The two thousand twenty six NBA Draft is in the books, and the night had real winners. Golden State grabbed Yaxel Lendeborg eleventh overall, while Charlotte took German prospect Hannes Steinbach at fourteen — a pick that has Hornets fans genuinely excited about what's coming out of Europe.
Shifting to baseball, and the Mets are making moves on two fronts. Francisco Lindor is set to be activated for game two of today's doubleheader against the Cubs, ending a stretch on the shelf dating back to late April with a calf strain. That's a massive boost for New York. But the good news comes with a complication — Kodai Senga is being pulled from the rotation after posting a brutal ten point zero eight ERA. The Mets clearly can't wait any longer on that situation.
And in football, Tom Brady — the man with seven rings — is handing out some significant praise. Brady told listeners that Aaron Rodgers is, in his words, the greatest passer of the football, full stop. Coming from the quarterback most consider the best ever, that's not a throwaway compliment for the Pittsburgh signal-caller.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
