The Los Angeles Lakers are officially on the move. Former Disney CEO Bob Iger and investor Joshua Kushner are set to acquire one of the most iconic franchises in professional sports in a deal valued at a reported twelve point five billion dollars, the highest price ever paid for an NBA team. The Buss family era draws to a close.
Shifting to the gridiron, and new Bears head coach Ben Johnson isn't thinking small. Johnson went on record saying he wants Chicago to become the highest-scoring offense in NFL history, a statement that goes beyond Super Bowl ambitions. That's a bold declaration for a franchise that hasn't exactly been lighting up scoreboards in recent memory.
And in Atlanta, Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Tua Tagovailoa will start Friday night's preseason opener against Denver, though he stopped short of naming Tua the outright starter heading into the regular season. That's a notable hesitation from a new coaching staff still sizing up its quarterback situation with the regular season closing in fast.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
