NBA's 80th season tips off with Rockets at Thunder on October 21
Reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City will play host to the Houston Rockets on October 21 to tip off the league's 80th season, NBA officials announced on Tuesday. The Thunder will raise their championship banner before reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his teammates face the Kevin Durant-led Rockets. The game will be the first of two on opening night for the 2025-26 season with the later start featuring the Golden State Warriors at the Los Angeles Lakers, as Golden State star guard Stephen Curry and Lakers' playmaker LeBron James -- both four-time NBA champions -- meet for the 57th time in their iconic careers. James, a 40-year-old forward, will become the first player in NBA history to compete in a 23rd NBA campaign while teammate Luka Doncic plays in his first season opener as a Laker. Durant, a two-time NBA champion and 2014 NBA MVP, was traded from Phoenix to Houston last month as part of an NBA record seven-team deal. The league also confirmed some other contest dates, including its Christmas schedule, ahead of Thursday's release of the full NBA schedule for the 2025-26 campaign. The December 25 lineup includes five NBA games, starting with Cleveland at New York, the Knicks having made a record 57 Christmas appearances. San Antonio will visit Oklahoma City in the Thunder's first game on December 25 since 2018 followed by Dallas at Golden State with ex-Warrior Klay Thompson returning to San Francisco with the Mavericks, then Houston at the Lakers and Minnesota at Denver. On the second night of the season on October 22, the Cleveland Cavaliers will visit New York while the San Antonio Spurs open their season at Dallas in the NBA debuts for top NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg of Dallas and second choice Dylan Harper of the Spurs, who also welcome back French star Victor Wembanyama after he missed the end of last season with deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder. The following night sees Oklahoma City at Indiana in a rematch of last season's NBA Finals followed by Denver at Golden State with three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic of the Nuggets facing two-time NBA MVP Curry. October 27 will see Cleveland at Detroit and Denver at Minnesota. Martin Luther King Jr. Day games on January 19 will include Milwaukee at Atlanta, Oklahoma City at Cleveland, Dallas at New York and Boston at Detroit. js/ea

MLB postseason schedule: League unveils 2025 playoff, World Series dates
A number of division might still be up for grabs, but the MLB postseason is just around the corner. With roughly seven weeks to go in the regular season, the league announced dates for all 2025 playoff games Tuesday, including the World Series. The action will begin Sept. 30, when every wild-card team is in action. It will wrap — at the latest — Nov. 1. At that point, we'll have our next World Series winner. Here's how all the action will shake out: MLB wild-card series dates The wild-card games will take place between Sept. 30 and — if necessary — Oct. 2. All eight teams will play Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. If any wild-card series is tied after the first two games, a third game will be held Oct. 2 to determine a winner. The wild-card series will air on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2. The league did not announce any game times for any of its postseason series at the time. Tuesday, Sept. 30 American League Wild Card A, Game 1 American League Wild Card B, Game 1 National League Wild Card A, Game 1 National League Wild Card B, Game 1 Wednesday, Oct. 1 American League Wild Card A, Game 2 American League Wild Card B, Game 2 National League Wild Card A, Game 2 National League Wild Card B, Game 2 Thursday, Oct. 2 American League Wild Card A, Game 3* American League Wild Card B, Game 3* National League Wild Card A, Game 3* National League Wild Card B, Game 3* *(if necessary) MLB division series dates The division series will begin Saturday, Oct. 4 and run through Sat.

The ALDS will be on Fox, FS1 and Fox Deportes. The NLDS will air on TBS, truTV and HBO Max. Saturday, Oct. 4 ALDS A, Game 1 ALDS B, Game 1 NLDS A, Game 1 NLDS B, Game 1 Sunday, Oct. 5 ALDS A, Game 2 ALDS B, Game 2 Monday, Oct. 6 NLDS A, Game 2 NLDS B, Game 2 Tuesday, Oct. 7 ALDS A, Game 3 ALDS B, Game 3 Wednesday, Oct. 8 NLDS A, Game 3 NLDS B, Game 3 ALDS A, Game 4* ALDS B, Game 4* Thursday, Oct. 9 NLDS A, Game 4* NLDS B, Game 4* Friday, Oct. 10 ALDS A, Game 5* ALDS B, Game 5* Saturday, Oct. 11 NLDS A, Game 5* NLDS B, Game 5* *(if necessary) MLB league championship series dates The league championships will take place between Oct. 12 and Oct. 21. League championship series are a best-of-seven format. Teams need to win four games in the series to advance.

Friday, Oct. 24 Game 1, at better 2025 record Saturday, Oct. 25 Game 2, at better 2025 record Monday, Oct. 27 Game 3 Tuesday, Oct. 28 Game 4 Wednesday, Oct. 29 Game 5* Friday, Oct. 31 Game 6*, at better 2025 record Saturday, Nov. 1 Game 7*, at better 2025 record *(if necessary) With seven weeks to play, a number of divisions and wild-card spots are still up for grabs. The Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers hold the largest division leads at 6.5 games. While both teams stand an extremely strong chance of making the playoffs, they don't hold large enough leads to guarantee they will win their divisions. The wild-card races are even more jumbled, with three teams in each league out of the wild card by fewer than 5.0 games. That should make for some pretty exciting baseball down the stretch.

Former Longhorns WR uses first NFL contract to buy his grandmother a new home
When former Texas Longhorns WR Matthew Golden was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Houston native said his first major purchase after signing his first NFL contract would be to buy his grandmother a new house. Golden has made good on that promise. Golden's family lost the house a few years ago. He was very clear what he was going to do with his money. 'Definitely get my grandma a house, man,' Golden told reporters during draft week. 'We lost our property a couple of years ago. That's somewhere I grew up when I was younger. It'd be a blessing to be able to get that back for my family. That's where they all grew up, that's where I grew up. I always told myself I wanted to do that and now I'm in the position to do it, so if it's bound to happen, I'm gonna make it happen for sure.' His grandmother's original home wasn't a viable purchasing option, so Golden found something better. Golden found a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house to purchase in Kohrville, Texas, only miles from where Golden grew up. 'My grandmother has done so much for me, and I'm humbled to be able to give back to her in this way,' Golden said in a press release from his relator company REMAX. 'While we weren't able to purchase our family home, we've found a house in an area that's also meaningful to me. Home is where my family is and I'm excited for us to enjoy many meals, holidays and football watch parties together.' Golden, 21, was selected with the 23rd overall pick, making him the first wide receiver drafted in the first round by the Packers since 2002. His journey to the NFL included standout seasons at both Houston and Texas, capped by a senior year in which he caught 58 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns, tying for the most touchdown receptions in the SEC. "Being able to buy this dream house means everything to me," Golden said. "I can't describe this feeling. It might be a little bit better than getting drafted. This is a big milestone for me." Golden's story has resonated with Packers fans, many of whom have celebrated the team's decision to draft a player who brings both talent and heart to Green Bay. As he prepares for his NFL debut, Golden's first major purchase will bring his family back home. Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.
