Milan Momcilovic received an NIL package over $6.5 million from Kentucky after winning a bidding war against Louisville and Arizona.

Momcilovic, projected as an early 2nd-round pick, will make more than the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

The power of the new NIL era.

Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter.

Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.

JUST IN: The NBA released the official NBA Finals court designs, with the Larry O’Brien trophy on them.

Let’s freaking go.
