Jaguars WR Shares Travis Hunter and Trevor Lawrence's Signature Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Many Jaguars stars are in the Bahamas following the completion of the team's mandatory minicamp. They are putting in work ahead of the training camp to stay in shape for the upcoming season.
WR Dayami Brown posted a video of one of the training sessions on his YouTube channel. Lawrence and Hunter could be seen performing a custom handshake at the end of the vlog.

The two-way star and the Jaguars' QB started things off with a series of palm and backhand slaps. They then stand side by side, join hands, and sway in a wave-like motion.
Then, they each pinch their nose and drop into a slight squat. Finally, they cross their arms under their armpits and lean back-to-back, completing the signature celebration.
The fans would hope to see Hunter and Lawrence combine to score numerous touchdowns and pull off more goofy celebrations.

Lawrence was Jacksonville's No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He took the QB mantle right away and, after a disappointing rookie season, led the franchise to its first postseason appearance after four years. But he hasn't managed to replicate the feat again.
The Jaguars parted ways with their next year's first-round pick and additional draft capital to trade up and draft Hunter. The Jaguars plan on using the 2024 Heisman Trophy in both offensive and defensive snaps.
Lawrence reportedly wanted to work on timing with Hunter and understand the new system thoroughly. The Bahamas getaway appears to have brought Lawrence and Hunter into sync.

Grade The Trade: Nuggets Swap Porter Jr. For Cam Johnson In Shocking Deal
Grade The Trade: Nuggets Swap Porter Jr. For Cam Johnson In Shocking Deal originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Denver Nuggets have moved Michael Porter Jr., after months of being involved in trade rumors. Porter Jr. averaged 18.2 points per game this season, nailing 39.5% from three in the regular season, but those numbers dipped to 9.1 points per game on 34.3% from deep in the postseason. Advertisement The Nuggets must go all-in to surround Nikola Jokic with the right pieces to win an NBA championship, especially with a new head coach, David Adelma,n coming on board. The Nuggets have decided to move Porter Jr and a first-round pick for Cam Johnson, a move that essentially swaps shooters but also involves some risk. Let's grade the trade to see who won and lost this deal. Denver Nuggets: C+ The Denver Nuggets are taking a risk, losing 27-year-old Michael Porter Jr for 29-year-old Cam Johnson. This move signals Denver's willingness to pivot from potential to consistency, aiming for a floor-spacing 3-and-D wing with Johnson. Advertisement Financially, the swap also lightens the long-term luxury-tax hit: Porter is owed around $79 million over the next two seasons, whereas Johnson comes in at roughly $44.4 million total. The risk: Johnson lacks Porter's ceiling and interior mismatch potential, and Denver gave up a future first-rounder. This deal tilts toward structural stability, but it's not without a gamble. Denver fans will be watching to see if Johnson can replicate his efficiency in a championship chase. Brooklyn Nets: B+ Brooklyn acquires Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick, a move that aligns with their rebuild and asset collection strategy. Porter gives them a 6'10" forward who has shown heavy scoring upside, once part of Denver's 2023 title run, and still has two years left on his deal. Advertisement The added pick is valuable upside on a talented Nuggets team coming off major postseason disappointments. The Nets' coach and front office will hope that under a refreshed role in Brooklyn, Porter can return to 18-20 PPG form consistently. That said, Porter's dip in playoff production and concerns over his playoff mental makeup (compared to Murray or earlier playoff struggles) remain. But if Porter rediscovers his rhythm, the pick makes this an extremely high-upside haul for the Nets. Michael Porter Jr: C+ Porter gets a fresh start as the primary offensive option in Brooklyn, shedding the pressure of dominating shots alongside Jokic and Murray. He retains two years on an expensive contract, but now has a clearer path to showcase his scoring ability. Advertisement Success hinges on him rediscovering his 18+ PPG production and translating it into postseason impact, something that evaded him in Denver. However, this move is also a signal: Denver gave up on Porter's playoff development, which could weigh on his confidence. If he rebounds, it could validate the suitability of the contract and justify Brooklyn's gamble. But failure to progress further could anchor him as a well-paid "what-if" in Brooklyn's timeline. Bruce Brown: A Though not part of the swap, Bruce Brown's one-year deal with Denver adds immediate value. He's a proven two-way wing who fits seamlessly into Adelman's system, adding depth, playmaking, and championship experience. Advertisement Brown is the unsung gear in this offseason's engine, valued even higher in the wake of Porter's departure. His deal may well be the anchor that stabilizes Denver amid a reshuffle.

Minnesota Lynx Coach Issues Strong Statement Before Championship Game Against Fever
Minnesota Lynx Coach Issues Strong Statement Before Championship Game Against Fever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's a lot of hype surrounding the much-anticipated matchup between the Minnesota Lynx and the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night. These two teams will go head-to-head in a winner-take-all clash for the right to become the 2025 Commissioner's Cup champions. Advertisement Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve has added to the buzz by sending a strong message ahead of her team's quest to defend their Commissioner's Cup title. The veteran shot-caller revealed how much her players are looking forward to this game. "I'm really happy for the players," Reeve said. "They are excited to play in this game, as I'm sure Indy is as well. "We've said this before winning the Cup, it's hardware. And money, right? So when there's money on the line and, they've talked about they're going to make more money in a Commissioner's Cup game than what they will in a deep playoff run. "And so this is really meaningful to them, especially some of our younger players. And the veterans are very aware of the meaning of that." Cheryl Reeve hopes to lead the Minnesota Lynx to another WNBA Commissioner's Cup title. © Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Lynx clearly have no shortage of motivation in this one. As Reeve touched on in her statement, the $500,000 prize money is something that has inspired her players. At the same time, winning a championship means everything to them as well. Advertisement "What's it mean? You want it," she continued. "You want it whatever the name of the championship, whatever it is, call it whatever kind of cup, whatever its championship, you want the hardware. This would be a feather in the cap for this team." There is no doubt that the Fever are pretty much in the same boat in terms of their desire to bring home the trophy. The big question, however, is whether Caitlin Clark will be able to play. The 23-year-old, who has missed Indiana's last two games due to a groin injury, has officially been listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash.
