Tayton Conerway scouting report, highlights
Conerway is more than willing to drive to the basket — particularly off of a ball screen — absorb contact and create for himself or others. He's also a willing rebounder and ballhawk on defense. He's not much of a 3-point shooter.

Caitlin Clark Nearly at a Loss for Words After Taylor Swift News
Caitlin Clark Nearly at a Loss for Words After Taylor Swift News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark couldn't be more hyped up after it was confirmed that Taylor Swift will be the next guest on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. On Monday, speculation mounted that Swift would make an appearance on her boyfriend's podcast after the show posted a teaser that seemingly featured her silhouette in the promo image. Jason Kelce can also be seen wearing a Swift t-shirt in the same photo. Hours later, "New Heights" confirmed the rumors by posting a clip from the upcoming episode showing Travis Kelce and Swift sitting together. "Taylor's about to do a [expletive] podcast!" the podcast's account wrote. "NEW EPISODE WEDS 7PM ET." Clark was among the first to react, and her excitement was clear from her message. In the comment section of "New Heights" Instagram post, she was left nearly speechless and could only write, "AHHHHHHH!!!!!! LFGGGGGG." The Fever playmaker, who is currently recovering from a groin injury that has sidelined her since mid-July, also reposted the clip on her Instagram Stories. To be fair to Clark, the rest of the fans are equally overjoyed — just like her. "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran even wrote, "I FEEL SO HIGH SCHOOL." The Cleveland Cavaliers also commented, "*admin's brain is short circuiting*." A fan added, "I have heart palpitations." Another follower said in excitement, "are you trying to kill me??" Sure enough, it's not surprising to see Clark ecstatic. After all, she's a big Swiftie and even attended the singer's "Eras Tour" concert in Indiana on back-to-back days last November 2024. She's also a big supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs, which she told Travis Kelce when she was a guest on a "New Heights" episode last January. The special episode featuring Swift is set to drop on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. Sure enough, it's safe to expect that the episode will break the internet once it's available to story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lakers jersey history No. 3 — Manny Harris
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary. As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years. Here's a look at Manny Harris, a guard who briefly played for the Lakers. Harris had a solid three seasons at the University of Michigan, where he averaged 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists a game and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2009 as a sophomore. However, he went unselected in the 2010 NBA Draft. After spending his first two pro seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Harris played with BC Azovmash in Ukraine during the 2012-13 season. He signed with the Orlando Magic just prior to the 2013-14 campaign, and he then moved on to the Lakers' G League (then known as the NBA Development League) squad in December. In January 2014, he signed his first of two 10-day contracts with the big-league Lakers. He appeared in nine games for them and averaged 8.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in 20 minutes a game. Harris went on to make the D-League All-Star Game that season. Afterward, he played four games for the Dallas Mavericks during the 2016-17 season, and other than that, he has had stints with numerous foreign pro basketball teams. For the past couple of years, he has been with Al Riyadi Beirut of the Lebanese Basketball League.
