Is star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown about to take another leap?
Whether or not he will have the level of supporting cast to do so is another question entirely with the departure of players like Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Luke Kornet. But could this scenario still provide the perfect palate for Brown to showcase his ability to lead a team nonetheless?
The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from a recent episode of their "Greg Hill Show" touching on this specific topic. Check it out below!

LeBron James and Maverick Carter were seen with Nikola Jokic's agent
There has been a lot of talk lately that LeBron James, one way or another, is on his way out as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and that they will look to essentially replace him with another superstar within the next couple of years. The belief is that the Lakers will try to go after either Giannis Antetokounmpo or Nikola Jokić next summer or during the summer of 2027. They reportedly want to keep a lot of salary cap space free for that purpose, which has led some to feel that they will essentially punt the next season or two and not try to win the NBA championship during that time. On his Instagram account, Misko Raznatovic, Jokic's agent, posted a photo of him with James and James' business manager, Maverick Carter, along with a cryptic caption. 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026!' This will undoubtedly spark speculation about James' future beyond the next handful of months. There have already been many rumors that he will eventually ask the Lakers to trade him soon, even though he exercised his player option for the 2025-26 season. Jokic, the three-time NBA MVP, who many still feel is the best basketball player in the world, can opt out of his current contract in the 2027 offseason. He just became the third player in league history to average a triple-double for an entire season, but he lost out on the 2024-25 regular-season MVP award to the Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Marcus Morris Sr.'s mugshot released after Florida arrest
The post Marcus Morris Sr.'s mugshot released after Florida arrest appeared first on ClutchPoints. Former NBA forward Marcus Morris Sr. was arrested on Sunday, July 27, 2025, in Broward County, Florida, on a felony fraud charge related to allegedly writing a bad check. According to TMZ and local booking records, Morris is being held without bond due to an out-of-state warrant. Authorities have since released his mugshot, but no further official comment or case details have been made public. The 35-year-old Morris, a 13-year NBA veteran, most recently played in the 2024 playoffs with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He started one game during the injury-plagued postseason run. Before that, he briefly signed a training camp deal with the New York Knicks in September 2024 but was waived within two weeks. Drafted 14th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets, Morris carved out a lengthy and productive NBA career. He played for eight franchises, the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Over 783 career games, he averaged 12.0 points on 43.5% shooting (37.7% from three), along with 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. His best statistical stretch came during the 2019–20 season with the Knicks, where he averaged a career-high 19.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over 43 games before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. Morris also played a significant role in the Boston Celtics' 2018 Eastern Conference Finals appearance, further cementing his reputation as a reliable two-way forward. Off the court, Marcus Morris transitioned into media following the 2023–24 season, making appearances on ESPN shows like First Take and Get Up alongside his twin brother, Markieff Morris. The brothers, renowned for their close bond since their college days at Kansas, have followed nearly identical paths through basketball and media. However, legal troubles are not new to Marcus Morris. In 2012, he entered a diversion program after punching a bar employee in Lawrence, Kansas. In 2015, both Morris twins and Gerald Bowman were charged with aggravated assault in a separate incident, all charges were eventually dropped.

Knicks reserve guard could see increased role next season
New York Knicks guard Miles McBride could be the biggest beneficiary of Mike Brown being hired as the team's new head coach. Per SNY's Ian Begley, McBride could see an increased role compared to his role under Tom Thibodeau. 'We don't know how Knicks coach Mike Brown will deploy his rotation. But it's logical to think that McBride will play significant minutes with Clarkson and Yabusele,' Begley said. In the past, it would appear at times as though McBride wasn't being utilized properly in the rotation. Now with Brown, it's possible that McBride could see an increased role in the offense. McBride has the ability to play in several different types of lineups for the Knicks thanks to his ability to space the floor and defend at a high level. McBride himself spoke with Begley about sharing the second unit with new acquisitions Jordan Clarkson, and Guerschon Yabusele. 'Obviously (Clarkson's) a vet in this league. He's done great things,' McBride said, per Begley. 'Obviously, he can fill up the stat sheet and really score the ball at a high level. And obviously adding Geurschon as well. I think everybody's seen what he did in the Olympics and carrying that momentum into (last season), so we're really excited about him.' 'I feel like we're going to play fast, we're going to be using a lot of different guys,' he added. 'If you saw the Finals, they (Oklahoma City and Indiana) had a lot of depth on both teams, and I feel like we're all NBA guys. So if you're on the team, I feel like you're able to help out.' McBride averaged a career-best 9.5 points per game last season off the bench, and shot 37 percent from three-point range. Next year could be a breakout season for him should he get an increased role.
