In New Jersey, the Devils wasted no time locking up their newest piece. Luke Evangelista, just twenty-four years old, signed a five-year extension with New Jersey after being acquired from Nashville earlier this month. The Devils are building something serious up front, and they clearly see Evangelista as a core part of that future.
Shifting to the octagon, Jon Jones and Islam Makhachev have turned up the heat on their war of words. Makhachev just broke Anderson Silva's record with his seventeenth straight UFC victory, a run that has fans calling him the greatest of all time. Jones fired back, mocking Makhachev's two thousand fifteen knockout loss, and the lightweight champion did not let that slide. This one is personal now.
And over in Boston, Paul George walked into a Celtics press conference with something to prove. The veteran forward arrived alongside Mike Conley Junior following the Jaylen Brown trade, telling the room flat out he's got a chip on his shoulder. Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla are betting that hunger translates when the season tips off.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
