In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history.

In 1930, Sam Greenlee, American author and poet (died 2014) was born. In 1934, Peter Gzowski, Canadian journalist and academic (died 2002) was born. In 1959, Richard Leman, English field hockey player was born. In 1970, Andrei Tivontchik, German pole vaulter and trainer was born. In 1984, Faf du Plessis, South African professional cricketer was born. In 1985, Trell Kimmons, American sprinter was born. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.

LeBron James, 41, to Leave Lakers as He Eyes Next Chapter
Jason Miller / Getty ImagesLeBron James is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons. The NBA superstar informed the team that he plans to continue his career elsewhere and will enter free agency this summer. Despite retirement rumors, the 41-year-old is expected to return for a record 24th NBA season. During his time in Los Angeles, he helped lead the Lakers to the 2020 NBA championship, earned Finals MVP honors, and became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. He averaged 25.9 points, 7.9 assists, and 7.7 rebounds during his Lakers tenure while earning multiple All-Star and All-NBA selections. The Lakers reportedly remained interested in bringing James back, but the franchise has increasingly shifted its focus toward building around Luka Dončić, who joined in a 161,000,000 trade in 2025. James has not announced where he will play next, but the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers are among the teams already being mentioned as potential landing spots.Read it at ESPNRead more at The Daily Beast.

Bucks Privately Told Teams At Deadline They Did Not Expect To Trade Giannis Antetokounmpo
When the Milwaukee Bucks engaged in Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks with rival teams leading to the trade deadline, sources with the team insist they were transparent that they were unlikely to move forward with a deal at that time unless they were blown away by an offer. The Bucks chose to wait until the offseason under the belief that more teams would enter the bidding and that offers would improve. While the Boston Celtics entered trade talks in the offseason, teams like the New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets remained on the sidelines. The Bucks were ultimately left with a decision between the Celtics and Miami Heat, who had gained the most traction on a trade in February. Sources tell ESPN that the Heat improved their offer in June from where it was in June with the inclusion of the No. 13 overall pick in the draft. The Celtics, meanwhile, offered Jaylen Brown and two first round picks as their package for Antetokounmpo.
