FanDuel's layoffs impacted a few hundred people, sources tell @FOS.

Employees received a meeting invite the night before; when they joined the next day, an HR rep was on the call.

“As soon as I saw the HR person, I was like ‘oh god, here we go.’”

The Knicks have people who thought they “knew ball” in shambles

[Pacers Post Up @PacersPostUp]

This Knicks run is going to age as one of the most overrated Finals runs we’ve ever seen.

Hawks.
Sixers.
Cavs.

And now a young, inexperienced Spurs team that looked emotionally spent after knocking off an injured OKC squad.

The revisionist history that’s about to follow is going to be unbearable.

Game 2 was tied and then this happened…

This is what coaches mean when they say, "Don't make a bad play worse." 😂

[NBA Coaches Assoc. @NBA_Coaches]

The membership of the National Basketball Coaches Association joins the NBA family in mourning the passing of legendary Head Coach and Hall of Famer, Rick Adelman.

Rick Adelman coached in the NBA for 29 years, serving as a Head Coach for 23 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Over his coaching career, Rick won 1,042 games (10th all-time), was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021 and received the NBCA Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Coach Adelman also enjoyed an eight-year NBA playing career with the San Diego Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Jazz, and Kansas City-Omaha Kings.

Adelman will be remembered not only as a coach and a player, but also as a mentor to so many in the basketball community. Rick was a husband to Mary Kay for 56 years; father to Kathy, RJ, Laura, David, Caitlin, and Patrick; and a grandfather of twelve. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adelman family during this difficult time.

I don’t think it was a coincidence Chuck was involved in that action 😩

[B. Scott from Hiram Clarke @brandonkscott]

I’d just turned 8 years old. Was looking forward to the Rockets facing the Bulls in the Finals once and for all. And then Karl Malone sets one of the great illegal screens you’ll ever see. Clyde Drexler is erased from the play. And then John Stockton.

[Scott Van Pelt @notthefakeSVP]

Lousy weather in DC, took my little guy to the mall to get some new hoop shoes. Took me back to Irving’s Sports with my pop getting my first Dr. J’s. I was over the moon.

Reminded me that we do so much on line because of convenience, but the feeling for a kid to be in a store full of sneakers and getting to pick one is HIGH on the list of kid feelings.

[Colton Pouncy @colton_pouncy]

Jack Campbell’s extension with the Lions was first reported by a physical therapist in Michigan, from the comfort of her car, before heading to work on Thursday.

So, how exactly did @sweta2311 scoop the NFL’s biggest insiders?

An organizational effort.

Can you name the five players who caught passes from BOTH Peyton Manning and @TomBrady??

"There were mistakes made in terms of managing my injury. ... Feeling like the medical community didn't do me right."

@realgranthill33 speaks out on his complicated injury history that began with a left ankle injury in 2000.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Like father like son: Charles Woodson Jr. has committed to the University of Michigan. He’s a four-star defensive back from Orlando (Fla.) Lake Nona who is the son of former Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson.

[Nathan King @NathanKing247]

Mike Krzyzewski is asked about the comparison between his Duke retirement and giving the job to Jon Scheyer, and Auburn's transition from Bruce Pearl to Steven Pearl.

"Well, Jon isn't my son. I don't think."

Getting a Vegas hotel without a Casino is the ultimate grown man hack. Coming here hasn’t been so bad since I started doing that.
