Photo: Instagram/Zion Williamson A recent controversy surrounding NBA star Zion Williamson has emerged as porn star Moriah Mills claims to be pregnant and hints that Williamson may be the father. Williamson, a two-time NBA All-Star, is currently expecting a child with his girlfriend, Ahkeema . Mills, who previously alleged to have slept with Williamson, took to social media to suggest her pregnancy. Earlier this month, Mills made headlines when she threatened to release a sex tape involving Williamson and called for the New Orleans Pelicans to trade him. She expressed her frustration after Williamson's girlfriend announced their pregnancy.

Despite the allegations, Williamson has remained silent on the matter, choosing not to respond. Mills, however, continues to target the Pelicans player and recently shared a

Photo: Instagram/Trae Young Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young , who entered the NBA in 2018, is seen as the elder statesman among the trio of young stars that includes Zion Williamson and Ja Morant , who were drafted in 2019. Reflecting on the recent controversies surrounding Zion and Morant, Young attributes the rise of social media as a key factor behind the drama surrounding these talented players. He acknowledges that their generation grew up with social media, from their AAU days to the present, making it a unique experience in the NBA. Photo: Instagram/Trae Young While social media plays a role, Young also recognizes that both Zion Williamson and Ja Morant have contributed to the controversies surrounding them. Zion's NBA future has been repeatedly questioned due to his injury history, and he is currently facing serious allegations from an ex-girlfriend . On the other hand, Morant recently received a suspension for his involvement in a second gun incident on IG Live , whic

Photo: Instagram/Tyson Fury Tyson Fury 's upcoming fight, as announced by his promoter Frank Warren , is being touted as a "game-changer" and is set to be revealed soon. Speculation among fans on social media suggests that Fury might face either Francis Ngannou or Jon Jones , both prominent figures in MMA, in a hybrid boxing match aimed at attracting fans from both sports and maximizing revenue.  However, some view this fight as merely a money grab by Fury, taking advantage of his loyal supporters while still holding the WBC title. Photo: Instagram/Tyson Fury The World Boxing Council will face the decision of whether to strip Fury of his heavyweight title if he chooses to fight a non-boxer, as he cannot continue to hold the title without defending it against legitimate boxers. Fury's previous title defense against Dereck Chisora , an aging fighter on a downward trajectory, further added to the notion that he has been cherry-picking opponents. Many enthusiasts believe

Photo: Instagram/James Harden According to reports, James Harden has decided to exercise his contract option for next season with the Philadelphia 76ers , who are currently exploring trade possibilities for the veteran scorer. A source familiar with the situation revealed to The Associated Press that Harden informed the 76ers of his decision before the midnight deadline. The source spoke anonymously as the decision had not been made public yet. While the 33-year-old could have become a free agent by declining the option, the Sixers had the advantage of offering him a lucrative four-year, $210 million deal, surpassing any other team's offer by $8 million. Although there is no certainty regarding a trade, the anonymous source stated that Harden expressed a desire to win a championship, something he has yet to achieve in his career, either in Philadelphia or with another competitive team.

Photo: Instagram/Ja Morant   NBA star Ja Morant 's legal team has taken action in response to the civil suit brought against him by Josh Holloway, a teenage basketball player who claims Morant assaulted him. Morant's attorneys filed a motion on Monday seeking to dismiss the case, arguing that their client acted in self-defense. Citing Tennessee's self-defense laws, the motion states that Morant enjoys civil immunity under the Statute because Holloway intentionally struck him in the face with a basketball at Morant's family home last July. According to the motion, the punch thrown by Morant was solely aimed at protecting himself from further harm and was not forceful enough to knock Holloway down. In a countersuit filed in April , Morant's lawyers claimed that Holloway's actions were threatening and potentially career-ending.

Photo: Instagram/Victor Wembanyama Spurs' highly anticipated draft pick, Victor Wembanyama , has finally put an end to the speculation surrounding his true height. The official measurement, confirmed by the Spurs on Wednesday, reveals that the Frenchman stands at an impressive 7 feet, 3 1/2 inches tall without shoes. This measurement is slightly shorter than the figure previously listed by the NBA, but it surpasses the 7 feet, 3 1/4 inches he was measured at in October during his time playing exhibition games with Metropolitans 92 in Las Vegas. Photo: Instagram/Victor Wembanyama As the 2023-24 season approaches, Wembanyama will hold the distinction of being the league's second tallest player, trailing only behind the towering 7-foot-4-inch Clippers center, Boban Marjanović . The young rookie is set to make his debut in the Spurs' Summer League on July 7th, where he will face off against the Hornets, featuring the second overall pick, Brandon Miller . Joining the Spurs, Wemb

Photo: Instagram/Bruce Brown The Los Angeles Lakers , despite being swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals last season, are determined to make significant moves to bolster their roster. Their desire to reclaim the Larry O'Brien Trophy has led them to express a strong interest in acquiring Bruce Brown, according to reports (h/t Lakers Daily).  Following a series of midseason trades, the Lakers experienced a remarkable turnaround, boasting one of the best records in the league after the All-Star break. Photo: Instagram/Bruce Brown However, they recognize the need for a versatile 3-and-D wing player to further solidify their chances of winning it all once again. Bruce Brown, who played a crucial role in Denver's championship victory, has caught the attention of the Lakers' management.  The 26-year-old joined the Nuggets as a free agent last summer and has proven himself capable of playing both shooting guard and small forward positions. During the regula

Photo: Instagram/Kyrie Irving NBA superstar Kyrie Irving is set to enter free agency and has expressed his intention to meet with multiple teams, including the Dallas Mavericks.  While the Mavericks remain his top priority, Irving is exploring other options to find a long-term "home" for the rest of his NBA career. If he re-signs with the Mavs, he would be eligible for a lucrative five-year deal worth $272.9 million, whereas signing with another team would limit his contract to a four-year deal worth $201.7 million.  During the 2022-23 season, Irving showcased his skills, averaging 27.1 points, 5.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds in 60 games. He joined the Mavericks midway through the season in a trade that involved players such as Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie , as well as future draft picks.  Photo: Instagram/Kyrie Irving However, despite his individual performance, the team struggled with an 8-12 record in the games he played.

Photo: Instagram/Zion Williamson Zion Williamson , the talented player for the New Orleans Pelicans , has had a challenging past few months. Dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, he was unable to contribute to his team during the play-in tournament. On top of that, trade rumors circulated, suggesting a potential move away from the Pelicans. Adding to the turmoil, there were even allegations of a love triangle involving his ex-girlfriend . It's safe to say that Williamson has experienced quite an eventful period recently. However, a recent video of Zion has emerged, creating a buzz on social media. In the clip , an evidently healthy Williamson executed an incredible 360 dunk that sent the entire gym into a frenzy. Photo: Instagram/Zion Williamson The video reportedly captured a moment at Audubon Elementary School in Kenner, Louisiana, just minutes away from downtown New Orleans. Williamson attended the event as a special guest and made sure to entertain the enthusiastic crowd.

Photo: Instagram/Andy Ruiz Jr. Andy Ruiz Jr 's demand for a 50-50 deal with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has priced him out of their potential summer fight. This marks the second major bout that has slipped away from the former IBF, WBA, and WBO heavyweight champion, as he previously failed to reach an agreement with WBC champion Tyson Fury , demanding a reported $20 million, which was ultimately refused. It seems that Ruiz is unwilling to accept the reality that he is no longer a heavyweight champion and that his career has suffered due to his inactivity. Since 2019, he has only fought twice in the span of four years. Photo: Instagram/Andy Ruiz Jr. Consequently, he cannot assert himself on the same level as popular fighters like Wilder and Fury, as he is merely reminiscent of a one-hit wonder, akin to Buster Douglas.  For those unfamiliar with Buster Douglas , he famously upset Mike Tyson , the then IBF/WBA/WBC heavyweight champion, in February 1990, but subseq

Photo: Instagram/Stephen Curry Steph Curry , the renowned superstar of the Golden State Warriors , has opened up about the shocking trade that saw Jordan Poole being sent to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Chris Paul on draft day. Although Curry acknowledges that surprises are an inherent part of the game, bidding farewell to a young and promising player like Poole can be emotionally challenging, especially when a seasoned veteran like Paul is the return in the trade.  Curry recently spoke to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, stating, "The business is crazy. We all know that. If you asked us six months ago if this was something that could happen, the answer probably would’ve been no just based on where we were.  Photo: Instagram/Stephen Curry Then you get to the summer and are trying to find ways to get better and put yourself in position to chase another championship." Curry recognizes the consistent impact that Paul has on every team he joins, disregarding the discu

Photo: Instagram/Jalen Hood-Schifino The Los Angeles Lakers made a surprising move in the 2023 NBA Draft by selecting Jalen Hood-Schifino , a combo guard from Indiana University, with the 17th pick. Given the team's already guard-heavy roster, some were taken aback by this decision. However, reports indicate that the Lakers have expressed interest in retaining both Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell , who are currently free agents, along with Dennis Schroder . League sources reveal that the Lakers had their sights set on Hood-Schifino and Kobe Bufkin as their top targets in the draft. Unfortunately, the Atlanta Hawks nabbed Bufkin with the 15th overall pick, just two selections before the Lakers' turn. The team viewed both guards as potential replacements for Reaves, in case his restricted free agency demands a contract that the Lakers are unable to match.

Photo: Instagram/John Collins Multiple reports indicate that the Atlanta Hawks have made a trade, sending forward/center John Collins to the Utah Jazz in exchange for swingman Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick. The deal is expected to be finalized no earlier than July 6. This move marks another active offseason for the Utah Jazz, who made significant trades in the previous summer as well. Last season, the Jazz made headlines by trading All-Star center Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves and guard Donovan Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In return, they acquired Lauri Markkanen from the Cavs, who blossomed into an All-Star player in the following season. John Collins, entering his seventh NBA season, had a solid performance with the Hawks, averaging 13.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game in 30 minutes of playtime.

Photo: Instagram/Ronda Rousey Ronda Rousey , the trailblazer of women's MMA, has been absent from the sport for nearly seven years. However, with the recent retirement of Amanda Nunes and the void it created in the women's bantamweight division, discussions about Rousey's potential return to the UFC have emerged. According to UFC commentator Jon Anik , the timing couldn't be better for her comeback. In an interview with MMA Fighting , Anik expressed his belief that now would be the ideal moment for Ronda Rousey to make her UFC return, especially considering Endeavor's recent acquisition of WWE, where she is currently signed. Anik suggested that if anyone deserves such an opportunity, it is Rousey, but emphasized that she would only reenter the Octagon if she felt confident in her ability to compete. While Anik acknowledged the excitement surrounding Rousey's possible return, he also expressed reservations about her receiving an instant title shot. Photo: Instag

Taking a moment with his former Celtics teammate, Tony Allen , the two engaged in a conversation revolving around Ja Morant . The young Grizzlies sensation is facing a 25-game suspension at the onset of the 2023-24 season due to his second offense of displaying a handgun on Instagram Live .
