In Case You Missed It 

• The NBA Draft and NHL Draft have taken place at the end of June, with each decision shaping the realities of what will happen next season. It gives fans a chance to imagine and anticipate what the seasons are going to look like in late September for the NHL and October for the NBA. 

• On the same day in the Round of 32 for the 2026 FIFA World Cup #10 Germany lost to #37 Paraguay and the #8 Netherland was defeated by #6 Morocco. Both went to a penalty kick shootout! It is just another reminder that the World Cup is still any nations to win as we head into the final rounds of the tournament! 

• Before Wimbledon, Serena Williams made her official come out of retirement at Queen’s Club and earned a doubles victory with a remarkable performance. Despite her long layoff from the game that made her who she is today since she was 14, Serena’s athleticism and power presented the flair she had before her nearly 4-year absence. 

Fun Fact: Despite playing over 1,000 games, Wilt Chamberlin never fouled out of an NBA game through the entirety of his career.
