Carolina Hurricanes Owner Tom Dundon Agrees to Buy the Portland Trail Blazers for $4 Billion

According to ESPN and Sportico, Tom Dundon—owner of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes—has reached a tentative agreement to purchase the Portland Trail Blazers from the Paul G. Allen estate at a valuation exceeding $4 billion. Key points: Dundon is leading an investor group that includes Marc Zahr and Portland-based Sheel Tyle. Despite change in ownership, the Blazers will remain in Portland, much to local fans' relief. The sale still needs approval from the NBA’s Board of Governors, and the value reflects the rapidly appreciating worth of NBA franchises in recent years. What does this mean for the Blazers’ future and the league’s landscape as a whole? #NBA #TrailBlazers #Portland #SportsBusiness #NBANews #Sports

According to Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets assistant is finalizing a deal with New York, with terms negotiated between the Knicks and Tyler Glass of CSE Talent. This marks a return to the franchise for Jent, who has built a lengthy coaching résumé since his playing days. Jent’s career includes assistant coaching stints across the NBA, stops in the G League, and work with college programs. His experience and familiarity with the league could provide valuable support for Mike Brown as the Knicks aim to make a deep playoff push. #NBA #Knicks #Hornets #ChrisJent #MikeBrown #NBANews #Sports

Jayson Tatum’s Recovery Is Turning Heads After Achilles Injury

Jayson Tatum was expected to miss the entire 2025–26 season after suffering an Achilles tear in the Eastern Conference Semis vs. the Knicks. But reports out of Chris Paul’s CP3 Elite Camp in Las Vegas are raising some eyebrows. One scout told Celtics reporter Steve Bulpett: "I’ve seen guys come back from Achilles tears, and he looked way ahead. I was kind of shocked to see how well he was moving." Tatum didn’t do any running or jogging, but looked to be in great shape and handled all the camp drills with no trouble. While there’s still no official timetable, it sounds like Tatum’s progress is ahead of schedule, and a late-season return might not be out of the question. #Celtics #JaysonTatum #NBAInjury #AchillesRecovery #NBANews #Sports #NBA
