Luka Doncic is named an ambassador for ESPN's Take Back Sports initiative
Armed with a new three-year, $165 million contract extension that he agreed to on Saturday, Luka Doncic can stay in the moment, as he will be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for at least the next three seasons. He is about to take part in the EuroBasket tournament overseas. The competition's exhibition slate of games will start on Friday, and the actual tournament will commence near the end of this month. In the meantime, Doncic is teaming up with ESPN to become a Take Back Sports ambassador in order to promote an active lifestyle for children. 'Play changed my life. Every kid deserves the chance to play, learn, grow, have fun and make friends,' said Luka Dončić. 'The Luka Dončić Foundation and ESPN's Take Back Sports initiative are focused on making youth sports more accessible and less stressful for everyone. Together, we can bring the joy back to the game.' The Take Back Sports initiative was started earlier this year in collaboration with Golden State Warriors living legend Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha's Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. Now Doncic is a part of this large initiative that is not only encouraging kids to be active but is also looking to prevent kids from quitting sports. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry from the Baltimore Ravens and retired NFL stars Eli and Peyton Manning are just a few other athletes who have also been named as ambassadors for the Take Back Sports initiative.

ESPN to acquire NFL Network, media assets in exchange for 10% equity stake
Disney announced Tuesday that ESPN will acquire the National Football League's NFL Network, and would get broad rights to its other media platforms such as RedZone, in exchange for a 10% equity stake in the sports network. Why it matters: The landmark deal brings the country's biggest sports league even closer to its preeminent sports network as streaming upends live TV. Zoom in: The deal, announced ahead of Disney's earnings report Wednesday, ensures that ESPN will become the premiere destination for NFL coverage, a key advantage as the network looks to lure subscribers to its new streaming service. The agreement allows ESPN to fully own and operate the NFL Network, and integrate it into ESPN's upcoming direct-to-consumer streaming network that's set to debut this fall. NFL's Redzone linear channel will joint Disney's portfolio of TV networks, giving ESPN broad rights to distribute the NFL RedZone Channel to pay TV operators for continued inclusion into their sports packages. ESPN's Fantasy football offering will be combined with NFL Fantasy. The NFL will continue to own and operate some of its media properties, including NFL Films, NFL+, the NFL Podcast Network, the NFL FAST Channel and the official sites for the league's 32 clubs. Between the lines: The deal also gives the ESPN licensing rights to more NFL games and certain NFL content that can be used for the NFL Network and other media assets. With the agreement, ESPN will get access to three additional national NFL games per season through the NFL Network. It also gets access to the seven existing national games aired by the NFL Network, giving it a total of 28 games per season, versus 22 games before. The big picture: The mutually beneficial deal allows both ESPN and NFL to more seamlessly transition into the streaming era. The NFL can offload the responsibility of owning and operating its own linear media networks in a challenging cable environment. Its media assets have a greater distribution opportunity when bundled with ESPN's products. ESPN gets more access to NFL content to attract new subscribers. The bottom line: Both parties lauded the agreement as a win for consumers.
