***Top Sports Headlines***
>>Lions Release Terrion Arnold After Bail Granted
(Tampa, FL) — The Detroit Lions are releasing cornerback Terrion Arnold after he was granted bond in a felony kidnapping case. A Florida judge agreed to give Arnold a one-million-dollar-bond, despite prosecutors arguing he should be held in jail until his trial. He’s accused of being involved in an attack on two men who he thought stole his property from the AirBNB he rented in February. Arnold was a first round pick by the Lions in 2024 and only played eight games last year due to injury.
>>Report: Trail Blazers Acquire Ja Morant From Grizzlies
(Portland, OR) — The Trail Blazers are taking a chance on an explosive point guard. ESPN reports the team acquired Ja Morant from the Grizzlies on Monday in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray. Morant averaged 19-and-a-half points in just 20 games this past season. The second-overall pick in the 2019 draft has suited up for only 79 games over the last three years due to injuries or off-court issues.
>>NBA Free Agency Begins Tuesday
(Undated) — The NBA offseason is reaching another critical juncture. Free agency begins on Tuesday with the negotiation period. LeBron James once again takes center stage as the 41-year-old is unrestricted and could leave the Lakers. Other notable players hitting the market include Detroit’s Jalen Duren, Cleveland’s James Harden and Miami’s Norman Powell. Meanwhile, trades continue to dominate the news cycle. Ja Morant moved from Memphis to Portland on Monday while rumors are still swirling around Boston’s Jaylen Brown.
>>Report: Knicks Re-Signing Landry Shamet
(Undated) — The NBA champs are bringing back a veteran. According to ESPN, the Knicks are signing guard Landry Shamet to a four-year, 24-million-dollar contract. The 29-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent. He spent the past two seasons in New York where he averaged just over seven points in 101 regular season games. Shamet shot over 47 percent from three during the team’s title run.
>>Former NBA Players Indicted On Gambling Scheme
(Undated) — Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis are among six defendants indicted Monday on charges related to an alleged sports gambling scheme. According to the indictment, Beasley lost millions of dollars gambling during his nine-year NBA career, and agreed to manipulate his stats ahead of at least four games while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2023-24 season. The bribes were often used to pay off debts he owed to Davis, who was his teammate with the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2020-21 season.
>>Viktor Hovland Wins The Travelers Championship
(Cromwell, CT) — Viktor Hovland captured another PGA Tour title after taking down Scottie Scheffler in a one-hole playoff to win the Travelers Championship. Hovland earned the victory after Scheffler failed to birdie the 18th hole. The 28-year-old improves to 2-and-0 in playoff rounds and now has eight career wins on Tour. Both players finished atop the leaderboard after four rounds at 21 under par.
>>Paraguay, Morocco, Brazil Advance To World Cup Ro16

Morocco did the exact same to the Netherlands south of the border. Elsewhere, Brazil held off Japan 2-1 from Houston to wrap up Monday’s slate of chaotic games. The Round of 32 knockout stage continues with three more matches on Tuesday. Ivory Coast and Norway clash from Arlington, France and Sweden square off in Jersey while Mexico kicks off in front of its home crowd against Ecuador in an explosive nightcap.
>>WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Final Preview
(Brooklyn, NY) — Two of the top teams in the WNBA are set to square off in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship. The Liberty host the Aces for the title on Tuesday at Barclays Center. New York is a perfect 6-and-0 in the tournament, but enters cold after dropping four of its last five games. Las Vegas finished tied atop the Western Conference at 6-and-1. The Aces could be without four-time league MVP A’ja Wilson, who is listed as questionable with a right leg injury.
>>Sky At Aces Friday Night
(Las Vegas, NV) — The Sky hope to get revenge later this week. The team tips off against the Aces on the road Friday night. Chicago is coming off a weekend loss to Vegas, which snapped a two-game winning streak.
