De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis working to build a brighter Kings future

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The first time he saw it, De’Aaron Fox had to pull over his car on 5th Street. Either the Earth was blitzing open, or something from out of this world was raying down, because the brightest burst of purple the 24-year-old had ever seen, thousands of feet of towering glow, was beaming above the Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento and straight into outer space. Kings owner Vivek Ranadive wants aliens to see the purple blast — made from four, 1,000-watt RGB lasers… Source link

Why the Magic took Paolo Banchero; Jaden Ivey gets wish as Kings pass him

NEW YORK — Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith were the big winners Thursday night, going Nos. 1-3 in the 2022 NBA draft. The Orlando Magic had the No. 1 pick for the first time since 2004 and selected Duke’s Banchero, making him the second No. 1 pick from Duke in the past four years (Zion Williamson went No. 1 in 2019).

Peter King’s midseason NFL Power Rankings

Back in June, I did the fruitless annual 1-to-32 ranking of the NFL teams. Not sure which pick outraged the masses most, but it was either ranking Tampa Bay fifth or New England 21st. Looks like I was way off. Had the Bucs too low, and I might have had the Patriots too high. With 12 teams at the halfway point (the Bucs and Giants will make that 14 tonight), I’ve re-stacked the board here. (You’ll never guess 32.) After the highest-scoring first seven weeks of any NFL season, I’m… Source link

NHL’s only Black female scout on first LA Kings season

Blake Bolden didn’t expect her job to involve bubble hockey. No one who works in the NHL did.

This time you’re not playing, but you are aiming for a common goal.” It’s not often scouts in any sport are asked to do their… Source link
