49ers' Christian McCaffrey Delivers Strong Update on His Comeback Path
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for what they hope will be a major bounce-back season in 2025. After missing the playoffs last season following a Super Bowl appearance the year before, there are reasons for optimism. Last season, the 49ers dealt with major injury issues. One of the biggest was only having star running back Christian McCaffrey for four games. At the beginning of the year, McCaffrey was dealing with Achilles issues. He then suffered a knee injury after making his return to the field.

Photo byIt was a depressing season for the 29-year-old running back. He's hoping to come back strong in 2025 and get his career back on track. Read more: Vikings' JJ McCarthy Just Got a Big Update From NFL Insider McCaffrey has now spoken out with a bold message about his recovery and what has been a big help for him on his path back to the gridiron. "Being fully transparent, obviously, last year didn't go the way I wanted," McCaffrey said. "It didn't go the way anyone wanted. But having this time off has allowed me to start from scratch and have the time where I can build a base again, come into OTAs, play football and now get back into it mentally, emotionally, physically in all ways. It was much needed and I'm happy we had it." Clearly, the superstar running back has approached his offseason the right way. He seems rejuvenated and ready to get back to dominating opposing defenses. Back in the 2023 NFL season, McCaffrey put together a massive season. He carried the football 272 times for 1,459 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. In addition, he caught 67 passes for 564 yards and seven more touchdowns. Not only will McCaffrey getting back to full health be good for San Francisco, it will also help franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. He also had a down year in 2024 with opposing defenses being able to key in on the passing game.

He is clearly excited to get the season underway. Hopefully, he will be able to stay healthy throughout the entirety of the 2025 season. If he can, San Francisco could be a team to watch once again in the NFC. Only time will tell, but the 49ers seem to be trending in the right direction with McCaffrey's new status update.

Williams drives Oklahoma closer to NBA championship
Oklahoma City are just one win away from lifting the NBA championship. Jalen Williams had a career playoff-high 40 points and MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 as the Thunder beat the Indiana Pacers 120-109 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night. JDUB SPEAKS AFTER DROPPING 40 🔊Leads OKC to a 3-2 series lead in an iconic performance! — NBA (@NBA) June 17, 2025 It was the 10th - and by far the biggest - time the Thunder stars combined for more than 70 points in a game. Williams was 14 of 24 from the field and Gilgeous-Alexander added 10 assists. Pascal Siakam had 28 points for Indiana, who now trail the series 3-2 and will host Game 6 on Thursday night. TJ McConnell added 18 for the Pacers, who whittled an 18-point deficit down to four in the fourth before watching the Thunder pull away again, and for good. And now, everything favours the Thunder. Teams who have won Game 5 of an NBA Finals that was tied at 2-2 have gone on to win the series 23 times in 31 previous opportunities, or 74 per cent. And teams with a 3-2 lead in the finals have won 40 times in 49 previous opportunities, or 82 per cent. But Game 5 was not easy. Far from it. Down by as many as 18 late in the second quarter, the Pacers - the comeback kings of these playoffs, with as many wins in this postseason from 15 points down or more (five) than the rest of the league has combined, including in Game 1 of this series - did what they do, chipping away. And they did it with Tyrese Haliburton reduced to basically playing decoy on offense because of a leg issue that he aggravated in the first quarter. Led by McConnell, who scored 13 points in just under seven minutes of the third, the Pacers got within five late in that quarter. Then, Siakam went to work - a pair of free throws with 9:19 left got Indiana within four, then a 3-pointer about a minute later made it 95-93. In the play-by-play era of the NBA, starting with the 1997 playoffs, teams with leads of 15 points or more in the finals were 80-9. Make that 81-9 now, and the Thunder are one win away.

Kevin Durant's 6-Word Message After Major Grizzlies Trade
Kevin Durant's 6-Word Message After Major Grizzlies Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA offseason is heating up and so far, no news item has resonated like Kevin Durant's impending departure from the Phoenix Suns. With a 2024-25 season that saw Durant impress with 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, trade rumors surrounding the 15-time All-Star have dominated the summer conversation after the Suns failed to make the playoffs. Advertisement Multiple high-profile teams, including Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs, have been reported as serious contenders for Durant. But Memphis' stunning trade on Sunday, which sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, immediately redirected the NBA world's attention. Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35).Scott Wachter-Imagn Images Durant was among those fueling the social media buzz around this deal. On Monday, he reacted to the Magic's video of Bane arriving in Orlando. Specifically, Durant reacted to the "dap" between Bane and Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley. 'They heard this dap in Memphis," Durant wrote on X. The Grizzlies were floated as a Durant suitor during the season. If Durant were to land in Memphis, he'd bring championship experience, elite perimeter scoring, and two-way versatility to pair with Ja Morant and a frontcourt centered on Jaren Jackson Jr. Advertisement His veteran experience and gravity on offense would help elevate Memphis in a stacked Western Conference. But with his massive contract ($54.7 million expiring) and Suns' intent to maximize return, the Grizzlies would have to offer a compelling package, and likely part with some of what they received for Bane. For now, the two-time Finals MVP remains a Sun, and is reacting to other moves around the league.
