Are the Boston Celtics considering a trade with the San Antonio Spurs for the No. 2 pick?
Are the Boston Celtics considering making a trade with the San Antonio Spurs for the No. 2 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft? Such a trade would need to have only one player on the Celtics' roster going out for the Spurs to even consider making such a deal, and that player is star Boston forward Jaylen Brown.
Would it make sense for Boston to move off of Brown, given how important he has been as a tandem with star swingman Jayson Tatum? The collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s brutal second apron penalties may make this a moot point if the front office thinks it cannot win a title as currently constructed, leaving only one other question to be answered: do the Spurs think THEY can win a title by bringing in the Georgia native?
The folks behind the "New England Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" show featuring NCAA basketball analyst John Fanta as a guest to talk it all over. Check it out below!

Two Key Red Sox Hitters Will Face Massive Pressure Upon Returning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox are in desperate need of professional hitters in a new-look lineup. Boston traded away franchise star Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in a shocking move earlier this month that ruled headlines around baseball. Among the several consequences of the deal marked a significantly weaker lineup for the Red Sox. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 21: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox warms up before a game against the New York Mets at Fenway Park on May 21, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 21: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox warms up before a game against the New York Mets at Fenway Park on May 21, 2025 in Boston, easily slugged as the most talented bat in a youthful lineup that needed proven productions. Between the trade and other injuries, the Red Sox are now without the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 hitters from their Opening Day lineup. Alex Bregman and Triston Casas remain out with injuries, though the former will return this season for Boston, right after the All-Star break. Bregman put together an outstanding start to the season in his best offensive run since the 2019 season. The Devers trade also opened up the designated hitter spot for the Red Sox. That finally opens a spot for Masataka Yoshida, who still has not played this season from setbacks following offseason shoulder injuries. Those are two really good hitters that can only help Boston. The offense struggled heavily on the West Coast trip after the trade and relies heavily on young players who are still trying to figure it out at the MLB level. The lineup looks a lot better with Bregman and Yoshida in a growing-desperate stretch to hop back into the playoff race. Here's a potential lineup for when the Red Sox get healthy: 1. Jarren Duran, LF 2. Abraham Toro, 1B 3. Alex Bregman, 3B 4. Carlos Narvaez, C 5. Masataka Yoshida, DH 6. Trevor Story, SS 7. Wilyer Abreu/Roman Anthony RF 8. Marcelo Mayer, 2B 9. Ceddanne Rafaela, CF The Red Sox, who have posted a top-10 OPS in baseball for seven consecutive seasons, need a major step forward from the offense collectively in July. Bregman and Yoshida can make a difference, but are those returns going to be enough to rescue Boston?

Red Sox's Cora says Yoshida set to start rehab assignment at Triple-A
BOSTON — The struggling Boston Red Sox could be getting some offensive help soon. Manager Alex Cora said Masataka Yoshida would start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. The 31-year-old DH/outfielder has been out the entire season following surgery on his right shoulder in October. 'He'll go on a rehab assignment. We'll see how many at-bats he needs,' Cora said Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. 'He's moving well, the swing feels great, the throwing has been a lot better. He's been able to bounce back, so we just have to map it out and see how we're going to do it.'
