On this day in 2014, Dirk Nowitzki passed Hakeem Olajuwon to become the highest-scoring foreign-born player in NBA history.

๐ Michael Jordan: 32,292 (6th)
๐ Nowitzki: 31,560 points (7th)
๐ Wilt Chamberlain: 31,419 (8th)

Florida State is hiring Jeff Purinton as its next athletic director, sources tell @YahooSports.
The former Arkansas State AD and FSU alum, Purinton has been working as a Learfield executive.
Louisville's Lincoln Kienholz is channeling his inner Lamar Jackson ๐
The Cardinals QB had his 5th game with 300+ offensive yards and 3 TD responsible for.
It's the most in a season for Louisville since Lamar Jackson had 10 in 2017 ๐คฏ
Trade: Colts are sending three-time Pro-Bowl DT DeForest Buckner back to the 49ers, the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, per me and @rapsheet. Now Buckner returns to San Francisco, fortifying the 49ers defensive line.
Cooper Flagg finished with 29 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in a win tonight against Miami.
He became the first teenager to record this stat line in a game since 1973-74 (when blocks were first recorded) and the second Mav to do so in franchise history.
Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency.
But an all-time Colt now moves on to the Seahawks.
