Detroit Red Wings legend and Hockey Hall of Famer Alex Delvecchio dies at 93
DETROIT — Alex Delvecchio, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame who helped the Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup three times in the 1950s, has died. He was 93. Delvecchio died at his home in Rochester, Michigan, according to a Red Wings spokesperson. A cause of death was not immediately available, though his family said in a statement released by the team that Delvecchio died peacefully Tuesday surrounded by loved ones. 'Alex was more than a hockey icon. He was a devoted husband, loving father, great grandfather, cherished friend and respected teammate to so many,' the family said. 'While the world knew him as an incredible hockey player with numerous accomplishments on the ice, we knew him as someone whose humility, strength, competitiveness, kindness and heart were even greater than his knew achievements.' Delvecchio spent his entire NHL career with the Red Wings from 1951-73, recording 1,325 points in 1,671 regular-season and playoff games. Playing alongside 'Mr. Hockey' Gordie Howe, he was part of championship teams in 1952, '54 and '55, won the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct three times and was a two-time All-Star. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977, Delvecchio decades later was named one of the 100 greatest players in league history. During the '70s he had multiple stints as Detroit's general manager, head coach or both. Delvecchio remains third in franchise history in games played behind Howe and Nicklas Lidstrom. His No. 10 hangs from the rafters as one of the storied organization's retired numbers. 'Few athletes in any sport ever have been as synonymous with one franchise as Alex Delvecchio was with the Detroit Red Wings,' NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. 'Delvecchio's work as the center on the famed 'Production Line' with wingers Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay was pivotal to the Wings' title runs in 1952, 1954 and 1955, and he served as team captain for 12 years. The National Hockey League mourns the passing of this true legend of the game.'

LeBron James And Austin Reaves Reportedly Don't Like Playing With Luka Doncic
LeBron James And Austin Reaves Reportedly Don't Like Playing With Luka Doncic originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Luka Doncic has gelled well on the court with LeBron James and Austin Reaves during their short time as teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers, but NBA insider John Gambadoro claims all is not well. On the latest episode of the Burns and Gambo Show, Gambadoro stated that James and Reaves do not like playing with Doncic. "LeBron does not like playing with Luka," Gambadoro said. "Reaves does not like playing with Luka. Reaves does not like getting the ball with two seconds left on the shot clock. LeBron is not fond of playing with Luka. The Lakers are going to turn their attention to build around Luka, not LeBron. "So, this is Luka's team now," Gambadoro added. "... He'll probably come back, but I wouldn't say it's a guaranteed no-brainer LeBron comes back to the Lakers because there are guys that don't like playing with Luka." Gambadoro also wondered if James is struggling to handle the fact that a teammate of his is now the top dog for the first time in his career. All of this is quite interesting considering we haven't heard anything prior to this about any sort of discontent between them. James has spoken glowingly of Doncic's game and has never really thrown shade at his teammate at any point. The 40-year-old has done that to others in the past, but not to him. As for Reaves, a deeper look at his numbers suggests he should have liked playing with Doncic. In the games he played without the Slovenian this past season, he averaged 19.8 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game while shooting 45% from the field and 36.2% from beyond the arc. When Doncic was playing alongside him, Reaves averaged 21.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He was more efficient, too, shooting 47.9% from the field and 40.2% from beyond the arc. There were some concerns that Doncic's arrival might hurt Reaves on offense, but that hasn't been the case. The five-time All-Star has instead made life easier on the court for Reaves, as evidenced by those numbers. The only problem when it comes to these two playing together is that they're both not great defenders. The Minnesota Timberwolves repeatedly hunted them in the first round of the playoffs, and that contributed to the Lakers getting eliminated in five games. Reaves, however, dismissed those defensive concerns regarding himself and Doncic. He thinks the two of them, along with James, will create chaos next season. It's unclear if these three will be playing together in 2025-26, though. At first, there was talk about Reaves being traded this offseason as he could potentially hit free agency in 2026. It is expected that he will ask for a deal worth nearly $30 million per year, and that would be a significant financial commitment. That trade talk has died down a bit now, though, and James is now the one potentially headed to the exit door. NBA insider Shams Charania stated that he could leave the Lakers if he doesn't think they can compete for a title. Doncic looks to be the only one guaranteed to be with the Lakers long-term. The 26-year-old is widely expected to sign an extension in August, and the Lakers are making all their moves now with him in story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.

Annie Karich of Boston Legacy FC poses at View Boston as she signs to join the club in Boston, MA on ... More June 23, 2025. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Bolt Creative Group After recently hiring their first head coach, Boston Legacy FC has made moves in signing their first ever player, midfielder Annie Karich. Karich is currently on loan to a Liga MX Femenil club for the remainder of 2025 and will join Boston for NWSL preseason in January. The American midfielder signed a contract through the end of the 2027 season, with an option to renew for the 2028 NWSL season. 'We're very excited to welcome Annie Karich to Boston,' said general manager Domè Guasch. 'Annie is a midfielder that brings a unique blend of technical quality and tactical awareness. In her time at SC Freiburg, she has also proved her competitiveness and maturity on the field. Annie has the potential to make a real impact in our team. We're looking forward to supporting her development within our environment.' Karich's Player Impact Karich signed her first professional contract in 2023 with Frauen-Bundesliga club SC Freiburg as a free agent. She played as a defensive midfielder for two seasons and made 36 appearances. During her time at Santa Clara, Karich was named the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 and was named to the First Team All-WCC and First Team All-West Region. 'I want to grow by developing my overall game as a player and by learning how to adapt again into a new city, new team, and everything, and I'm really excited to do that here in Boston,' said Karich. Free Agency Opens New Doors for Boston Legacy's Growth As the 15th franchise in the NWSL, the expansion side is building a key foundation as they are set to begin play in the 2026 NWSL season. The club announced the hiring of Filipa Patão as their first head coach. Now with the first piece of their roster set in motion, the club will continue to grow their momentum both on and off the field in their new chapter of reigniting soccer back to the city of Boston. With the Portuguese powerhouse of Patão at the helm, the club will continue building out its 22-player roster with an option of having a maximum of seven international roster spots. Alongside Boston, Denver is also building out their squad. During the one-month international break, the NWSL has announced a list of players eligible for the league's 2026 free agency period with over 100 players on the list. With the free agency window officially being open, teams are able to negotiate contract terms with any free agent. However, if a player does not receive a new offer, they then remain a free agent with their rights unassigned in the NWSL. Now with free agency on the table, both Boston and Denver now have access to more options for negotiations with free agents in the NWSL. The full list of free agents can be found here.
