Because I’m a huge nerd and possibly the only person who thinks this is interesting: the ESPN feeds on League Pass today had no #NBAFinals logos on the court, but the Korean and Spanish (Movistar Spain) feeds had Finals and Emirates branding. #NBA

ESPN ANZ stretching the definition of “live”: on the #NCAAM title game today they are a full sixteen minutes behind live action, and refusing to skip the hype videos, intros, or anthem. And we even get an ad break before the jump.
Edit: TWO ad breaks. Ye Gods. 🙄

Lots of chatter about the Mavericks' injury situation right now, but check out the injury report for today's Sixers/Mavs game. 10 players out for Philly, 6 out (plus 1 'doubtful' and 2 'questionable') for Dallas. Show up to the game in a replica jersey and you might get a run. #NBA

ESPN reporting that Corey "Homicide" Williams has passed away after a battle with colon cancer. A New Yorker, he was the #NBL 2010 MVP playing for Townsville and won a D-League title in 2007.
He was the promotional voice of the NBL ("this ain't no cupcake league!"), as well as doing commentary.

!["We have pursued many options over the past 18 months to continue in our current form in the WNBL to secure new investors and other sources of funding, including from Basketball Australia, State and Local Government and private investors," [Boomers executive chair Tony] Hallam stated. "However unfortunately we have not been successful in securing future funding to support the ongoing operations of the Club. As we pursue equality in women's sport, there is quite rightly an increasing expectation by our wonderful athletes and coaches in terms of remuneration and working condtiions (enjoyed by their male counterparts) - however these significant rising costs cannot continue to be absorbed just by the private owners, without the support of the current league owner, Basketball Australia."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ixv3zuuxqnonygjj7icdfhzc/bafkreieefy6b3tqw72uhzkomxsh36bsimfsg6pfuxsn6usjl2exjf4nknq@jpeg)

Second-last week of #NBL24 gets underway tomorrow. SEM are out with a loss; losses put CNS/ADL right on the bubble.
MEL can clinch #1 with a W and a PER loss; TAS clinch a playoff spot with a W and an NZ loss. (Those positions are probably safe on points%.)
#WNBL24 is off this week (FIBA break).
