TCU retires No. 1 jersey of Desmond Bane, the guard who helped Frogs get to 1st NCAA in 20 years
Bane, now in his fifth season with the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies, was honored at halftime of TCU's game Tuesday night against Texas Tech. He is the sixth Horned Frogs player to have his jersey retired, and it came a year after Kenrich Williams' No. 34 was retired.
Williams, now with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, and Bane were teammates when TCU won the 2017 NIT, the program's first postseason championship. Williams was a senior and Bane a sophomore when the Frogs went to the NCAA Tournament the next season, their first since 1998.
Bane was a first-team AP All-Big 12 selection as a senior in 2020, when he averaged 16.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He is TCU's career leader with 249 made 3-pointers, 84 wins and 141 games played, while ranking third with 1,784 points and 659 field goals.
Kurt Thomas in 1995 was the TCU's only first-round NBA draft pick until Bane got selected in the first round in 2020.

NBA teases OKC Thunder 2025-26 City Edition jersey announcement
Teasing their arrival, the NBA showed a glimpse of what the 2025-26 City Edition uniforms could look like. From what they posted on social media, they will have a throwback approach by bringing back a fan-favorite classic for each team. The NBA posted a graphic where each number and letter in "2025-26 NBA & Nike City Edition Remix" was replaced with a font of an NBA team's previous City Edition jersey. For the Oklahoma City Thunder, the "k" in Nike was in the same font as their infamous 2018-19 Native American heritage tribute jersey. It served as the Thunder's City Edition uniform in the final year of the Russell Westbrook and Paul George era. The fan favorite always gets mentioned among the best OKC jerseys. From some social media rumors, it looks like the font and design remain the same, but in a different color than teal. It looks like the NBA champion will bring it back —with some slight tweaks — for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren to wear in the 2025-26 season. We'll see when the NBA announces the City Edition uniforms for next season. It's one of the bigger news items of August. Everybody is also waiting for the 2025-26 regular season schedule, which should happen sometime this month.

Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe reveals he already has a rival in the NBA
Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe is looking to make an impact in the league as the No. 3 overall pick in the draft. He is joining a Sixers team looking to up the tempo in the 2025-26 season led by the handful of younger guards on the roster. As Edgecombe prepares to enter the NBA, he will be joining a Sixers team that does have championship expectations as long as Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey are healthy. Edgecombe can make an impact on this roster with his athleticism, high basketball IQ, and ability to make big plays on the defensive end. He showed a glimpse of that in the summer league. With that being said, it appears Edgecombe already has a rival in the form of Indiana Pacers forward Bennedict Mathurin as he stated on "Podcast P with Paul George": I was at Euro camp, I won MVP. After all that, Bennedict Mathuring gonna come up to me talking about when you get to league I'm gonna bust ya ass. I'm like alright bro…He didn't even say what's up. He's like yeah I'm a bust ya ass. I'm like damn, where the love at? Edgecombe will look to make an impact in the NBA right away. While he may not start just yet under coach Nick Nurse, he will certainly get a look in the rotation as he brings a lot of skills the Sixers need at this point in time.
