Victor Wembanyama has signed a five-year extension with the San Antonio Spurs, and while the deal is done, there's a notable caveat — his salary reportedly falls short of what his jaw-dropping accolades suggest he's worth. Still, Wemby stays in San Antonio, and that franchise just bought itself a future.
Meanwhile, Charles Barkley is weighing in on the LeBron James sweepstakes, and Chuck is not mincing words — the only rightful farewell tour for the King belongs in Cleveland. Klutch Sports hasn't told a single interested team they're out of the running yet, so this thing is wide open, but Barkley is planting his flag firmly on the shores of Lake Erie.
And over at Citi Field, the Red Sox rolled in just over two hours before first pitch after their team plane sat grounded for nearly twenty-four hours with mechanical issues. Boston arrived at five oh five eastern, scrambling to get ready against the Mets — not exactly the ideal pregame routine for a road series opener.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
