2025 NBA draft: The complete results and order after draft lottery
The Dallas Mavericks won the lottery on Monday and the right to select Duke freshman Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft in Brooklyn, New York.
The Mavericks, who finished with a 39-43 record, entered the evening slotted 11th and had only a 1.8% chance of winning the top pick, the fourth-lowest odds to win since the lottery was instituted in 1985. They won the lottery for the first time in franchise history.

Dallas failed to qualify for the playoffs after losing in the 8-10 matchup of the play-in tournament, clearing the way for the franchise to enter the lottery for the second time in three years after adding Dereck Lively II with the 12th pick in 2023.
With the Mavericks landing the No. 1 pick, the San Antonio Spurs jumped six spots to receive the second pick, and the Philadelphia 76ers moved up three positions. The Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz, each with a 14% chance of winning the top pick, round out the top five, respectively.
The Washington Wizards, the other team with a 14% chance of claiming the No. 1 pick, fell down the draft board four slots and will draft with the sixth overall pick. The Wizards and Jazz were the two teams that dropped the furthest from their pre-lottery positions.

Flagg is the overwhelming favorite to be the top pick this year after establishing himself as the Player of the Year at the collegiate level. Should Flagg indeed hear his name called first on June 25, the All-American will become the sixth Blue Devil to be selected first in the NBA draft.

Former Sixers GM pushes back the idea of trading superstar Joel Embiid
Former Sixers GM pushes back the idea of trading superstar Joel Embiid There is a school of thought out there that the Philadelphia 76ers should consider trading away superstar big man Joel Embiid. There are some out there who wonder if the big fella will ever reach the level he was once at when he was undeniably a top 3 player in the league after winning MVP in 2023. He was on his way to winning another MVP in 2024 before that January night when his knee was fallen on by Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga. It was an unfortunate event that derailed both his and Philadelphia's season. He was then limited to only 19 games in the 2024-25 season as he dealt with the injury and had to undergo a second surgery in a span of 14 months. Therefore, some have floated out the idea that the Sixers should look into trading Embiid, but former GM Billy King pushed back on that idea: The hardest thing is knowing that when Joel is healthy, he's one of the best players in the league. Everybody's going to say, 'Well, he's never healthy.' But the thing about it is, when you trade him, you're never getting players of equal value. I think they have to get more athletic around Joel. If you're watching Oklahoma City, Indiana, you watch Boston; I think you need as many 6'8" athletes as possible to be able to compete in this league because the game has changed where the power player down low is not as dominant and the game is try to create mismatches by running pick-and-rolls. The Sixers will be looking to bounce back in the 2025-26 season led by Embiid. The expectation is that he will be fully recovered and ready to go when the season begins in October and the Sixers will be looking to him to lead the way. This version of this team will go as far as he takes them. While Paul George and Tyrese Maxey are there to help, the pressure will fall onto Embiid to get the job done in Philadelphia.

'Fight of the century' - Alvarez-Crawford date confirmed
Turki Alalshikh (centre) announced last month that a super-fight had been agreed between Terence Crawford (left) and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (right) [Getty Images] Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez's super-fight against Terence Crawford will take place in Las Vegas on Saturday, 13 September. Mexican pound-for-pound great Alvarez will meet undefeated American Crawford for the undisputed super-middleweight title. Advertisement The blockbuster will be streamed globally on Netflix and has been billed the "fight of the century" by Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia's general entertainment authority. It will be the first fight to be promoted by Alalshikh in collaboration with UFC president Dana White. "Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing and this is right up my alley," said White. "Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I'm going to get to promote is Canelo versus Crawford? It's literally a once-in-a-lifetime fight." Alvarez holds all four recognised world titles in the super-middleweight division after the 34-year-old beat William Scull last month. Advertisement That resulted in him regaining the IBF belt and the undisputed super-middleweight title, and after the fight Crawford was confirmed as his next opponent, with the pair posing for a face-off in the ring. "I'm ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world," the Mexican said in a statement on Tuesday. Alvarez has 63 wins from 67 professional fights, with two draws and two defeats. Crawford is a four-division and two-weight undisputed champion, and will be moving up from light-middleweight. The 37-year-old possesses a flawless record, having won all 41 of his pro fights. Advertisement "My perfect record speaks for itself," said Crawford. "I am the best fighter in the world and no matter the opponent or weight class, I have always come out on top." The fight - expected to take place at Allegiant Stadium - will be preceded by a three-city media tour, visiting Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (20 June), before heading to the United States as the fighters appear in New York (22 June) and Las Vegas (27 June).

Jason Day Sparks Controversy With Wild Outfit Ahead of U.S. Open
Jason Day Sparks Controversy With Wild Outfit Ahead of U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a world of golf where tucked-in polo shirts and khakis reign supreme, the presence of Jason Day has been a breath of fresh air for many over the past couple of years. With his daring sense of style that has ruffled feathers and turned many heads, Day has made a name for himself thanks to his partnership with Malbon, rocking parachute pants, trendy sweaters, and groutfits on the course. Advertisement This week, just a couple of days before the U.S. Open tees off on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club, Day once again turned some heads with his outfit choice. On Tuesday while warming up for a practice round, Day looked more like he was getting ready to head to a 4th of July barbecue rather than play a round of golf at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the nation. On theme for the week, Day was seen warming up on the range while rocking a pair of stars and stripes shorts with a blue polo shirt. What you think of Day's outfit choice likely represents how you feel about Day's fashion choices in general. Some are big fans of the bold looks, and the relatively casual nature with which Day treats the game, while others are upset that he is making a statement and going against the grain with his clothing. Advertisement Here's how some fans reacted on social media Tuesday morning: "Dude's straight up wearing swim trunks," one commenter said. "These are hard dgaf what anybody says," another fan added. "Known American, Jason Day," one observer added, noting that Day is famously Australian, making his American Flag shorts a bit ironic. While Day is letting the flashy outfit shine on a Tuesday practice round, it's fair to assume that he may tone things down a bit once the tournament starts on Thursday. We've seen this be the case in the past, with Augusta National Golf Club famously having to approve his wardrobe before The Masters Tournament this past spring. Advertisement As for the actual golf being played, Day hopes to get back into form and compete for another major championship. His only major victory came in 2015 at the PGA Championship, and he hasn't won on the PGA Tour since 2022 at the AT&T Byron Nelson. This season, Day has three top-10 finishes in 10 starts thus far.
