Chris Paul discovered he had been traded to Wizards in text from 14-year-old son | Phoenix Suns

Chris Paul discovered that his career in Phoenix had ended in a text from his teenage son.The 12-time All-Star was sent to the Washington Wizards on Sunday as part of a trade that saw Bradley Beal move to the Suns.“When [news of the trade] comes through … my son texts me,” the 38-year-old told the New York Times. “I showed my phone to my wife. Because, I mean, I had talked to [Suns general manager] James Jones yesterday or whatnot … I was surprised.”Paul suggested that former Detroit Pistons star Isiah Thomas, who is close to Suns owner Mat Ishbia, may have influenced the trade.“Mat and Isiah, I guess, just wanted to go in a different direction,” said Paul, who helped the Suns reach the NBA finals in the 2020-21 season.He added: “Seriously, it is part of the business, and what you realize...

LSU baseball falls to Wake Forest in 2023 College World Series after disastrous 8th inning

OMAHA, Neb. – It all came down to the eighth inning.LSU baseball had runners on first and third base with one out in the top of the eighth, in a prime position to retake the lead with the score tied at two. This was the biggest moment of the game, and the Tigers had Wake Forest on the ropes and Cade Beloso at the plate.Beloso did his job: putting the ball in play. He hit a slow rolling ground ball to third base that Wake Forest third baseman Brock Wilken fielded, double-clutched and threw to home plate.The play at the plate was close, but Tre Morgan was called out.Some may question his decision to go home at all, but the damage had already been done. An RBI single from catcher Bennett Lee handed the Demon Deacons the lead in the bottom of the eighth and then reliever Camden Minacci shut d...

Chris Paul says Isiah Thomas was involved in Suns owner Mat Ishbia’s decision to trade him to Wizards

The Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards are going to look a whole lot different next season after the two sides agreed to a trade that will send Chris Paul to D.C., with Bradley Beal headed to the Valley of the Sun. The exact framework of the deal still needs to be ironed out, but the Wizards will be getting Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps. The Suns get Beal, Jordan Goodwin and and Isaiah Todd in the deal, but Beal is the obvious draw to bolster an already potent offensive attack in Phoenix that includes Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.Paul could still be rerouted to a different team, with reports suggesting a reunion with the Los Angeles Clippers as a possibility. However, the ...

Jun 19, 2023, 06:35 AM ETA few big-name NFL veterans stole the spotlight at mandatory minicamps by showing up, or not showing up, or delaying showing up.

Wyndham Clark Captures the U.S. Open

Two Tuesdays ago, as the golf world erupted into chaos and fury, Wyndham Clark did not rush to write a shock-and-awe Twitter post. He did not fume in a meeting with the PGA Tour commissioner about the surprise pact with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. He did not moralize or criticize or, really, do much of anything other than play golf.His chosen course that Tuesday was the Los Angeles Country Club, which would host the U.S. Open, its debut major tournament, nine days later. A member of the club was Clark’s caddie, a friend turned tutor who knew some of the secrets of a North Course that only a handful of the game’s biggest stars had ever seen: how a putt might break here, how the speed might vary there, how firm the fairways might become.The payoff came Sunday evening, when Clark, ...

US Open co-leader Wyndham Clark calls late third-round tee times ‘a little ridiculous’

U.S. Open co-leader Wyndham Clark will be teeing it up with the man who's tied with him atop the leaderboard at 10-under, Rickie Fowler, with the chance to win his first golf major Sunday at Los Angeles Country Club (LACC).He’s likely happy that he won’t be going out too late either.Clark couldn’t contain his frustration with how late he teed off at LACC during the third round on Saturday as the sun was clearly setting as he was finishing his round, which obviously makes it hard to see the ball and everything else around the course.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Wyndham Clark plays his shot during the third round of the 123rd U.S. Open Championship at the Los Angeles Country Club on June 17, 2023.
