VanVleet recently signed a two-year, $50 million contract to stay in Houston. The veteran guard won an NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors in 2019 and was named an All-Star in 2022. He also set records for the highest-paid contract for an undrafted player.
McCollum, who was recently traded to the Washington Wizards, saw his term expire. He had served as NBPA president since August 2021. In 2023, McCollum led the players' association in negotiations to complete a seven-year collective bargaining agreement.
He's expected to stay involved in the NBPA, moving into an advisory role.

HoopsHype ranks Sixers star Joel Embiid in top 79 players of all time
The Philadelphia 76ers will go as far as Joel Embiid takes them as far as their championship hopes are concerned. The big fella has dealt with injuries throughout his career, but when he's right and healthy, everybody knows how dominant he is as a basketball player. Embiid, the No. 3 pick of the 2014 NBA draft, has career averages of 27.7 points and 11.0 rebounds and has led the league in scoring twice. He won the MVP award in 2023 when he averaged 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists and was on his way to winning the award again in 2024 before suffering a knee injury in January of that season. HoopsHype put together a list of the top 79 players in the history of the NBA and Embiid came in ranked No. 77 on the list: When ready to go, he's one of the most unstoppable big men ever thanks to his massive frame, mobility and deep bag. The problem with him is that he doesn't play that many minutes considering he misses a lot of time due to health reasons regularly. Plus his track record in the playoffs is spotty as well. If he manages to stay in shape and healthy and gets the Sixers to make deep runs in the postseason, he could move up in this ranking. We're not holding our breath, though. Not with his age and the way he looked last year. After undergoing knee surgery in April, Embiid is hopeful that he can come back and be the same dominant player he once was. The big question marks are the fact that he is on the wrong side of 30 now and he has undergone two surgeries on that left knee in a span of 14 months. It's tough to see him really becoming the player he once was in the near future.

Noah Lyles shoved by Kenny Bednarek after winning 200 meters at U.S. nationals
Noah Lyles landed the day's biggest blow on the track, passing Kenny Bednarek for the win, then looking his way to talk some trash. Bednarek's answer was a two-handed shove in the back after the finish line, some more heated words and a challenge for a rematch that can't come soon enough. Video captured the tense moments after the race. U.S. track championships turned physical Sunday, with Lyles and Bednarek getting involved in a shoving and shouting match as they crossed the finish line of a hotly contested 200-meter final at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. "Like I've said before, Noah's going be Noah," Bednarek said. "If he wants to stare me down, that's fine." Lyles reeled in Bednarek and crossed in 19.63 seconds for a .04-second victory that sets up a rematch at world championships, on Sept. 19 in Tokyo. The best action in Round 1 came after the finish line. There was jawing, the shove and, then, Lyles turning around, backpedaling, reaching his arms out and bouncing up and down like a boxer before lobbing a few more choice words at Bednarek. Their argument bled into the start of what is normally a celebratory NBC winner's interview. "I tell ya, if you've got a problem, I expect a call," Bednarek said, as the network's Lewis Johnson moved the mic between the runners. Lyles replied: "You know what, you're right. You're right. Let's talk after this." Though they shook hands during that tense post-race, Bednarek was fired up well after the sprinters had left the track. "The summary is, don't do that to me," he said. "I don't do any of that stuff. It's not good character right there. That's pretty much it. At the end of the day, he won the race. I've got to give him props. He was the better man today." The win itself was no big surprise for Lyles, the three-time defending world champion who will have to get past Bednarek to make it four in Tokyo. Bednarek was asked what Lyles said as he turned around and gloated after securing his fifth national title at his favorite distance. "What he said didn't matter, it's just what he did," Bednarek said. "Unsportsmanlike (expletive) and I don't deal with that. It's a respect factor. He's fresh. Last time we lined it up, I beat him, that's all I can say. Next time we line up, I'm going to win. That's all that matters." Asked to expand on his role in the tiff, Lyles was less forthcoming: "On coach's orders, no comment." As CBS Sports' Robby Kalland notes, the interaction was not a surprise given Lyles' reputation. "It's not a shocking interaction given Lyles' history of riling up opponents and even athletes in other sports beyond track and field," Kalland writes. "In this case, he had the performance to back up his talk and this will only serve to spice up their next meeting on the track." As is common in a year after the Olympics - and in an era after Usain Bolt - track is a sport desperately in need of some energy. Who else to provide it than Lyles, the sport's most engaging character this side of Sha'Carri Richardson, who was arrested Sunday for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend. Up to now, track media and the runners themselves have tried to generate rivalries between Lyles and Erriyon Knighton (fizzled), or Lyles and Letsile Tebogo (beat him in the Olympics last year) or, of course, between Lyles and NFL receiver Tyreek Hill ( In June, Lyles called off a race between himself and Hill after months of trash talk between the two sports stars.). Turns out, they probably should have looked at the lane next to him. Bednarek has won silver and beaten Lyles the last two times they've lined up in the 200 at the Olympics, even though Lyles has had issues at both - in Tokyo with his mental health, then in Paris with COVID. Bednarek referenced some long-simmering issues between the two. "Just some personal stuff we've got to handle," he said. But when asked for something, anything, about this burgeoning rivalry, Lyles demurred, instead focusing on what a difficult year this has been for him after an injury in April kept him out of spikes until June. "If they ain't gonna beat me now, they ain't gonna beat me ever," Lyles said. Bednarek isn't so sure of that. The 200 final was Bednarek's fifth race of the week, counting the three heats of the 100 meters, where he won the final Friday. Lyles, who has an automatic spot at worlds in that event as the defending champion, only ran one heat of the 100. "We'll go fresh and we'll see what happens," Bednarek said. "Because I'm very confident I can beat him. That's all I can say." Last year, Lyles won gold in the men's 100-meter sprint at the 2024 Paris Olympics in a finish so close even the announcers didn't know who won the race. After the official times came in, Lyles was determined to have crossed the finish line just a hair ahead of Jamaica's Kishane Thompson, with the men posting respective times of 9.784 and 9.789 seconds.

Recapping Day 10 of Chicago Bears training camp
The Chicago Bears were out at Soldier Field on Sunday for their annual Family Fest, where there were plenty of headlines and standouts from the 10th practice of training camp. The defense dominated the day in what head coach Ben Johnson described as closer to a preseason game. The offense was sloppy with pre-snap penalties that continue to linger, but they did end practice on a strong note during a two-minute drill where quarterback Caleb Williams connected with rookie tight end Colston Loveland for a 7-yard touchdown. There's still plenty to improve upon with the Week 1 opener just over a month away. Let's recap Day 10 of Bears training camp: What we learned The Bears defense dominated the offense during Family Fest, where all facets of the defense impressed. Whether it was the pass rush -- with Montez Sweat and Gervon Dexter making plays -- or the secondary bringing the heat and nearly coming away with interceptions -- including from Tyrique Stevenson -- Dennis Allen had his defense firing on all cylinders. The defense dominated from the jump, where Greg Braggsnoted they "blew up three plays in a row" to start team periods. They were really bringing the pressure on quarterback Caleb Williams, and it got there -- which nearly forced an interception that Rome Odunze smartly knocked away. Larry Mayer noted that the defense was "excelling" during 11-on-11, which included "would-have-been sacks" by defensive end Austin Booker and cornerback Kyler Gordon off the blitz. One of the biggest plays came when defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. stuffed running back D'Andre Swift on the 1-yard line, per Zack Pearson, and got the safety. Afterward, Williams went to talk to Ben Johnson about the play. The offense has certainly improved from the start of training camp, but there's one lingering issue that remains on Day 10 -- pre-snap penalties that contributed to a sloppy outing at Family Fest. During the first team period, quarterback Caleb Williams had two delay of game penalties that set the tone for a sloppy practice. Later in practice, Williams was called for a third delay of game, and it's a trend that's been consistent throughout training camp so far -- be it penalties or botched snaps. Following Sunday's practice, head coach Ben Johnson said the offense's pre-snap operation is "sloppier than we would've hoped for at this point." It's something that needs to be addressed, and Johnson noted "it showed up more today than it has in practice." While tight end Cole Kmet noted there was "a little nervous energy out there," Johnson was clear that if they don't pick it up, "we don't win many games." Sunday's practice provided an opportunity for head coach/offensive play caller Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to show off. According to Zack Pearson, Allen was "dialing up different looks" during Family Fest. 79th & Halas Podcast noted Allen is "gonna create some interesting looks for defenses, stunts and switches around with some solid discipline from the defense" this season. With the defense dominating most of the day, Johnson cooked up some misdirection and trickery later in practice that resulted in some touchdowns. According to 79th & Halas, Johnson orchestrated a misdirection touchdown from Caleb Williams to Cole Kmet that "completely fooled the defense." But Johnson didn't limit it to the starters as Tyson Bagent fooled the defense on a play-action fake, according to Brad Biggs, where "he sucked in about seven or eight defenders" for an easy throw-and-catch touchdown to tight end Durham Smythe. It's certainly a hint of what we can expect from both play callers this season. The deadline continues to loom for the starting left tackle job between Braxton Jones, rookie Ozzy Trapilo and Kiran Amegadjie. With Amegadjie sidelined by injury, Jones and Trapilo appear to be in a two-man race for the job, although it sounds like the rookie might be in the driver's seat. Trapilo was with the starting offensive line during install for the second straight practice, which is certainly notable. Although, the rotation continued with Jones getting his turn with the starters later in practice. The competition wages on, but with the first preseason game looming, it'll be notable to see who gets the starting nod during Friday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins and that first preseason game, assuming the starters just a series or two. The Bears starting offense struggled most of the day against the defense, but tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet had two of the biggest highlights during Family Fest. With the defense dominating, Ben Johnson cooked up some misdirection that found Kmet wide open for a touchdown from Caleb Williams. The offense ended things on a high note during the two-minute drill, where Williams connected with Loveland for a 7-yard touchdown to cap a 49-yard drive in an end-of-game scenario trailing by three points, according to Brad Biggs. Loveland ran an impressive route to get open for the score, freezing safety Jaquan Brisker. Watching Kmet and Loveland find success in this passing game, it'll be exciting to see how Ben Johnson utilizes both with their unique skillsets. Rookie running back Kyle Monangai has been making plays during training camp, and he continued to showcase his potential in this running back room with a solid outing during Family Fest. Monangai had three touchdowns on the day, including with the first-team offense during a drive where Michal Nwojak noted "Monangai was involved a lot." While Monangai did go the wrong way on a handoff from Caleb Williams -- which Johnson joked put him out of his good graces -- the Bears head coach is "very please with where he's at" and believes he's someone "we're gonna be able to trust this fall." Standouts QB Tyson Bagent: The Bears' starting offense was lacking for much of the day, but the reserves had a few big plays led by quarterback Tyson Bagent. The third-year backup threw a couple of touchdowns while working with the backups, including a long strike to wide receiver JP Richardson. Bagent found Richardson in the middle of the field with tight coverage for about 20 yards, and the rookie took the ball another 30 yards for the score. Bagent had another touchdown, this time to tight end Durham Smythe, as he fooled almost the entire defense with play action, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Bagent has had a nice camp up to this point and should see plenty of time during next weekend's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. TE Colston Loveland: Colston Loveland is becoming a mainstay in this series, but for good reason. The rookie tight end continues to flash when given opportunities, and he did it again in front of 27,000 fans at Soldier Field. Near the end of practice, the Bears were lined up just outside the end zone. Loveland ran up five yards and put safety Jaquan Brisker on skates with an impressive move to cut inside, where Williams placed a perfect ball for the touchdown. It's a route many tight ends aren't able to pull off as smoothly as Loveland did, let alone other rookies. It's another example of how dangerous he can be and what the Bears are getting with their first-round pick. TE Cole Kmet: While Loveland has been showing out over the last week, don't forget about Cole Kmet and what he brings to the table. Kmet had a score of his own, coming off a nifty design from Johnson. Williams and the offense executed play action off a jet sweep, which fooled the entire defense. Kmet ran an underneath route and connected with Williams with ease as rookie running back Kyle Monangai was set up as a lead blocker. The play worked to perfection as Kmet went into the end zone untouched for about 25 yards and finished with his signature home run celebration. Kmet is excellent as an underneath tight end and will still get plenty of looks in this offense despite Loveland's presence. DT Gervon Dexter Sr.: The entire starting defensive line stood out on Sunday, as noted by CHSN's Alex Shapiro. However, only one player caused a safety. Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter made arguably the defensive play of the day when he swallowed up running back D'Andre Swift in the end zone. The offense was pinned deep in their own end zone, and Dexter blew past center Drew Dalman to stop Swift in his tracks. It may have been a poorly executed play by the offense, but give Dexter credit for making one of the biggest defensive plays of the day. K Cairo Santos: Unless there is a true kicking competition taking place at training camp, kickers are often ignored during practices. But veteran Cairo Santos deserves praise for how he performed at Soldier Field on Sunday, a place that we all know is not easy to kick in. Santos drilled all five of his field goal attempts, according to Bears reporter Larry Mayer. His longest make was from 53 yards, which is one yard shy of his longest field goal from the 2024 season. While Santos does have competition with rookie Jonathan Kim, it would be a surprise to see him cut from the team. For what it's worth, Kim converted three of four field goals. Injury updates As far as attendance goes, right guard Jonah Jackson (leg) and long snapper Scott Daly (back) were back at practice on Sunday. The Bears were still without offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie (leg), offensive guard Bill Murray (right ankle) and center Ricky Stromberg (concussion). Following Sunday's practice, then team announced that running back Deion Hankins is in concussion protocol while wide receiver Miles Boykin (ankle) and tight end Jordan Murray (groin) were also held out of practice. Highlights Press conferences What's next The Bears are back on the practice field on Monday at Halas Hall for a closed practice at 10:10 a.m. CT. Following back-to-back padded practices, the expectation is this will be a non-padded workout to kick off preseason week.
