Phoenix Mercury guard Alexa Held, 25, suffered a scary injury against the New York Liberty on Thursday, June 19, ultimately leaving the game due to a partially collapsed lung. While the team would go on to Chicago to take on the Sky on June 21, Held had to remain under observation in New York, recovering from her collision with Breanna Stewart. Even after she was cleared, she was not in any state to fly. So, how on Earth was Held supposed to get back home, back to Phoenix with her team?

Thirty picks down, 29 to go. The first round of the 2025 NBA Draft got off without a hitch. Unsurprisingly, Cooper Flagg went No. 1 overall to the Dallas Mavericks, while Duke teammates Kon Knueppel (No. 4) and Khaman Maluach (No. 10) each went inside the top 10.

The NBA Finals might have just ended, but the NBA draft is close. So close we can almost smell that unforgettable stench of improperly fitting snapbacks and Adam's Silver's ever-round glasses. While this year's No. 1 pick is all but assured in Duke's Cooper Flagg, there are still a ton of question marks surrounding the draft, particularly at the end of the top-ten. Will the Rutgers duo of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey each go in the top five? Will any international players go in the top 10?

The 2025 NHL Draft is less than a week away, and after the New York Islanders moved from 10th to 1st in the draft lottery, the team has an opportunity to give themselves a massive boost.
