An MLS original side may be on the move to Austin in 2019, according to SI's Grant Wahl and the Columbus Dispatch's Michael Arace.According to the report by Arace, the Crew owner Anthony Precourt has become frustrated with the team's lack of revenue and declining attendance and has entertained the move to the state capital if a deal for a downtown stadium cannot be reached.The group reportedly is close to a deal with the University of Texas at Austin to host games there in 2019 and 2020 at Mike Myers Stadium, where the women's team plays, before beginning play in 2021 in a new stadium.MLS has also trademarked "Austin Athletic" and "Austin FC", which may be another sign of the league anticipating the move.Precourt has reportedly declined offers from Columbus business owners to buy the Crew.

  • Anthony Edwards on Nikola Jokic’s masterful Game 5 performance: “I just laugh. That’s all I can do.”
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 04:07 AM

    Rudy Gobert’s effort was valiant. But Nikola Jokic was just too good. In the midst of Jokic’s scoring onslaught in the third quarter of Game 5, the Timberwolves big man was in the paint, trying his best to prevent the three-time MVP from moving around him. Jokic backed down Gobert, turned left, then right, then left again before he shot the ball over the four-time Defensive Player of the Year’s outstretched arm and into the heavens before dropping down through the net. The Nuggets took a seven-point lead with 6:40 left in the quarter, as Minnesota — the best defensive team in the NBA — saw its hopes for a Game 5 slowly fading away. “I just laugh.

    Nobody could hear a word Adam Silver was saying, but the speech was probably nice. On a night Ball Arena drowned out the NBA commissioner’s presentation of Nikola Jokic’s third MVP award with “M-V-P” chants, Jokic proceeded to give Silver a treat. He went for 40 points, seven rebounds and 13 assists to lead the Nuggets to a 112-97 Game 5 win and a 3-2 series lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jokic made 15 of 22 shots from the field.
