Tyrese Maxey is putting the team first. Coming off the best individual season of his career, the Philadelphia seventy-sixer told reporters he wants no part of personal accolades as the measuring stick this year. Win or lose, Maxey says judge him by what this team accomplishes together. That's the mindset of a franchise cornerstone.
Over in the Bronx, the Red Sox are already dealing with injury trouble in the Wild Card Series. Roman Anthony is out of the Game Two lineup against the Yankees after leaving the opener with hand pain. A young player missing crucial October time against your fiercest rival is about as rough a start to the postseason as you can imagine. Boston needs answers fast.
And across the Atlantic, the biggest story in football right now belongs to Manchester City. Found guilty of more than one hundred financial rule breaches by the Premier League, the club's future hangs in genuine uncertainty. Pep Guardiola, no longer at the helm but still tied to the dynasty he built, broke his silence Wednesday backing the club publicly. The punishment is still to come, and the stakes could not be higher.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
