You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Jalen Brunson is riding the highest of highs right now. Fresh off delivering New York its first NBA championship in decades, the Knicks star is set to host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live later this month, making him only the fifth player in league history to take that stage, joining Bill Russell, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan. Not bad company.
Shifting to the diamond, twenty-two-year-old Jackson Chourio is quickly becoming must-watch television in Milwaukee. With two outs in the ninth and the Brewers trailing the Cubs, Chourio stepped up and crushed a two-run homer to tie it, setting up a four to three victory that pushes Milwaukee even closer to the NL Central crown. Born for those moments, indeed.
And in Cleveland, Deshaun Watson is preparing to make his first regular-season start since October of twenty twenty four, and he is not short on motivation. Watson said this is his opportunity to showcase that he can still play in this league. After everything he has been through, the Browns quarterback gets his shot to answer that question under the brightest lights.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
