Jayson Tatum, the star forward for the Boston Celtics, made a surprise appearance on Boston College’s campus just before the Eagles football game against Duquesne.

During his visit, Tatum interacted with the Eagles women’s basketball team, which shared a post on social media expressing their excitement over his visit.

Boston College's athletic teams had an eventful day with several competitions scheduled, and the football team achieved a dominant victory against Duquesne.

The Golden State Warriors traded Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards, marking the end of his time with Golden State where he significantly contributed to their 2022 NBA championship.

Poole's relationship with Draymond Green soured after an incident, leading to his decline in performance and eventual trade. Despite this, Poole maintains a positive rapport with most of his former teammates, notably reconnecting with Gary Payton II during an offseason trip.

Both players were instrumental during the Warriors' championship run, showcasing their connection even on separate teams.

The No. 7 Oregon Ducks faced off against the Boise State Broncos in a highly-anticipated early season college football clash at Autzen Stadium. The match highlighted two Heisman Trophy hopefuls, with Oregon's quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Boise State's running back Ashton Jeanty stealing the spotlight.

A special guest on the sidelines was former Oregon Duck Payton Pritchard, who recently celebrated an NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics and his marriage to Emma MacDonald. He received a warm welcome from Ducks fans.

Pritchard's accomplishments include being a consensus All-American and the winningest Duck in program history, making his presence at the game particularly poignant.

Derrick Rose’s NBA career showcased immense potential, but knee injuries hindered his path to superstardom. Now with the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant draws comparisons to Rose, especially in style of play.

Joakim Noah, a former teammate of Rose with the Chicago Bulls, acknowledges these similarities, noting both players’ explosiveness. He highlights that while Rose may have been slightly more explosive, both players have unique styles.

Despite his injuries, Morant is poised for a strong comeback in the upcoming season, having previously made significant strides in performance.

The Indiana Pacers are finalizing their offseason plans, focusing mainly on rookie scale team options for the upcoming season. With no significant roster decisions aside from possibly extending center Isaiah Jackson, the team is poised to make straightforward choices regarding their rookie-scale contracts.

Three players—Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker, and Bennedict Mathurin—are up for team options soon, with decisions set to be made by October 31. Both Sheppard and Walker have favorable third-year options on their contracts, while Mathurin's fourth-year option also promises to be beneficial as he continues to develop.
