The 2023 NBA Draft is now almost two weeks away — and the only thing we know for sure is that the San Antonio Spurs will select Victor Wembanyama with the first pick. After that, things could go any number of directions with the biggest question revolving around what Charlotte will do with the second pick.

Denver, CO

Denver stole the home court edge back with Game 3 win in Miami. The Denver Nuggets have taken a 2-1 lead in the 2023 NBA Finals by defeating the Miami Heat, 109-94, in Game 3 on Wednesday. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray led the way by becoming the first teammates in NBA history to post 30-point triple-doubles in any game, but it was a team-wide performance as the Nuggets played one of their best defensive games of the postseason.

Las Vegas, NV

Karlsson missed Wednesday's practice because of an illness, according to Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Karlsson is still probable for Game 3 on Thursday. It would be a big loss for Vegas if he isn't able to play, especially given that he's provided 10 goals and 15 points in 19 playoff contests this year. If Karlsson isn't available Thursday, then Teddy Blueger might draw into the lineup for the first time since May 25.

He tested the limits of those rights when the Super Bowl LVII champion Kansas City Chiefs visited the White House on Monday. President Joe Biden gave a speech, and head coach Andy Reid spoke as part of the proceedings as well.

Atlanta, GA

Mayfield has been working at right tackle during the Falcons' recent OTAs, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Mayfield, a 2021 third-round pick, was the Falcons' starting left guard as a rookie but missed the entire 2022 campaign with a back injury. He's back to full strength this offseason and has been working at right guard and right tackle during OTAs. Mayfield won't be replacing Kaleb McGary or Chris Lindstrom as a starter on the right side of the line, so the Michigan product looks poised to serve as a versatile backup in 2023. Mayfield previously played right tackle in college.

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- The final day of OTA practice certainly wasn't long for the Philadelphia Eagles, who had to practice indoors due to the air quality conditions taking over the Northeast from the wildfires in Canada. Even though the Eagles wrapped things up until training camp in July, the team provided a glimpse of what to expect in six weeks.

Taylor Swift confuses young fan by inviting her up on stage from the audience then reversing this as she realized there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage. In a recent concert stop in Chicago on her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift found herself in a heartwarming yet challenging situation during her performance. While Swift is known for her fan engagement and surprise on-stage moments, this particular encounter took an unexpected turn. As she performed her hit song "22," Swift spotted a young fan and attempted to involve her in the show, only to realize there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage.

Patrick (toe) has been taking part in practices during OTAs, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports. Patrick signed a two-year deal with Chicago last offseason but ended the 2022 campaign on injured reserve after undergoing surgery in November. The veteran offensive lineman should be good to go for the start of training camp and will likely serve as a depth option at either center or guard.

When Cincinnati Reds prospect Elly De La Cruz blasted his first MLB home run 458 feet away from home plate on Wednesday night, there was a good chance he would never see that ball again. Lucky for De La Cruz, one fan in the last row of Great American Ballpark had good reaction time and a sense of generosity.

PHILADELPHIA -- Nicholas Morrow and Sean Desai are both in their first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, meaning growing pains are to be expected in a new defense. While the philosophy is similar to Jonathan Gannon's defense, Desai is looking to eliminate the growing pains that come with learning new terminology.

Phoenix, AZ

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Washington. McCarthy has multiple steals in two straight games and has stolen 10 bags in 10 games since being recalled from Triple-A Reno. The outfielder is getting on base with regularity since rejoining the parent club, which could mean a full season's worth of steals. McCarthy had 23 stolen bases over 99 games in 2022.

Seattle, WA

Munoz (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday. As expected, the Mariners returned Munoz from the 15-day IL on Tuesday, clearing him to return to the big-league bullpen for the first time since April 9. The right-hander has appeared in four games with Seattle this season, tossing 3.1 scoreless frames, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out three batters. The 24-year-old flamethrower will likely step right into a prominent high-leverage role in Seattle's bullpen, though veteran Paul Sewald could have a strong hold on the ninth inning for the time being. Regardless of where he slots in, Munoz figures to be a strong fantasy asset coming off of a 2022 campaign where he produced a 2.49 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 13.3 K/9 and 22 holds over 65 frames in 64 appearances.

Mariners' Andres Munoz: Reinstated from IL

Legumina (ankle) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville. Legumina is recovered from the right ankle contusion that sent him to the injured list in mid-May and could be an option again for the Reds' bullpen by the weekend. He had pitched to a 4.35 ERA with nine strikeouts in 10.1 innings of relief for Cincinnati prior to the IL stint.

Reds' Casey Legumina: Cleared for rehab assignment

Senzel was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee irritation, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Senzel missed one game last week and another this week with the injury, and the Reds have decided to give him a little down time. He will be eligible for activation June 16, but whether he will be ready to roll at that time remains to be seen. Top prospect Elly De La Cruz is up to take Senzel's spot on the roster.
