'We're hoping that with our time here on the field today, when we don't have a script and we're on the call-it periods, that we're making great decisions. So, the message will be the same for all our players, that we're trying to make great decisions. Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club,' he said.
A reporter called to attention that Diggs 'was in attendance last week.'
Diggs has been enjoying the offseason with Cardi B, whom he has been linked to in recent months.

NBA Had One Word for Tyrese Haliburton Amid Playoff Success
NBA Had One Word for Tyrese Haliburton Amid Playoff Success originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA is honoring one of the postseason's top stars. The league celebrated Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton for his successful playoff performances in a new video posted to its official X account on Tuesday. Advertisement 'Tyrese Haliburton's 2025 Postseason: Unforgettable,' reads the post's caption. As the highlight reel rolls, Nat King Cole's 'Unforgettable' is heard playing in the background to set the tone. Haliburton, 25, helped Indiana reach its first NBA finals since 2000, when they were defeated by the Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal-led Los Angeles Lakers 4-2. In this season's playoffs, he helped the Pacers defeat the division rival Milwaukee Bucks 4-1 in the first round. Haliburton helped them seal the 119-118 Game 5 victory on April 29 by scoring 26 points. In the second round against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the All-Star guard spearheaded a miraculous Game 2 comeback by scoring 19 points and hitting the game-winning three-point shot of a 120-119 victory. He then helped his team eliminate the Cavaliers by winning the series 4-1. Advertisement Halliburton's heroics continued in the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks, who they defeated 4-2. In a callback to Game 2 against Cleveland, he helped the Pacers come back from a 17-point deficit in Game 1 by scoring 31 points and passing out 11 assists to end with a double-double.

5 standout Patriots players from third open OTAs practice
5 standout Patriots players from third open OTAs practice The New England Patriots kick-started their last week of OTAs with their final open practice for the media on Monday. Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs made his first appearance at an open practice for the Patriots, but he was a limited participant due to his continued rehab from the ACL injury he suffered last season. With Kendrick Bourne out and Ja'Lynn Polk limited, that opened the door for other receivers to step into more prominent roles on offense. Speaking of the offense, this was the best practice by the unit through all three of the open OTA sessions. It was a good way to wrap up for an offense that ranked among the worst in the league last season. They have dealt with numerous changes in the offseason, and things appear to be trending in the right direction. Here are five standout players from the Patriots' third OTAs practice: WR Efton Chism III Undrafted rookie Efton Chism III is quickly becoming one of the most surprising storylines of the Patriots' offseason. The run of strong performances continued on Monday for the former Eastern Washington standout, who hauled in a perfect 7-of-7 passes thrown in his direction. He was getting the top reps with Drake Maye on the field, along with Demario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kyle Williams. QB Drake Maye This was a major bounce-back practice for Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense. The second-year quarterback looked sharp in competitive 11-on-11s, going 14-of-16 passing during the practice. It was a good sign to see the offense finally settle into things and get some wins against the defense. Maye's confidence continues to grow every time he steps onto the field, and that should only continue as he becomes more comfortable with Josh McDaniels' offense. S Josh Minkins Undrafted rookie safety Josh Minkins gets a mention here for his interception on fellow rookie Ben Wooldridge. It was the only interception of the competitive period. Minkins will need more plays like that in training camp, given the ridiculous competition at safety this year. Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers sit at the top of the depth chart with Marte Mapu, Jaylinn Hawkins, Dell Pettus and rookie Craig Woodson currently serving as the reserve options. RB Rhamondre Stevenson Don't forget about Rhamondre Stevenson. It's crazy that it even needs to be said about the guy at the top of the running back depth chart. Stevenson probably had the best play of the practice after hauling in a dime of a throw from Drake Maye on a deep wheel route down the sideline. Even with the arrival of explosive rookie TreVeyon Henderson, Stevenson will still have a major role on the Patriots' offense. WR Demario Douglas Demario Douglas was the Patriots' leading wide receiver for the 2024 season. Even with the new receiver additions, Douglas continues to prove how valuable he is to the offense. He snagged all four of the balls thrown in his direction at Monday's practice. It will be fun to see what Douglas is capable of in an offense where he isn't perceived as the top receiving threat. The arrival of Stefon Diggs and Kyle Williams could open up even more opportunities for him to make plays in the slot. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Draymond Green doubts Knicks can win title without ‘great player'
The post Draymond Green doubts Knicks can win title without 'great player' appeared first on ClutchPoints. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green cast doubt on the New York Knicks' championship outlook in the aftermath of their Eastern Conference Finals exit, emphasizing the need for a true star to lead the franchise to a title. Advertisement Green addressed the Knicks' future on a recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, stating bluntly that New York is still not equipped to win it all. 'As far as the Knicks going forward, I think going forward in order to win it ain't there yet,' Green said. 'I just don't foresee it. I think in order to win the Knicks need to bring in a great player. I can't talk specific names because I'm not going to give my money away for that, but if the Knicks want to compete for a championship I think they need a great player.' The comments follow the Knicks' elimination by the Indiana Pacers in six games, cutting short a postseason run that saw the franchise reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. Despite making key additions last offseason — most notably Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns — New York ultimately fell short in its bid to return to the NBA Finals. Despite Jalen Brunson's playoff brilliance, Draymond Green says Knicks need a 'great player' Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Jalen Brunson once again delivered an elite postseason performance. The All-NBA guard averaged 29.4 points, seven assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 46.1% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range across 18 games. He played 37.8 minutes per contest and carried much of the offensive load. Advertisement Still, the absence of another top-tier shot creator or All-NBA-caliber star appeared to loom large in the series loss to Indiana. In the aftermath of the season-ending defeat, ESPN's Shams Charania reported on SportsCenter that the Knicks are conducting internal meetings this week to evaluate their path forward. 'I'm told the Knicks have internal meetings this week to really evaluate everything from their coaches to their players and just see how they move forward to continue to compete for a championship in the Eastern Conference,' Charania said. 'But if we've seen the last year and a half as any indication, for Leon Rose, the Knicks president, went out and got OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns to elevate this team. I do expect the Knicks to be aggressive to see, is there a move out there, a landmark move, potentially, that takes this team over the top, or do they just make moves around the edges for their bench?' Knicks part ways with Tom Thibodeau as pursuit of star talent like Giannis or Durant looms New York has already made a significant change, firing head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday, according to Charania. Thibodeau, hired ahead of the 2020-21 season, led the team to four playoff appearances in five years, missing only in 2021-22. Advertisement Ian Begley of SNY reported that the organization holds 'great respect for Thibodeau and what he did for [the] Knicks, but simply felt a new voice was needed.' The Knicks have been linked to potential trade pursuits of Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. As the team prepares for the 2025-26 season, Green's remarks reflect a broader belief that one more elite player may be the missing piece.
