That makes three All-Star guards looking for a change of address if you include Westbrook’s teammate, 2017-18 MVP James Harden. Wall… Source link

Washington’s NFL franchise released a statement on Monday confirming news Yahoo Sports reported over the weekend that the team will officially change its name. The league had asked teams to begin scrubbing “Redskins” from their platforms over the weekend in anticipation of the change that ultimately came on Monday.
