Matt Barnes: "I feel like Steph is not going nowhere. I think Steph is going to be on that Kobe, ride the ship till it sinks type situation, extension where he took less money to hopefully give the team some flexibility. I like Yaxel, killer, big kid, not afraid of the moment, a **** talker. One of those kids that stayed in college, I think he is 23 or 24 now as a rookie, so he is ready to go."

Sexyy Red could be facing a $5 million judgment in a lawsuit brought by the grandmother of one of her children, but the money has not been awarded.
Nicole Barnes is asking a judge to enter a default judgment after claiming the rapper failed to respond to the case, according to new court documents obtained by TMZ. Barnes sued ****** yy Red in March 2025 over allegations that the rapper posted her home address online and encouraged followers to attack her.
Barnes says ordinary efforts to serve the lawsuit were unsuccessful and that she later served ****** yy Red through publication in a newspaper. She now argues that the lack of a response entitles her to a default judgment for $5 million.
Sexyy Red is disputing the underlying case. Her attorney Jason Lampert told TMZ that the claims are "baseless and completely without merit" and said the rapper categorically denies the allegations and intends to defend herself. The judge has not yet ruled on Barnes' request.
Barnes filed the lawsuit on March 24, 2025, after an alleged social-media incident the previous December. The complaint alleges that ****** yy Red, whose legal name is Janae Wherry, posted Barnes' Hazelwood, Missouri, address and a photograph of her home on Facebook before encouraging her followers to "kick in the door" and harm her.

We are only two days removed from Kentucky Football hosting the Alabama Crimson Tide as Will Stein tries to make some major noise in only his second game as head coach. The BBN is rocking, and many are believing an upset could happen at Kroger Field on Saturday. That will take a healthy roster, and fortunately for the Cats, it looks like they will have that.
When the first injury report dropped Wednesday, Kentucky got great news, as four major pieces of this team did not appear on the report: Jovante Barnes, Teryhon Nichols, Hasaan Sykes, and Malachi Wood. That means we should see them take the field for the Cats on Saturday.
Several reserves still appear on the report that weren't expected to play much, including backup offensive lineman Jay Clark, who has already been ruled out.
For the Crimson Tide, if you missed it yesterday, they will be without wideout Noah Rogers. Starting offensive lineman Michael Carroll also remains doubtful. This would be a major blow for the Tide's o-line in their first road game.
Not much movement tonight. Now, we wait until Friday to see if we get any surprise names.

Barnes cracked a smile as he was joking about the Lakers team and then went on to praise them for building around Luka Dončić. "But again, man, when you've got Luka and AR [Austin Reaves] out there, to me two of the best scoring guards in the league. They added some depth," Barnes said. "To me, I just got to see it. Everyone wants to give a hot take and predict what they feel like they're gonna do."

"Matt Barnes, Stephen Jack; all those people were investigated. Gilbert Arenas, Corey Maggette, Cutino Mobley; thousands of NBA players were investigated. They just let some of them go to jail. Some of them, the fed got, like, Tony Allen. He didn't go to jail. Whatever he did to get free."

Over a 14-year NBA playing career, Harrison Barnes' polished and erudite demeanor has earned him the moniker "The Senator" from teammates.
This offseason, Barnes has perhaps required a new nickname: "The Banker."
That appellation is a literal one.
In the months since the Spurs ended their run to the NBA Finals, their 34-year-old veteran forward went out and bought himself a whole entire bank.
Barnes committed $25 million to purchase Community State Bank in Paton, Iowa, a community bank located 40 minutes outside his hometown of Ames, Iowa.

The Portland Trail Blazers star Ja Morant has officially put his Memphis days behind him, as he no longer has a home in the city where he was drafted. The former Grizzlies player sold his two-story mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, for a reported amount of $3.2 million earlier this week after initially listing it for $3.5 million.
He initially paid $3.05 million for the mansion and has since made a $150,000 profit on the sale four years after buying it in 2022, when he signed his $197.2 million max contract with the Grizzlies. The house reportedly has seven bedrooms and spans 13,836 square feet on 6.45 acres.
'Homes of Celebs' got an inside look at the property. They described that it has a beautiful foyer, a home office, a living room with a built-in bar, a formal dining room, a kitchen, a private lounge, an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closets, a salon, a poker room, a billiards room, a sauna, a movie theater, and much more.
This property is apparently just 62 feet away from a property that he bought for his parents with his first contract in 2019. Morant reportedly has a net worth of $50 million and has already earned about $150 million through 2026 of his $236.8 million in guaranteed career earnings (leaving almost $87 million in future earnings over the next two years).
The 27-year-old begins a new life in Portland with the Trail Blazers, now looking to bounce back from a controversy-ridden 2025-26 season in Memphis. Former NBA players Isaiah Thomas, Matt Barnes, and Stephen Jackson feel all eyes will be on Ja Morant in 2026-27 for a comeback season.

Newcastle United travel to North London on Saturday still searching for their first league win of the season, having twice led at home to Liverpool before a stoppage-time penalty earned the visitors a point. Matthias Jaissle's side backed that performance up with a 3-2 Carabao Cup win over West Bromwich Albion in midweek.
Newly-appointed captain Dan Burn remains out with ankle ligament damage, and Joelinton (groin) and Tino Livramento (calf) are also sidelined. William Osula is still nursing a foot injury and remains unavailable. New signing Bazoumana Toure scored against West Brom despite "feeling a bit of pain" during that match and is expected to be fit for Saturday.
Nico Gonzalez, unveiled to supporters as a £50 million signing from Manchester City before the West Brom win, could be handed his Newcastle debut, though that would likely mean either Lewis Miley or fellow new arrival Sean Steur making way.
Anthony Elanga, who opened the scoring against Liverpool, is expected to be preferred to Jacob Murphy on the right, while Harvey Barnes, who scored twice against West Brom, and Toure compete for the left-wing spot.
With Osula still unavailable, Nick Woltemade is set to retain his place in attack alongside Yoane Wissa. Amar Dedic, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall are expected to form the back four in front of Lukas Horníček, who has taken over as Newcastle's goalkeeper for the time being.

Over the summer, the basketball world sadly lost a legendary figure. Former NBA player, coach and Hall of Famer Don Nelson passed away at the age of 86-years-old in early August. While the NBA world is still mourning the loss of the coaching visionary and five-time champion, the Warriors will pay tribute to their former coach when they suit up for the 2026-27 NBA season.
On Wednesday, the Warriors announced they would be wearing a special band on their jerseys for every game during the 2026-27 NBA season featuring the word "NELLIE". The patch will sit near Golden State's jersey sponsor on one of the shoulders.
Via warriors on X:
Nelson played 14-years in the NBA, winning five championships with the Boston Celtics before starting a legendary coaching career. The former Iowa Hawkeye went on to coach a total of 31 seasons in the NBA, including two stints with the Warriors over 11 seasons. Prior to joining the Warriors bench, Nelson coached 10 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Nelson then joined the Warriors in 1988, leading Golden State to the postseason behind Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway. Nelson then went on to coach the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks. Nelson returned to the Bay Area in 2006, leading the Warriors back to the playoffs with the "We Believe" Warriors featuring Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes and Al Harrington.

The summer of 2026 has been a big one for the NBA. Besides major trades and ownership drama, we've seen several players call it a career, including Russell Westbrook and Kyle Lowry. Of course, there's also point guard legend Chris Paul, who retired back in February after being released by the Clippers.
In the case of Paul and Westbrook specifically, their NBA stories may be over now, but the fun is only just getting started. According to NBA veteran Matt Barnes, the former superstars are planning to link up for an epic vacation, where they will bring their wives to honor their storied careers.
"I just talked to CP two days ago," said Matt Barnes on 'All the Smoke.' "He and [Russell Westbrook] are going on vacation. They're taking their wives on vacation. So, two of the greatest PGs are going to kick it up in the sand, have some drinks, and really just celebrate because this is the end of Russ and CP's careers. **** of a run, bro. One of the most feared point guards we've ever seen. I remember him in his heyday with the Lob City team; he was a monster."
It's never easy for an athlete to walk away from their favorite sport, but it's a moment that comes for every player. What comes next varies from person to person, but it really depends on how involved they want to be with the game. While some ex-players (like Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter) opt for media roles, others (like Jason Kidd) accept a coaching job. There are also those like Tim Duncan, who stay out of the limelight entirely.
We don't yet know which category Russ and Paul will fall into, but it's likely they need this vacation after the way they ended things. For Chris, his final stint with the Clippers was supposed to be a final send-off for his career, but things turned ugly when they struggled to win games. As much as he tried to right the ship, Paul alienated himself from the organization by overestimating his authority and making the wrong impression in the locker room.

Rick Barnes continues to weave his Tennessee basketball team together through summer practices, trying to build some chemistry as each new face learns the system. Two of those key guards have yet to take part in those practices, however, both battling through injuries.
Tyler Lundblade, Tennessee's first pull out of the transfer portal, has been sidelined with a back injury. Barnes has said the Volunteers are being cautious with him, but he's nearing being back to full strength.
"As with Tyler, he's just putting one foot in front of the other, step by step, just trying to continue to improve, and just work towards getting healthy," Tennessee **** istant coach Amarrow Morgan said today. "He's very close to being there, for sure."
Lundblade shot 43 percent from three-point range last season at Belmont, scoring over 15 points per game. The 6-5 shooting guard was named the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year.
Another guy nearing full strength is Troy Henderson, who returns to Tennessee for his sophomore season. Henderson has been dealing with a shoulder issue that dates back to last season.

It would appear New York Giants defenders aren't too happy with running back Cam Skattebo after he started another fight at practice on Wednesday.
According to the New York Daily News' Pat Leonard, Skattebo got into it with cornerback Greg Newsome after nearly taking out multiple Giants defensive backs with a slide after making a catch on one rep.
Leonard adds that Skattebo's "act is getting old" with his defensive teammates, especially after he "ran over linebacker Zaire Barnes" at an earlier practice.
"Cam Skattebo started a fight in practice today. He slid down after a reception and came dangerously close to taking out a couple Giants DBs' legs. The defense isn't allowed to hit," Leonard wrote.

Hayden Panettiere reportedly gave security strict instructions. The detail has emerged following her death at age 36. The actress and singer had told security to keep ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson away from her Manhattan book signing.
The incident reportedly happened while the Sleepwalker star was promoting her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. According to The New York Times, her private security team was instructed to prevent Hickerson from entering the Barnes & **** le event.
Panettiere and Hickerson dated on and off from 2018 to 2022. Their relationship included multiple domestic violence incidents, and Hickerson pleaded no contest in 2021 to two felony counts of injuring a significant other. He received a five-year protective order and served 13 days of a 45-day jail sentence after credit for time served.
In This Is Me: A Reckoning, Panettiere opened up about the abuse she said she experienced during their relationship. The 36-year-old wrote, "I never wanted to call myself a victim, but here I am. It's part of my story whether I want it to be or not."
The actress also described how violence escalated over time. Panettiere said, "You never forget the first time someone slaps you nor do you forget the last."

After the Detroit Lions' 2025 disappointing season—a playoff-less 9-8 year—analysts have gone one of two ways with the future in Detroit. Some believe their Super Bowl window is closing or closed. Others believe it was a temporary step back, and they'll be back in contention in 2026. Well, you can count ESPN's Bill Barnwell as one of the people in the latter category.
On Monday, Barnwell put together his annual list of NFL teams most likely to improve in 2026, and the Lions were one of five teams listed. Barnwell's methodology for these list typically involves a set of statistics that tend to regress (positively or negatively) to the mean each year. That includes strength of schedule, records in close games, turnover margin, and point differential.
When it comes to the Lions, Barnwell pointed to several metrics that indicate Detroit could be in for a bounce-back season. One odd one was Detroit's terrible recovery rate on fumbles. Per Barnwell, Detroit recovered just 29 percent of fumbles last year, which not only was last in the league, but it was "just the fifth time since 1990 that any team has failed to recover at least 30% of fumbles in a season."
Barnwell also points to injuries as something that should (hopefully) regress to the mean in the Lions' favor in 2026.
"Detroit was last in adjusted games lost on defense, where the only starters who suited up for all 17 games were Derrick Barnes, Jack Campbell, Aidan Hutchinson and DJ Reader," Barnwell wrote.

As per a new report that has surfaced after Hayden Panettiere's unfortunate demise, the actress suffered from physical pain during her final days. Not only that, she banned her ex-boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, from attending her book signing. For those unversed, first responders reportedly found the "Heroes" alum unresponsive and in cardiac arrest at an Airbnb residence in Greenville, South Carolina. Despite the medical team's best efforts to resuscitate her, doctors declared Panettiere dead on August 16 at 2:32 p.m.
As per a new report by The New York Times, the late Hayden Panettiere suffered from excruciating pain, likening it to "pins and needles" in her legs during her final days. Moreover, she also gave Barnes & ****** le "clear instructions" to keep her ex-boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, "away" during the Manhattan book tour in May. For that reason, the "Nashville" star had also recruited private security.
According to TMZ, his brother, Zach, reportedly was the one who walked in and found Panettiere unresponsive in a chair in the living room.
The Hickerson brothers called 911, and an emergency medical team arrived at 1:50 p.m. Unfortunately, they failed to save Panettiere, and doctors declared her dead at 2:32 p.m. At the time, South Carolina Police announced that they suspected no foul play, and the initial autopsy reportedly revealed no signs of trauma before the actress's death.
The actress detailed her troubled relationship with Hickerson in her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," released in May. Panettiere spoke about his alleged harsh behavior towards her, which had resulted in three detentions and jail time for her.

There may be no bigger fan of Scottie Barnes than Darko Rajakovic. The Toronto Raptors head coach recently sat down for an interview in his native Serbia, during which he likened the franchise star to one of the all-time greats. "I think there is no coach and there is no success for a coach without players," the bench boss — about to enter his fourth season holding the clipboard in Toronto — began explaining in Serbian. "You look at all our greatest coaches, who are fantastic ... they all became great coaches by taking care of the players, and I think that's on every level ... there's no Phil Jackson without Michael Jordan. My Michael Jordan is Scottie Barnes."

Newcastle United host Liverpool at St James' Park on Sunday evening in Matthias Jaissle's first competitive match in charge, at the end of a summer defined by significant upheaval on Tyneside.
Jaissle arrives from Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League to replace Eddie Howe, who left the club after the start of pre-season. He inherits a squad that has sold Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon for a combined fee in excess of £240m, alongside the earlier departure of Kieran Trippier to Wolves.
Joelinton is the most notable absentee. Jaissle confirmed the midfielder is out with a groin injury but should return within a couple of weeks. Tino Livramento remains sidelined with a calf problem that forced him to withdraw from England's World Cup squad, and Fabian Schär is also being monitored for fitness. Lewis Miley made his first appearance since breaking his leg in last weekend's 2–1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, but whether he is ready to start remains uncertain.
Sean Steur is expected to be handed his full debut in central midfield, though fellow new signing Aladji Bamba offers a genuine alternative in the same role. Amar Dedic, Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman continue to bed in alongside captain Lewis Hall at the back. Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes provide the width, with Yoane Wissa operating just behind William Osula, who leads the line. Lukas Hornicek continues in goal, having established himself as the club's first-choice option this summer.
Newcastle United possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Hornicek; Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Ramsey, Steur; Elanga, Wissa, Barnes; Osula

Taylor Swift is mourning the death of her former Nashville neighbor, Hayden Panettiere.
Swift and Panettiere reportedly had a friendly relationship while both lived at the Adelicia apartment complex in Nashville. According to a source who spoke with Page Six, Swift was "deeply saddened" when she learned of Panettiere's death at age 36.
"Taylor and Hayden were always friendly with each other and had a really nice rapport," the source told Page Six. The pair reportedly crossed paths from time to time while living in the same building.
Swift purchased a penthouse at the Nashville complex in 2009, while Panettiere moved there in 2012 after relocating to Tennessee to film Nashville, the ABC drama in which she played country singer Juliette Barnes.

The Georgia Bulldogs have an SEC-best (tied with the Texas Longhorns) 11 players on the coaches All-SEC team. Georgia has one less player on the coaches All-SEC team than the media's All-SEC team.
Georgia has five coaches All-SEC selections on defense. Clemson transfer safety Khalil Barnes is the lone Georgia All-SEC player that made the media's All-SEC team to miss the coaches All-SEC team.
College football coaches have shown Georgia a lot of respect this preseason. Georgia is back-to-back defending SEC champions and are the No. 3 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Georgia's roster is stacked with talent and all 11 of Georgia's coaches All-SEC picks are returning players from last season.
One notable omission from both All-SEC teams is kicker Peyton Woodring, who has been outstanding both of the past couple of seasons. Woodring is accurate and reliable, but there's a lot of talented kickers in the SEC.
Safety KJ Bolden (first-team)

Wild Kyrie Irving trade proposal sends Mavs superstar to Raptors in package deal originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Kyrie Irving is one of the most exceptional basketball players in the NBA. The nine-time All-Star and 2016 NBA champion is still widely regarded as one of the best players in the league despite his advanced age.
Currently playing for the Dallas Mavericks, there are various trade rumors surrounding him in the offseason. Ahead of the next season, it looks like he could play for a new team though the Mavericks don't seem to be entertaining it. However, one hypothetical trade has been making the rounds on social media.
Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley recently outlined a hypothetical trade on August 17, 2026, in which the Toronto Raptors would acquire Kyrie Irving from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Immanuel Quickley, Ja'Kobe Walter and a 2028 first-round pick that is top-five protected.
Irving missed the entire 2025-26 season after tearing his left ACL on March 3, 2025. Buckley's proposal ***** umes the Raptors complete their pending acquisition of Kawhi Leonard and pairs the returning Irving with Leonard and Scottie Barnes. Toronto ranked fifth in defensive efficiency during the 2025-26 regular season but only 15th offensively, with notable weaknesses in isolation (25th) and pick-and-roll ball-handler efficiency (23rd).

The Washington Commanders were off on Monday, but general manager Adam Peters remained busy. First, Washington made an addition at running back, signing veteran Craig Reynolds. Veteran Jeremy McNichols is currently dealing with a quad injury.
Secondly, Washington made a decision at kicker. Incumbent Jake Moody had been competing with undrafted rookie Drew Stevens, but on Monday, the Commanders released Moody. Stevens now has the kicking job.
Finally, Peters made yet another move, as Washington is expected to sign veteran linebacker Krys Barner, per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
Barnes, 28, entered the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent. He initially signed with the Green Bay Packers and played there for three seasons. In 2023, Barnes signed with the Arizona Cardinals and played for two seasons. He played for the Carolina Panthers last season.
In six NFL seasons, Barnes has appeared in 75 games with 33 starts. He has 303 career tackles, 5.5 sacks and one interception.

The Commanders roster churn continues as we enter the next wave of training camp. Washington added veteran linebacker Krys Barnes, CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported on Monday evening.
The UCLA product has been in the NFL since 2020, with stops in Green Bay, Arizona and Carolina over the past six seasons. He has 303 total tackles, including 16 for a loss and a sack to his credit.
This adds depth to an already strong position group, which may portend that there's an injury to be accounted for within the position group that we don't yet know about. It could also ramp up competition there and on special teams, where the Commanders are always looking for capable players in the kicking game.
This was one of several transactions made by the Commanders in the wake of Friday's 20-7 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins. The team is expected to announce most of the signings, and at least one corresponding move before Tuesday morning's practice.
