Steph Curry reportedly ‘frustrated' with Under Armour after Caitlin Clark bid
Steph Curry reportedly ‘frustrated' with Under Armour after Caitlin Clark bid originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Steph Curry’s recent split from Under Armour after more than a decade may have been influenced by the company’s failed push to sign Caitlin Clark, according to Bloomberg’s Kim Bhasin and Randall Williams (h/t Sports Business Journal).
Curry and Under Armour ended their 13-year partnership earlier this month, with Curry Brand set to continue independently. While the breakup was widely viewed as business-oriented, Bloombergreported that Curry grew frustrated with what he and his advisers saw as underinvestment in his line.
One “sore point,” as Bloombergnoted, was Under Armour’s pursuit of the Indiana Fever star. Curry and the company both wanted to bring Clark into the Curry Brand, but Under Armour’s offer reportedly fell well short of Nike’s winning bid.
Clark ultimately signed a historic eight-year, $28 million signature sneaker deal with Nike, far outpacing Under Armour’s four-year, $16 million offer and Adidas’ four-year, $6 million bid. The significant gap between Under Armour’s pitch and Nike’s reportedly frustrated Curry, who has long emphasized investing in women’s basketball through Curry Brand initiatives and his equal-gender Curry Camp structure.
While the partnership between Curry and Under Armour is ending, the company still plans to release one final Curry sneaker, the Curry 13, in February 2026 before the two sides officially part ways.
Now one of the biggest sneaker free agents in years, Curry is expected to draw interest from major brands including Nike, Adidas and Puma. For now, he’s free to experiment, and he’s already been seen wearing various models — including Kobe Bryant’s Mambacita 6s — during pregame warmups.
Report: Even once healthy, there is a limited trade market for Anthony Davis
Despite Mark Cuban saying Dallas was not going to trade Anthony Davis because "we want to win," the expectation around the league is that the Mavericks' front office — whether the current, interim general managers or the person who gets the job full-time — will at least explore the trade market for AD.
Except, there's not that much of a market, ESPN’s Tim Bontemps said on the Hoop Collective Podcast.
"The idea of trading Anthony Davis has everyone trained to think, well, they're gonna get three firsts, two swaps, they're gonna get two young players and they're gonna get all this stuff. I shouldn't say it's not gonna happen... but, you talk to people in the league, there's not a lot of teams that are lining up to take on a 35-year-old Anthony Davis making $63 million, and you have to assume that he's gonna opt into that deal."
Davis, 32, has a $62.8 million player option for next season. He might be willing to opt out of that year as part of a longer, more lucrative contract extension, but either way, a team that trades for him is taking on an expensive player.
Before any discussion of Anthony Davis trades gets serious, he gets back on the court healthy and plays an extended period for Dallas, league sources have told NBC Sports.
Once on the court, how Davis plays will have an impact on any offers that come in, and Dallas is going to be looking for a bigger return than may be available, as Bontemps notes. In the five games he has played this season, Avis averaged 20.8 points and 10.2 rebounds a game, shooting 52% from the floor overall but continuing to not show a consistent jump shot.
Maybe the way he plays will pique interest in the 10-time All-Star, but Dallas has to find a team willing to take on all that money (with the Mavericks up against the second apron and not able to take back more money than they send out) and send out a package that can help the Mavericks save face. That is going to be a very small pool of teams.

'Dodgers Rule': Graffiti artist Chaka and others draw inspiration — and murals — from World Series champs
Legendary graffiti artist Daniel "Chaka" Ramos once claimed he had tagged more than 40,000 locations around Los Angeles.
He can now add seven more. And unlike decades ago — when Ramos had to sneak around in darkness to spray-paint his nickname in large, block letters all over the city and surrounding areas — this time it was fully permissible.
Earlier this month, Nike recruited Ramos to add his signature style to seven murals celebrating the Dodgers' back-to-back World Series titles, which the team clinched Nov. 1 with a dramatic Game 7 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ramos, an L.A. native and Dodgers fan, was more than happy to participate, adding his name and slogans crafted by Nike to each piece. He told The Times in an email that it was his "first major project with a corporate giant like Nike."
"They’re one of the most prolific creative forces in the world, and collaborating with them was a milestone for me," the 53-year-old artist said. "The rush of graffiti can’t really be compared to commissioned or gallery work, but this experience came close."
The Nike murals, which are scheduled to remain up through Nov. 30, are among the pieces included in a new and quickly expanding online map detailing the locations of Dodgers murals in and around L.A. The map was created by and is curated by Mike Asner, the mastermind behind a similar website that documents the locations of hundreds of Kobe and Gianna Bryant murals around the world.
Asner already has a full-time job as a marketing director in sports and entertainment, as well as maintaining the Bryant mural site. Still, the morning after the Dodgers clinched their second straight championship, Asner knew it was time to get to start tracking more murals.

“I think the reception from the fans and the artists I got to know from the Kobe mural project was very positive," Asner, who also has an Instagram page highlighting Dodgers murals, said. "And the main thing I realized was it was helping people and providing a service to them and making things easier. ... After the Dodgers won back-to-back championships, we started to see murals going up immediately, so I felt it would be the right thing to do again.”
The map currently includes 54 murals, located as far north as Van Nuys and all the way down to Lake Elsinore. One of the standouts for Asner is a sprawling painting by artist Royyal Dog in the Florence-Graham neighborhood in South Los Angeles (2619 Firestone Blvd.). It features portraits of many all-time Dodgers greats, including Tommy Lasorda, Fernando Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Turner, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani.
Another of his favorites is one by artist Gustavo Zermeño Jr. on the Eat Fantastic building in Redondo Beach (701 N. Pacific Coast Highway). A tribute to the 2024 World Series championship, the mural features Betts, Freeman and Ohtani but is highlighted by a larger-than-life image of Lakers legend Bryant wearing a basketball jersey with Dodgers colors and lettering.
The Nike-Chaka collaborations represent some of the newer artwork documented on Asner's map. A Nike spokesperson said the idea was to give Ramos approved spaces in local neighborhoods to express the pride that Dodgers fans are feeling after back-to-back championships.
Two of the murals were painted directly on the walls by L.A.-based artists, with Ramos adding the slogans and his tag afterward. Artist Swank One painted the one at 2844 1st St. in Boyle Heights. It features relief pitcher Roki Sasaki and Smith embracing after the Dodgers clinched the National League pennant, with the slogan "On the Double."
Artists Enkone and Keorock painted at 4560 Whittier Blvd. in East L.A. The mural features pitcher Blake Snell, whose postseason included a one-hit, eighth-inning gem in Game 1 of the NLCS, with the slogan "Twice as Nice." That mural has since been removed.
For four of the others, Nike licensed game photos from Getty Images, overlaid tag designs from Ramos and then had the images blown up and printed as murals.
Those include "Twice in a Blue Moon" in Silverlake (at Hollywood Boulevard and Hillhurst Avenue), featuring Max Muncy and Hyesong Kim; "Repeat Heroes" in Echo Park (at West Temple Street and North Boylston Street), featuring Smith and Sasaki; "Turn Two, Earn Two" in Echo Park (atSunset Boulevard and Marion Avenue), featuring Muncy; and "Dodgers Rule" — a play on Ramos' longtime slogan "Chaka Rules" — in Westlake/Echo Park (at Beverly Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue), featuring Sasaki.
The last mural features a photo of Yamamoto letting out a roar. The photo was blown up several stories high and installed several stories higher in downtown L.A. at 213 S. Broadway. Ramos then boarded a suspended scaffold and was lifted high above his hometown, where he spent four to five hours adding his tag and the slogan "Back 2 Back."
It may not have been as daring as some of the stunts he pulled in the past, but Ramos definitely felt the rush.
"I’ve done graffiti at daredevil heights without a harness before, but nothing at this scale. This time I actually had to gear up with a harness — haha," he wrote. "It was intense, but a lot of fun."

The Nike-Chaka murals will be coming down soon, but Asner says he's excited to see what other new creations might fill out the map in the aftermath of the latest championship run.
"We're gonna see really amazing artwork going up, and we're gonna see artwork of Dodgers that haven't necessarily been on murals. like Will Smith and Yoshinobu Yamamoto," Asner said. "There's a lot of really big stars from this series that deserve to get credit for their amazing job. ...
“You know, Ohtani was incredible, obviously, Friedman was incredible. But there were a lot of big players that stepped up — Miggy Rojas, right? Huge, huge reason they won. So it's gonna be great to see what these artists do, and I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.”

Islanders Loan Defenseman Marshall Warren Back To Bridgeport
The New York Islanders loaned defenseman Marshall Warren back to the Bridgeport Islanders on Monday.
#Isles have returned Marshall Warren to Bridgeport.
— Stefen Rosner (@stefen_rosner) November 24, 2025
The 24-year-old defenseman, who played two games earlier in the season-- two assists in his NHL debut -- had sat out the last three games as the club's seventh defenseman.
Adam Boqvist, who had been serving that role, is back in the lineup with defenseman Alexander Romanov out five-to-six to six months as he'll need right shoulder surgery. He's played in each of the last five games, averaging 13:50 minutes, and seems to have won the job, for now.

Chris Driedger Leaves KHL Team; Headed Back To Winnipeg?
Traktor Chelyabinsk and goaltender Chris Driedger have terminated their contract upon mutual agreement, the KHL club announced on Sunday.
The news came two days after it was announced that Connor Hellebuyck would be out of the Winnipeg Jets’ lineup for four to six weeks. The Jets retained Driedger’s NHL rights when he signed with Chelyabinsk in June.
The Jets called up 22-year-old Thomas Milic from the AHL’s Manitoba Moose and called up Isaac Poulter from the ECHL to Manitoba. The Jets might plan to assign Driedger to the Moose as insurance if the duo of Milic and Eric Comrie falters before Hellebuyck returns.
In 23 games this season with Traktor, Driedger has a goals-against average of 3.05, a .917 save percentage, one shutout and a record of 8-9-1. Traktor currently sits fifth in the KHL’s 11-team Western Conference with a record of 13-12-5.
Driedger, who was born and raised in Winnipeg, played junior hockey for the WHL’s Tri-City Americans and Calgary Hitmen, was chosen in the third round, 76th overall, by the Ottawa Senators in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
Spencer Martin's KHL Journey Ends After 14 Games Ex-NHL goalie Spencer Martin's KHL journey ends abruptly. After signing with CSKA Moscow, his tenure was cut short amidst team struggles and the performance a younger netminder.Between 2014 and 2024, Driedger played 67 NHL regular-season games for the Senators, Florida Panthers and Seattle Kraken, compiling a record of 31-24-5 with a goals-against average of 2.45, a save percentage of .917 and five shutouts. He also played three playoff games for Florida in 2021.
Winnipeg acquired Driedger in a trade with Florida in 2025 – he played only five AHL games with the Moose at the end of the 2024-25 season.
Internationally, Driedger played in six of Canada’s 10 games at the 2022 IIHF World Championship in Finland, backstopping the team to a silver medal.

Will Phils finally land a star from Asia this winter?
Will Phils finally land a star from Asia this winter? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Phillies have long been as aggressive as anyone in baseball when it comes to free agency.
The same hasn’t been true on the international side, though. Their history with signing top talent out of Asia has been almost non-existent, and it hasn’t been for a lack of effort.
“Sometimes there’s a little bit more of an obstacle we’re facing,” Dave Dombrowski told The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Scott Lauber recently. “Maybe [Philly] is not the No. 1 place, first and foremost. But you don’t give in to that. You try to create an atmosphere that people want to join, and you’re hopeful that at some time it works out for you.”
This offseason might finally present that opportunity. Unlike recent winters, the combination of posted players from Japan’s NPB, Korea’s KBO and Taiwan’s CPBL aligns directly with several needs up and down the Phillies’ roster.
An instant match is corner infielder Kazuma Okamoto of the Yomiuri Giants. Before injuries interrupted his 2025 season, the 29-year-old logged seven straight years with a .250 or better average, 27+ homers, 80+ RBIs, 240+ total bases and an OPS of .805 or higher.
Credit: Rhona Wise – USA TODAY Sports
His offensive profile in NPB mirrors what Seiya Suzuki brought from Japan — and the Cubs outfielder has produced an .818 OPS with 87 home runs across his first four MLB seasons.
Okamoto would provide the right-handed power presence the Phillies have lacked the last two years and give Bryce Harper consistent protection in the middle of the order.
MLB Trade Rumors projected a four-year, $64 million deal — a range the Phillies can operate in, whether that means missing out on the Kyle Schwarber sweepstakes or moving Alec Bohm via trade.
The pitching side is less certain. The team isn’t expected to pursue high-end starters, but Ranger Suárez’s expected departure and uncertainty around Zack Wheeler’s recovery leave room for rotation upgrades.
The most coveted starter available is right-hander Tatsuya Imai. He debuted back in 2017 and has made his mark with the Seibu Lions of the NPB. Over his last four seasons, he averaged a 2.19 ERA, and this past year was his best.
In 2025, he posted a 1.92 ERA and a league-best 0.89 WHIP across 163 2/3 innings, allowing only 101 hits and 45 walks.
A contract in the $20 million AAV range over five or six years is expected for the 27-year-old — whose fastball nears triple digits — which may exceed what the Phillies are willing to do.
A more realistic target is in Taiwan. Wei Chuan Dragons right-hander Jo Hsi Hsu was posted Sunday, and Yahoo Sports Taiwan linked the Phillies to the 25-year-old as early as April.
Hsu just put together his best full season — a 2.05 ERA and 0.81 WHIP over 19 starts in 2025.
FanGraphs evaluators Eric Longenhagen and James Fegan noted a late-season dip in velocity that could point to a bullpen future in the MLB, and it is not yet certain whether Hsu will choose a major-league deal or sign in Japan. But the Phillies’ interest predates his posting — and the cost would be nowhere near Imai’s.
If the Phillies don’t go the international route to add pitching, they could enhance their depth offensively. Left-handed hitting is not an organizational priority, but two KBO standouts fit the profile of affordable upside.
Samsung slugger Lewin Díaz just authored one of the greatest offensive seasons in league history: a .314 average, 50 home runs and 158 RBIs — capturing the KBO Triple Crown while setting league records for a foreign player in home runs and runs batted in.
Credit: Sam Navarro – USA TODAY Sports
Díaz played three MLB seasons (2020–22) before moving to the KBO. His arc resembles Eric Thames, who came back from Korea and delivered an .825 OPS and 114 OPS+ over four MLB seasons. Whether Díaz returns to the big leagues remains unknown, but his 2025 output makes him a legitimate candidate.
Kiwoom infielder Sung-mun Song also fits the Phillies’ roster structure — albeit in a different way. After seven inconsistent KBO seasons, Song has hit .327 over the last two years and totaled 109 extra-base hits with OPS marks of .927 and .917.
The 29-year-old’s athleticism allows him to play first, second and third, and while his defense has been up and down, his versatility makes him a complement to Edmundo Sosa as the Phillies shore up their bench.
Although NPB star Munetaka Murakami is the biggest name on the international market, the Phillies’ push to improve — and their willingness to pursue talent across the Pacific — puts them in position to compete for at least one of these players.
Arsenal’s Premier League dominance is not under threat. At least not yet | Jonathan Wilson
Eberechi Eze’s hat-trick and Manchester City’s loss to Newcastle means Arsenal are in control of their own destiny
So it turns out those who had already handed the title to Arsenal were right after all.
It’s absurd, of course, to start handing out the title in November but a feature of modern football is how obsessed it becomes so early with title races. It’s perhaps a legacy of the Pep Guardiola-Jürgen Klopp rivalry’s peak, when being champion meant amassing more than 95 points. It made sense then to scan the track far ahead for any potential hurdles because there were so few. But less than a third of the way through this season, Manchester City, who remain probably the biggest danger to Arsenal, have already dropped as many points as they did in the entirety of 2017-18, their 100-point campaign.

Penguins' Top Forward Prospect Recalled From AHL
The Pittsburgh Penguins made a flurry of roster moves to start the week on Monday.
They recalled forward prospect Tristan Broz from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton while sending Philip Tomasino to WBS. They also assigned Harrison Brunicke and Jack St. Ivany to WBS for conditioning purposes.
Forward Tristan Broz has been recalled from the @WBSPenguins (AHL).

Forward Philip Tomasino has been re-assigned to WBS.
Defensemen Harrison Brunicke and Jack St. Ivany have also been assigned to WBS for conditioning purposes. pic.twitter.com/Q2HA0QnW8L
This is a well-deserved recall for Broz, considering how great he's been to start the year. He's been a big part of the team's 13-4-1 start, scoring eight goals and recording 13 points in 18 games. Since the start of last season, no player on WBS has scored more than Broz (27 goals).
Broz was really close to making the NHL roster out of training camp before he was sent down right before the season started. It was clear that he wasn't far off from making his NHL debut, and now he'll be given his shot with a team that could use more depth scoring.
There's a good chance he makes his NHL debut this Wednesday when the Penguins host the Buffalo Sabres in their annual Thanksgiving Eve game.

Penguins Loan Top Defensive Prospect Harrison Brunicke To AHL
After weeks of speculation, the Pittsburgh Penguins finally exercised a beneficial loophole for one of their top prospects.
On Monday, the Penguins announced that 19-year-old defenseman Harrison Brunicke - who made the NHL club out of training camp but has not played an NHL game in three weeks - was loaned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) Penguins of the AHL for conditioning. Defenseman Jack St. Ivany - who has been on injured reserve since training camp with a lower-body injury - was also sent to WBS on a conditioning loan.
The 6-foot-3, 203-pound Brunicke has played in nine NHL games this season, which means his entry-level contract - unlike rookie forward Ben Kindel's - has not yet been activated. After scoring his first NHL goal against the New York Islanders during the second game of the season, the teenage right defenseman, at times, struggled to adapt to reads at NHL speed.
Although 18- and 19-year-old CHL-eligible forwards cannot play in the AHL per the current CHL-NHL agreement, the proper conditions were met for this loophole to be exercised. Since Brunicke was a healthy scratch in five or more consecutive NHL games, he became eligible for an AHL conditioning stint that can extend up to either five games or 14 days - whichever happens first.
The WBS next play Wednesday when they face the Hershey Bears, and they will have a back-to-back slate this weekend against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms - the team that eliminated them in the first round of the playoffs last season - and again against Hershey. They have the same exact slate next weekend, which would mark the five-game (potentially) and 12-day mark for Brunicke.
'We Always Want Him To Know What The Plan Is': Dubas Provides Update On Brunicke SituationPittsburgh Penguins' general manager and president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas elaborates on the plan for 19-year-old defenseman Harrison Brunicke, who is now eligible for an AHL conditioning loan. Brunicke must be returned from his conditioning stint by Dec. 8, and that falls four days before Team Canada begins its World Junior Camp - which Brunicke is eligible to be loaned to.
St. Ivany, 26, has been up and down between the AHL and NHL over the last couple of seasons. He spent 19 games with Pittsburgh last season and registered one point to go along with a minus-3, while he put up a goal and 16 points in 37 games with WBS as well as a plus-9.

NHL Rumor Roundup: Latest Trade Buzz On Canes' Svechnikov, Canucks' Reichel And Jets' Lambert
The early weeks of this season saw Andrei Svechnikov get off to an unusually slow start.
The 25-year-old Carolina Hurricanes left winger was held scoreless while playing reduced minutes through his first eight games.
On Saturday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported hearing that Svechnikov was unhappy with the situation. It's believed he was open to a trade if the Hurricanes were approached about moving him.
Friedman indicated that this information spread throughout the league, resulting in several teams making inquiries about Svechnikov. However, the Hurricanes still consider him a cornerstone player and aren't keen to move him. Any interested club would have to make what Friedman called a “monster offer” to tempt the Hurricanes.
PuckPedia indicates that Svechnikov is in the fifth season of his eight-year contract. He's earning an average annual value of $7.75 million and carries a 10-team list of approved trade destinations.
Friedman claims the situation has since cooled down. Svechnikov has returned to the Hurricanes' top line and has 12 points in his last 14 games. Still, Friedman believes that this could be worth monitoring if things regress to where they were earlier in the season.
The Hurricanes aren't likely to shop Svechnikov this season. They're in “go-for-it” mode and want him to be part of their Stanley Cup push. However, if they fall short again, they could consider a roster shakeup next summer, which could involve entertaining serious offers for Svechnikov.
Meanwhile, in Vancouver, left winger Lukas Reichel could be on the move again.
Reichel, 23, was acquired by the Canucks from the Chicago Blackhawks last month. Patrick Johnston of The Province indicated that CHEK-TV's Rick Dhaliwal was claiming the young forward could be a trade option if another team is interested in him.
Chosen 17th overall by the Blackhawks in the 2020 NHL draft, Reichel was projected to become a scoring forward. However, he's struggled to meet those expectations. The youngster has one assist in 13 games with the Canucks and was a healthy scratch from their last two games.
Sidelined Canucks forwards Teddy Blueger and Nils Hoglander are expected to return to action soon. Reichel could end up on the trade block or the waiver wire soon.
NHL Insider Weighs In On Jets' Brad Lambert Situation, Potential Trade ReturnNHL insider reveals the Jets' strategy for trading prized prospect Brad Lambert, drawing parallels to a past high-profile deal.Speaking of struggling first-round draft picks, Brad Lambert of the Winnipeg Jets was reportedly permitted to talk with other teams about a trade. NHL insider Frank Seravalli broke that news last Thursday.
Lambert, 21, was selected 30th overall by the Jets in the 2022 NHL draft. The youngster was once a highly touted center prospect, but his stock tumbled during his draft year. He has one goal in four games with the Jets this season while averaging over nine minutes of playing time.
With injuries starting to bite several NHL clubs, and teams searching for help at center, Lambert might land with another team in the near future.

Thomas Frank desperately needs a performance from his stalled Spurs team
Tottenham manager can afford a midweek defeat in Paris, but the same does not apply to Fulham’s visit on Saturday
Welcome, then, to another of those Spurs weeks, where the executives are deeply concerned and it is impossible to ignore the sense of foreboding. The 4-1 derby humiliation at Arsenal on Sunday ensured the club are playing a game of crisis-baton hot potato with Liverpool and surely the last thing that the manager, Thomas Frank, needs is a Champions League trip to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
This is not the real fear because it is just about possible to paint the game against the European champions as a free hit. Even in the best of times, nobody would have expected much from Tottenham there and, with two wins and two draws from four matches in the competition, they can afford to lose this one.
