Patrick Mahomes is trending in the right direction. Less than five months removed from tearing his ACL, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid says his quarterback is in a good position to join Kansas City at OTAs later this month. Reid kept the details close to the vest, but his optimism spoke volumes for a franchise that never stops moving.
Shifting to the hardwood, and what a night in Boston. Joel Embiid dropped thirty-four points, twelve rebounds, and six assists, while Tyrese Maxey chipped in thirty points and eleven boards as the Philadelphia seventy-sixers knocked out the second-seeded Celtics one hundred nine to one hundred in Game Seven. Philadelphia stormed back from three games to one down to pull off only the fourteenth such comeback in NBA playoff history, and they did it without ever seeing Jayson Tatum, who was sidelined by knee stiffness.
Now the Sixers set their sights on the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, a matchup that just became the most compelling second-round series in the East. Meanwhile, Boston has some serious soul-searching to do after blowing a commanding series lead at home, going from Eastern Conference favorites to an embarrassing first-round exit.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
