If you went to bed early on Monday night, then you missed out on what was the best game of the Summer League thus far. The Utah Jazz defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 112-111, as GG Jackson had his foot on the line of a 21-foot jumper he made at the buzzer, that would have tied the game at 112 if his toe were just one inch further back.
This game had everything. Jackson poured in 27 points with his aggressive attack-the-rim style, former Duke big man Kyle Filipowski registered a couple of massive dunks, including a surprise coast-to-coast poster, No. 5 overall pick Ace Bailey scored 18 points after struggling in his first professional outing and this year’s “Mr. Irrelevant,” Jahmai Mashack, fouled out with 10 personal fouls in 23 minutes.
The Jazz even had to mount a comeback, as they trailed Memphis by as many as 17 points. The 112 points Utah scored are the most it has ever recorded in a Summer League Game! Still, all of these storylines pale in comparison to what Brice Sensabaugh did.
The former first-round pick of the Jazz out of Ohio State in 2023 scored an SLC Summer League-record 37 points on 9-of-14 shooting, while hitting 6-of-9 three-point attempts and making 92.9% of his free throw attempts.
Sensabaugh was absolutely lethal from beyond the arc in what was truly a special performance, and showed his ability to not only create his own shot, but also be the valued corner catch-and-shoot option. Additionally, the 6-foot-5 forward showed off some slasher ability, getting to the rim for tough buckets.
The 21-year-old averaged just 7.5 points in 32 games played as a rookie, but appeared in 71 contests this past season and averaged 10.9 points per game, as well as 2.2 three pointers per game. Monday night wasn’t the first time Sensabaugh had an offensive explosion in front of the Jazz brass. In a January game against the Heat in Miami, Sensabaugh scored 34 points on 12 of 18 shooting, which included making 7 of 11 threes. He apparently likes the state of Florida, as Sensabaugh then had a 27-point outing vs. the Magic in Orlando the very next day while making 5 of 6 threes.
While the Jazz registered the worst record in the league last year at 17-65, the fan base has to be excited about some of the young talent this organization has acquired, and is in the process of developing.

Getty Images Half of the Club World Cup final is set as Chelsea defeated Fluminense with Joao Pedro scoring his first goals for the Blues against his boyhood club en route to a 2-0 victory Tuesday at MetLife Stadium.

Becoming the 10th goal scorer for the Blues in this tournament, Joao Pedro is helping give coach Enzo Maresca a good problem of figuring out who will start at striker in the final.

Joao Pedro makes his mark for Chelsea at Club World Cup as Blues’ attacking musical chairs continues
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Rare is the day a player earns a first start for their new team in the semifinal of a competition despite being under contract with an entirely different club during the group stage, but leave it to the new-look Club World Cup to shoehorn a new quirk into the structured soccer calendar. Even rarer, though, is for that player to leave a tangible mark in those circumstances, and while an oddity afforded Joao Pedro the chance to do such a thing, his brace in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Fluminense on Tuesday was a first glimpse at his quality in a Chelsea shirt. Joao Pedro wasted little time making an impact in the match, scoring in the 16th minute to give the Blues the lead. He was in the right place at the right time when a deflection meant […]

2025 Fantasy Football: Why Saquon Barkley shouldn’t go No. 1 overall, but is still worth drafting in Round 1
Let's make one thing perfectly clear: Saquon Barkley did not show signs of getting old or worn down. Even in the Super Bowl, his numbers weren't great because the Chiefs rallied to him effectively, and didn't miss many tackles, not because of his own skill set. He still was shifty and elusive which, for a back his size, is a big deal. Besides, the guy just ran for 2,504 yards including the playoffs, more than anyone has rushed for in a season and postseason in NFL history. He had 17 explosive runs of 20-plus yards, more than anyone in 2024 except Derrick Henry (19). He scored 13 rushing touchdowns, a career-best. He literally backward-hurdled over a defender last year. His athleticism isn't in question. Match that up with the team he plays on and it's as obvious as breathing: Saquon […]
