Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Tyrese Maxey is opening up about what it took to bring LeBron James to Philadelphia, and it sounds like he made his pitch personally. Now with LeBron and Jaylen Brown in the fold, Maxey is acknowledging the sixty-ers roster dynamics are shifting and he'll need to sacrifice his role to make it work.
Staying in the NBA, Carter Bryant is getting some rare one-on-one time with a living legend. The young San Antonio forward revealed that Gregg Popovich has been working with him behind the scenes during practice, offering the kind of mentorship most players only dream about at this stage of their career.
And on the gridiron, Jalen Carter is turning heads at Eagles camp for a different reason. The defensive tackle slimmed down considerably this offseason, and he's been vocal about the intentional choice behind the weight loss, suggesting he wants to move with more explosion off the line heading into the new season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
