Hey NBA Fans, |
As we get closer to the start of the 2026-27 season, several tough roster decisions are looming. A former Los Angeles Lakers player has just found himself on the wrong end of one such call. Meanwhile, Steve Kerr has scheduled a meeting with a Warriors player who has missed crucial game time in recent weeks. |

Elon's new company is private. These 3 tickers aren't. |
|
|
The next Apple may already exist. Insider sources say Elon has spent two years building a secret device inside Tesla's facilities — one he claims will be "10x bigger than the largest product in history." |
There's just one problem: the company is private, and unless you know Elon personally, you can't buy a single share. That was true until Guardian's research team found three public ticker symbols sitting in the launch supply chain. |
Click here to see all 3 tickers, free of charge. |
You won't hear these names on CNBC — Wall Street hasn't published a word on the connection. But when the launch hits September 21, that quiet ends. |
Some are already calling this the biggest opportunity since AI. For anyone who missed Apple before the iPhone, this may be a second look at that kind of setup. |
Get the 3 ticker symbols here. |

Today’s highlight play is not an alley-oop or a slam dunk. It is a thumping block because it was that good. Brooks Barnhizer received a pass on a fast break but was straight-up denied by a lurking Asa Newell, who tracked his movement until the very last moment. |

The Thunder lost its third straight preseason game, first to the Pelicans, then the Bucks, and now the Hawks. Jock Landale was Atlanta’s top scorer with 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 16 points, going 4-for-7 from three. Meanwhile, Brooks Barnhizer led OKC with 20 points, but it wasn’t enough. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not play. |
The Nets are now 3-0 after beating the Wizards 131-122. Michael Porter Jr. scored 22 points, going 8-for-13 from the field and 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. On the other hand, Kyshawn George led the Wizards’ scoring with 21 points, followed by Bilal Coulibaly with 19. |
Anthony Edwards scored 26 points, and Jaden McDaniels had 22 as the Timberwolves beat the defending champions 122-104. Meanwhile, only one Knicks player reached 20 points, and that was Jalen Brunson. The next best was OG Anunoby at 15. |
The Jazz comfortably beat the Spurs by 10 points. Darryn Peterson led with a team-high 14 points, followed by Jaren Jackson Jr. and Keyonte George with 13 each. Every San Antonio starter, except Luke Kornet, reached double digits in points. Ja’Kobi Gillespie had a game-high 25 points off the bench, shooting 9-for-14 from the field and 4-for-8 from three, but it wasn’t enough. Victor Wembanyama did not play. |
