The blockbuster trade that sent Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers has understandably sparked an emotional rollercoaster in Boston. Celtics assistant coach Sam Cassell offered a reminder that even franchise greats are not saved from the business side of pro basketball. In an interview with WBZTV, Cassell discussed Brown’s exit from Boston to Philadelphia. “Well, we won a championship with Jaylen Brown in Boston,” Cassell said. “Jaylen has done everything possible for this city… He’ll be missed, but it is the NBA. Wilt Chamberlain got traded after he averaged 50 points one year. So it happens. “Trades happen in this league.…

A hefty “super Earth” lurking in one of the closest star systems to our planet may be much better suited to supporting extraterrestrial life than scientists initially thought, a new study suggests. The alien world’s relative proximity to Earth, and the nature of its home star, make it a prime candidate for follow-up observations, researchers say.The exoplanet, dubbed GJ 3378b, was discovered in 2024 and orbits a red dwarf star around 25 light-years from our planet. The alien world circles its star every 21.5 days at a distance around 10 times closer than Earth orbits the sun, which would make…

SEATTLE — Mauricio Pochettino’s calculus on how to deal with the loss of Folarin Balogun, handed a one-game red card suspension ahead of the USMNT’s Round of 16 match against Belgium, comes down in large part to how much the manager is willing to change about his lineup as a whole. Pochettino’s system and first-choice starting XI have been hugely effective so far in the World Cup, including against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32, and he does have plug-and-play options. Those would be Ricardo Pepi and Haji Wright, with Pepi presumed to be higher up on the depth chart.…
