NBA reveals 2025 Mexico City matchup
The post NBA reveals 2025 Mexico City matchup appeared first on ClutchPoints. Mexico will get to see NBA stars play in a regular-season game in the 2025-26 season. The league announced on Tuesday that the Dallas Mavericks and the Detroit Pistons will be the teams sharing the court in a game in Mexico City in November. Advertisement 'The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Zignia Live today announced that The NBA Mexico City Game 2025 will feature the Dallas Mavericks and the Detroit Pistons playing a regular-season game hosted by Zignia Live at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City on Saturday, Nov. 1.,' the leagues' statement read (via the NBA's official website). Mexico has been a frequent host for NBA games, and this upcoming matchup between the Mavericks and the Pistons is not the first time that the two teams will face off in a location south of the border. Back in 2019, Dallas defeated the Pistons at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico via a 122-111 score. Then-Mavs franchise face Luka Doncic put on a show in that contest, as the Slovenian star guard erupted for a total of 41 points on a 14-for-24 shooting from the field while also knocking down six 3-pointers. He added 12 rebounds and 11 assists for a triple-double in just 34 minutes of action. The Pistons, on the other hand, were led by Andre Drummond, who shined with a double-double stat line of 23 points and 14 boards to go with three steals and an assist in 34 minutes of floor duty. This time around, however, the Mavericks will not have Doncic to lead them after trading him to the Los Angeles Lakers last February. But Dallas still has the likes of Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson. There is also the potential that the Mavericks will have Cooper Flagg on the roster by then, with Dallas holding the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Advertisement The Pistons, on the other hand, are now spearheaded by the talented Cade Cunningham, who's surrounded by a young but evolving supporting cast, including the likes of Jalen Duren, Jaden Ivey and Ausar Thompson. The Dallas-Detroit 2025 game in Mexico will be the 34th NBA game there since 1992 and the first since the Miami Heat defeated the Washington Wizards in November of 2024, 118-98.

Warriors Make Major Brandin Podziemski Announcement on Wednesday
Warriors Make Major Brandin Podziemski Announcement on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It was a successful season for the Golden State Warriors as they were able to turn things around after their early struggles and advance to the second round of the playoffs. Advertisement Of course, the addition of Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline to pair alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green was a major factor in Golden State's turnaround as he made them into a contender. Now the Warriors enter the offseason looking to build around their veteran trio to chase a championship next season. While Butler and Curry shared most of the spotlight for the Warriors heading into next season, Golden State has also done a great job developing some of their young talent including both Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski. © Troy Taormina-Imagn Images For Podziemski, he put together a career-best season in his second year in the NBA as he fit well next to Curry in the backcourt and he has proved that he is going to be one of the franchise's key young players for their future. Advertisement On Wednesday, the Warriors made a major announcement regarding Podziemski. Golden State announced that Podziemski underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair a core muscle injury and that he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. This was a surprising announcement by the Warriors, especially after the 22-year-old guard had already underwent successful left wrist debridement surgery on May 27. The good news for Golden State is that Podziemski is expected to be ready for training camp, which will be crucial for him as he will likely be their starting shooting guard next season.

Christian music star Michael Tait admits to ‘double life' amid sexual assault, drug abuse allegations: ‘Sadly, largely true'
Grammy award-winning Christian rock singer Michael Tait admitted the drug abuse and sexual assault accusations against him are 'mostly true,' in his first public comments since the bombshell claims surfaced. Tait, the former frontman for Newsboys and DC Talk, said he was living a double life as he allegedly abused hardcore substances with younger men before making unwanted advances toward them, according to Christian media outlet The Roys Report. The 59-year-old addressed the accusations in an Instagram post titled, 'My Confession — June 10, 2025.' Advertisement 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true,' Tait wrote. 'For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way.' 'I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. I don't blame anyone or anything but myself. While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them,' he added. 5 Michael Tait sings for the Newsboys during the 49th Annual Dove Awards on Oct. 16, 2018 in Nashville, Tenn. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Advertisement The report, published June 4, featured sourcing from 50 people, including three men who claim they were targets of Tait's non-consensual sexual advances when they were in their early 20s.

The men claim Tait offered them alcohol or cocaine and later touched them non-consensually, according to The Roys Report. 5 The 59-year-old addressed the accusations in a post to Instagram, titled 'My Confession – June 10, 2025.' @michaeltait/Instagram Advertisement Tait, who abruptly left Newsboys in January because he was 'living a double life,' said he split with the award-winning group 'to get help.'

'I'm ashamed to admit that for years I have lied and deceived my family, friends, fans and even mislef my bandmates about aspects of my life,' Tait said. 'I was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives. I was not the same person on stage Sunday night as I was at home on Monday.' The current members of Newsboys — Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Adam Agee — were left 'shattered' over the allegations against Tait. 'Last night our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait,' the band wrote on Instagram Tuesday. 'First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault.' The band was aware of Tait's 'double life' but said they never imagined how bad it could be.

'As the investigation proceeds, our prayers are with all those involved. In the meantime, our Programming Team is resting Newsboys and DC Talk music on our stream.' Tait admitted to being on a path of repentance and started a journey of healing with clinical health professionals, counselors and family. 'I have hurt so many people in so many ways, and I will live with that shameful reality the rest of my life. I can only dream and pray for human forgiveness, because I certainly don't deserve it,' he said. 'I have even accepted the thought that God may be the only One who ultimately and completely forgives me.'
