Jrue Holiday is officially a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, but, in the press release, the Blazers announced a trade that looks different than the one that was reported two weeks ago. Anfernee Simons is still going to the Boston Celtics in a guard-for-guard swap, but the Celtics are no longer getting two second-round picks from Portland to sweeten the deal.
The two teams agreed to revise the trade after the Blazers looked at Holiday’s medicals, according to The Oregonian:
According to [a league source], a recent review of Holiday’s medicals revealed nothing substantial enough to warrant the trade being negated. However, there was enough there to lead the Blazers to slightly alter the terms of the deal. Holiday, the source said, is considered to be healthy and will be working out this summer in preparation for the start of training camp near the end of September.

Holiday, the source said, is considered to be healthy and will be working out this summer in preparation for the start of training camp near the end of September.
On the one hand, this is a small victory for Portland. The Blazers took some criticism for giving up draft capital while turning Simons into a player who is nine years older, but it turns out they have simply turned Simons into a player who is nine years older, without giving up draft capital. That’s objectively better.
On the other hand, Portland will now likely take some criticism for turning Simons into a player who is nine years older and has medical concerns. It is unclear what exactly the Blazers saw that caused them to seek to adjust the terms of the trade, but Holiday dealt with a strained right hamstring during the 2025 playoffs and had an unusual hand injury (“mallet finger” in his right pinky) during the regular season.
Portland’s front office, led by general manager Joe Cronin, is now in a profoundly strange situation. It must assure fans that they shouldn’t be concerned about Holiday’s health, despite the fact that it just reduced the cost of acquiring him on the basis of its concerns about Holiday’s health.

Em ascensão e possível titular do Chelsea, João Pedro reencontra Fluminense no Mundial
Destaque na base do Fluminense, venda aos 17 anos, disputa da segunda divisão inglesa e da Premier League, além de mais duas negociações que, somadas à primeira, totalizam cerca de R$ 664 milhões. Esse foi o caminho do atacante João Pedro, de apenas 23 anos, até aqui. Há seis dias como jogador do Chelsea, ele tem chances de fazer sua primeira partida como titular pelos blues justamente contra o tricolor, hoje, às 16h, em Nova Jersey, pela semifinal da Copa do Mundo de Clubes. Centroavante, ele disputa a vaga de Liam Delap, suspenso pelo segundo cartão amarelo, com Nicolas Jackson. — Acredito que João possa jogar em todas as posições do ataque. Aberto, como camisa dez e como camisa nove. É diferente de Nico, que vejo apenas como um nove — disse o técnico do Chelsea, Enzo Maresca, mantendo o […]
Choque de gerações: com 10 anos ‘a mais’ que o Chelsea, Fluminense busca atalhos que só o tempo permite enxergar
"Não se iludam. Não me iludo. Tudo agora mesmo pode estar por um segundo”. Os versos da canção “Tempo-Rei”, do tricolor Gilberto Gil, poderiam muito bem embalar o sonho do Fluminense de ir à final da Copa do Mundo de Clubes em caso de vitória sobre o Chelsea, às 16h, em Nova Jersey. Assim como na decisão de 2023 contra o Manchester City, a experiência predomina na equipe brasileira em relação ao time inglês, recheado de jovens talentos. Pois talvez esteja na sensação mais real da finitude uma das vantagens do time comandado por Renato Gaúcho. A partida marca o encontro de dois projetos de futebol novamente distintos pela questão financeira, e que gera um choque de gerações entre dois times separados por quase uma década na média de idade. Se por um lado o Fluminense aposta na experiência e […]

Evian Championship: Korda, Hull, British major hopes and how to watch
The women's major season continues this week with the Evian Championship, with Jeeno Thitikul having another opportunity to end Nelly Korda's reign at the top of the world rankings. We take a look at some of the potential storylines to follow this week in France...Can Korda end America's mini major drought? Nine of the last 10 major winners in the men's game have been American, with Rory McIlroy's Grand Slam success at The Masters the only exception, although the same level of success has not been matched in the women's majors. Korda's Chevron Championship win last April is the most recent American women's major champion, with the last seven majors producing different winners from outside of the United States - Minjee Lee, Maja Stark, Mao Saigo, Lydia Ko, Ayaka Furue, Amy Yang and Yuka Saso.
