Speaking of the World Cup, Canada and Morocco are set to collide in the Round of Sixteen on Saturday, and the stakes couldn't be higher. CBS SportsLine's Jon Eimer, riding a twenty-five and fifteen run on his picks, has released his best bets for the match. Canada boss Jesse Marsch has his squad riding momentum, and he's made clear he's not going anywhere near the USMNT job anytime soon.
Meanwhile in the NBA, the New York Knicks wasted zero time addressing their backup center situation after Mitchell Robinson's exit. Veteran big man Andre Drummond is heading to New York on a one-year deal worth three point nine million dollars, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Drummond brings size, physicality, and playoff experience to a Knicks squad with championship ambitions.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
