Dwight Howard says beloved dog died in hit-and-run accident. ‘Who could be so heartless'
Dwight Howard is devastated. And he wants answers. The former NBA great and current player for the Big 3's L.A. Riot on Wednesday wrote on Instagram that his dog, Sunday, died in an apparent hit-and-run accident on June 18 in Suwanee, Ga. Howard said that he was visiting New York when he received the tragic news that his beloved Belgian Malinois 'got loose and was hit by a car that kept going.' 'I'm devastated because you were the dog that never left my side, the dog that stuck to my hip at all times, and the one time you wander off without me being there someone takes you away from me,' Howard wrote. 'Who could be so heartless to do this to such an innocent girl with no remorse 'I've been trying to hold this in… I really have but it's killing me inside to get answers! I need answers and I won't stop searching until I find out what happen to my beautiful Sunday.' Howard implored his 3.7 million followers to share any information they might have about the alleged incident. The majority of his post, however, was a tribute in words, photos and videos to a dear pooch who sounds like she was one man's best friend. 'From the moment I got you, Sunday, you were more than just my dog… You were my peace. My protector. A reminder of everything beautiful and calm just like those early Sunday mornings,' wrote Howard, a three-time defensive player of the year who won an NBA title with the Lakers in 2020 and is set to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this fall. 'You hugged like no other. Barked at nothing like it meant everything. And every time I called your name, you came running full speed like your only mission was to love me. You waited at the door for me every single day, just to wrap your paws around me. And I'm gonna miss those hugs more than I can put into words. 'You were joy. You were warmth. You were my girl. And your life was cut short too soon. You helped me Smile through all the Storms I've been through but what do I do now that my Sunday Sunshine is gone'

The Suns can't keep new ‘Big 3' together after Kevin Durant trade
The post The Suns can't keep new 'Big 3' together after Kevin Durant trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Kevin Durant era in the Valley of the Sun has come to a close, with the Phoenix Suns trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets on Sunday for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-round picks. Advertisement The return was impressive, considering Phoenix shot themselves in the foot earlier in the season with Durant. However, there poses an intriguing scenario for the franchise. Once again, the team has three stars, which could form another Big 3 of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Green. But keeping that Big 3 together could spell disaster for the Suns long-term. Would the Suns move on from Jalen Green or Bradley Beal? © Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images For some, the answer might seem obvious with the annexing of Beal. Still, he has proven to be an effective and efficient player with the Suns. The question with him has been the fit next to Booker, along with his health. Advertisement Over the past two seasons, he has missed 58 games. His health, combined with his age, is a cause for concern. Furthermore, his $50 million price tag and the looming no-trade clause make matters worse for Phoenix. Even with the uncertainty, one thing might be certain. According to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports, the Suns are reportedly hoping to move on from Beal. That no-trade clause and his salary present a tough circumstance. They could buy him out and try to negotiate a price for him to hit the open market. Or, Phoenix could try to trade Beal to a team that would be interested, with one option being his old team, the Washington Wizards. Again, his production decline, mixed with health issues, and the $50 million label aren't attracting many teams to the former No. 3 overall pick. Advertisement Meanwhile, some thought that the Suns would trade Green, but that rumor has been shot down. Despite questions about his shot IQ and profile, he has the tools, athleticism, youth, and swagger the franchise has missed. However, pairing Green and Beal next to Booker would create more redundancy than the team already had with Durant and the two current Suns guards. Keeping Bradley Beal would hurt the Suns Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images It's not just the contract that's making things difficult for the Suns; it could be Beal himself. He's expressed how his family enjoys living in Phoenix, and with his no-trade clause, he truly controls his own destiny, even if it comes at the expense of the franchise. Advertisement The Mat Ishbia era turned into two seasons of utter disappointment, as fans were left bamboozled at the lack of success. There was a common denominator, though, and it unfortunately has been Beal. The Suns' record with Durant and Booker on the floor was 78-47. The problem never seemed to be Durant. Meanwhile, Booker's record playing alongside Beal was 50-43. That dynamic never seemed to click and adding Green to that duo could only make things even tougher. Beal might just be the odd man out. Money could be an issue for the Suns if all 3 players stay Roughly $140 million would be tied between Green, Booker, and Beal. That leaves them with minimal room to sign quality players or re-sign current players. Advertisement Guys like Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen are nice players, but the team needs to add more. With the majority of the salary potentially being tied to three guards, adding the right pieces is even more of a challenge. That's another reason why Beal could be on his way out of the Valley. Green's contract is just over $30 million, and Booker's is still at roughly $50 million. Getting off Beal's contract would do wonders for the Suns in terms of signing free agents, and even getting out of the tax apron. At the end of the day, if the three guards join forces for the 2025-26 season, it could be deja vú of the season prior. As a result, Beal could be the first domino to fall for the roster. If not, Phoenix will likely endure another grueling season of failed expectations, more discontent, and a disarray of who is the top option on the roster.

The Big3 told DeMita's team that she was caught tweeting about another league while performing services for their league. The Big3 said that she should have only been promoting league games while working as a sideline reporter. "This is true. I did send out three tweets about the Indiana Fever vs. New York Liberty game during The Big3 broadcast." DeMita said that she didn't want to make any excuses, adding that she will 'take [the firing] on the chin.' Advertisement The former college basketball player said that she was bummed by the abrupt firing. DeMita said that she didn't believe her tweets about Clark and the WNBA would do any damage to The Big3. "I feel like something like this could've been easily nipped in the bud," she said. "From my side, I know of nothing else as to why I was their side, I'm not sure."

Big3 parts ways with influencer who posted Caitlin Clark highlights during in-game action
The post Big3 parts ways with influencer who posted Caitlin Clark highlights during in-game action appeared first on ClutchPoints. Anyone and everyone who saw Caitlin Clark make her return to the floor following a two-week hiatus could tell she hadn't skipped a beat. Last Saturday, Clark was hitting shot after shot and finished with 32 points and the Indiana Fever defeated the New York Liberty 102-88. Advertisement One of those admirers soaking it in was basketball influencer Rachel DeMita, an analyst for Ice Cube's Big3 League. Coincidentally, the Fever/Liberty game aired on ABC at the same time a Big3 game in Chicago aired on CBS. DeMita took to X to express her excitement at Clark's return. 'for those who questioned the hype.' she posted. However, DeMita was terminated from her role at Big3 due to that post on Friday, per Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports. A Big3 spokesperson didn't respond to comment to Front Office Sports. Nor did DeMita or her agent offer a comment at this time. DeMita has developed a strong social media following for her basketball analysis and commentary. Advertisement She has 278,000 followers on X, 1 million on Instagram, 452,000 on TikTok, and 362,000 YouTube subscribers. The connection between Caitlin Clark and the Big3 Since Clark emerged as a generational talent, the Big3 attempted to attach their brand to her name. In March 2024, Ice Cube offered Clark a $5 million contract to play in the Big3. Ultimately, Clark was the No.1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and was drafted by the Fever to much fanfare. Along the way, Clark went onto win the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. The Big3 is largely comprised of former NBA players playing in a 3 on 3 format. They play half court games in eight cities (Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Washington D.C., Houston, Los Angeles, and Miami). Advertisement Not necessarily conducive to a player of Clark's caliber. She likes to push the tempo, run the floor, and shoot her trademark logo three pointers.
