You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The basketball world is still processing this one — Giannis Antetokounmpo is officially a Miami Heat player. The NBA approved the blockbuster trade Monday, sending the Greek Freak and Bobby Portis to Miami in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Junior, Kel'el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, and a package of draft capital. Giannis posted a farewell to Milwaukee that is going to hit Bucks fans right in the chest — thirteen seasons, two MVPs, one championship, and a city he called his own.
Shifting to the pitch, FIFA has shut down Belgium's attempt to sideline Folarin Balogun before Monday's match. The Belgian federation requested an explanation of Balogun's suspended red card, and FIFA ruled that request inadmissible — no grounds to appeal, no case to make. The U.S. forward is cleared to play, and Belgium has run out of options.
And off the court and into a courtroom — former Kentucky basketball player Kerr Kriisa has been arrested and indicted on a two point two million dollar fraud scheme, according to the Department of Justice. The announcement came Monday, and it's a stunning turn for a player who left college ball with legitimate professional prospects ahead of him.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
