Pardon My Take broke the news that the Sixers' first pick would be injured before the draft even happened
I think we reported this news first. We broke this news the day before the NBA draft saying that the Philadelphia 76ers' first pick was going to be injured at some point this season. Credit to us. First reported by [Pardon My Take].
The 76ers did indeed have a long history of high draft picks getting injured (Embiid, Simmons, Noel), and Markelle Fultz did miss most of his rookie season with a mysterious shoulder injury.

The NCAA will investigate LaMelo Ball for selling shoes
Yes, this is going to pique their [NCAA] interest a little. If you take any dollar out of the NCAA's pockets, they will come down on you. So yes, I think the NCAA will look into this.
LaMelo eventually lost his NCAA eligibility and played overseas before the NBA.
