Mat Ishbia's Phoenix Suns purchase has been approved by the NBA board of governors. This purchase marks a new era for the Suns, as Ishbia has made several changes to the team's roster, front office, and business operations since taking over ownership. Ishbia has also put in place an innovative plan to improve the fan experience at Suns games, with the goal of creating a "world-class" basketball experience. With the NBA vote approving his purchase, Mat Ishbia's goal of transforming the Phoenix Suns from a middle-of-the-pack team into a championship contender looks closer than ever.

The St. Louis Cardinals have narrowed their search for a new head coach to three candidates. The list includes former Cardinals pitching coach Mike Maddux, former Boston Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo and Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Darnell Coles. All three candidates have extensive experience in the game of baseball and are highly respected within the industry. Maddux is a World Series champion as a pitching coach, Lovullo has been a part of multiple playoff teams and Coles was noted for his work with the Brewers offensive production this season. The Cardinals are expected to make their decision in the coming weeks.
