The Phoenix Suns were among those rumored to have an interest in acquiring Kevin Durant when he asked the Brooklyn Nets for a trade earlier in the summer.

The Las Vegas Raiders have been spotless through three games in the 2022 NFL preseason, but that’s not going to make head coach Josh McDaniels feel as though he’s got it all figured out.
