What happened to Boston Celtics forward Reggie Lewis? The Celtics dynasty of the 1980s that started under Boston Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale looked poised to continue with the rise of Lewis after the Celtics drafted him out of the NCAA ranks.
But a hidden health issue would take the young Boston star from his family, friends, team, and fans far too soon, Lewis collapsing on a court with a rare heart issue that would ultimately take his life. Celtics beat writers from that era Bob Ryan and Dan Shaugnessy took some time on a recent episode of the "NBA History and Storytellers on CLNS" show to talk over his untimely loss.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about what was lost -- and what might have been.

Daryl Dike hurts thigh, latest setback for American forward on West Brom

Daryl Dike will miss the start of West Bromwich Albion's season because of a thigh injury, the latest in a string of health setbacks for the 25-year-old American forward. The team said Friday that Dike was hurt in practice and will resume training after the international break in early September. Dike ruptured right Achilles tendon against Stoke on April 15, 2023, and returned on Jan. 7, 2024, when he played the first half in an FA Cup match against Aldershot. He tore his left Achilles against Ipswich that Feb. 10, just five games after coming back. Dike returned last Feb. 15 against Millwall in the first of 10 substitute appearances and started the season finale against Luton on May 3. Dike joined West Brom from Major League Soccer's Orlando in January 2022. He sustained a season-ending hamstring injury in his first start, against Peterborough on Jan. 22, 2022, and tore a thigh muscle in the 2022-23 opener against Stoke on July 30, 2022. He returned that Nov. 12 in West Brom's last game before the World Cup break, then tore his right Achilles tendon the following spring.

UFC on ESPN 71 bonuses: Two Fight of Night winners in Vegas

The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday's card in Las Vegas – with a rarity of two Fight of the Night winners. After UFC on ESPN 71, four fighters picked up an extra $50,000 for their performances at the UFC Apex. Check out the winners below. Fight of the Night: Chris Duncan def. Mateusz Rebecki Chris Duncan (14-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and Mateusz Rebecki (20-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) put on an absolute banger in the co-main event. The lightweights had a tough act to follow right after Esteban Ribovics vs. Elves Brener, and somehow did so with a Fight of the Year candidate. Rebecki was about a 2-1 favorite in the fight, but left disappointed. Both fighters left the cage a bloody mess and had to be transported to an area hospital following the bout. Fight of the Night: Esteban Ribovics def. Elves Brener In a strikers' delight lightweight slugfest, Esteban Ribovics (15-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Elves Brener (16-6 MMA, 3-3 UFC) somehow each landed 123 total strikes. But where Brener tried to make a difference was in takedowns – and Ribovics stuffed all nine of them in a highly entertaining scrap.
