Minnesota Teams

The Minnesota Lynx had a fantastic outing, led by rookie Olivia Miles, who is having a historically great first season. Miles dropped a career-high 33 points in a recent win, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 400 points, 100 rebounds, and 100 assists (doing it in just 22 games). She and teammate Kayla McBride combined for a massive 70 points in the game.

NFL

It's the quiet part of the NFL calendar, but training camps are right around the corner, which means plenty of quarterback drama. Former Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is in the headlines, with sports pundits debating if the Las Vegas Raiders should bench him to immediately start their new rookie, Fernando Mendoza. Elsewhere, another former Viking, Stefon Diggs, is making waves in free agency by calling himself the best "WR2" (a secondary wide receiver) in the league, arguing it makes him a more attractive signing for a team needing a veteran target.

NBA

The entire basketball world is playing the waiting game with LeBron James, who is currently a free agency. Rumors are swirling that the Spurs, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Heat are all vying for him, with early rankings giving San Antonio the edge to land the superstar. In other league news, the Golden State Warriors are bringing in Frank Vogel—a coach who previously won a championship with the Lakers—as their new associate head coach to help out their veteran staff.

MLB

It's All-Star week in Philadelphia! Last night, Cardinals slugger Jordan Walker won the Home Run Derby in a dramatic showdown, denying the Phillies' hometown hero Kyle Schwarber a title. Tonight is the actual All-Star Game (a midsummer exhibition where the best players from both leagues face off), with the Phillies' Cristopher Sánchez starting for the National League and the Blue Jays' Dylan Cease taking the mound for the American League. Off the field, the Chicago White Sox made UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, signing him to a record-breaking $10.35 million bonus.

In early preseason college basketball rankings, Gonzaga has taken a tumble out of the top 10 after unexpectedly losing a key starter, Mario Saint-Supery. Meanwhile, on the football side, early projections suggest that major programs like Ohio State and Texas A&M might struggle to match their win totals from last year, facing what analysts call "regression."
