Amen Thompson is staying in Houston, and the Rockets made sure of it in a big way. The young forward has agreed to a five-year, two hundred and eight million dollar extension, averaging forty one point six million annually, with a ten percent trade kicker baked in. General manager Rafael Stone locked up a cornerstone of that young core, and frankly, it was the right call at the right time.
Shifting to the gridiron, Brendan Sorsby is finally speaking out. The quarterback, whose collegiate career ended in June following a gambling scandal and whose NFL draft hopes were pushed back to two thousand twenty seven, says he carries a ton of regret over how everything unfolded. Those comments came through a new documentary, and they mark his first real public words since the bottom fell out.
And over at Arsenal, Gabriel Martinelli is heading to the Saudi Pro League. The Brazilian winger has completed a sixty million pound move to Al-Hilal, adding another high-profile name to the growing list of European talent making that eastward migration. At twenty three years old, it's a surprising exit from north London for a player many expected to anchor that attack for years to come.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
