The Memphis Grizzlies, fueled by a triple-double from teenager Cameron Boozer, topped the Portland Trail Blazers 124-103 in a battle of NBA unbeatens on Thursday, Portland guard Ja Morant's first game against his former team ending with an injury.
Boozer, taken third in June's NBA draft, scored 18 points with 12 rebounds and 12 **** ists for the Grizzlies.
The game in Portland was billed as Morant's reunion with the Grizzlies, the team that drafted him second overall in 2019. He earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2020 and emerged as a star in his seven-year tenure in Memphis.
He also had a pair of lengthy suspensions and, after multiple injuries limited him to 20 games last season, he was traded in June.
Morant finished with 14 points, two rebounds and three **** ists before exiting in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been the surprise story of the 2026-27 NBA season, mostly because of Ty Jerome's fantastic run as the top scorer, leading them to a 5-0 record with their latest win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
Jerome was pulled back down to earth after averaging 29.8 points and 6.5 **** ists per game for the Grizzlies. Thankfully for Memphis, they still had other phenomenal talents like Cameron Boozer, who was definitely the standout in the win against Portland.
Boozer had the best performance of the night because he was all over the court. He posted the first triple-double of his career by getting 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 **** ists in only 28 minutes.
It was such an impressive performance because he was playing against some talented defenders like Donovan Clingan and Toumani Camara. Boozer also showcased why he was seen as one of the most NBA-ready prospects with his poise.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Cameron Boozer had the first triple-double of his NBA career with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 ***** ists, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Portland Trail Blazers 124-103 on Thursday night to move to 5-0.
The Grizzlies had seven other players in double-figures, including three players off the bench. Isaiah Stewart led the Memphis reserves with 18 points. Deni Avdija led the Blazers with 24 points, nine rebounds and seven ***** ists.
Ja Morant had 14 points and three ***** ists in 23 minutes in his first game against his former team but left the game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return. One game after hitting a game-sealing 3-pointer against the Lakers, Damian Lillard went 3 of 13 from the field on Thursday.
With the Grizzlies holding a 2-point lead, they went on a 10-0 run to make it 87-75 with 2:09 left in the third quarter.
A 3-pointer by Zach Edey with 9:47 left gave the Grizzlies a 96-85 lead, forcing a Blazers timeout.

Abus Magomedov is riding high off his UFC 333 win, and who can blame him?
It was a near-perfect recipe. The first-round submission of Cameron Rowston was quick, decisive, and flashy. His flex celebration gave fans a moment to make viral, as did Magomedov's callout of contender Gregory Rodrigues. Perhaps the only thing missing was a Performance of the Night bonus.
"You know what happened last time after my last fight in Baku?" Magomedov told MMA Junkie on Thursday. "It was also a good performance. I was talking into the microphone after the fight. My coach Mike Brown called me and said, 'Why do you ask for the bonus? When fighters ask about the bonus, they never get it.' Then Ali Abdelaziz called me and said, 'Brother, why do you say this?' Then I said, 'OK, this is my first and last time that I ask for some money.' Then, I didn't say anything and still didn't get it."
"... It's better than nothing. But after you know you can get $100,000, $25,000 sounds not so enough. But always Alhamdulillah. Even though I didn't get bonus, I got good money there."
Magomedov (30-7-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) didn't tap Rowston (15-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC). He choked "The Battle Giraffe" completely unconscious. As blood began to return to Rowston's brain after the stoppage, Magomedov flexed – a similar celebration to that of the one Nate Diaz hit Kurt Pellegrino with many moons ago.

Phoebe Dynevor became internationally famous through Bridgerton, and that sudden success also brought increased attention to her personal life. The British actress has experienced everything from relatively private relationships to a highly publicized romance followed by photographers and tabloids. Over time, however, Dynevor has become increasingly careful about separating her career from her relationships. Her romantic history has included actors and figures outside the entertainment spotlight, but her relationship with Cameron Fuller ultimately became the most significant chapter. After beginning their romance in 2023, the couple became engaged and later married.
Before Bridgerton transformed her public profile, Dynevor was linked to several men, including British actor Sean Teale and executive Simon Merrill. These relationships attracted comparatively limited attention, partly because they occurred before she became internationally recognizable as Daphne Bridgerton. The success of the Netflix period drama dramatically changed the amount of interest surrounding her life away from the screen.
That became especially clear in 2021, when Dynevor dated American comedian Pete Davidson. Their relationship generated intense media attention as the pair were photographed together and followed by celebrity publications. Dynevor later reflected on the experience of suddenly having strangers interested in something she considered an ordinary part of being a young woman. The relationship ended after several months, with their demanding schedules and distance widely reported as challenges.
A quieter chapter began when Dynevor was linked to actor and producer Cameron Fuller in 2023. The pair initially kept much of their relationship away from public attention, although they gradually began appearing together at events. Fuller comes from an entertainment industry family and has worked both in front of and behind the camera.
Their relationship reached another milestone in 2024. Dynevor attended the Met Gala wearing a pale pink Victoria Beckham gown and revealed a diamond ring on her left hand, bringing widespread attention to their engagement. Fuller and Dynevor largely continued their low key approach afterward rather than turning their wedding preparations into a constant public storyline.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could use a recent security scare near their children's school to support their case for taxpayer-funded protection in the UK, royal author Ingrid Seward claimed. The Sussexes returned to Britain in August and are still waiting for a decision on whether they will receive publicly funded security while they are in the country.
Seward suggested Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may point to the incident when making their case for greater security. Speaking to The Sun's Royal Exclusive, Seward said she believed the couple could use the situation to their advantage. "I do feel certain that they (the Sussexes) probably will use this to try and benefit themselves in some kind of way," she said.
Harry has repeatedly raised concerns about his family's security while in the UK. Seward suggested that his security team would likely have stayed near the school because Harry uses a high level of protection when travelling with his family.
Harry and Meghan are currently waiting to learn whether they will receive taxpayer-funded security while living in the UK. Their security arrangements have remained a major issue since Harry stepped back as a working member of the Royal Family and moved to the US. The Duke has previously challenged decisions surrounding his security protection in Britain.
GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker also discussed the incident and the security concerns involving Archie and Lilibet. Walker said British publications would generally avoid publishing unauthorized photos of the children. However, he noted that some European outlets could take a different approach.

Rob Reiner's death cast a different light on the friendship he shared with Michael Douglas, but the connection between the two men was forged long before their relationship became part of a tragic story.
Michael has now revealed that some of their most meaningful conversations centered on their sons and the pain of watching them struggle with drug issues.
In his memoir, "One ****** uva Ride," the 82-year-old recalled a friendship where two fathers could speak openly when neither had easy answers.

For Michael Douglas, the family struggle was deeply personal. His son Cameron Douglas battled addiction and eventually served seven years in federal prison on drug-related charges.

Cameron Rorrison is speaking publicly about Presley Gerber for the first time since the model's death, telling followers she had a "difficult time finding the words."
In her tribute, per Us Weekly, Rorrison remembered Gerber as someone with a "wide open heart," and someone who had "inspiring compassion and incredible understanding."
"One of the most amazing things about him was his humanity and his unique way of making every person, no matter who, feel as brilliant and important as the next," she added. "And incredibly beautiful quality I have yet to see as honest and pure in another person since."
Rorrison dated Gerber from 2018 to 2020, and she is the latest of his former partners to break her silence since he died at 27.

Michael Douglas is owning up to an on-set romance that he has kept secret for 40 years.
The Oscar-winning actor, now 82, revealed in his new memoir One ****** uva Ride that he and his former co-star Kathleen Turner, now 72, fell in love while filming the 1984 blockbuster Romancing the Stone in Mexico.
At the time, Douglas — who has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones since 2000 — was separated from Diandra Luker, his first wife and the mother of his son Cameron. He recalled meeting Turner during the casting process and hitting it off right away.
"Kathleen was smart, funny, and ****** y with a deep, sultry voice that became her signature," he wrote, according to an excerpt of the memoir obtained by People. "I instantly liked her, and we were immediately attracted to each other. "
The Fatal Attraction actor continued: "Things at home were in a bad place. Diandra and I were both having extramarital affairs... I left for Mexico still technically married, but separated."

This week, we're turning the lens back to the early 2000s — when pop culture icons defined a generation — tracing the journeys of some beloved stars who've largely stepped back from the Hollywood glare.

Amanda Bynes was a comedy sensation and one of the most beloved young actresses of her generation, starring in hit TV shows and films that defined youth culture. She first rose to prominence on Nickelodeon's All That at just 10 years old before landing her own series, The Amanda Show, per Today. Despite fame and awards, her later years brought struggles with mental health and a shift away from the spotlight, including a nearly decade-long conservatorship that was terminated by a judge in 2022, according to Salon. Bynes' journey has resonated with many, offering a reminder of resilience and the challenges of child stardom.

Rebel Wilson is facing a new sanctions motion in her Los Angeles defamation battle with three producers of The Deb.
Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden accuse Wilson of giving false sworn testimony, withholding documents and mishandling evidence during pretrial discovery. Their lawyers characterize the alleged conduct as a "fraud on the court" and are asking Judge Thomas Long to impose penalties.
Wilson's attorney, Allyson Katherine Thompson, disputes the accusations. She told MyNewsLA that the motion is another attempt to malign Wilson and described it as "gamesmanship" in a heavily contested case.
The sanctions motion is scheduled for an Oct. 22 hearing. The producers' underlying defamation case against Wilson is currently scheduled for trial in Los Angeles in January 2027.
One of the examples in the motion concerns a demand letter tied to the dispute.

It doesn't look like Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver Parker Washington will have a new contract prior to the regular season starting.
According to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network, it is "unlikely" that a new deal will get done by the start of the season.
Washington is set to enter the final year of his rookie deal, and he is currently slated to be a free agent during the 2027 offseason.
Wolfe added that the Jaguars explored a deal in the Michael Wilson's range after he signed a three-year, $75 million extension with Arizona recently. However, Jacksonville and Washington could not come to terms.
It’s “unlikely” Jaguars & WR Parker Washington agree to a contract extension by start of season, per source.

I’m told Jags explored deal in Cardinals’ Michael Wilson range (3-year, $75M) but no deal for now.

Bridgerton's first leading lady, Phoebe Dynevor, has said "I do" herself after marrying fiancé Cameron Fuller on Saturday, September 5, according to a report from The Sun.
The actress who famously plays Daphne Bridgerton in Netflix's Shondaland hit is poised to continue her romantic streak onscreen with the streamer's highly anticipated adaptation of Emily Henry's Beach Read. When it comes to Dynevor's own fairytale, her nuptials reportedly took place at Le Mas de Poiriers, an 18th-century farmhouse in Provence, France.
The property, which accommodates up to 250 guests, spans 65 acres, and among the crowd celebrating Dynevor and Fuller's big day were her mother, Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, and her sister, Hattie. It's unclear if any of Dynevor's Bridgerton costars were in attendance at the shindig. The insider source for The Sun revealed that the event "ended up being absolutely perfect."
Dynevor and Fuller began dating in 2023 before becoming engaged to be married in 2024, when it was confirmed during her red carpet appearance at the Met Gala that year. The wedding follows Dynevor's "hen do," a.k.a. bachelorette party, which took place in August at the Broadwick Soho.

Mike McCarthy is wasting little time putting his own stamp on the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the new head coach set to end one of Mike Tomlin's longest-running traditions before the 2026 season begins.
Rather than sticking with permanent captains, McCarthy has confirmed that Pittsburgh will use a weekly captain format, giving different players the opportunity to take on a leadership role throughout the season.
Tomlin stepped down in January after 19 seasons in charge, having never overseen a losing campaign. His approach included naming seasonal captains, with four players chosen for those roles last year.
Aaron Rodgers led the offence, Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt represented the defence, while Miles Killebrew handled special teams. Killebrew has since left Pittsburgh for Tampa Bay.

Gael Cameron is trying to find the positives in life after an arrest warrant was issued for her Below Deck Mediterranean castmate and ex-partner, Nathan Gallagher.
"I've been sitting here trying to find the perfect quote to encapsulate this photo, but I realized there isn't one. Just the water and him. Two things that can get me through absolutely anything in this life," Cameron captioned a Sunday, September 6, Instagram carousel that showed her in the surf with 14-month-old Kayden, whom she shares with Gallagher. "In this moment I feel happy again."
Gallagher and Cameron met in 2024 when filming season 9 of the Bravo reality show. He was arrested and charged with ****** aulting her on Boxing Day 2025. Us Weekly confirmed last month that Gallagher was arrested and charged with "assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common ****** ault," according to a police memo.
The police report further stated that neither party sustained injuries and Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail. Gallagher was convicted of three domestic violence offenses on Tuesday, September 1, after failing to appear in a Sydney, Australia, courtroom.
A day earlier, Cameron thanked her fans for supporting her and her son through a "tough season."

One of the biggest questions around the NFL pertaining to Aaron Donald's return to the Los Angeles Rams is about whether or not he can still be the same Aaron Donald he was during his original run, when he was the best defensive player in football.
It's still entirely possible that he's a massively impactful piece for the Rams' defense, but at the same time the odds are slim he's as good as he was then. Again, he was previously the best defensive player in football and has since spent two years away from the game.
But there is one thing that's certainly working in his favor: the position he plays.
This isn't a hard-and-fast rule by any means, but generally speaking interior defensive linemen, especially ones that already play at a high level, often age more gracefully than other players and positions.
In 2025, there were just two interior defensive lineman 35 years old or older who played an NFL game. That's relevant, of course, because that's how old Donald is now. One was 36-year-old Cameron Heyward, one of the best defensive tackles of his era, who started all 17 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers and earned his second second-team All-Pro honor, and sixth All-Pro nod overall.

The general expectation around the NBA is that the Los Angeles Lakers will take at least half a step backward this season without LeBron James. Last season, they went 53-29 and finished fourth in the Western Conference, but now, they may not have a true third scorer, and the belief is that they still lack enough plus defenders on the perimeter.
But the Lakers still do have a competitive roster, and in fact, their roster does look more balanced and versatile this time around. Derek Fisher, a guard who won five NBA ****** les with the Lakers back in the day, feels there won't be much of a drop-off this season with James now on the Philadelphia 76ers, via Lakers Nation.
"You think about the few organizations where LeBron has been, you tell me where their record has gotten dramatically better after he left," Fisher said during his show on 97.1 The Fan LA. "So it's not going to fall off that much because Luka [Doncic] is there. I think Luka and Austin Reaves are basically an All-Star backcourt that you can roll out every night, and then Walker Kessler is a young developing almost All-Star-ish type of big in terms of his elite defense and rebounding. So I think you have a chance…45 to 50 wins, a lot of things are going to have to go right, but it feels fair to me."
When James left the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010, they went 19-63 the following season and didn't make the playoffs until he returned for the 2014-15 campaign. The results were similar for the four seasons following James' second departure from the Cavaliers in 2018.
Kessler was L.A.'s big offseason addition, and by himself, he could improve its defense. It also brought in Quentin Grimes and Collin ****** ton to boost its offense and its backcourt, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be a nice utility big man, and Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams could be reliable 3-and-D role players. In addition, rookie guard Cameron Carr could break into the rotation before too long.

The 1991 blockbuster sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day gave Edward Furlong many happy memories. The corresponding fame, not so much.
"Growing up in the spotlight is really hard," Furlong told People in a recent interview. "It's tough enough as an adult to be able to navigate… just being a human being and making mistakes, and whatever, when you got a spotlight on you … it's tough."
Furlong was 13 when he filmed his screen debut in Terminator 2, playing John Connor, son of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor. The actor, now 49, told People that he was "spoiled rotten" to be working with a director as commanding as James Cameron, that costar Arnold Schwarzenegger was "the definition of professional," and that Hamilton made Furlong "that much better being able to act alongside her."
After other screen roles in films including 1992's Pet Sematary Two , 1993's A Home of Our Own, and 1998's American History X, however, Furlong's acting career got sidelined amid substance use and personal troubles.

Below Deck Mediterranean star Gael Cameron, 30, broke her silence on Saturday, Sept. 5, after ex-boyfriend Nathan Gallagher's domestic violence conviction
Cameron, who was identified as the 29-year-old woman whom Gallagher, 28, allegedly **** aulted in December 2025, took to her Instagram Stories to address the ongoing case as Gallagher remains wanted on arrest in two countries.
"Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you've shown for Kayden and I," Cameron wrote, referring to her and Gallagher's 14-month-old son. "It's been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself."
"I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that's come to light, and I'm really working on finding myself again and moving forward," continued Cameron.
After Gallagher failed to appear in court on September 1 in Burwood Local Court in Sydney, Australia, Judge Janine Lacy convicted the Below Deck Med star on three counts of domestic violence for his December arrest.

As the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft, Cameron Boozer joins the Memphis Grizzlies after a historic freshman campaign at Duke.
Boozer was the consensus National Player of the Year, averaging 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.1 ****** ists while shooting 39.1% from 3-point range. He is the only freshman in history to tally at least 700 points, 300 rebounds and 100 ****** ists in a single season.
The 6-foot-8 Boozer ranked second in the country in points (855), second in field goals (290), third in rebounds (389) and fifth in free throws (221). He was also tied for the most double-doubles with 22, becoming just the second Duke freshman to reach that total in a season.
Boozer is the second player drafted with the No. 3 pick in franchise history. He is one of seven Blue Devils to be selected third, joining Christian Laettner (1992), Grant Hill (1994), Mike Dunleavy Jr. (2002), Jahlil Okafor (2015), Jayson Tatum (2017) and RJ Barrett (2019).
The son of former 13-year veteran Carlos Boozer debuted with the Grizzlies in summer league, averaging 18.5 points, eight rebounds, 3.7 ****** ists and 1.8 steals. He was named to the All-Summer League first team, ranking second in points (111) among all players in Las Vegas.

Fans may notice something is missing from the Illini hoops schedule this season, leaving them asking, where are the big home games?
It's no secret Brad Underwood has worked hard at strengthening the Illini's non-conference schedule, from agreeing to home-and-home deals, and booking out the United Center or Madison Square Garden. It just so happens that excitement will be lacking at State Farm Center this year.
A large portion of this is luck of the draw; it's the Illini's turn to travel to Cameron Indoor and battle the Blue Devils, and they'll return the favor in 2028. The same goes for Texas Tech, who will also travel to Champaign in 2028. However, away games aren't the only hurdle Underwood's squad will face, as they meet North Carolina, Missouri, and UConn, for neutral site games. The good news is UConn is being hosted at the United Center, an arena accessible to many Illini fans.
Something fans can keep in mind is that this could potentially mean a loaded home non-con schedule for the 2027-2028 season. With a "blue blood" like Duke already scheduled for SFC, any extra addition would make for a good home schedule.
Just because Kansas or UConn isn't playing the Illini in Champaign doesn't mean there is nothing to look forward to. Penn will be meeting in Champaign on Thursday, Nov. 5, looking for a rematch to its first round NCAA tournament loss the Illini handed to them (and the return of Illini arch-nemesis Fran McCaffery). Sophomore David Mirkovic posted a career high 29 points against the Quakers, and is slated to return from a left foot surgery right in time for this game.

After a 5 run first inning, Kansas City had a multi-run lead for over half the game. The Marlins kept chipping away inning after inning to eventually win 9-6.
It was a very exciting beginning to the game tonight, though it was both the good and bad type of exciting. Noah Cameron had a breaking ball hit the back foot of the leadoff hitter to start the game. Then Otto Lopez hit a hard groundball down the third baseline and into the corner that John Rave misplayed into a triple and an RBI. Kyle Stowers was up third and the infield was in. He immediately hit a little single up the middle to make the game 2-0. Cameron started to settle in after that and got out of the first. In the bottom half the Royals decided to show Miami that anything they could do KC could do better. Carter Jensen led the game off by pulling a solo home run and cutting the lead in half. Bobby Witt managed to reach base with a single before Jac Caglianone mirrored the triple in the top half of the inning only down the first baseline and into the corner for a double. It was enough with Witt's speed to tie the game up 2-2. That was not enough for Salvador Perez however, so he also turned on a ball and hit his 18th bomb of the year to score two and give the Royals the lead. After which Vinnie Pasquantino flew out, Nick Loftin worked a walk, and the newly returned Michael Massey drove a double to right center for a 5-2 lead.

That was a long inning for Eury Perez ending with 34 pitches thrown, and the Marlins even got the bullpen moving a bit before the end of the initial frame. It was a great start after the last two games where the Royals got blown out, but the crazy first was a long way from the end of this one. Cameron, after those first three batters, took down the next 8 in a row before Miami got to him in the 3rd. With two outs and no one on, Stowers got his second RBI knock of the night by hitting a solo homer to left center. It looked like he may have struck out on a check swing the pitch before the home run, but it was called no swing on appeal.
In the bottom of the 4th, with Eury still hanging in there, Carter Jensen tagged another mistake and lined it 110mph into the Royals bullpen. It was his second multi-homer game of his career and brought him to and then above the 20 homer mark. Not bad for your first full season in the bigs. Royals lead 6-3.
