Grizzlies trade guard Desmond Bane to Magic in blockbuster deal
Hear this story
The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to trade guard Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic in exchange for guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Cole Anthony, as well as four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick swap,
A person with knowledge of the trade confirmed the deal to USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt. The person requested anonymity because he's not authorized to speak publicly until the trade is official. ESPN first reported the trade on Sunday.
Memphis will also receive Orlando's first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, No. 16 overall, plus the Phoenix Suns' first-round pick in 2026, and the 2028 and 2030 unprotected first-round selections.
The 26-year-old Bane just completed his fifth NBA season, where he averaged 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for a Memphis team that finished 48-34 and was swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.
Orlando is an up-and-coming team in the Eastern Conference led by All-Star forward Paola Banchero and forward Franz Wagner, but has been eliminated in the postseason's first round in each of the past two years.

Dodgers' Roki Sasaki Resumes Throwing Program in Recovery From Shoulder Injury
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki has restarted his throwing program as he continues his recovery from a right shoulder injury. Manager Dave Roberts said the 23-year-old phenom threw from 60 to 90 feet Friday in his return to workouts after a brief pause. "That was a bonus," he said. "That was a plus. Chatted with him briefly afterward. He was excited about it." The Dodgers had halted Sasaki's throwing program for the previous several days because he didn't feel comfortable throwing at full intensity. Roberts confirmed that Sasaki has remained pain-free, but must build up his arm to game strength in a process that will take at least a few more weeks. Sasaki went on the injured list May 13 with right shoulder impingement, and the Dodgers transferred him to the 60-day injured list earlier Friday to make room on their roster for their latest trade acquisition, left-hander Zach Penrod. Roberts said Sasaki's move to the 60-day list was "procedural (and) the progression … doesn't affect that at all." Sasaki began his first stateside season in the Dodgers' rotation, going 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP in eight starts while adjusting to his move from Japan to MLB. The Dodgers shut down Sasaki after he developed pain in his shoulder, but the two-time Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star began throwing again earlier this month. The Dodgers currently have a mere 13 pitchers on the injured list after having as many as 15 injured hurlers in recent weeks — and Sasaki isn't the only key starter making progress in his recovery. Tyler Glasnow will throw two innings Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City in his first rehab assignment, Roberts said. The $136.5 million right-hander has been on the injured list since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell will throw a bullpen session soon at Dodger Stadium, Roberts said. The left-hander made only two starts to begin the first season of his $182 million deal before going on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Shohei Ohtani threw a bullpen session on schedule Friday despite getting hit by a pitch in his pitching shoulder in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' contentious 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday night. Ohtani is still scheduled to make his second mound start for the Dodgers on Sunday. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 20 - Randy Mahaffey (1968-69)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 21st of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 20, which has has had a total of 28 players wear the number in the history of the team. The second of those players wearing No. 20 played in the (then) New York (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, forward alum Randy Mahaffey. After ending his college career at Clemson, Mahaffey was picked up with the 16th overall selection of the 1967 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers. The LaGrange, Georgia native would play parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with the ABA's (defunct) Kentucky Colonels instead, however, coming to an end when he was dealt to New York in 1968. His stay with the team would span just 48 games before he would be dealt again, this time to the (also defunct) Carolina Cougars in 1969. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Mahaffey wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 13.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
