Dwight Howard's wife files for divorce just six months after marriage: report
Amber Rose Howard, the rapper and reality star wife of former NBA center Dwight Howard, has reportedly filed for divorce six months after the couple tied the knot. Rose, who goes by the stage name Amy Luciani, filed for divorce on July 1 in Georgia, claiming that the marriage was "irretrievably broken," TMZ Sports reported, citing court documents. The documents also state that Rose is requesting alimony, asking that the marital assets and property be "equally divided." Rose has also removed any pictures of Howard from her social media accounts. Their relationship was made public in December, as they revealed being engaged to each other on Instagram. Rose also released a children's book with Howard as her last name. Rose's reality fame comes from her time on Seasons 11 and 12 of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." She also released an album entitled "Amy's World" in 2023. Meanwhile, Howard spent 18 seasons in the NBA, ultimately putting together a career worthy of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He was an eight-time All-Star, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and won an NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2020-21 season. Howard's stardom began with the Orlando Magic, who drafted him first overall out of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2004. He spent eight seasons with Orlando before joining the Lakers on his first of three stints with the team. Howard also played for the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers. Howard, who has not publicly discussed the divorce filing, is in the middle of his first season with Ice Cube's BIG3 League.

Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host the 2028 Final Four
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host the 2028 Final Four. A decade ago, it would have been inconceivable. A decade ago, the NFL shut down Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's fantasy football convention in Las Vegas, even though the convention was being held at a property that had no gambling on it. A decade ago, sports betting was legal in gambling but nowhere else. And while the proliferation and normalization of gambling throughout the country since 2018 has stripped Las Vegas of that which made it unique, it has opened new doors for Sin City. An NFL team resides there. A Super Bowl has happened there. An NHL team plays there. An MLB team is coming. (I think.) And now the Final Four will happen there. Via Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority voted on Monday to devote $26 million to the planning and execution of the event. LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill believes the economic impact will outweigh the expenses by $250 million or more. 'When that event takes place in Las Vegas, everybody knows it,' Hill told Akers. 'They telecast the skyline of our city over and over again and they talk about being here.' With most of the country now able to carry a casino around in their pockets, it's more important than ever to have more of what happens in Vegas happen in Vegas.

Trade Proposal: Byron Buxton To Phillies For Andrew Painter And Justin Crawford
It's that time of year when trade winds (and rumors galore) whip through the MLB with gale-force power, and a big one whipping around the Philadelphia Phillies is a potential deal for Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton. ESPN writer David Schoenfield tossed up the Buxton-to-Philly brainstorm, but to what cost to the Phils? How about losing two big-time prospects, Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford? Take a Zen breath, Phillies fans, the deal hasn't happened yet. The Phillies have been linked to the Twins' Byron Buxton. (Photo by) Indeed, it sounds insane to trade the gem of the farm system (Painter) and a potential everyday center fielder (Crawford) for the frequently injured 31-year-old Buxton. However, Buxton wields the impact bat Philly's wishy-washy lineup needs. He's belted 20 home runs with a .879 OPS in 73 games this year while being on pace for a career high in WAR. The former Gold Glover winner plays a sparkling center field, doing stuff like this: And maybe the biggest plus for Buxton is that he's (miraculously) stayed healthy this season, leading to him being named to the AL All-Star team for the second time in his career. Buxton would be a tremendous upgrade over Philly's mediocre centerfield tandem of Brandon Marsh and Johan Rojas. As Schoenfield noted, 'Centerfield has been a soft spot in recent seasons, with the Phillies in the bottom third in the majors in OPS this year, and the team's overall power output has been below average, even with Kyle Schwarber. Adding Buxton adds more pop to the middle of the order." There's also this: Getting Buxton would likely cause a domino-effect trade in which the Phils would deal Marsh or left fielder Max Kepler. But that's for Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski to decide. Schoenfield says Dombrowski knows 'how to go all-in,' and this may be the last chance to do so with the Phillies' aging core on a quest to get to one more World Series. Adding Buxton would improve those chances. Schoenfield admits that 'trading Painter would be painful' but the Phils' deep rotation would allow for such a bold move. Painter is currently at Triple-A, where he's been 'good but not great,' according to Dombrowski. But nobody denies the kid has ace-level stuff. Take a gander here: Unbelievably, the sticking point to the trade may not be the Philliess. Even though they are under .500, the Twins may not be quick to deal Buxton, whose team-friendly contract has him signed through 2028 and earning $15.1 million per season. But let's be honest: If Painter is on the table, it's an offer that would be tough to turn down. And if the Phils throw in Crawford, it would be a done deal.
