Tyrese Haliburton returns to college, proposes to girlfriend on basketball court
Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton proposed to his girlfriend, Jade Jones, at center court of Hilton Coliseum at Iowa State where both attended college. On one knee next to hundreds or rose petals and a large lighted sign that read 'WILL YOU MARRY ME?' Haliburton had an engagement ring. She said yes. 'The place where our story started, and where our next chapter begins❤️💍,' Haliburton wrote on Instagram. Haliburton was also wearing a walking boot to help recover from a torn Achilles tendon sustained in the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City last month and a knee walker was next to Haliburton to help him keep weight off that leg. Haliburton and Jones met at Iowa State – he played for the men's basketball team and she was a cheerleader – and have been dating since college. Haliburton played two seasons at Iowa State and was the No. 12 pick by the Sacramento Kings in the 2020 NBA Draft. The Kings traded Haliburton to Indiana in 2022, and he helped the Pacers reach the Finals this season. He won a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and made the All-NBA team the past two seasons.

Canada's Michelle Plouffe announces retirement after career with women's, 3x3 national teams teams
Three-time Olympian Michelle Plouffe has announced her retirement from international basketball. The 32-year-old from Edmonton was part of Canada's women's basketball teams at the 2012 London Games and 2016 Rio Olympics, also helping the program win back-to-back FIBA AmeriCup championships in 2015 and 2017. She then shifted to 3x3 basketball, where she played — alongside her twin sister Katherine Plouffe — a big role in building the Canadian program from the ground up. Plouffe led Canada to multiple FIBA 3x3 Women's Series titles, a silver medal at the 2022 FIBA 3x3 World Cup, and a fourth-place finish at the Paris Olympics. She is now set to join Canada Basketball's high-performance staff as 3x3 performance manager. Plouffe will be honoured during the FIBA 3x3 Women's Series stop in Edmonton on Aug. 2. "This journey has always been more than just playing basketball," Plouffe said in a release. "It's been about people, purpose, planting seeds and watching them grow." "We never set out to be the best team in the world — we set out to be the best people to play with," Plouffe added. "And we believed the rest would follow. You don't plant fruit. You plant seeds. We planted encouragement. We planted trust. We planted love. That's what grew."
