Byron Scott believes James Harden prevented LeBron James from joining the Cavaliers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
James Harden is still a free agent, but everyone believes that he is headed back to the Cleveland Cavaliers on a long-term deal. They were much better when he joined the Cavs from the Los Angeles Clippers, and they reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2018.
Of course, the Cavs got swept, but it was a step in the right direction. Some of the players and fans thought they could've gotten LeBron James for a third stint in free agency, but it did not work out, as he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Now that LeBron is with the 76ers, people are speculating about the reasons why he didn't join the other teams in the running to sign him. Cleveland was among them, which would have been a poetic ending to LeBron's career because he is an Ohio native, and he already had two stints in Cleveland with a championship in the second.
Since they have a talented roster with Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, the Cavaliers are always a team that can threaten anyone. They reached the Conference Finals, and they are on a positive trajectory despite the loss in the postseason.

Phillies executive remains confident in Trea Turner's defensive skills originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
While Trea Turner has been reliable from the batter's box, slashing .250/.299/.404 with 16 home runs, the same can't be said for his work on the defensive side of the field. It's an area that sees the Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop put up some rather lackluster performances, recording the second-highest errors in the league (18) for players at any position, while ranking in the bottom ten for putouts by a shortstop (83).
These numbers are one thing, but it's worth noting that they are the makeup of one of the more critical sides to Turner's defensive statistics; he has the lowest fielding percentage among shortstops in the league, .954, which ranks fourth among all players at the time of writing. Some of the more advanced metrics would indicate that Turner has been more than costly in the field, having a defensive runs saved of -14, meaning he's been quite the detriment to his team throughout the season.
All of this is to say that the three-time All-Star has been struggling throughout the campaign, but it's worth highlighting that he has the full support of the Phillies' President of Baseball Operations, Dave Dombrowski.
Prior to Monday night's series opener against the Washington Nationals, Dombrowski spoke to the press about Turner's defensive development and apparent slump, something he isn't all that concerned about at the moment.

Luka Doncic announces that he is 100% healthy ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
To end the 2025-26 season, Luka Doncic was on a high, performing at an unreal level. Unfortunately, that all came down after he suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out for the end of the regular season and both rounds of the Los Angeles Lakers' postseason run.
It was a huge blow for the Lakers because with the way he was playing, no one could stop him. Now that he has taken some time to fully rest, it seems Doncic has no more problems with his hamstring or any other part of his body. He is ready to take on the challenge of being the true superstar in LA.
As one of the most talented players in the league, it is fair for Doncic to be in the headlines all the time. He is on the same level as the MVP-level players like Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and he is doing it in the Purple and Gold.
When he was healthy, Doncic was playing arguably the best basketball of his career. He was dominant on offense with his scoring and playmaking, which helped the Lakers reach a level where they could compete with the best teams in the league.

Sean McVay breaks silence on Myles Garrett's injury after third straight missed practice originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Rams are taking a cautious approach with one of their biggest offseason acquisitions, as star defensive end Myles Garrett continues to sit out training camp with what head coach Sean McVay described as minor soreness.
Garrett missed his third consecutive practice on Sunday, but McVay made it clear that there is no panic inside the Rams' organization. Instead, the coaching staff is focused on ensuring the veteran pass rusher is healthy for the games that matter most.
"He's dealing with a little soreness in his lower half," McVay said. "We're erring on the side of being smart with him. There's no reason for concern."
The Rams will also keep Garrett out of Monday's practice, which concludes the team's current four-day practice block. After an off day on Tuesday, Los Angeles plans to re-evaluate the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year before determining when he will return to the field.

Deebo Samuel reveals reason for returning to 49ers, joining Brock Purdy originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
A fresh start is usually what most players crave when entering NFL free agency. Deebo Samuel did not quite have the same thought process. After his sole year with the Washington Commanders, he is back to catch passes from Brock Purdy. The 30-year-old weapon unveiled why he made such a choice.
Deebo Samuel is returning to the 49ers on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, including incentives. General manager John Lynch and Coach Kyle Shanahan reached out with this deal after they saw Ricky Pearsall go down with a season-ending PCL injury.
More than the fact that it was a need for the 49ers, deals in the NFL go both ways. For Samuel, he wanted to go back to the offense led by Brock Purdy because of his familiarity with the 49ers organization and the schemes of Coach Shanahan, via Nick Wagoner of ESPN.
"It kind of felt like I didn't even go nowhere, to be honest. When I got back, I was just like, 'Well, I know what's going on. I know the people here. Staff still the same.' So it's kind of like the same for real. Conversations with me, John, and Kyle have just always kind of been the same. It was just a matter of time before it happened," the 49ers' seven-year veteran said.

Jaylen Brown admits he felt disrespected by people he thought were on his side originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After playing his entire career to this point with the Boston Celtics, Jaylen Brown seems ecstatic to be playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. It was one of the biggest trades of the offseason, as it saw Brown being traded for Paul George and a haul of draft picks.
From an outside perspective, it looked like a salary dump. Considering he was almost traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo just before that ended up going the Miami Heat's way, it signalled the end of Brown's time in Boston. There was no coming back from that for the Celtics, so they shipped him off to Philly, a city that is a fierce rival of Boston.
Despite the success he had in his 10 years with the Celtics, it seems Brown could not convince the organization that he was there for the long haul. With the contract he had alongside Jayson Tatum, team president Brad Stevens and his front office believed it was the right time to part ways.
Of course, that decision was not easy for Stevens because he has a long-standing relationship with Brown. However, it seems that was not received well by Brown because he is now with the 76ers, and he is motivated by people who apparently disrespected him.

Jared McCain reveals the gap between the average NBA player and the normal person originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Seen as one of the most relatable players in the NBA, Jared McCain is quite a good athlete. He might have fun on his TikTok account, but he works hard to become the best version of himself. With both the Philadelphia 76ers and now the Oklahoma City Thunder, McCain has had experience playing alongside some big stars.
During his 76ers days, he had Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Joel Embiid. Now that he is on OKC, he is playing alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. McCain has no problems admitting some players are better than him, but he acknowledges his own ability as well.
Throughout the NBA's nearly 80-year history, there have only been around 5,000 players. That is a smaller number than most people realize, and that is because of the level required even to reach the league. Some talented players have not even reached that level, but they stood out in other leagues around the world.
Standing out in the NBA can be quite challenging because of how different the systems are from team to team. It is up to the player to showcase their skill set and how they fit by playing well in practice and convincing the coaching staff they belong.

Ben Johnson surprisingly claims one Bears WR can equal Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Bears are trying to fast-track their way into being Super Bowl contenders. Coach Ben Johnson knows that Caleb Williams and the rest of the squad have a great foundation already despite their NFL Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams. To reach that point of ******* le contention, someone has to take a superstar leap aside from the quarterback. It looks like Luther Burden is taking up that challenge.
Coach Johnson even believes that Burden is capable of equaling Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown in the 2026 NFL season.
Luther Burden is a great wide receiver. The Bears selected him with the 39th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and his numbers are fairly solid. Coach Ben Johnson thinks he is capable of more. He believes that the second-year offensive weapon will make a big leap to help Caleb Williams and the rest of the Bears go on a rampage. More than that, he also claims Burden can equal Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown in terms of mentality and impact.

Cooper Flagg to LA for golf with Luka Doncic — the rumor that almost was originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
NBA fans spent the weekend buzzing over a supposed meetup between two of the league's biggest names. A claim spread fast across social media, tying together a Los Angeles Lakers superstar and a Dallas Mavericks rookie sensation during a quiet stretch of August.
The story gained traction before anyone could confirm a single detail behind it. By Sunday night, a veteran NBA reporter stepped in to set the record straight for good.
An account called MavsMuse posted over the weekend claiming Cooper Flagg would fly to Los Angeles to golf with Luka Doncic, and the idea spread across fan pages within hours. NBA insider Marc Stein addressed it directly, confirming there was no golf summit scheduled between the two.
Doncic has spent this summer fully rooted in Slovenia, a stretch that follows his three-year contract extension with the Lakers that runs through 2028. Stein made clear where each player actually stands. "Luka Dončić is in Slovenia and will be for the whole offseason," Stein wrote. "Cooper Flagg is training in Maine and occasionally Dallas all summer."

Heat reportedly warned against signing Stephen Curry's ex-teammates originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Miami Heat traded Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware and three first-round picks to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks in June, giving them one of the three best players in the world. That deal changed the franchise's ceiling. What it did not resolve was the roster around Antetokounmpo.
Several experienced names have since entered Miami's free agency discussions, including Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, D'Angelo Russell and Nick Richards. One anonymous NBA scout evaluated all six this week, and his **** sments landed in very different places depending on the player.
The scout speaking anonymously to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel was asked to **** s Miami's full list of veteran targets. They highlighted why many of these players come with major risks.
Thompson, one of Curry's most decorated Warriors teammates, drew a notably measured take. The 36-year-old averaged career lows of 11.7 points and shot 39.3 percent from the field in his one season with the Dallas Mavericks. He has one year left on his contract at approximately $17.5 million and remains a buyout candidate.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty boldly declares he will take a Year 2 jump after rookie struggles originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
All eyes have been on the quarterback battle between Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins for the Las Vegas Raiders' preseason training camps. But there is one player who could be a lethal force that most people are not paying attention to - Ashton Jeanty. The running back made a bold declaration about his Year 2 aspirations that should scare other NFL teams.
Ashton Jeanty did not have the prettiest numbers during his rookie season. He had 266 rushing attempts while only gaining 975 rushing yards and five touchdowns. When these numbers are crunched, the Raiders only got 3.7 yards per attempt out of Jeanty. The fact that he also fumbled twice and only had 1.6 yards per attempt before contact, which is the third-worst in the NFL, does not help his case.
Jeanty acknowledges all of the gaps in his game after his rookie year. He knows that the Raiders have high expectations after drafting him sixth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. So, the Raiders running back ******* ured the organization and their fans that he will be making a big Year 2 leap in the 2026 NFL season, via The ******* ociated Press.
"When everything is not going well, continuing to go to work and having hope and faith. I think that'll carry into this year. Just taking it one week at a time, whether you win or you lose, you've got to attack the next game and the next week with the same mindset. It's always tough being in the first year trying to figure out so much stuff. But this year, there's a lot of expectations for me, and I think I've got to make a big jump. I think that starts with helping my teammates as well and just being a better teammate," the Raiders running back declared.

Nobody expects the New York Jets to win a Super Bowl this season, not that fans would be mad if it happened, but the expectations are pretty realistic for the team this year. What are those expectations? Basically, Aaron Glenn and company are hoping for more wins than last season and maybe even a playoff run.

Adley Rutschman trade grades: Red Sox land star catcher, Orioles restock farm system with massive return originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox made a big splash ahead of the trade deadline, securing catcher Adley Rutschman from the division-rival Baltimore Orioles.
Rutschman is currently on the injured list, but when healthy, he is a switch-hitting catcher who was talented enough to go first overall in the 2019 MLB Draft. Catcher was one of the Red Sox's weakest positions, so this deal fills a pretty large hole.
The Orioles will now hand the catching reins over full time to Samuel Basallo, whom the team has already signed to a long-term extension. This does, however, signal the end of an era in Baltimore, as Rutschman was expected to be a big piece of the Orioles' future but instead played in just five total playoff games.

Dodgers acquire Royals left-hander Kris Bubic in intriguing deadline trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have added another potentially valuable arm to their pitching staff, although their latest acquisition comes with considerable uncertainty.
Los Angeles is acquiring left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic from the Kansas City Royals, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The players heading to Kansas City were not immediately reported. Bubic is currently on the 60-day injured list after dealing with elbow soreness and a subsequent shoulder setback. He recently began a throwing progression, but there is no firm timetable for his return to a major league mound.
That makes this an intriguing deadline gamble for the Dodgers. Bubic went 3-2 with a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over nine starts for Kansas City this season. He recorded 51 strikeouts across 50 1/3 innings before injuries interrupted his year. The 28-year-old is not necessarily an immediate solution for Los Angeles. If he can get healthy, however, he could provide the Dodgers with another experienced starting option for the stretch run and potentially the postseason.
Bubic last pitched for Kansas City on May 14, when he allowed five earned runs over four innings against the Chicago White Sox. He was initially sidelined by an elbow issue before later experiencing discomfort in his shoulder. Bubic began a throwing progression in late July, making 30 throws from distances between 45 and 60 feet.
