Malachi Smith, the Gonzaga guard who lit up the NBA floor in brief stints with the Brooklyn Nets, has officially joined the Toronto Raptors — the very team he last faced in a gritty, high-octane showdown. Though contract details remain under wraps, his impact was undeniable: averaging 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists while shooting lights-out from deep, including a near-triple-double against Milwaukee. His final game for Brooklyn? A 43-minute marathon against the Raptors themselves, where he delivered 8-6-5. Before suiting up in Brooklyn, Smith carved his name in G League history across multiple teams and earned WCC Sixth Man honors at Gonzaga — now, he’s back on the court, this time wearing the Raptors’ colors.

Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price is making strides toward returning to the field, participating fully in Monday’s practice — his most significant work in over a week despite lingering lower-body soreness. Running with the first-team offense in a non-contact session, Price shows strong progress as coach Mike Macdonald follows a cautious “return-to-play” plan, with full contact possibly coming as early as Tuesday or during upcoming joint practices with Tennessee. With Zach Charbonnet sidelined and Emanuel Wilson out, the running back room has been thin, prompting roster moves including waiving players and signing Anthony Hankerson. The team’s adjusted practice schedule — featuring a longer Monday session — reflects strategic planning, not just post-loss reaction, while Macdonald praised improved team meetings and communication.

Explosives tore through Portland’s century-old Centennial Mills on Monday, sending its water tower crashing down in a thunderous blast heard citywide—two weeks after a devastating fire. The perfectly executed demolition drew hundreds of spectators, while crews now move to dismantle the rest with heavy machinery. Though the building was already fire-damaged, it held firm during the controlled blast, easing fears for officials who had backup plans. The fire’s cause remains under investigation, and human remains may be among the debris. With coordination across agencies and lingering dust concerns, this marks the first major explosive demolition in Portland in decades—and authorities are already learning from the public communication hiccups.
