It’s been a whirlwind of a season for Karl-Anthony Towns. In training camp, he turned heads by stating that he was trying to figure out his role in Mike Brown’s offense.

The Los Angeles Kings have improved slightly of late in the goal-scoring department, but despite the addition of Artemi Panarin, putting the biscuit in the basket is still something the team will be looking to improve on significantly for next season. To that end, they have announced that they are bringing in college hockey's top goal-scorer from the 2025-26 season.

As we near another NBA postseason, the Sixers are likely going to be one of the teams participating in the Eastern Conference half of the bracket, either being the sixth seed or via the play-in.

I guess it’s a useful exercise, as we tiptoe ever closer to the promised land, to take one more quick glance at the abyss.
