Grant Napear spent 31 years calling Sacramento Kings games. Then one tweet blew up his career. A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that Bonneville International Corp. was within its rights to fire the longtime Kings announcer after he responded to former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins with an “All Lives Matter” message during the nationwide protests following George Floyd’s death.
Napear was off work in May 2020 and watching coverage of the protests when Cousins, a Black former Kings star then playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, asked him on Twitter, now known as X: “What’s your take on BLM?” Napear replied that he was glad to hear from Cousins, then wrote: “ALL LIVES MATTER … EVERY SINGLE ONE!!!” That was enough to cost him both of his broadcasting jobs. Bonneville, which employed Napear as a KTHK radio host and the Kings’ play-by-play announcer, suspended him the next day and fired him one day later.
Napear spent the next five years podcasting before returning to radio last August as a daily host on Fox Sports Radio in Sacramento. He had also faced controversy for defending disgraced former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling and later calling former broadcast partner Doug Christie a “coward” for not defending him after his 2020 firing.
An Acclaro Medical employee was fired just more than a week after sending Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby a racist text. Fans quickly identified the employee after Hamby posted a screenshot of the text, with the sender's phone number, on social media on Aug. 24. Acclaro Medical confirmed to USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday, Sept. 1, that the employee is no longer with the company. The employee had originally been "suspended while an investigation is being conducted," Acclaro Medical told USA TODAY on Aug. 25. In a statement shared on social media, the company said "it condemns racism, harassment, hate speech and discriminating behavior in all forms" and the online remarks "do not in any way reflect the values and standards of the Company."

Kyle Singler is raising serious alarms after the former NBA player and Duke basketball star posted a series of unhinged videos to Instagram ... targeting his iconic college coach.
A disheveled and rambling Singler is wandering around his place ... saying he has nothing to his name -- and claims he was brushed off when he reached out to Mike Krzyzewski. In one of the three posts -- there are four total, but two are the same -- Singler says Coach K "set me up," and when he reached out for help, he was "benched."
Former NBA guard Delonte West, a beloved figure who has faced difficult years since leaving the league, is stepping into a new arena, and he's getting a hand from one of the biggest names in streaming.

Kevin Durant: I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine…. a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom.
