My wife and I were reminiscing about Starter jackets we owned back in the day. Might have backfired, because now our daughter wants one from the re-launched collection. Not a big deal, except that they are like $200 and we live in Florida, where you rarely need a jacket!

Ben Simmons posts a message on Instagram after suffering a torn Achilles: https://t.co/YPmpse554L
The Suns were smart to delay Oso Ighodaro's extension until the 2028-29 season. The books are still pretty tight through next season, so Ighodaro at $2.5M is a steal. Really good work by Ighodaro and his reps to get him almost $10M AAV too. Huge win for a former second-rounder.
Shams: Oso Ighodaro has agreed to a 3-year, $29M extension with the Suns.

The Sacramento Kings say Ben Simmons has suffered a torn right Achilles tendon, an MRI confirmed. https://t.co/n6MDqMaucd
Stephen Curry appeared to have suffered knee injury during Warriors open practice Sunday. He limped to the locker room. https://t.co/E3c6ywdjrZ
Devastating in Sacramento for Ben Simmons to sustain such a serious injury just as he was about to make his official NBA comeback. If an Achilles tear is confirmed it would be the third already this month following Philadelphia's Ariel Hukporti and Oklahoma City's Otega Oweh.
You have to be kidding me with that Ben Simmons news that he tore his Achilles. That's brutal. I'm gutted for him, especially after all the preseason buzz was so positive from him and the Kings.
Shams: Ben Simmons believed to have suffered torn Achilles.

I love Trafford as a shot-stopper, but he terrifies me at least five times per game when he has the ball at his feet.
