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.

NEW YORK — Despite an uneven performance on Wednesday night, the Mets still have an opportunity to grab a series victory over the Brewers.
The Mets fell 8-1 in the middle game after Robert Stock gave up seven earned runs in four innings. The Mets' lone run came on a Francisco Alvarez RBI single.
The Mets and Brewers close out their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. on Thursday night at Citi Field.
The loss also saw Bo Bichette leave early after fouling a pitch off the inside of his left foot. Bichette is not in the lineup for Thursday's finale, with Brett Baty lined up at third base.
The Mets have now dropped three of their last five games to fall to 60-73, while the Brewers maintain their top spot in the National League with a mark of 82-51.

For those wondering on who will suit up in Game 3 of the preseason, it's the names fighting for roster spots on the Houston Texans.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that said no starters would play in Friday's preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. Several key backups, including quarterback Davis Mills and defensive Jadeveon Clowney, also will likely rest and begin to prepare for Week 1's matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
This shouldn't come as a surprise since Houston has rarely played starters outside of a quarter in recent years. Given that the Texans usually have two joint practices before games, most of the work is done there, so there's little for Ryans and the staff to see.
This offseason, the Texans were cautious with several key players, electing not to play them at all. Even quarterback C.J. Stroud, who still is looking for a massive contract extension entering the new campaign, only played in one drive, which led to a scoring opportunity for second-year running back Woody Marks.
Most of the defensive starters have not played in any preseason games this year, including Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter, Will Anderson Jr., Henry To'oTo'o and Calen Bullock. On offense, David Montgomery, Dalton Schultz and Nico Collins were all sidelined in preparation for the new season.

Anthropic apparently chose a winner in the AI-chip war between NVDA and AMD, and it's both of them.
Reuters reported on August 26, citing a person familiar with the matter after Bloomberg broke the news, that Anthropic will spend $45 billion over six years to rent Nvidia Vera Rubin computing capacity from Nscale's planned West Virginia campus. The 460-megawatt project is expected to start operating in late 2027. Anthropic declined to comment.
That would be a spectacular win for NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), except Anthropic agreed only a month earlier to buy tens of billions of dollars of servers powered by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD).

Best Buy's (BBY) second quarter results surpassed Wall Street's expectations on Thursday as new technology boosted the quarter, but the stock fell nearly 5% anyway.
"We drove growth across almost all our major product categories as well as continued strong performance in our Best Buy Ads and Marketplace initiatives," Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said in the release.
In the second quarter, the company posted same-store sales growth of 4.1%, well above Wall Street's 1.6% estimate and up from 1.6% in the same period last year.
Revenue came in at $9.8 billion, above the $9.6 billion expected, and adjusted earnings were $1.47 per share, also above the $1.38 per share expected. The company did see a $34 million benefit from tariff refunds in the quarter, which led to an adjusted operating income rate of 4.3%.
Best Buy said computing was the largest contributor to comparable sales growth, with sales jumping 6.8%. Due to higher memory costs, the company raised computing prices by a mid-teens percentage, and unit sales declined by high single digits.

Greenlight Capital is an investment management firm specializing in value-oriented strategies. The letter can be downloaded here. Greenlight Capital released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, reporting a 4.3% decline for the Partnerships and a 1.9% year-to-date gain, net of fees and expenses, compared with gains of 15.2% and 10.2% for the S&P 500 Index. The funds entered the quarter conservatively, but costly trading decisions and macro positions, particularly in gold and U.S. interest rates, weighed on results. Long positions contributed roughly 9%, offset by similar losses from shorts. The letter also highlighted concerns over speculative market conditions, using **** eX's $1.75 trillion IPO valuation and investment-grade rating as examples of excess. Looking ahead, Greenlight is more constructive on Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's inflation stance and expects positions to recover if inflation moderates and rates remain unchanged. Additionally, reviewing the Strategy's top holdings could help identify its best ideas for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Greenlight Capital highlighted PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL). PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL). PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) is a leading technology platform that provides digital payment solutions for merchants and consumers. On August 26, 2026, PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) closed at $61.68 per share. Over the past month, Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE:PRMB) returned 6.92%, while its shares have declined 12.02% in the last 52 weeks. Primo Brands Corporation (NYSE:PRMB) has a market capitalization of $52.88 billion, and its stock has traded within a 52-week range of $38.46 to $79.22.
Greenlight Capital stated the following regarding PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) is a consumer-facing payments platform with over 400 million active customers around the world. PYPL has long been viewed as being on the wrong side of the shift toward newer payment methods like Apple Pay, Shop Pay and Buy-Now-Pay-Later. After disappointing fourth-quarter results and a CEO transition, the stock sold off, creating an opportunity for us to acquire our position at an average price of $43.53. We believe PYPL's collection of payment **** ets is worth substantially more than the 8x earnings we paid. PYPL ended the quarter at $43.18. Subsequent to quarter-end, Stripe and Advent International reportedly made a joint offer to buy PYPL for $60.50 per share."

At the end of the quarter, CMCSA announced the spin-off of NBCUniversal, an important step that we believe should help highlight the value embedded within the company. CMCSA shares ended the quarter at $24.55."

On August 13, KinderCare Learning Companies (NASDAQ:KLC) reported second-quarter results that captured the company in the middle of major surgery on itself. Revenue slipped 0.4% to $697.5 million, and the company swung to a net loss of $8.8 million from net income of $38.6 million a year earlier. Behind those numbers sits a deliberate choice: management is closing dozens of underperforming centers even as the core business absorbs the hit.
The clearest bright spot is Champions, KinderCare's before- and after-school program, where revenue climbed 13.4% to $59.4 million on 85 net new sites added over the past year, marking four straight quarters of double-digit growth for the segment. KinderCare for Employers added new corporate partners during the quarter, including a stretch providing 24-hour childcare for Dallas public safety workers during the World Cup, and management is leaning further into tuition benefit programs as employers look for ways to support working parents.
The center closures are framed as addition by subtraction. Ninety percent of the locations shut so far sit in the lowest-performing fifth of the portfolio, and the 49 centers closed this quarter averaged occupancy below 37%. Management expects the full round of 80 to 85 closures to lift occupancy by roughly 1.5 percentage points once complete, while trimming annual rent by about $7 million.
Meanwhile, Creme School, KinderCare's premium brand, opened its first California location in Irvine and posted 26% growth in summer camp enrollment, and CEO Tom Wyatt said revenue from the Learning Adventures enrichment programs "has almost doubled from a year ago." The company also entered its 42nd state with a new center in Bentonville, Arkansas, helped along by fresh childcare funding commitments in New York, California and New Hampshire.
The headline numbers tell a rougher story. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $63.0 million from $82.4 million, and adjusted earnings per share dropped to $0.08 from $0.22, as lower occupancy ate into operating leverage. Same-center occupancy fell 2.4 percentage points to 68.6%, and enrollment in the core early childhood education business declined 4.0% year over year, a drag that a 2.6% tuition rate increase only partly offset. Same-center revenue fell $14 million, or 2%, with $11 million of that tied directly to center closures.

The London Company, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Small-Mid Cap Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. U.S. equities rebounded sharply in Q2, with the Russell 3000 gaining 15.4%, supported by AI infrastructure spending, strong earnings, and easing Middle East tensions. Technology led the rally as semiconductors recovered, while Energy and defensive sectors lagged. The portfolio returned 12.1% gross and 11.8% net compared with a 20.3% gain in the Russell 2500 Index. Stock selection weighed on relative performance, as high-beta and high-volatility stocks dominated returns while Quality remained weak, although results improved in June as market participation broadened. Looking ahead, resilient earnings and AI productivity support a constructive outlook, but negative hyperscaler cash flow, sticky inflation, geopolitical risks, index concentration, and elevated valuations warrant caution. The strategy continues to emphasize quality, downside protection, and active management. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could also highlight its best ideas for 2026.

Alluvial Capital Management's Q2 2026 investor letter for the Alluvial Fund reported a 4.9% return, with a year-to-date increase to 8.0%. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. While these results are acceptable, they are overshadowed by the impressive performance of small-cap and micro-cap stocks, particularly in AI and semiconductor sectors. The portfolio remains stable and focused on dependable cash flow producers, although it sometimes lags in momentum-driven markets. July showed improvement for Alluvial Fund as benchmarks declined. The author emphasizes the importance of a dependable investment strategy focused on solid cash flow producers, while expressing confidence that the portfolio's intrinsic value discount will lessen over time. The letter aims to communicate the fund's approach and highlights potential opportunities in overlooked sectors, urging a long-term investment perspective amidst current market trends. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Alluvial Fund highlighted Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN). Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) is an independent power producer and infrastructure company that generates and sells electricity, capacity, and ancillary services. On August 26, 2026, Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) closed at $306.29 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $14.68 billion. Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) posted a one-month return of -7.89%, while its shares lost 7.89% over the past 52 weeks.
Alluvial Fund stated the following regarding Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) is another long-tenured Alluvial holding. We bought Talen out of bankruptcy and have watched Talen's management put on an absolute master class. Since emergence, Talen has bought back a huge quantity of shares at extremely low prices, sold some older, out-of-market **** ets, and reinvested in modern generation capacity at good prices. Today, the market tends to treat Talen as a proxy for AI and data centers: on "AI will take over the world" days, Talen shares soar; on "AI is in a bubble" days, Talen sinks. This dynamic makes Talen unusually tradable by Alluvial Fund standards. We have had success selling calls against our core position when optimism surges, and buying calls when pessimism seems close to peaking. Meanwhile, we keep our eyes on the underlying story: merchant power production, especially nuclear, is a different business than it was a decade ago. Demand for electricity is growing again after stagnating for a decade. The United States is structurally short of generation capacity. This translates to strong free cash flow for companies like Talen that have dispatchable generation capacity. Talen expects free cash flow per share to exceed $40 in 2028, a figure that appears achievable based on planned share buybacks and the ramp-up of the company's supply agreement

In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Alluvial Fund highlighted Vistance Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:VISN) as a newly added position. Vistance Networks, Inc.

Alluvial Fund stated the following regarding Vistance Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:VISN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Vistance Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:VISN), a new holding for Alluvial Fund, is a company in the midst of dismantling itself. Over the past twelve months, Vistance has sold its two largest businesses. Vistance is now down to just one remaining operating ****** et, Aurora Networks, which manufactures equipment for cable networks like Comcast and Charter. It's not a wonderful business—results are lumpy and customer concentration is high—but it is not going away. Faced with relentless competition from fiber and wireless internet alternatives, cable operators have no choice but to continue to invest in speed and reliability upgrades. On the heels of this radical reduction in scale, I don't think Vistance stays independent. Management has gone from running an enterprise doing almost $7 billion in annual sales to one doing just $1 billion. Once it pays out the proceeds from its latest business sale, Vistance will have a market capitalization below $1 billion. As a newly-minted micro-cap company, it might as well be invisible. Being a listed, SEC-reporting micro-cap comes with all the headaches and annoyances of being public, but without most of the benefits.

True entertainers can charm the pants off even the toughest of critics. Although anyone with good Wi-Fi and a clean iPhone lens can go viral, it takes hard work, genuine talent, a whole lot of perseverance, and, of course, innate magnetism to cut through the algorithm and catch the attention of industry gatekeepers and fickle fans alike. And all 31 honorees selected for our 2026 Breakthrough List have done just that.
Actor-writer-director Eva Victor, for instance, went from posting (respectfully) goofy pandemic-era TikTok sketches to darling of last year's Sundance Film Festival with her debut feature Sorry, Baby; now, she calls Pedro Pascal and Olivia Wilde co-stars. For FLO, "Leak It" has established the British trio as one of music's most sizzling R&B acts, while campy duo Haute & Freddy's synthy whimsy and thoughtful lyricism earned them the stamp of approval from a certified pop icon: Lady Gaga. After cutting his teeth with one supporting role after the next, The Shards standout Igby Rigney proves he has what it takes to be one of TV's leading men. Meanwhile, Mexican actor Diego Calva has one Golden Globe nomination to his name, and we predict another coming his way for his tender performance in Jordan Firstman's already-buzzy Club Kid.
Whether they're topping charts with tomorrow's Grammy-winning earworms, delighting audiences in mega-viral social media series, or breathing new life into beloved franchises like Legally Blonde and Baywatch, these artists will remain at the top of our feeds, queues, and playlists for years.

Calling Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, and Amanda Peete co-stars is no small matter, but that's reality for Aimee Carrero, a scene-stealer in Apple TV+'s Emmy-nominated Your Friends and Neighbors. A featured player in dozens of IMDb credits thus far, the Dominican-American actress from Miami has a starring role in the comedy One Attempt Remaining (with Jennifer Garner, Kate McKinnon, John Cena, no less) coming down the pike. As for who Carrero thinks will have a banner year? Inde Navarrette: "I love seeing a young Latina woman out there doing her thing."
What was your first job?
Working in a furniture store—West Elm. A celebrity who will remain unnamed came in and ordered a ton of sh*t. It was gonna be a huge commission for me. I went to ring her up, and the card declined. She says, "I'll be back tomorrow." Never came back.
Who should play you in your biopic?
Olivia Rodrigo. You want someone younger and more beautiful than you to do it.
What's the most underrated movie, TV show, song, or album of all time?
Well, it wasn't underrated at the time, but I do think this new generation needs to get into The X Files. Gillian Anderson was my first celebrity crush. There's a new one coming out—Ryan Coogler's—it's gonna be amazing, I'm sure.

BEIJING/SINGAPORE, Aug 26 (Reuters) - China's Moonshot AI is negotiating revenue-sharing agreements with Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet's Google that would allow the U.S. cloud giants to host its blockbuster Kimi K3 model, three people familiar with the talks said.
Any deal could mark the first big revenue-sharing pact between a Chinese AI firm and a major U.S. cloud company.
The discussions highlight how China's leading AI models, often far cheaper than Western offerings, are gaining traction in the U.S., despite national security concerns in Washington that have led to bans on exports of AI chips to China. They are also taking place despite critical comments about Moonshot from senior U.S. officials.
IPO-bound Moonshot is seeking up to a 30% share of revenue generated from K3-related services on Microsoft's Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, according to the sources who declined to be identified because the discussions are private.
That would be in line with terms that sources have said the startup has outlined for major customers using the open-weight model.

Pentagon officials on Wednesday claimed they have uncovered classified documents that were "hidden away in safes where they would not be found" that shed new light on the chaotic end to the U.S. war in Afghanistan five years ago — but declined to offer public details of the revelations.
The claim comes hours before Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to participate in a Pentagon ceremony to upgrade the valor awards for service members who served at the Kabul International Airport during the final days of the conflict.
The end of the war — and the final days of the U.S. occupation, when 13 American service members were killed guarding the airport — have been a focal point of Republican criticism of former President Joe Biden's foreign policy decisions while in office.
GOP lawmakers have accused Biden of too abruptly ending military operations in Afghanistan, endangering American troops and handing over control of the country to the Taliban. Democratic supporters argue Biden's move brought to an end two decades of open-ended military missions that did little to improve national security.
The White House has labeled the final days of the war "one of the most shameful and heartbreaking moments in our nation's collective memory." Pentagon leaders established a new Afghanistan Withdrawal Special Review Panel to examine the decisions leading up to the American exit from Kabul and determine who deserves blame for the U.S. deaths there.

MOSCOW/WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. CIA Director John Ratcliffe spoke with Russian intelligence officials during a visit to Moscow but did not meet President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin said on Wednesday of a trip that U.S. President Donald Trump described as "semi-routine."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Putin had been briefed on the outcome of Tuesday's visit, which came as the war in Ukraine drags on and as efforts to reach a lasting peace between the United States and Iran have stalled.
Peskov declined to say what had been discussed or to provide any further details.
"All I can tell you is that there have been contacts via the security services. I can tell you that there have been no meetings with the Russian president. Naturally, President Putin is kept informed of everything without delay," said Peskov.
Trump, in a radio interview on Wednesday, did not say specifically why Ratcliffe had travelled to Moscow but said it could prove useful.

In case you haven't heard, the Washington Commanders had a tough day in Wednesday's joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens. With several starters sidelined, including three of the original five projected starting offensive linemen, almost everything was a struggle.
But not everything was bad.
Rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams had himself a day. In one rep, Williams beat Ravens All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton for a catch. On another rep, Williams beat one of the AFC's top young cornerbacks, Nate Wiggins.

Chelsea's Carabao Cup campaign begins at Stamford Bridge on Thursday against a Luton Town side still chasing a repeat of their sole major trophy, the 1988 League Cup.
History is firmly against the visitors: Luton have been eliminated in eight of their last nine EFL Cup ties against Premier League opposition, while Chelsea have advanced from 27 of their last 28 EFL Cup ties against sides from outside the top flight, a run stretching back to a penalty-shootout exit to Burnley in November 2008.
Luton head into the match unbeaten across three fixtures this season, coming from behind to beat Reading 4-3 on the opening weekend before a 2-2 draw with newly-promoted Notts County and a 3-0 win over Gillingham in the first round. Chelsea, by contrast, are still finding their feet under Xabi Alonso, whose competitive debut brought a 3-2 win at Fulham three days earlier. Thursday offers the new head coach an early look at squad depth before a testing run of fixtures ahead.
Date: Thursday, 27 August 2026Kick-off: 19:30 BSTVenue: Stamford BridgeReferee: Elliot BellLast meeting: Luton Town 2-3 Chelsea, Premier League, 30 December 2023
Jordan Henderson (wrist) and Emmanuel Emegha (hamstring) remain sidelined, and Wesley Fofana is suspended, serving the second of a two-match ban carried over from a red card against Sunderland last season. Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra both missed the win at Fulham after picking up injuries in training and remain doubts, with Caicedo more likely to return for the weekend. Alonso is expected to make wholesale changes and could hand full debuts to several summer signings.

Craven Cottage stages a first-ever competitive meeting between Fulham and AFC Wimbledon on Thursday, with a place in the Carabao Cup third round at stake.
Fulham enter off the back of a narrow 2-3 defeat to Chelsea on the Premier League's opening weekend, Alvaro Arbeloa's first game in charge, while Wimbledon have gone six matches without a win across all competitions and are yet to score in League One this season.
Wimbledon reached this stage only after Callum Maycock's dramatic 97th-minute equaliser forced a penalty shootout against Newport County, which the Dons went on to win. Fulham, whose 146-year history has never produced a major trophy, reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals last season and will see this competition as a realistic route to silverware. Steven Sessegnon, who began his career at Fulham before moving on, could line up for Wimbledon against his former club.
Date: Thursday, 27 August 2026Kick-off: 20:00 BSTVenue: Craven Cottage
Captain Tom Cairney remains sidelined with a knee injury and is not expected back until later in the autumn. Joachim Andersen is available again having served the final match of a three-game suspension against Chelsea, though Arbeloa may still use the tie to rest him. Several substitutes from the Chelsea game, including Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Muniz, Harrison Reed and Shea Charles, are pushing for starts.

The San Francisco 49ers are adding reinforcements on their defensive line before their preseason finale vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.
According to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson, the 49ers and edge rusher Jah Joyner agreed to a deal that will bring Joyner to the Bay Area for the final few days of the 49ers' preseason. Joyner tried out for the 49ers on Wednesday. There's no word yet on a corresponding move which the 49ers will have to make to keep their roster at the 90-player limit.
San Francisco is thin at defensive end with Nick Bosa sidelined by knee tendinitis and rookie Romello Height working through an ankle issue. If the 49ers are going to rest players that figure to be key contributors on their 90-man roster, they may be even thinner Thursday night when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if both Keion White and Sam Okuayinonu were among the players not suiting up for the 49ers.
This marks the second defensive end the 49ers have added in the final week of the preseason. They also signed former Dallas Cowboys fourth-round pick Viliami Fehoko. Joyner will get Thursday's game, and then as many as three practices to make his case to stick around as a practice squad candidate.
Joyner is with the UFL's Houston Gamblers after being released by the Dallas Renegades in March. His only NFL experience came last offseason with the Las Vegas Raiders where he landed as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 draft. He was let go at final cuts and never signed to another NFL club.

SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) announced a 40 trillion won, or approximately $28.6 billion, program to repurchase and cancel as many as 24.07 million common shares between August 20 and November 19. The shares represent approximately 3.3% of outstanding stock. The company's U.S.-listed ADSs initially gained nearly 4% on August 19 but closed only approximately 0.4% higher after falling 9% during the preceding session.
The timing creates the central tension. SK hynix has committed to return more than 50% of ***** ulative free cash flow generated from 2025 through 2027. For SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY), the question is whether that commitment reflects confidence in structural HBM demand or cash distribution near an unusually profitable point in the memory cycle.
SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) ended the second quarter with 69.4 trillion won of net cash after cash and short-term investments reached 88 trillion won, and debt declined to 18.6 trillion won. That position provides room to return capital while continuing its production expansion.
SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) will cancel the repurchased stock instead of retaining it as treasury shares. At unchanged profit, a 3.3% reduction in outstanding shares would lift earnings per share by approximately 3.4%. The economic payoff will ultimately depend on the purchase price and the returns the company could otherwise earn on the cash.
The program would also reverse the dilution from the July Nasdaq offering. SK hynix Inc. (NASDAQ:SKHY) issued 177.9 million ADSs representing 17.79 million new common shares and generated gross proceeds of $26.51 billion before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. A completed 24.07 million-share cancellation would retire approximately 6.28 million more common shares than the offering created.
