Now that the Boston Celtics sale is official, with the CT Sun stay in New England?
Former Boston minority owner Steve Pagliuca tried to buy the Sun to move them to the city his former team calls home, but the WNBA pushed back in a very public manner, and now it is not clear if the Sun will move to another market entirely instead, to Hartford under a group led by former Milwaukee Bucks owner Mark Lasry, or if the team will end up headed to Boston via expansion (under Chisholm) in the future, or Pagliuca in the present.
To get a better idea of what is going on with all of this debacle, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with SB Nation's Noa Dalzell to talk it over. Check it out below!

Luka Dončić has knee collision scare during Eurobasket exhibition, but avoids serious injury
Luka Dončić put a scare into the Los Angeles Lakers and their fans, in addition to NBA followers, when he left Saturday's FIBA Eurobasket exhibition between Slovenia and Latvia with what appeared to be a knee injury. However, Dončić was apparently all right and wanted to return to the game, so the Lakers don't have to worry about their recent $165 million investment suffering a concerning injury as they plan a future beyond LeBron James. The play in question occurred in the third quarter when teammate Gregor Hrovat fell into Dončić's knee while backpedaling on defense. Dončić was planted in the lane, battling for position. Following the collision, Dončić sat down on a chair to compose himself though didn't appear to be in visible pain.

He walked off the court without assistance but was favoring his right leg as he left. Dončić eventually returned from the locker room and appeared to be fine, though he had an ice bag on his knee as he sat on the bench still in full uniform. He wanted to return to the game, but the Slovenia medical staff recommended against it, according to the broadcast. The Athletic's Dan Wolke reported on social media that a source told him serious injury was avoided. Prior to leaving the game, Dončić scored 26 points in 17 minutes with 4 rebounds and 5 assists. In addition to his max contract extension, Dončić has made headlines this summer by improving his conditioning and diet, losing "significant weight" during offseason workouts. His leaning down earned him a cover story for "Men's Health," and he claims to have lost 31 pounds. Dončić and the Slovenian national team will begin official Eurobasket play when the tournament begins on Aug. 27. Slovenia will tip off against Poland on Aug. 28. Other NBA stars playing in the international tournament include Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece), Nikola Jokić (Serbia), Alperin Sengun (Turkey), Lauri Markkanen (Finland) and Kristaps Porziņģis (Latvia).

Amazon Prime Makes Knicks Announcement Before 2025-26 NBA Season
Amazon Prime Makes Knicks Announcement Before 2025-26 NBA Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA offseason has quieted down since the end of the Las Vegas Summer League as teams now prepare for the start of training camp before the start of the 2025-26 season. Of course, the 2025-26 season begins on October 21 on NBC when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Houston Rockets. While this is a massive matchup to tip off the new season with the NBA's return to NBC, it is not the only new network that will broadcasting games next season as Amazon Prime will also show select games next season on their streaming service. Knicks among teams featured in Amazon Prime's NBA streaming debut On Wednesday, Amazon Prime made a massive announcement as they revealed that their first games will come on October 24. The two games featured to begin Amazon Prime's NBA era will feature the New York Knicks taking on the Boston Celtics along with the Minnesota Timberwolves facing off against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is massive news, especially for the Knicks, as they will host the first game ever streamed on Amazon Prime next season in an Eastern Conference showdown with the Celtics. For the Knicks, they are set to enter next season as one of the favorites to win the East due to their core of Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart. New York also upgraded their bench this summer by signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele in the free agency and they will also enter next season with a new head coach in Mike Brown after firing Tom Thibodeau to begin their offseason. While there has been a ton of change in New York, their core has stayed the same and they are looking to build off their impressive season last year that saw them reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. Of course, they will have a tough test against Jaylen Brown and the Celtics to tip off Amazon Prime's NBA coverage as the Knicks try to start their season off strong as they chase a championship. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Paige Bueckers responds to Sophie Cunningham's officiating criticisms
Paige Bueckers essentially responded to criticism from fellow WNBA star Sophie Cunningham with a shrug. Following the Indiana Fever's one-point loss to Bueckers and the Dallas Wings earlier this week, Cunningham publicly lamented what she believed were favorable calls for the former UConn point guard. 4 Paige Bueckers guarded by Sophie Cunningham on Aug. 1. AP Bueckers scored 16 points but only attempted four free throws in the win. 'I love Paige to death, do not get me wrong. I think she's a hell of a player and would love to play with her one day, but those refs were giving her every whistle last night,' Cunningham said Wednesday on her 'Show Me Something' podcast. 'You literally couldn't touch her, couldn't touch her. That s–t is so annoying to me. 'And if you're going to do that, then give it to our guards. I just hate the inconsistency.' Asked for her response before Friday's 97-96 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, Buckers told reporters, 'Everyone is entitled to their own unique personal opinion.' Bueckers, the first overall pick in the 2025 draft, is averaging 18.8 points and 5.4 assists in her first 27 WNBA games. 4 Bueckers (l) and Cunningham (r) battle for a rebound.
