NFL star Maxx Crosby praises Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg
With the festivities taking place in Las Vegas, there is an array of notable names floating around Summer League. Many are some of the game's top stars popping up to support some of their younger teammates. Ahead of NFL training camp, Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby was another notable name in attendance.
While soaking in the action, Crosby had the chance to link up with Flagg. He ended up posting a picture of the two of them on social media while praising the NBA's next big prospect.
Though he struggled from the field, Flagg managed to put together an all-around performance in his Summer League debut against the LA Lakers. He posted a stat line of 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Flagg would bounce back in a big way in his next outing against the San Antonio Spurs, erupting for 31 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Following this outing, the Mavericks decided they'd seen more than enough from Flagg and decided to shut him down for the remainder of Summer League.
Looking ahead, Flagg will now begin preparing for his first NBA training camp in a couple of months. He finds himself with a tall task as a No. 1 pick, as he'll attempt to help a Mavericks team with championship aspirations in the Western Conference.

Michael Phelps answers Ravens players' call to learn how to swim
It was an offer that Baltimore Ravens fan Michael Phelps couldn't refuse. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Earlier this week, Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video on social media featuring teammates Ronnie Stanley, Kyle Hamilton and Charlie Kolar explaining to the 23-time Olympic gold medalist that one in three players on the team do not know how to swim. They were asking for the U.S. swimming great to come visit them at training camp, check out their new recovery pool and give them a lesson. Phelps replied saying, "I got yall!!! Let's do it!!" Kolar, the fourth-year tight end, told reporters this week he thought Humphrey was going to send the video directly to Phelps, not post it to social media "I should have known better," Kolar said. The 40-year-old Phelps, the most decorated Olympian ever with 28 total medals, is a Baltimore native and has been involved with the team on several occasions and seen at games. Answering the call to help others learn to swim has been a mission of his since retiring. The Michael Phelps Foundation provides learn-to-swim classes to help prevent drowning and raise self-esteem and wellness.

Falcons first-rounder Jalon Walker dealing with a hamstring injury
Falcons first-round pick Jalon Walker is dealing with his first NFL injury. Walker has been sidelined by a hamstring injury this week that head coach Raheem Morris called minor in a Thursday press conference. Walker has missed practice a couple of days this week and Morris said that the edge rusher will do some individual and rehab work as the team takes a cautious approach to bringing him back to full speed. "He's wearing me out trying to get out there and practice," Morris said. "I love that about him." The Falcons are counting on Walker and fellow first-rounder James Pearce to juice up their pass rush, so they'll likely take as much time as needed to be sure Walker is fully healed before giving him the practice return he's pushing for this week.
