Recapping the Boston Celtics' offseason moves so far
It's been a busy summer for the Boston Celtics, starting with the decision to trade away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. Since then, Brad Stevens has searched for talent that could emerge as diamonds in the rough, as he looks to buy low and sell high to help retool the current roster and get it back to a championship level. Unfortunately for Celtics fans, Stevens' methods mean that the upcoming season will likely be a tough one. Boston isn't expected to be among the contending teams in the Eastern Conference, and they may struggle to end the campaign as a .500 team. However, there does appear to be a method to Stevens' approach, in that if some of the new additions impress, they will bring a higher return on the trade market. If you need a recap on everything the Celtics have done this summer, the "Cyro Asseo" YouTube channel recently published an in-depth recap of the team's moves, its depth chart, draft pick status and overall blueprint for the future. The video also reiterates every incoming and outgoing talent since the start of the summer, to help fans keep track of who is, and isn't, on the roster moving forward.

Country singer Ray Stevens undergoes surgery after suffering mild heart attack
Country Music Hall of Famer Ray Stevens is on the mend. "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival" crooner, 86, behind fan favorite hits such as "Everything Is Beautiful" and "Misty," as well as the comedic "The Streak," is in recovery after undergoing minimally invasive heart surgery on Monday, July 7, according to a press release shared by Stevens' rep Don Murry Grubbs with The Nashville Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. Three days prior, Stevens had complained of chest pain and was admitted to a Nashville hospital. After a heart catheterization procedure, doctors determined he'd suffered a mild heart attack, the release said. Stevens' initial surgery was successful, but performances at his West Nashville-based CabaRay Showroom are canceled through July as he recovers. Kenny Chesney, June Carter Cash, Tony Brown named 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame inductees For six decades, two-time Grammy winner Stevens has been synonymous with the crossover of country's traditions into mainstream pop. That success has yielded the sale of more than 40 million albums, as well as inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame, the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and a star on the Music City Walk of Fame. Seven years ago, Stevens opened the CabaRay Showroom, a live music venue and dinner theater located in West Nashville. Since then, he has performed hundreds of weekly concerts in the 35,000-square-foot venue, inspired by the feel of an old Las Vegas casino showroom. "The reason I built the CabaRay was I was just tired of the road, tired of traveling or having to get on a plane or bus to go where I needed to perform," the performer said when interviewed by The Tennessean last year. "I'm just doing what I've always done and trying to make music. I love what I do and I do just want to continue to do that as long as I can," Stevens said.

The book will also detail the 1975 near-drowning experience that inspired him to convert to Islam and change his name to Yusuf Islam as he left the music business behind, as well as his steady return since the '90s. (He released An Other Cup, his first pop album in nearly 30 years in 2006 and has released five more albums since then, including his most recent album, King of the Land back in 2023.)

'I've been on an amazing journey, which began in the narrow streets of London, and led me through the most iconic cities, to perform upon the great stage of Western culture, ascending the dizzying heights of wealth, recognition and artistic pinnacles; freely exploring vast ranges of religions and philosophies, wandering through churches, temples, all the way to the Holy abode in Jerusalem — ignoring myths and warnings — and crossing the foreboded, desert heartlands, to arrive at the House of One God in Abrahamic Arabia,' he said in a statement. 'What finally elevated my perspective was a luminous Book that perfectly alchemized my thoughts, beliefs, with human nature. It taught me Oneness, and my place and purpose within the universe.'
