Shot, chaser!
The Blazers went ahead 46-40 midway through the second quarter on Kris Murray’s 3-pointer. But the Timberwolves rallied behind guard Anthony Edwards' 41 points to take the season opener. To make matters worse, Portland coach Chauncey Billups was arrested in a federal gambling probe.

Great to see such a principled stand from a guy already known for his commitment to not using alternative methods to improve performance.

If I’m proud of one thing at ASA, it’s that we have done a really good job of making data accessible to people without the tools to meaningfully engage with it otherwise.
This is the next big step in that!
Shoutout @cata-bush.bsky.social who has done a stupid amount of work on this.

St. Louis City have parted ways with sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel.
Pfannenstiel was club's first-ever sporting director. Led STL to historic expansion season in 2023, first place in the West.
Club missed playoffs in 2024, sit 14th in the West with 7 games left.
