Paul George's Celtics debut was must-see television, but it ended in heartbreak. George dropped thirty-eight points in Boston, looking every bit the superstar acquisition the Celtics hoped for, yet the Pistons had other plans, rallying down the stretch to hand Boston a one-twenty-one to one-thirteen opening night loss. Not the debut anyone in green wanted.
Across the Atlantic, Liverpool have a new name to get excited about. Rio Ngumoha delivered a coming-of-age performance in the Reds' comeback win over Villarreal, described by those in attendance as nothing short of ruthless. When a teenager takes over a European stage like that, you take notice, and Liverpool fans absolutely are.
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the Rams are dealing with a significant blow before the week even gets going. Wide receiver Davante Adams has been placed on injured reserve, a tough development for a team that brought him in to stretch the field. The Rams also moved DT Poona Ford to IR and signed kicker Brandon McManus to fill an immediate roster need.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
