We are Bucky-less today, but we have LIVE sports happening! The Open Championship is underway at Royal Portrush and some traditions came to an end as the tournament started. Adam Silver spoke on Tuesday, but did he say anything we were surprised by? Did what he said alter our feelings on the NBA returning to Seattle?

The NBA has been having their league meeting in Las Vegas this week and the topic of expansion once again came up. Some owners are against expansion and commissioner Adam Silver did not say that they are moving forward with plans for expansion, but they are talking about it and doing analysis of what it would mean for the league economically. // Need to Know: The National League won the 2025 All-Star game after a dramatic comeback by the AL late in the game which prompted a Swing-Off.

NBA League meetings were happening this week and Adam Silver gave another vague comment on possible NBA expansion. // The Mariners ended the first half of the season on a high note by sweeping the Tigers and seeing the resurgence of Julio with Arozarena hitting his stride at the plate showing us his power. Was it the right decision for Julio to sit out the All-Star game to help him in the 2nd half of the season?

What position is the priority for the Mariners to go after? // Blue 88: What are Brock’s concerning numbers for Sam Darnold going into the 2025 season? With two 2nd round picks still not signed for the Seahawks ahead of training camp, who has the most leverage in this situation, the players or the team?

Sign up for the Derek Thompson newsletter. In Game 7 of this year's NBA Finals, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter while attempting to drive to the basket on an injured calf. It was the third major Achilles injury of the 2025 NBA playoffs. Curiously, Achilles tears are typically an older-dude injury, as they're most common in middle-aged men, according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Biomechanics. So the sudden clustering of this injury among star athletes in their prime has inspired a lot of head-scratching among NBA fans and even the league itself. “We had already convened a panel of experts before Tyrese's most recent Achilles rupture,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. When you zoom out from basketball and consider the broader landscape of sports, the injury surge seems quite real. In baseball, we've seen a huge increase in the so-called "Tommy John surgery," which repairs a torn UCL in a pitcher's elbow. In soccer, ACL injuries have been rising, particularly in women's soccer. And that's before we get to the huge amount of media attention that's been paid to concussions in football. What's going on here? Vern Gambetta, a conditioning coach, trainer, and adviser to professional soccer, baseball, basketball, and Olympics teams, explains why major injuries might be surging across sports—and what it tells us about the risks of pushing the human body to its physical limit. If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.
