household name and eventually the No. 12 pick of the 2026 NBA draft. He averaged 12.1 points on 66.8% shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 ***** ists and 2.6 blocks in his sole collegiate season there.
The Oklahoma City Thunder hope Mara can have a similar type of impact at the NBA level. The 21-year-old is one of the tallest players in the league already. Because of that, he should be a constant paint-scoring threat and be one of the best shot-blockers.
Now, the conditioning and shooting are the main areas of concern. The Thunder hope he can improve both aspects in his rookie season. In an ideal world, he won't be relied upon to help from the jump. Rather, spend the year working on his craft in low-leverage situations.

It should surprise exactly no one that players, who were out of eligibility under NCAA rules, going through NFL training camp and filing lawsuits to play college football for another year was the last straw.
A week later, the Protect College Sports Act, dead in the water a month ago, is close to passing the Senate because the chaos finally got to be too much. It is, according to Team Chaos, bad for athletes.
It appears Sen. Thune has enough votes to pass the Protect College Sports Act.
Last night, I contacted many U.S. Senators’ offices to tell them the truth about the bill.
The PCSA is bad for athletes. A lot of money is being spent in an effort to convince people otherwise. pic.twitter.com/tShgI0sp9T
This is what happens when you make everybody despise you.
When your position is that you have to have megaconferences, more ******* ding of revenue by the conferences at the top, a stupid college basketball Thanksgiving week event in Las Vegas backed by all the worst people in existence (the Emiratis and David Ellison chief among them), more private equity backing, more helmet games, unlimited transfers, unlimited tampering with mid-major rosters, unlimited college eligibility and freedom to go back and forth between college and the pros as you please, all so that athletes can maximize their earnings…

Sophie Cunningham is at the center of new boyfriend rumors, and fans have plenty to say about the WNBA star's reported love life!
Speculation surrounding the Indiana Fever guard's relationship status has been making the rounds online, with social media users weighing in on who could have captured her attention.
Cunningham, who has been making headlines since joining the WNBA, went viral on social media on Friday, August 11, when some fan pages posted pictures of her on a boat during the current WNBA break with someone they claimed to be her new boyfriend.
According to an account, Cunningham's new man is Frank Adams, the head athletic trainer at Grand Canyon University, who also works with the school's men's basketball program. As per The Sunday Guardian, the two were previously linked in March when fans noticed Adams in Cunningham's social media updates and at GCU events. While neither one has confirmed the relationship, the alleged couple's sightings have continued to fuel dating rumors.
In March, Cunningham's social media followers spotted a mystery man in the background of one of her selfies. Although the image did not clearly show his face, some eagle-eyed fans began suggesting that the man could be Adams.

Senator Ted Cruz sent a dire warning if Congress does not pass the Protect College Sports Act. In about five years, in Cruz's estimation, football and other sports will be in an unrecognizable state.
The biggest things for Cruz are the transfer rules and a hard out on eligibility for college athletes. You get one free transfer and five years of eligibility in total, which ends regardless of how many years used once you turn the age of 24. Keeping that in place, along with an even playing field when it comes to NIL, this is the best solution for football, basketball, wone's sports and other Olympic sports, per Cruz.
$19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage
"There are no rules, and the situation with the transfer portal, where kids go and transfer two, three, four, five times, it's terrible for the game. It's terrible for the players. It's terrible for the schools, and it's terrible for the families," Cruz said on College GameDay. "And so the reason Congress is acting is because Congress created this problem. It was the federal antitrust laws that were used to bring the lawsuits that struck down all the rules, and so the Protect College Sports Act is bipartisan legislation that's very simple.
"It brings order to chaos. It protects the students, protects the student's ability to be compensated to receive name, image, and likeness compensation, I think that's only fair. It's only right."

LeBron James has faced criticism throughout his basketball career. On Friday, former NBA lottery pick Olden Polynice took aim at LBJ for falling short of a certain statistical feat.
Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Polynice (who was drafted eighth overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1987) gave James his props but proceeded to chastise the 22-time NBA All-Star.
"I love LeBron. I really do. I think he's one of the greatest ever… But, at the same time, I can still be critical of him on some things. One in particular: I thought LeBron should have averaged a triple-double way before Russell Westbrook. That's my personal opinion."
Polynice, who transitioned to coaching after playing 15 seasons in the NBA, went on to make an explosive claim about LBJ's career.
"Believe it or not, this is going to be the weirdest thing ever uttered. I believe LeBron James underachieved."

After an emotional 20-point comeback win at Ponte Vedra, Merritt Island played its first home game of the season against district foe Astronaut on Sept. 11.
The Mustangs showed no hangover effect, scoring five touchdowns and one field goal on six offensive possessions to defeat the War Eagles 45-0.
"I thought we came out and played a really clean game. That was the big point of emphasis this week. Last week, we had about 19 penalties in the first quarter and 27 overall and that's not indicative of what we are as a culture and as a football team," Merritt Island head coach Tyler Murray said. "We got after them a little bit this week. We played really smart. We celebrated with our teammates. We were firing on all cylinders."
It was a balanced offensive distribution for Merritt Island as five different players scored a touchdown. The Mustangs finished the game with 428 yards on 27 plays.
"We want to play basketball on a football field," Murray said. "We want to distribute the ball as much as we can."

It was a balanced offensive distribution for Merritt Island as five different players scored a touchdown. The Mustangs finished the game with 428 yards on 27 plays.
"We want to play basketball on a football field," Murray said. "We want to distribute the ball as much as we can."

Milwaukee Bucks star Kyle Kuzma has expressed his discomfort over Colin Cowherd's question aimed at Sophie Cunningham.
In a matter of a few months, Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham's popularity has skyrocketed among basketball fans.
However, it has more to do with her off-court comments than her performance in the WNBA. In fact, veteran ****** yst Colin Cowherd took it a step further when he recently slammed a weird label on Cunningham.

Cowherd invited Cunningham as a guest on his podcast, where they discussed a plethora of things. However, one clip from the interview went viral.

NBA ticket prices are turning live basketball into a luxury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The NBA sells access to its biggest moments, but opening-week prices for the 2026-27 season suggest that access increasingly belongs to fans with deep pockets. SeatPick examined the 41 games on the schedule from Oct. 20 through Oct. 25 and calculated a $326 average ticket price across the league.
That figure already represents a serious commitment for one seat. The market becomes even more extreme around marquee teams and matchups. At the opposite end, several fanbases can enter the building for a fraction of that amount. The result resembles two different NBA experiences: one that invites broad participation and another that treats entry as a luxury purchase.
Demand will always separate a major event from an ordinary night on the schedule. Still, a league fueled by emotional investment should care when its most devoted supporters can follow the moment more easily than they can afford to witness it.

DETROIT — His college career unfrozen by a judge, Orlando Lovejoy is headed to the frozen tundra.
Lovejoy, who starred for Detroit Mercy men's basketball the last two seasons, has committed to fellow Horizon League program Green Bay for his fifth and final season of eligibility.
Lovejoy was among hundreds of college athletes from the high-school class of 2022 who were granted a fifth season of eligibility through temporary restraining orders from judges across the country. The NCAA recently announced a five-year eligibility window, starting with the high-school class of 2023.
Lovejoy, 23, was one of the top point guards in the Horizon League the last two seasons, and in 2025-26, he was first-team all-league as he led the **** ans to within a whisker of the league tournament championship and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Lovejoy, a Detroit native, started all 31 games for Detroit Mercy in 2025-26, and was top 10 in the league in scoring (15.8 points), **** ists (3.7) and steals (1.6). He made free throws at an 89.2% clip.
Lovejoy spent his first two college seasons at Eastern Michigan, before transferring to Detroit Mercy after the school hired Mark Montgomery as head coach. He contemplated transferring after his first season at Detroit Mercy to capitalize on NIL opportunities, but he ultimately returned to the **** ans and led them to the Horizon League championship game, in which they led much of the game before falling to Wright State, 66-63.

Florida basketball senior guard Denzel Aberdeen is taking his case to return to the basketball court to the judicial courts.
Aberdeen has filed a temporary injunction for a fifth season of eligibility to play for the Florida Gators, according to a report from the Field of 68.
"Denzel Aberdeen, a senior at Florida, should be allowed to compete as a student-athlete under the NCAA's 5-in-5 rule," Aberdeen's attorney, Jesse Panuccio, said in a statement provided to the Field of 68. "But the NCAA has announced an unwritten exception to its rule that strips Class of 2022 students from this policy, even though they competed for years against fifth-, sixth-, and sometimes seventh-year seniors who received Covid-era eligibility waivers. The NCAA's decision violates its contractual commitment to fairness to all student-athletes, and we have sued to vindicate Aberdeen's rights and get him back on the court as he finishes his degree at UF."
As a member of the Class of 2022, Aberdeen wasn't grandfathered into the NCAA's new 5-for-5 rule, which allows for college athletes to play for five seasons within five years of eligibility.
On July 31, a Colorado court ruling by U.S. District Court judge Charlotte Sweeney (Tyson, Wisne v NCAA) granted an extra year of eligibility to Aberdeen and every athlete in the 2022 class without requiring an NCAA waiver. But on August 22, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay in the Wisne ruling, which now places the onus back on athletes to fight for their NCAA eligibility in state courts.

Kate Moss, Jordyn Woods, Elle Fanning and more stars took their footwear back to basics at the front rows of spring 2027 New York Fashion Week. The stars opted out of the flashier shoe trends popping up on the runways. Instead, they punctuated their looks with classic pointed-toe pumps, breathing new life into a timeless classic. Kate Moss GC Images Moss attended the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show at The Plaza Hotel on Thursday. The supermodel went for a laid-back ****** on-up and jeans look, but elevated it by wearing the Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 105 high-heel style in black. The Gianvito 105 is the luxury shoe designer's signature style. The shoes are crafted from a rich, smooth napa leather and are defined by a sleek 105mm stiletto heel and a statement pointy toe. The shoes feature a flattering, low-cut vamp that exposes the front of the foot. Elle Fanning GC Images Fanning attended the Coach spring 2027 fashion show at Basketball City on Wednesday.

After four big wins in the quarterfinals, the United States, France, Spain, and Germany all earned their spots in the semifinals. Saturday's two matchups will be intense. Each team left in the competition can find its way to the finals. Let's take a look at the two semifinal games.
France has been putting up insane statistics during this tournament. Between breaking the single-game three-point record and heavily outscoring their opponents, it is safe to say they are the team to beat. However, this semifinal clash against Germany, who have home-court advantage, will be their biggest test of the tournament.
The good news for France is their depth. There are many strong players who have been coming off the bench and making an impact. One of those players is none other than Marine Johannès. Johannès ranks eighth in the tournament in points scored per game with 16.5. She is currently leading the tournament with 16 three-pointers made so far. Once again, Johannès is not starting in games and making a strong impact each time.

Meanwhile, starter Gabby Williams has been playing some of her best basketball in the World Cup. If she continues this strong play, France has a strong chance to make it into the finals.

Sophie Cunningham has become one of the most talked-about figures in women's basketball. Whether on or off the court, Cunningham's outspoken personality has built a large following for herself and has recently added a new platform to that reach.
The Indiana Fever guard launched a podcast called "No Hesitation" alongside trainer Drew Hanlen. Her debut episode was released on Thursday. During that episode, she addresses the storytelling path she believes the WNBA media should tread. Also, she highlights things she could do differently if she held certain governmental powers over the game.

So far in the season, Cunningham has averaged 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 ***** ists per game, demonstrating her central role to her team's success all-year-long. During the show, Cunningham touched on players' remuneration, the WNBA media coverage, and even the outgoing commissioner's office. An NFL-themed X page, Franco Vision, shares snippets from the conversation.
"We're always as players going to want more money, and as owners they're always not going to want to give it to you…"When it comes to media coverage, I think that we have good coverage now. Yes, it can always be better. Yes, it can be bigger."

Katie Lou Samuelson missed all of last season in the WNBA due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Now she'll miss the end of the 2026 season, also because of a knee issue.

Stephen Curry has made up his mind about re-signing with the Warriors, Veteran reporter says originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
One of the biggest questions surrounding the Golden State Warriors is whether Stephen Curry is re-signing with the team or if he'll head into free agency after the 2026-27 season. He's obviously the face of this franchise, along with Draymond Green, so it would be a huge blow to see him go.
But, this is the NBA, and just look at what happened with LeBron James leaving the Lakers after eight seasons. So, anything can happen in this league.
Now, one veteran Warriors beat writer is **** erting that he knows exactly what Curry will do when it's time to sign on the dotted line. He says Curry is staying in Golden State.
Longtime NBA journalist and The Athletic columnist Marcus Thompson II spoke with HoopsHype about his new book, "Game Changers: The GOATs Who Revolutionized Basketball," and during the talk, he discussed Curry's future.
