In the third quarter of Atlanta’s 129-117 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, veteran wing Trevor Ariza did not take kindly to what has become a signature move of Trae Young’s: the nutmeg. For those not familiar, this is when a player bounces the ball in between an opponents’ legs to get past them. We
The Braves have stressed that Freddie Freeman’s elbow is not a concern. Ramped up activity after the surgery is likely the reasoning behind why it flared up a bit, and the doctors nor the team seem too worried. While making sure Freeman is healthy is a priority, the team is comfortable with him returning to
Kyle Wright had an up and down 2020 season, but it appears he may have made the required strides to produce at the MLB level. It is still early on in Spring Training, but this doesn’t look like the same guy that pitched to the tune of an 8.69 ERA in seven appearances for the

On Friday evening, Cam Reddish had one of the finest games of his young career, scoring 26 points on 6-of-9 shooting from beyond the arc, adding four rebounds, an assist, and a steal. His performance actually put him in elite company: Cam Reddish is the youngest player to have 26+ points on less than 15
The Falcons have met with a plethora of pass-rushing prospects at this year’s NFL Combine, and Utah’s career sack leader Bradlee Anae is among them. Anae may be my favorite pass-rushing prospect in this year’s class but is expected to go around the second or third round. Whichever team gets him in that range will
There is always more to a pitcher’s stat line than simply their ERA. Luck is a huge part of pitching, good or bad, and many things are out of a pitcher’s control such as team defense. Luckily, the Braves are a great defensive team, but a few of their pitchers had a stroke of good
