The Brooklyn Nets have signed, drafted, and traded for players from virtually every state in the US, and much of the wider world beyond the United States. From Alabama to Wyoming, and from Australia to Ukraine, the Nets have a long and distinguished history of turning over every stone to find the talent needed to succeed in the NBA.
From their start in the American Basketball **** ociation (ABA) as the New Jersey Americans and New York Nets to their jump to the NBA as the New Jersey Nets right through to today, the organization has cast their net for talent wide since the inception of the ball club.
For this installment of our series documenting the provenience of every Nets player to suit up for the franchise, let's take a look at every player from California who has played for Brooklyn.
Our focus in this article is Brandon Armstrong. An alum of Pepperdine, he was picked up with the 23rd overall selection of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets.
The San Francisco, California native played the first (and only) 3 seasons of his pro career with the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets, leaving the league as a player afterward.

George Armstrong, a fitness influencer who is known for preaching against cheating, found himself accused of the very thing on Friday when his account was accused of doing just that.
The posts came from his wife, Bailey Scarlett, who accessed his account and released a series of slides that appeared to be Armstrong confessing to cheating on her with Indonesian prostitutes and Dubai escorts. The posts were taken down quickly after they were published, and Scarlett later apologized, explaining that the behavior described in the slides did not take place during their relationship.
Each slide was written from Armstrong's point of view and addressed his followers, who are used to seeing him share fitness tips. The first slide was rather harsh.
Published on his Instagram, it said: "I like to cheat on the mother of my child and wife bailey.scarlett with Indonesian Prostitutes. And I definitely don't practice what I preach on Instagram, I also w**k to p**n and frequently get escorts in Dubai. But I will act like it's the most weakest thing in the world on Instagram to other men and shame them for it! I have no respect for the mother of my child or my wife. I am no outstanding father anyone should look up to. I am nothing more than a cheat who has portrayed this image for Instagram but sadly that's all it is. An image:)"
The slide was a direct hit on Armstrong's carefully constructed image.

Pistons rumors: Jalen Duren feels 'disrespected' amid Detroit extension stalemate appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As All-NBA center Jalen Duren and the Detroit Pistons inch closer to the October 1 deadline, there are reportedly no signs of the two reaching an agreement. Duren and the Pistons remain at a stalemate amid negotiations on a potential contract extension ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The Sacramento Kings' reported interest in acquiring Duren was mentioned in addition to the All-Star center's frustration. The entire contract negotiating process over his future with the Pistons isn't sitting well with Duren, according to ESPN NBA Today's Marc Spears.
"Scott Perry ain't playing around; neither is BJ Armstrong," Spears said. "Scott Perry has a relationship with Jalen Duren dating back to when he was trying to get the Knicks to draft him, which they did. But they traded him to the Pistons. Scott Perry also has NFL ties from his father. Duren's agent is an NFL agent. So, he has a connection with him, and Duren likes Scott Perry a lot. He likes Sacramento a lot. The Pistons are focused on bringing him back. They have some optimism, but it's complicated.

The Cubs lost two of three to the Braves in Atlanta back in May, scoring only five runs in the series.
That was so long ago that Pete Crow-Armstrong batted ninth, eighth and ninth in the three games and Moisés Ballesteros was the starting catcher in the series opener.
Since that series ended the Cubs are 55-51 and the Braves 58-48, only three games apart. Now both teams are trying to nail down postseason positions, the Braves the NL East ****** le and the Cubs the first wild card spot.
For more on the Braves, here's Demetrius Bell, manager of our SB Nation Braves site Battery Power.
The last time these two teams squared off, everybody invested in the Braves was hoping that what they'd seen from this team over the first month-and-a-half of the season was legit. Here we are in September and the Braves have a very tight grip on the NL East lead and they're still fighting for the second seed in the National League, so I'd say that this team has proven to be legit.

Luke Kuechly spent his playing career making sure he never had to guess where the ball was going. But these days, the harder question is guessing which network has him next.
CBS announced Monday that the newly enshrined Pro Football Hall of Famer will make his debut as a CBS game ****** yst in Week 3, calling Raiders-Saints from New Orleans alongside play-by-play voice Chris Lewis and sideline reporter Amanda Balionis.
A radio ****** yst for the Carolina Panthers, Kuechly's stock skyrocketed in recent months as he became Netflix's top NFL game ****** yst after auditioning with Noah Eagle at NBC's Stamford, Connecticut studios in early July. Eagle said Kuechly's football knowledge was never in question — that much was obvious from his playing days — but what stood out during their audition, a mock call of a game from the previous season, was how quickly he got comfortable in the chair given he'd never done the job before. Eagle told Sports Media Watch that it felt like Kuechly "could see things happening before they happen."
He justified that faith in his Week 1 debut, as Awful Announcing's Megan Armstrong wrote that he dazzled alongside Eagle in Melbourne, with the reaction across sports media running overwhelmingly positive.
The streamer is expanding its NFL package from two games to five this year, including the opening-week matchup in Australia, a Thanksgiving Eve game, and a Saturday night game in Week 18, and Kuechly is expected to anchor most of that slate. Between Netflix and his new CBS ****** ignments, he's on pace to call somewhere in the range of eight to 10 games as a game ****** yst this season, on top of his usual Sunday work as a Panthers radio ****** yst. Kuechly is also replacing Bill Belichick opposite Peyton Manning on The Breakdown.

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: $COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong said that he believes Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) has officially bottomed and expects it to move higher over the next two years.
"I personally think we've seen the bottom of the Bitcoin price in this cycle," said Armstrong in a media interview.
Armstrong, who runs the Coinbase crypto exchange, added that he doesn't anticipate another downturn in Bitcoin's price until the next halving event that's expected in about two years.

Manchester United have announced a multi-million pound, multi-year shirt sleeve sponsorship deal with British financial technology company SumUp.
United had been without a sleeve sponsor since the four-year partnership with DXC Technology came to an end in the summer.
The SumUp branding will be seen for the first time on Thursday, when United return to the Champions League with an Old Trafford encounter with Azerbaijan champions Sabah. It will be worn by the club's men's, women's and academy teams across all competitions.
United also say they will launch a "co-branded payment card" with SumUp, "which will offer fans special offers and rewards when used with official club outlets, as well as businesses across the UK".
The club's chief business officer Marc Armstrong said: "SumUp is a rapidly growing global business and we are delighted to welcome them to Manchester United as our official sleeve partner.

"This is a case about swinging ****** s," wrote Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in March. "You may think that swinging ****** s shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion. You're not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa—some as young as thirteen—to be visually ****** aulted by the real thing."
VanDyke was dissenting from the 9th Circuit's decision not to revisit Olympus v. Armstrong, a case that saw an all-female Korean spa sue on First Amendment grounds. The business, according to the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC), had broken the law when it declined to accept a preoperative transgender woman. This was a problem for Olympus Spa, which requires nudity in its pool area, and whose business model, relatedly, hinges on catering to a single-sex clientele.
In ruling against the business last year, the 9th Circuit acknowledged the thorniness of the case. "We are not unmindful of the concerns and beliefs raised by the Spa," wrote Judge M. Margaret McKeown. "Indeed, the Spa may have other avenues to challenge the enforcement action. But whatever recourse it may have, that relief cannot come from the First Amendment."
Olympus Spa is now taking its case to the Supreme Court. McKeown and VanDyke, whose vulgar approach elicited a rebuke from 27 of his colleagues, may appear irreconcilably at odds. In some sense, they are. Yet the rival sensibilities also help paint a more complete picture of a complicated case, one that naturally provokes strong reactions but for which there may be no immediately satisfying answer under the Constitution.
The ordeal traces back to 2020. Haven Wilvich, who has identified as a "nonbinary trans woman," lodged a complaint with the WSHRC after being turned away from the Olympus Spa location in Lynnwood, Washington, for having a ****** . (The spa says it accepts postoperative transgender women.) The Washington State Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) bars discrimination based on many characteristics, including ****** ual orientation, which the state defines as encompassing "heterosexuality, ****** ****** uality, bisexuality, and gender expression or identity."

Pete Crow-Armstrong does something no Cubs player has ever done before originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to establish himself as one of baseball's brightest young stars, even as the Chicago Cubs experienced a disappointing ending to their weekend in Miami.
Crow-Armstrong blasted his 40th home run of the season Sunday during Chicago's 10-3 loss to the Miami Marlins, reaching a milestone that placed the 24-year-old in elite company both within Cubs history and across Major League Baseball.
The home run came in the fifth inning when Crow-Armstrong launched a 403-foot solo shot that temporarily tied the game.
With the blast, he joined Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber as the only players to reach 40 home runs this season.

In just a few weeks, Pete Crow-Armstrong is expected to join Ernie Banks in a select group: Chicago Cubs players who have won National League Most Valuable Player honors.
Yet PCA has already one-upped Mr. Cub in one category.
Crow-Armstrong became the youngest player in franchise history to hit 40 home runs, reaching the honor on Sunday, Sept. 6 with a low line drive just inside the right field foul pole at loanDepot Park, a game-tying fifth-inning shot off Miami Marlins right-hander Tyler Phillips.
While the Cubs would go on to lose the game 10-3, there's little to stop the Summer of PCA.
He's now second in the major leagues with 40 homers, trailing only Philadelphia DH Kyle Schwarber's 42, and his 8.6 WAR leads all position players. At 24 years, 165 days old, Crow-Armstrong is 49 days younger than Banks was when the Hall of Famer hit his 40th home run in 1955, the first of his eight consecutive All-Star seasons.

The U.S. Open has become one of New York's hottest places to see and be seen. But the tennis players and tennis fans would occasionally like people to watch the tennis.
Players at this year's tournament have complained about an influx of influencers and content creators disrupting matches with photo shoots, bright lights and videos. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka stopped play Friday for a distinctly New York complaint: Someone was smoking weed.
"Someone is smoking weed," Sabalenka told the chair umpire during her third-round match against Kamilla Rakhimova at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Play resumed and Sabalenka won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.
The interruption follows growing debate over the atmosphere surrounding this year's U.S. Open, where the number of credentialed content creators has doubled from last year.

CHICAGO — Pete Crow-Armstrong has taken the baseball world by storm this season, and as the final month of the regular season gets underway, he's on the precipice of accomplishing something pretty remarkable.
In recent years, in whichever league Shohei Ohtani plays in, the MVP award has become a battle for second place behind the two-way superstar. Ohtani has taken home the award in four of the past five seasons, including two in a row since joining the Dodgers.
But over the past two months, Crow-Armstrong has done something that has rarely happened: He has become the clear frontrunner ahead of Ohtani in the race for the NL hardware. And not only has he taken the lead, but he's now pulling away from the four-time MVP.
"I'd be crazy to say I don't want to win an MVP," Crow-Armstrong said last month. "But if we're talking about priorities, I think I have mine pretty straight. It's not even on the forefront of my mind. It's fun to joke about, and it's fun to acknowledge, and it's absolutely OK to pay attention to, but it's not, like, following me up to the plate."

Aryna Sabalenka briefly halted her US Open match against Kamilla Rakhimova because of a strong smell of cannabis before cruising into the fourth round in New York.
Top seed Sabalenka raised the issue after going 3-0 up in the first set against Uzbekistan's Rakhimova, telling umpire Eva Asderaki-Moore that "someone is smoking weed".
The Belarusian asked the umpire to intervene "because it's so strong".
Asderaki-Moore spoke to an official on her radio and made a smoking gesture to someone behind her, before play continued.
Two-time defending champion Sabalenka went on to secure a confident 6-3 6-4 victory on Louis Armstrong Stadium as she chases a fifth Grand Slam singles ***** le.

Meyer Shank Racing has confirmed that Mick Schumacher will join the team for the 2027 IndyCar season. After Indianapolis 500 champion Felix Rosenqvist left MSR for Arrow McLaren, MSR has decided that Schumacher will be his replacement.
Schumacher is out the door at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing after RLL agreed to sell one of its three charters to Dreyer & Reinbold Racing ahead of the 2027 season. With Graham Rahal and Louis Foster already under contract at RLL, Schumacher was the odd man out after just one season with the team. Now he'll become Marcus Armstrong's teammate at MSR.
"I'm super excited to be working with everyone at Meyer Shank Racing and really excited to be joining such an ambitious team," Schumacher said in a news release. "It's going to be a special journey to start working with MSR. I am looking forward to what more I can learn from the team. They've had some really great success, and of course, going to an Indy 500-winning team is awesome.
"It will be great to start meeting everyone on the team and working with MSR's partners. I'm really just excited to begin working toward 2027 together and really start thinking about how we can create a great partnership together."
Schumacher will pilot MSR's No. 66 Honda, which Armstrong has driven for the past two years. When Armstrong signed a multiyear extension with the team in July, MSR announced that he'd switch to Rosenqvist's car, the No. 60 Honda.

Alex Eala is one of tennis' brightest rising stars. On Wednesday night the 21-year-old Filipino won her first round US Open match against Mary Stoiana (6-1, 6-2) inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. She'll take on Oleksandra Oliynykova in the second round on Thursday afternoon at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
As a young tennis star at one of the sport's marquee events, you would think she'd be starstruck by the tennis royalty, but she had a surprising answer when one reporter asked which athlete she'd like to swap jerseys with.
Her answer, without hesitation, was Jordan Clarkson.

NEW YORK — In a small room on the second floor of an Episcopal church in Queens, a large printer beeps and whirs, spitting out posters inked with bright yellow tennis ****** . Fluorescent prints line the walls; a bible sits on the table. The song "Salamin, Salamin" by Filipino girl group Bini plays from a computer.
This is where Pau Tiu, 32, has spent the week designing and printing posters, in support of rising Filipino tennis star Alex Eala.
Just four miles away, Eala beat the United States' Mary Stoiana, 6-1, 6-2 Tuesday night in her 2026 U.S. Open debut. On Thursday, she will take on Ukraine's Oleksandra Oliynykova in Louis Armstrong Stadium, where a new run of posters from Tiu's studio, Bad Student, will feature in the crowd.
Eala has been making tennis history for years, representing a country that loves to show up for its stars. In August, the 21-year-old became the first Filipino player to win a WTA Tour singles ****** le, beating No. 3 Jessica Pegula in the D.C. Open final. In Washington, just as in Toronto, Dubai, Melbourne and other cities all over the world, the Filipino diaspora came out in droves to support their new heroine.
Tuesday night in Queens was no different, as Eala fans filled the 14,000-capacity Louis Armstrong Stadium with Filipino flags and roaring cheers.

British number one Katie Boulter was dumped out of the US Open in the second round as she won just one game in a 58-minute demolition by Karolina Muchova.
The match, originally scheduled to be played on one of the outer courts, was moved to the 14,000-capacity Louis Armstrong Stadium after heavy rain in New York.
But fans who had counted themselves lucky to have gained a third match on their day session ticket may have been left feeling short-changed, as Boulter fell to a swift 6-1 6-0 defeat by the Czech seventh seed.
Francesca Jones had better fortune as she returned to win her first-round match against Poland's Magda Linette after it was interrupted by rain on Tuesday.
Boulter's serve let her down as she hit eight double faults and no aces, while she won just 33% of points behind her first serve.

Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski has taken the big leagues by storm and, in his first full season, is the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award.
Misiorowski draws a ton of eyes and national media attention, which is very rare for a Brewers player. He has caught the eye of nearly every baseball fan with what he does to the radar gun, and Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martínez sent him a message on X.
"Misiorowski: Keep trusting what you have and don't fear anyone!" Martínez wrote on X before the Brewers took on the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. "I trust you, so trust yourself!"
The Brewers and Cubs played on TBS on Tuesday night, so Martínez was part of the crew breaking down the game. Misiorowski will take the mound on Wednesday in Game 3 of the four-game series, and surely every fan will be tuned in to see what he does against MVP frontrunner Pete Crow Armstrong.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is seeking a fourth straight Most Valuable Player award, but online prediction markets show that someone else may already have the award in the bag.
Los Angeles native and Dodgers hater Pete Crow-Armstrong, center fielder for the Chicago Cubs, has taken a commanding lead according to Fanatics Markets, which require a $0.93 buy to get $1 if he wins MVP.

Ohtani, meanwhile, requires a $0.92 buy to get $1 if he does not win the MVP, as opposed to $0.08 for him to be named MVP.
Ohtani, who won the AL MVP award in 2023 and NL MVP in both 2024 and 2025, was the presumptive winner for much of the season, but a pair of factors have damaged his candidacy.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed standout wide receiver Andrew Armstrong to their practice squad on August 31, just a day after the team released him during its preseason roster cuts.
Armstrong, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent last year, signed a future/reserve contract with the Chiefs on January 6, 2026, after playing in stints for the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions.
A former Arkansas Razorback, Armstrong made a great impression on Kansas City's fans at Chiefs training camp and was among the team's most productive prospects during the preseason.
Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen revealed Armstrong's signing with Kansas City in a post to his official Twitter account:
While Armstrong isn't likely to be on the Chiefs' gameday roster early in the NFL regular season, he may get the chance to become a key contributor to Kansas City's offense if injuries affect the team's receiving corps later this year.

NEW YORK — As the clock struck midnight in Queens, Sofia Kenin and Venus Williams had yet to play a single point on Arthur Ashe Stadium, as the previous five-set match between Novak Djokovic and Mariano Navone went four hours and 36 minutes, with the 24-time Grand Slam champion being sent packing in the first round of a major for the first time in 20 years.
The ladies took the court a mere 10 minutes after the calendar turned to Aug. 31, and when the crowd had finished rubbing their eyes, yawning, and trying to stay awake, Kenin dispatched the 46-year-old two-time US Open champion 6-2, 7-6.
Because of the late start, the match was supposed to be moved to Louis Armstrong Stadium, but both players said they wanted to stay at the original venue at Ashe.
Williams was making her 26th main-draw appearance at the US Open and still had a doubles tournament to play in with her sister, Serena, after receiving a wild card to compete, just as in her singles entry. She was also making her 96th Grand Slam appearance, the most in the Open Era.

#open #stadium #match

NEW YORK (AP) — Venus Williams bowed out of her 26th U.S. Open singles appearance early Monday morning, falling in straight sets to fellow American wild card Sofia Kenin after not getting on the court until midnight.
The 46-year-old lost 6-2, 7-6 (6) in what could be the final singles match at a Grand Slam, if not her illustrious career. It was Williams' 14th consecutive singles defeat dating to her last victory in Washington in July 2025.
Williams has now lost six in a row at the U.S. Open since winning in the first round in 2019.
She and her 27-year-old opponent waited extraordinarily long to take the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium, delayed by Novak Djokovic's 4-hour, 36-minute defeat to Mariano Navone that threatened to move them next door to Louis Armstrong Stadium. The men's action ended just in time to play on Ashe — but not before making some history.
At 12:13 a.m., it was the latest start to a match at the U.S. Open, six minutes later than the previous record of Aryna Sabalenka against Ekaterina Alexandrova in the round of 32 in 2024.

Pete Crow-Armstrong did it again.
A day after hitting three home runs in a 17-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago Cubs slugger posted another multi-home run effort Sunday. Only this time, it didn't lead to a win.
Crow-Armstrong's second home run of the day managed to cut Chicago's deficit to two runs in what ended in a 7-5 Reds win. But another remarkable day at the plate gave him five home runs in two days and further bolstered Crow-Armstrong's case in what's turning into a runaway MVP case past Shohei Ohtani in the National League.
Crow-Armstrong immediately picked up where he left off from Saturday's three-home run outburst. He turned on a 99 mph full-count fastball from Chase Burns to lead off the bottom of the first inning with a home run that he deposited into the right-field bleachers at Wrigley Field.
The blast gave the Cubs an early 1-0 lead. It marked his fourth home run in a span of seven at-bats.

CHICAGO — Rookie Sal Stewart homered for the third straight game to help offset two more home runs by Pete Crow-Armstrong, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-5 on Sunday night after rain delayed the start 25 minutes.
Dane Myers hit a go-ahead homer off Shoto Imanaga (8-10) leading off the fifth inning and Tyler Stephenson followed with a two-run shot after a single by Elly De La Cruz for a 6-3 lead. De La Cruz left after that with left quad tightness.
Stewart homered for the 31st time — off Trent Thornton — for the Reds' final run in the seventh.
Crow-Armstrong homered leading off the first against Chase Burns (15-3) to give the Cubs the lead. It his fourth in seven at-bats after hitting three Saturday in a 17-5 victory over the Reds. The NL's MVP front-runner hit his 38th homer — a solo shot off Reds closer Emilio Pagán in the ninth before the right-hander finished off his 19th save.
Burns allowed three runs — two earned — on six hits in 5 2/3 innings as Cincinnati beat the Cubs in the rubber game of the series after losing six of seven matchups previously.

Tottenham have reached an agreement with Everton to sign Iliman Ndiaye, with Richarlison set to move in the opposite direction, according to The Athletic.
Ndiaye is set to leave Goodison Park, with the Senegal international now closing in on a move to Tottenham for around £60m.
Richarlison, meanwhile, will return to Everton in a £35m deal, having previously spent four years at the club before joining Spurs in 2022.
Everton have also decided against selling Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, according to The Telegraph.
The midfielder had been the subject of a bid from Forest, but Everton have now opted to keep hold of the 19-year-old.
