After 11 seasons in the NBA, big man Mike Muscala has retired from the game of basketball, per Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman. According to Muscala’s father, Bob, the 2013 second-round pick “intends to attend graduate school to pursue a master’s degree in sports management, with intentions to venture into basketball coaching and/or administration.”

The Demon Deacons have fared well during Steve Forbes’ tenure. Wake Forest came close in the 2023-2024 season but ultimately failed to make the NCAA tournament due to a weak out-of-conference record. That shouldn’t be an issue this year as they have a couple of difficult non-conference games, but most of which are winnable. Nonetheless, they’ll need to play well against in-conference opponents, as they may not be the best college basketball team in the state of North Carolina. Let’s dive into a full Wake Forest Basketball Preview, as the team tries to make the Big Dance.

It’s now or never for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman. Selected with the 27th-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Minnesota product has yet to justify his early selection. While he’s had some moments of greatness, the injuries and an inability to climb the depth chart have ultimately limited Bateman throughout his short career. The wideout has yet to crack 600 yards in a single season, as he spent the entire 2023 season buried behind first-round pick Zay Flowers and veteran Odell Beckham.

While the end of an era may be coming for the Golden State Warriors, it may be further down the road than initially thought. Last season, Golden State missed the playoffs for the third time in the previous five years. However, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were healthy for the first time, and the Warriors were left out in the cold.

Vanishing Georgia

I believe this may be the earliest surviving structure of the Douglass School. The original school, with five classrooms, stood at this same intersection, but I’m not sure at which corner. Jack Hadley notes that this fine building served as “Douglass High School’s extended classroom.” It probably dates to circa 1910, or even a bit […]

Nikola Jovic really took a step forward in his second season after an injury-plagued rookie season with the Miami Heat. He was previously selected 27th overall by Miami in the 2022 NBA Draft. After also experiencing troubles with his play when in the lineup as a rookie, he became a mostly full-time starter for head coach Erik Spoelstra in his second year.

After designating him for assignment last week, the Los Angeles Angels have requested release waivers on Miguel Sanó. The Angels signed the 31-year-old right-handed batter to a minor league contract for 2024. They saw enough to believe he could still help a major league team, and Sanó broke camp with them to start the season. Playing at the corner infield spots while also serving as a designated hitter, on April 21, he was hitting .300/.390/.420, albeit without the power he had displayed in his major league career.

The New York Yankees trade rumors are plenty. A new report revealed the rumored cost for the Yankees if they want to pursue Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet. The Yankees have been struggling of late, but their wins against the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend are signs of a possible turnaround. They now have a chance to sweep the Orioles and retake first place in the American League East. The Yankees problems persist and general manager Brian Cashman will need to make some moves before the July trade deadline. The club is eyeing multiple players, including Crochet. Either way, the asking price may be too high for the Yankees.
