Ryan Nembhard sparks wild NBA Draft rumors after viral Indiana Pacers reunion speculation
Ryan Nembhard sparks wild NBA Draft rumors after viral Indiana Pacers reunion speculation (Image Source: Getty Images) All eyes are on the NBA Draft this week, and one familiar name is such that includes some buzz: Ryan Nembhard. The Gonzaga guard, listed at 5-foot-11, is projected to be selected in the second round. His brother, Andrew Nembhard, is currently on the Indiana Pacers. Ryan's passing and assist totals have made his way onto several mock draft boards, and the family reunion speculation in the Indiana Pacers has begun. Ryan Nembhard draws interest ahead of NBA Draft On June 25, NBA draft coverage highlighted Ryan Nembhard as a top second-round prospect. He ranked between picks 51 and 58 in mock drafts, depending on the outlet. According to USA Today's For The Win, Ryan Nembhard is projected to be picked by the Indiana Pacers in the second round, reuniting him with his brother, Andrew Nembhard. Sports Illustrated has him going to the Los Angeles Clippers at No. 51. Meanwhile, ESPN projects him to the Cleveland Cavaliers at No. 58. These projections show NBA teams value Ryan Nembhard's leadership and playmaking. Gonzaga's point guard boasts eye-popping assists and sharp comparisons Ryan Nembhard lit up Gonzaga University during the 2024–25 season, averaging 9.8 assists per game. That number led the nation and broke school and conference records. His skill set is often compared to NBA guards TJ McConnell and Tyus Jones - slim, smart, and effective despite their size. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] 2025 Best Luxury Hotel Prices Expertinspector Learn More Undo Teammates and co-workers praise his court IQ. As one analyst put it: 'He's a dream point guard for teammates'. At 22 years old and standing 5'11", he brings high energy and low turnovers. This makes him a strong candidate for a two-way contract or second-round pick. His brother Andrew Nembhard, now with the Indiana Pacers, has been a key contributor since being drafted in 2022. If Ryan Nembhard lands in Indiana Pacers at No. 54, the family would be reunited, on court and at home. Fans and analysts are buzzing: How appropriate would it be for NBA veteran TJ McConnell to mentor a player with a similar style? Ryan Nembhard's journey from Gonzaga to a possible NBA draft pick is one to watch. With big-game vision, leadership, and a brother already in the league, he could be one of this year's most inspiring second-round success stories.

Iskcon, Mahesh, Puri... and now Digha: Tolly ponders over problem of plenty
Kolkata: Many in Tollywood visit Puri during Rath Yatra to offer prayers to Lord Jagannath, whom they believe they owe their success in the film industry to. Others join the festivities at Mahesh Rath Yatra in Serampore and the Iskcon Rath Yatra festival. Now, with the Rath Yatra at Digha's Jagannath temple lined up, schedules are being juggled to accommodate a visit there as well. Actor Subhashree Ganguly has been visiting Puri on Rath Yatra for the past decade. "I visit the Puri temple on 'Ulto Rath' and the plans remain the same this year. I have to offer my prayer to the deity in Puri after the success of 'Grihapravesh' and seek blessings for the next venture, 'Lawho Gouranger Naam Re'," said Ganguly. But she is yet to visit the Jagannath temple in Digha. "I have heard a lot of good things about the temple. I am juggling my schedule and plan to go there as soon as I can," she added. On Friday, Ganguly will be in Kolkata for the puja at her residence. For three years, music director and film-maker Indraadip Das Gupta has become a regular at Puri's 'Ulto Rath'. "I will go to Puri on July 5 and return on the 6th. I am keen on going to the Digha temple on Rath Yatra but I have some professional commitments on that day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo I am wondering how to adjust my schedule," Das Gupta said.

"I owe my success to Lord Jagannath ," Sarkar said. It has been a tradition for him to visit Puri both during Rath Yatra and 'Ulto Rath'. "Most of my friends from Tollywood attend the 'Ulto Rath' festival. Every year, a group of my friends visits Puri on 'Ulto Rath' to witness the ritual of 'raaj besh'. This year, too, I will be going there," Sarkar said. On Friday, he will be attending a puja at his Kolkata home. "Offering my prayers to Lord Jagannath is not location-specific for me. There is no competition between Digha and Puri. Even a small roadside temple of the deity is sacred for me. I plan to visit the Jagannath temple in Digha as soon as possible. Mayapur is equally important for me in this connection. I am associated with Gaudiya Math and have often served as Sarathi of Ratha of Sri Chaitanya Math Rath Yatra in my childhood. But I visit Mayapur on Dol Purnima," Sarkar said.

Taylor Fritz vs Joao Fonseca: Lexus Eastbourne Open clash suspended due to darkness
The Lexus Eastbourne Open clash between top seed Taylor Fritz and young star Joao Fonseca got suspended due to darkness. The exciting second-round tennis match was stopped after each player won one set. Taylor Fritz, the top-ranked American, started strong, winning the first set 6-3 in just 26 minutes. His powerful serves and skillful shots managed to keep Fonseca on the defensive. But the 18-year-old Brazilian ranked No. 57 in the PIF ATP Rankings, didn't give up, and fought back. The second set was much closer, going to a tiebreak. At 5-5, Fritz was just two points from winning the match, but Joao Fonseca made an impressive volley near the ground to claim a set point. He won the tiebreak 7-6(5), leading to a tie in the match with one set each. Aces: Fritz - 14, Fonseca - 7 Double faults: Fritz - 2, Fonseca - 1 First serve %: Fritz - 72%, Fonseca - 68% Break Points: Fritz - 1/3, Fonseca - 0/1 Tiebreaks won: Fritz - 0, Fonseca - 1 Points won: Fritz - 67, Fonseca - 67 Games won: Fritz - 12, Fonseca - 10 As the second set ended, the light on the court was fading fast. Fritz said, 'It's already getting pretty hard, what's the point of playing two games? There's no chance, it's going to be dark…' Fonseca agreed to his suggestion, and the umpire decided to stop the match before the third set could start. Both players will now have to wait for the game to be resumed. The clash will continue on Thursday, not before 12 PM local time. The winner of this match will play American Marcos Giron in the quarterfinals of the Lexus Eastbourne Open, later on Thursday. Fritz, who won the ATP 250 title in Stuttgart two weeks ago, has a 21-11 record this season, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. Fonseca, on the other hand, is aiming for his first win against a Top 5 player in his first-ever match against Fritz.
