Building on last week's injury reporting updates amid gambling scandals, the NBA discussed new measures at its Board of Governors meeting to deter tanking by teams seeking better draft picks. Proposals include curbing protections on traded picks and locking lottery standings after March 1, balancing competitive integrity with legitimate rebuilding.
The New York Mets and Boston Red Sox have set their sights on the 2026 MLB Draft following the lottery results. The Mets dropped to the 27th overall pick due to a penalty, while the Red Sox hold the 20th position. Both teams are evaluating top prospects to bolster their rosters.
