LeBron James is making the basketball world wait just a little longer. The former Laker announced Thursday that a final decision on his free agency is coming soon, with the Warriors, Heat, Cavaliers, and Seventy-Sixers all reportedly in the mix. Wherever he lands, it reshapes the entire league.
Shifting to the links, Jackson Suber is your first-round leader at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, and he is doing it on debut. First Open appearance, top of the leaderboard — that is not nerves, that is a statement. The Claret Jug conversation starts now with a name most casual fans are still learning to spell.
And in St. Louis, the Blues are locking up Connor McMichael for the long haul — six years, forty point five million dollars. Recently acquired and immediately extended, management clearly saw enough to commit. That is a significant investment in a forward they believe can be a cornerstone piece of this roster moving forward.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
