🏀 Celtics, Trail Blazers Swap Jrue Holiday, Anfernee Simons |
The Celtics are reportedly trading veteran guard Jrue Holiday to the Trail Blazers in exchange for 26-year-old Anfernee Simons and two future second-round picks.
Holiday, a two-time NBA champion and defensive stalwart, returns to Portland—where he was briefly rostered in 2023—bringing leadership to a young Blazers squad.
For Boston, this move injects youth and offensive firepower into their backcourt, especially crucial with Jayson Tatum sidelined due to an Achilles injury.
Simons, known for his sharpshooting and averaging 19.3 points per game last season, offers the Celtics a dynamic scoring option as they navigate a transitional phase. | ⚾ D-Backs’ Corbin Carroll Diagnosed With Wrist Fracture |
Diamondbacks star outfielder Corbin Carroll has been diagnosed with a chip fracture in his left wrist after taking a 91 mph sinker off the hand last week in Toronto.
Initial X-rays missed it, but an MRI confirmed the injury, and he’s now headed to the injured list with no clear timetable for return.
Carroll was in the midst of another stellar season, slashing .255/.341/.573 with 20 homers, 44 RBIs, and an MLB-best nine triples.
With Arizona clinging to Wild Card hopes, losing their leadoff spark plug and 2023 NL Rookie of the Year is a major blow. |
🏒 Flyers Acquire C Trevor Zegras |
The Flyers made a bold move on Monday, acquiring Trevor Zegras from the Ducks in exchange for Ryan Poehling, the 45th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, and a 2026 fourth-rounder.
Zegras, once a rising star with back-to-back 60-point seasons, has faced challenges recently due to injuries and a decline in performance.
However, at just 24, he brings a high ceiling and dynamic playmaking ability to a young Flyers core that includes Matvei Michkov and Tyson Foerster.
Philadelphia is betting that a change of scenery and a return to his preferred center position will help Zegras rediscover his elite form. |
