You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get you caught up.

The sports world is in shock tonight as NASCAR icon Kyle Busch has passed away at the age of forty one following a severe illness. A two-time Cup Series champion and the winningest driver across all three of NASCAR's major series, Busch leaves behind a legacy that simply cannot be overstated. Richard Childress Racing, NASCAR, and the Busch family confirmed the news Thursday evening, and tributes have been pouring in from across the sporting world ever since.

Shifting to the NBA's Western Conference finals, Oklahoma City Thunder star Jalen Williams is listed as questionable heading into Game three against the San Antonio Spurs Friday night. Williams suffered a Grade one left hamstring strain during Game two, but the Thunder still managed to pull out a one twenty two to one thirteen victory to even the series at one game apiece. His status will be the story to watch as tip-off approaches at seven thirty Central.

And over in New York, Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham got some welcome news Thursday after tests came back clean following his early exit Wednesday. No structural damage to that left knee, which is exactly what the Yankees needed to hear as they navigate a long and demanding season.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
