Media day at the AAC set the tone for 2026-27: new coach Dusty May, Kyrie Irving back from a torn left ACL saying he's under no medical restrictions into camp, and Cooper Flagg entering Year 2 after winning Kia Rookie of the Year.

Masai Ujiri's message was simple — bring joy back to basketball after a 26-56 season. Flagg said he's now about 6'10" without shoes. Dallas also drafted Morez Johnson Jr. at No. 9, a familiar face from May's Michigan staff.

Camp roster churn is real. Dwight Powell is back on a training-camp deal (terms undisclosed), and Dallas Sports Journal reported Seth Lundy joined as a camp invitee to fill out a 20-man group. Neither is locked onto the opening-night 15.

Rehab watch: patience with Dereck Lively II after right-foot surgery; Santi Aldama's camp status tied to a right knee scope. Preseason tips off with the NBA China Games vs. the Rockets in Macao on Oct. 9 and Oct. 11, then home dates before the regular-season opener at Houston on Oct. 21.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

Penn State should forfeit the rest of the season; Morally right thing to do

-

The Penn State Board of Trustees last night decided to fire both Coach Joe Paterno and President Graham Spanier as the first steps to righting an unbelievable wrong. Board vice chair Joe Surma stated,  "The University is much larger than its athletic teams." The press conference to announce the firing of Paterno continually referenced how Penn State will make decisions from a moral perspective. After all, Penn State is supposed to be the morally right institution graduating over 80% of its student athletes. If you truly want to do what is morally right then you forfeit the rest of the season and bowl season.  For the last decade the athletic department and school officials knowingly allowed a pedophile to use its facilities as his own devil's playground. For an entire decade Penn State put its football program ahead of the 40 to 100 innocent children that were abused by Jerry Sandusky, who had an office on campus. To knowingly put sexual abuse over college football tra...
