Houston, TX

Christopher registered two points (1-2 FG) across six minutes during Sunday's 108-91 loss to Cleveland. Christopher played just six minutes in the loss, the fewest he has played in almost two weeks. Despite playing somewhat consistent minutes, Christopher is outside the top 300 over the past two weeks, begging the question of why head coach Stephen Silas refuses to play TyTy Washington. Questionable coaching decisions aside, Christopher remains well off the radar, outside of the deepest of leagues.

Sacramento, CA

The Sacramento Kings are having themselves a dream season, which comes as a result of some very good front-office decisions. It started with trading Tyrese Haliburton for Domantas Sabonis, who could very well end up as a top-five MVP finisher. Giving up Haliburton was not a move many teams would...

Memphis, TN

Morant is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to soreness in his right thigh. It looks like Morant will be skipping the first leg of Memphis' upcoming Tuesday-Wednesday, back-to-back set, which will presumably result in another start for Tyus Jones and more usage for Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks. Morant managers should check back closer to Tuesday's 8:00 p.m. ET tip for official word on his status.

Terry (personal) won't play Monday against Colorado, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports. Terry left Saturday's 6-3 loss to St. Louis after the second period due to a personal matter. He has generated 21 goals, 56 points and 174 shots on net in 66 contests this campaign. Frank Vatrano (personal) will return to the lineup Monday.

The Minnesota Twins kick off the 2023 MLB season on Thursday, March 30, in an intradivision matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Not exactly unfamiliar foes, the Twins and Royals are taking different angles to the same theoretical goal: an AL Central title. With the new, more-balanced schedule, they won't be seeing as much of each other this year, meaning an early spring series win could pay dividends in the fall.

Green Bay, WI

At some point this offseason, the Packers made the decision to move on from Aaron Rodgers and one reason that happened is apparently because he wouldn't return their calls. When Rodgers left town following the conclusion of the 2022 season, both sides seemed open to the idea of the quarterback possibly returning in 2023. Before that could happen though, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst wanted to get Rodgers on the phone to talk about the future of the team. However, those conversations never happened because Rodgers was apparently ducking every phone call he got from the Packers.

Minnesota State

Cincinnati, OH

Smith agreed to a one-year contract with Cincinnati on Monday, Peter Schrager of NFL Network reports. Smith appeared in eight games a season ago with Minnesota and finished with 25 catches for 182 yards and a pair of scores. He should have a chance to make an immediate impact with the Bengals if he can stay healthy, as he'll join the likes of Devin Asiasi, Tanner Hudson and Nick Bowers in the team's tight end corps, which no longer includes free-agent departure Hayden Hurst.

Buffalo, NY

Rapp agreed Monday with Buffalo on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Rapp is now in line to suit up for the Bills in 2023 following Monday's agreement. The 25-year-old has served as the Rams' starting strong safety since he was drafted as a second-round selection by Los Angeles in 2019, and he registered 92 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions across 16 contests last season. Although the Bills already have two prominent safety options in Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde (neck), Rapp is still more than likely to command a rotational role within the team's secondary.

DeJong (back) took some swings and fielded light grounders off a pitching machine in Florida on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. DeJong is slowly ramping things back up after he had a setback with his back last week. He'll begin the season on the injured list and seems likely a good bet to be sidelined for a handful of weeks.

We may be in the middle of the offseason, but Monday was a dramatic day in the NFL. As head coaches took their seats at the NFL owners meetings to speak with reporters, one of the best players in the world, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, revealed on Twitter he had requested a trade.

Misiewicz was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The Cards need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of phenom Jordan Walker. Misiewicz was acquired from the Royals back in February after being removed from their 40-man roster and will go through the waiver process again.

San Diego, CA

Odor is expected to make San Diego's Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. The move has yet to be made official, and Odor isn't currently on the 40-man roster, but the veteran looks to have an inside track to a roster spot with Tim Lopes and Brandon Dixon moved to minor-league camp Sunday. Odor has made his case to break camp with the Padres with a standout spring, as he's slashing .316/.422/.474 with two homers, six RBI and two steals over 45 plate appearances. If he does indeed make the club, he'll likely work as a bench bat with the ability to play second base, third base and left field.

Mengden re-signed with the Royals on a minor-league contract Wednesday. Mengden saw a little action with the Royals in 2022 but spent the bulk of the season at Triple-A Omaha, posting a 5.20 ERA over 109 innings. He'll head back there to start 2023.

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol confirmed Wednesday that Walker will be in the Opening Day lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Marmol's announcement comes as no surprise after the 20-year-old top prospect was informed Saturday he had made the 26-man major-league roster. Walker will start in one corner-outfield spot Thursday, with Lars Nootbaar covering the other. Tyler O'Neill or Dylan Carlson will patrol center field.

Major League Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez and billionaire businessman Marc Lore completed a new $290 million payment towards their purchase of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, according to The Athletic.

Cessa fired five scoreless innings Wednesday during an exhibition game in Cincinnati. Cessa allowed just one hit in the exhibition. There were worries that after his lack of use in the World Baseball Classic for Team Mexico might limit his inning, but it's encouraging to see him go five in the exhibition bout. He'll be back on the mound on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Auburn, AL

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze topped Alabama coach Nick Saban in 2014 and 2015 while Freeze was coaching Ole Miss, which explains why he was so attractive to the Auburn administration when he was tabbed to take over the role previously occupied by Bryan Harsin. Freeze, along with former Auburn and current UCF coach Gus Malzahn and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, are the only active Power Five coaches who have topped Saban more than once.
