Stephen Curry is off the sneaker free agent market, and he's heading east — way east. Curry has inked a ten-year deal with Chinese sportswear giant Li-Ning, closing the chapter on his post-Under Armour era.

Speaking of the NBA, the Lakers and Warriors are both keeping close tabs on trade whispers out of New Orleans. A Pelicans star forward is drawing serious interest from two of the league's marquee franchises, and with both organizations hungry for a boost, this one could reshape the Western Conference before the offseason is out.
And shifting to the octagon, Dana White and President Donald Trump are bringing the fight game to Washington D.C. UFC Freedom Two Fifty is a seven-fight card set for the nation's capital this summer, part of the country's two hundred fiftieth anniversary celebration. Seven bouts, a White House backdrop, and all eyes on what could be the most politically charged fight night in the sport's history.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
