Good morning! 👋
It’s Wednesday, July 2. On this day in 1941, Joe DiMaggio hit a three‑run homer off Boston's Dick Newsome, breaking Willie Keeler’s MLB record 44‑game hit streak—and would go on to a 56‑game streak that still stands today.

🏀 Bucks Waive PG Damian Lillard, Sign C Myles Turner |
The Bucks reportedly pulled off a shocking cap shake-up—waiving injured point guard Damian Lillard and stretching his remaining $113 million contract over five seasons to free up space.
In his place, they’ve locked in center Myles Turner on a four-year, $107 million deal (with a player option), giving Milwaukee a much-needed rim protector and perimeter spacing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The move is turning heads league‑wide — while Turner bolsters the frontcourt, there’s buzz that Antetokounmpo isn’t thrilled about Lillard getting the boot.
Bottom line? It’s a high-stakes gamble by the Bucks, leaning on Turner to elevate the squad’s ceiling even as they ride out Lillard’s injury settlement. | 🏀 Thunder, SGA Agree to Historic Extension |
The Thunder have reportedly locked up Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander on a record‑breaking four‑year, $285 million super‑max extension, making him the highest‑paid player in NBA history at roughly $71.3 million per year.
Fresh off a historic season that saw him claim regular‑season MVP, Finals MVP, and the scoring title while leading OKC to its first championship, Gilgeous‑Alexander has cemented his status as the franchise cornerstone.
The deal runs through the 2030‑31 season and drops an opt‑out in its final year, giving both sides flexibility while keeping their firepower together.
With such a headline package, it’s not just a win for SGA—it’s a bold statement that the Thunder are all‑in on a dynasty in the making. |
🎾 Coco Gauff Stunned in Wimbledon First Round Upset |
American phenom Coco Gauff, fresh off her French Open triumph just three weeks prior, was stunningly dumped out of Wimbledon in the opening round by unseeded Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska, 7‑6(3), 6‑1.
The 21‑year‑old committed 29 unforced errors—including nine costly double faults—struggling to adapt to the swift transition from clay to grass.
The defeat marked her first first‑round exit at a Slam since 2022 and made her just the third woman in the Open Era to lose first up at Wimbledon after winning Roland Garros.
Yastremska, riding high on confidence, seized her moment—and now the draw gets wide open. |
