You're listening to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The New York Giants are cutting ties with Najee Harris, and honestly, it's hard to argue with the decision. The running back managed just two yards on four carries in Sunday's loss to the Saints, and with the Giants backfield already in crisis mode, this move signals they're done waiting for a turnaround that never came.
Speaking of New York, all eyes are on Madison Square Garden as LeBron James prepares to take the floor in what could be one of the most significant moments of his final chapter. Brian Windhorst makes the case that the World's Most Famous Arena is the perfect stage for whatever LeBron's closing act looks like, and the basketball world is paying attention.
Meanwhile, the Sixers are already dealing with a significant setback before their season even tips off. Seven-foot-six center is unavailable for Philadelphia's opener against the Knicks, leaving them dangerously thin down low on a night when the entire league is already focused on LeBron's debut across town in Los Angeles. Rough timing for Philly.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
