Report: Suns exploring trade options involving Boston Celtics Kristaps Porzingis
Could Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis be traded to the Phoenix Suns? Recent reporting from the Stein Line's Jake Fischer hints that just such a move might be in the works, with the two teams reportedly talking about a trade for the Latvian center. Per the Stein Line reporter, "Phoenix has done some background work on ... Porzingis with Boston known to be exploring its trade options up and down the roster." With both ball clubs currently well over the second apron, incurring all the harsh team building penalties that brings with it, a third team would need to be involved for this sort of deal to work. But the Suns need big man depth and hope to remain competitive while trying to reshape their roster, making KP an interesting option with low risk involved as an expiring contract. Whether his deal would be part of the salary moving to a third team for that same reason or as a potential Phoenix target given his upside when healthy would be the most important part of the equation on that side of the deal. What it might bring back to Boston is another question, given his value to the Celtics for both cap relief and his chemistry with the team and fan base when not out of commission. Buckle up, things are starting to heat up. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle

MSU target, 3-star WR Xavier Stinson commits to UCLA following official visit
MSU target, 3-star WR Xavier Stinson commits to UCLA following official visit A Michigan State football targeted wide receiver prospect is heading to another Big Ten school. Xavier Stinson of Vero Beach, Fla. announced his commitment to UCLA on Monday. Stinson made his commitment known via a post on his social media X account. Stinson is a three-star prospect with a recruiting rating of 87 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 118 wide receiver prospect in 247Sports' rankings for the 2026 class. Stinson was scheduled to visit Michigan State this upcoming weekend. His commitment to the Bruins comes after he took an official visit to UCLA this past weekend. He was also strongly considering NC State, and held notable offers from Indiana, Arkansas, Memphis, Pitt, UCF, Vanderbilt and West Virginia. Michigan State is trending in the right direction for another three-star wide receiver prospect in Zachary Washington. So this commitment from Stinson could be related to that move or a number of the other wide receiver prospects Michigan State is currently pursuing. It also could simply be the Bruins beating out the Spartans for this prospect.
