🇬🇧 GB's Eurobasket Women QFs hopes come to an end

GB's Eurobasket Women run came to an end on Tuesday with a 66-60 loss at the hands of Serbia in the qualifier to the Quarter-Finals. The squad finished 1-3 but remained competitive throughout while picking up their only win over hosts Slovenia in the opener. With the loss, any hope of qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics has also been snuffed out.

🇺🇸 NBA Draft Day for Tosan Evbuomwan

We will be staying up tonight (or rather, waking up) to see whether Tosan becomes the next Brit in the NBA. If it happens, it's looking like late second round - so fingers crossed...in the meantime, you can keep up with his whole journey since declaring in our pre-draft timeline.

🔥 Second annual Hoopsfix Pro-Am underway

The Hoopsfix Pro-Am tipped off on Sunday at Brixton Rec - courtesy of Contested and Stance Socks (who legit saved us from having to cancel it after a late sponsor withdrawal). There were no less than 28 pros suiting up, plus 11 US college-athletes back for the summer - with the level expected to get better in the coming weeks. Check out the men's week 1 recap here, and the women's recap here.

That wraps up another drop, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else!

With gratitude,

Sam
