Free agent center Montrezl Harrell had a felony charge of marijuana trafficking reduced to a misdemeanor possession charge in a Madison County (Kentucky) Courthouse on Wednesday. The charge will be expunged from his record after 12 months if Harrell gets in no further legal trouble. Harrell, 28, was pulled over in Richmond, Kentucky, by a state trooper May 12 for driving behind a vehicle too closely. The trooper said he smelled marijuana and, after a search, discovered three pounds of marijuana in vacuum-sealed bags inside a backpack in the backseat.

In order for Kobe Baynes to play football for Kansas this season after his transfer from Louisville, he has to apply for, and be granted, a run-off waiver.
You may ask what that is. In principle, it’s not complicated — but it can be. #kufball

New Kansas offensive lineman Kobe Baynes will wear No. 70. Whether he can wear that in a game this season and not just in practice depends on whether the NCAA grants him a waiver that would allow him to play immediately. #kufball – 10:31 AM

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Wednesday honored the legendary Kobe Bryant by praising a game statistic that usually would not be celebrated. The NBA icon Abdul-Jabbar, 75, posted a tribute to the late, beloved Bryant on his Substack newsletter to remember his fellow Los Angeles Laker on 8/24, aka Kobe Bryant Day. -via People / August 24, 2022
To honor his friend on this year’s 8/24 (Bryant’s two NBA numbers), Abdul-Jabbar noted that others would likely focus on the obvious accolades and awards, but he wanted to highlight something different that Abdul-Jabbar found most impressive: “Kobe Bryant missed the most career field goals in NBA history. He missed 14,481 times.” Calling that stat “the foundation of his greatness as an athlete,” Abdul-Jabbar said what would otherwise be perceived as a negative flew in the face of what most athletes fear most: Losing. -via People / August 24, 2022
