Precious Achiuwa is somewhat of an undersized center. With Isaiah Hartenstein signing with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New York Knicks had a clear need for center depth. That is especially more true because starting center Mitchell Robinson has a lengthy history of missing action due to injury. Jericho Sims is also on the team, but he hasn’t shown enough to be more than an end-of-the-bench player.

According to Sean Cunningham of FOX40 News, former first-round pick Skal Labissiere will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Sacramento Kings. An Exhibit 10 attachment allows teams to convert a player’s one-year minimum contract into a two-way contract before the start of the season. They allow players to earn a bonus if they’re waived by a team and sign to their G League affiliate, in this case the Stockton Kings, and remain with that team for 60 days.

Kentucky basketball has had a wild spring. It all started in March with crashing out to 15-seed Oakland in the NCAA Tournament. This led to fan unrest with coach John Calipari and he ultimately decided to leave for Arkansas. His replacement was former BYU head coach Mark Pope. While many believed him to be a good hire, there were a few questions about his fit for the role, mainly regarding recruiting. These questions seem to be answered after Pope has landed the commitment of Malachi Moreno, the nation’s top center.

Despite winning both the Vezina and Jennings Trophies and three Stanley Cup Championships, Marc-Andre Fleury is one of the most underrated goalies of all-time. Other than Pittsburgh Penguins fans, not many talk about him or his greatness. Maybe it is due to the other elite goaltenders in the league while Fleury was still playing caused him to get overshadowed.

Sometimes coincidences happen and you’re glad they did. I wrote a while back about a Denver Police Department officer who saved the day once after I had been thrown out of the homeless shelter on 48th several years ago. I had left my cot to use the restroom, and when I came back there was a man in my bed claiming it was his bed. The shelter manager sided with him and ejected me.

According to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, the Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned center fielder Alek Thomas to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, Arizona recalled rookie infielder Blaze Alexander. Thomas, 24, has struggled since his return from injury. He will return to the minors for the time since he was last sent there in May of 2023. Thomas had been losing playing time to the red-hot Jake McCarthy and will now head to Reno, where he will be given more reps again. His strong outfield defense didn’t overcome his weak bat, as he’s hitting .191/.248/.362 in 37 games with Arizona this season.
