The Philadelphia 76ers were able to pick up their first win of the season on Sunday night. With Joel Embiid and Paul George both working their way into playing shape, Tyrese Maxey went for 45 points as the team picked up a 118-114 overtime win over the Indiana Pacers to move to 1-2 at this early point in the NBA calendar.

Despite the fact that Embiid watched the game from the sideline, the league announced on Monday evening that he was assessed a postgame technical foul towards the end of the game. It’s for one of the sillier things that can lead to you getting called for a tech, as Embiid stood in the corner and waved a towel around while Pacers guard Andrew Nembard attempted to shoot a free throw with 16 seconds left in the game, which he missed.

Whether or not Nembhard missed because Embiid was over in the corner waving a towel is unclear — he did end up making his second attempt from the charity stripe. Ultimately, this will go down as a pretty silly thing that happens in the early portion of the season, in large part because Embiid managed to pick up a technical foul before he was able to step on the floor this season.

The WNBA is headed into a really important next year-plus, as the 2025 season will be the last one under the current CBA after the WNBPA triggered their opt-out clause. With the league growing both literally (the Golden State Valkyries join in 2025, Toronto and Portland join in 2026) and figuratively (2024 broke ratings records), there is increased pressure on teams to capitalize on this moment and build a winner.

That has led to a rather wild first few weeks of the offseason in which seven of the league’s 13 teams (including the Valkyries) are without a head coach. The Sparks started things off by firing Curt Miller after two seasons, followed by the Sky firing Teresa Weatherspoon (to the dismay of Angel Reese), the Dream fired Tanisha Wright, the Wings fired Latricia Trammell, the Mystics fired Eric Thibault (and GM Mike Thibault), the Fever fired Christie Sides, and, most recently, the Sun “parted ways” with Stephanie White. All of that is to say, more than half of the league is without a head coach in one of the craziest coaching carousels in any sport in recent memory.

What makes this cycle all the more incredible is that the only hire so far this offseason has been by the Valkyries, who hired Natalie Nakase as the team’s first head coach. Usually when you get an extremely volatile coaching carousel it’s because a couple active coaches get poached by another team, setting off a domino effect. However, none of the vacancies in the WNBA are because another team hired someone away, it’s just mass turnover — although, there’s been speculation White could be leaving Connecticut for Indiana.

In any case, benches around the WNBA will look awfully different next year, and we might have a lot of new blood entering the WNBA head coaching ranks.

With Howard University celebrating its 100th Homecoming celebration in 2024, Director of Bands Chancellor Mills was searching for the perfect opportunity to impact the program in his first year on the job.

If Bruce Springsteen was born to run (and tour forever), then Jeremy Allen was born to play Bruce Springsteen. 20th Century Studios has released the first image from Deliver Me From Nowhere, which stars The Bear actor as The Boss during the making of his hauntingly sparse 1982 album, Nebraska.

You can see the photo below.

“Beginning production on this film is an incredibly humbling and thrilling journey,” Cooper said in a statement. “Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska has profoundly shaped my artistic vision. The album’s raw, unvarnished portrayal of life’s trials and resilience resonates deeply with me. Our film aims to capture that same spirit, bringing Warren Zanes’ compelling narrative of Bruce’s life to the screen with authenticity and hope, honoring Bruce’s legacy in a transformative cinematic experience. It has been a great pleasure to collaborate with Bruce and Jon [Landau] as I tell their story, and their creative energy fuels every part of this journey.”

Deliver Me From Nowhere also stars Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Odessa Young as Faye, a formative love interest in Springsteen’s life; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father; and Johnny Cannizzaro as E Street Band member Stevie Van Zandt. A release date has not been announced yet.
