The 76ers are scrambling for a backup center after Ariel Hukporti’s season‑ending Achilles injury. Reports suggest Dallas could waive 24‑year‑old Moussa Cissé, a rim‑running, shot‑blocking big who would likely clear waivers and could sign a two‑way deal with Philadelphia—though the Lakers, Chicago, and Atlanta are also interested. The Mavericks opted to waive veteran Dwight Powell instead, leaving Cissé’s status uncertain. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid is healthy for opening night, Adem Bona is day‑to‑day returning from foot surgery, and the Sixers have small‑ball options in Jabari Walker and Dean Wade. With roster flexibility looming after Dec. 4, the team may still explore trades or a minimum‑salary free‑agent center.
The Dallas Mavericks waive veteran center Dwight Powell on Oct. 19, ending his 12-season tenure just two days before the season opener. Powell, the only player on a non‑fully guaranteed deal, ranks fifth in franchise games (763) and holds top‑10 spots in rebounds, blocks and field‑goal percentage. He contributed to the Mavericks' 2024 NBA Finals run and started all 18 playoff games in the 2021‑22 Western Conference finals. Despite a recent one‑year, partially guaranteed contract and preseason appearances, roster constraints forced the move. Mavericks president Masai Ujiri praised Powell’s professionalism and community impact, while coach Dusty May lauded his on‑court leadership. Powell clears waivers Wednesday, ahead of the season tip‑off at Houston.
The Dallas Mavericks waive veteran center Dwight Powell on Oct. 19, 2026, just before the NBA roster deadline. Powell, who re‑signed on a partially guaranteed one‑year deal, would have cost Dallas $1.5 M if he made the opening‑night roster, but the team chose to keep all fully guaranteed contracts, including the $2.2 M deal for Moussa Cissé. Powell spent 12 seasons with Dallas, appearing in 763 games with averages of 6.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and a 60.5% shooting rate, and contributed to the 2022 Western Conference finals and 2024 NBA Finals runs. If unclaimed, he clears waivers the same day the Mavericks open the season against the Houston Rockets.
The Dallas Mavericks cut veteran center Dwight Powell to meet the 15‑player roster limit for the regular season, waiving him on October 19, 2026. Powell, the franchise’s longest‑tenured player after 12 years since a 2014 trade, had re‑signed on a minimum deal with a $1 million guarantee that would have risen to $1.5 million if he made the opening night roster. He posted 3.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 63 games last season and appeared in three of four preseason contests. If unclaimed, he becomes an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday. The move also clears space after waiving guards Seth Lundy and John Poulakidas, leaving the Mavs with 15 standard contracts and two two‑way deals.
The Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys 23‑13 on Sunday Night Football despite a disastrous first‑down performance. On 27 first‑down plays, the Packers gained yards on only five, posting an 18.5% success rate and often facing long‑yard situations. Quarterback Jordan Love salvaged the game, throwing for 276 yards and a touchdown while adding a rushing score, converting 65% of third‑ and fourth‑down attempts. The run game also struggled, netting just 25 yards on first downs. Love’s heroics and a resilient offense turned a likely lower‑scoring outcome into a solid win.
Jason Robertson’s future with the Dallas Stars became one of the NHL offseason’s biggest talking points after player and club could not agree to a long-term contract extension.

After losing to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football and falling to 2-4, the Dallas Cowboys are left searching for answers.
The Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys 23-13 on Oct. 18, 2026, but a scary knee knock to tight end Tucker Kraft threatened the win. After a low tackle, Kraft limped to the medical tent, yet he returned to the field, easing fans’ worries. Kraft has posted 212 receiving yards and a touchdown in the first six games, serving as a key option alongside Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. His health remains crucial as the Packers push deeper into the season.
Here are the biggest winners and losers from the Dallas Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
The Dallas Cowboys suffered another brutal and disgraceful loss, this time to the Packers, but now it's time for coaches and players to lose their jobs.
On Sunday Night Football the Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys 23-13, extending the Cowboys' winless streak against Green Bay to eight games (11‑1‑1 in the last 13 meetings). After the loss, cameras captured Jordan Love waiting for the usual post‑game handshake, only to see Dak Prescott sprint past him toward the locker room. Prescott, who threw two interceptions, later apologized and warned his team to fix the defensive collapses that have cost them 24 points and 419 yards to Tampa Bay and 23 points and 303 yards to Green Bay this season. Dallas now sits 2‑4 in the NFC East, trailing the Giants and tied with the Eagles.
During NBC’s Cowboys‑Packers game, Cris Collinsworth publicly urged that retiring quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a four‑time MVP set to exit after the 2026 season, should transition to broadcasting. Collinsworth compared Rodgers to John McEnroe’s candid tennis commentary, sparking surprise from co‑anchor Mike Tirico. With CBS’s Tony Romo out and ESPN’s Monday Night Football duo Joe Buck/Troy Aikman facing contract uncertainty, multiple networks are eyeing Rodgers for high‑profile analyst roles. Reports also discuss potential successors like Greg Olsen, Peyton or Eli Manning, and Russell Wilson, underscoring a looming reshuffle in NFL TV booths.

Frank Nazar has started strong, but the Blackhawks' loss to Dallas raises questions about Chicago's $46 million investment and its offensive future.
The Atlanta Hawks are interested in Dallas' Moussa Cisse, despite not having any available roster room.
The Packers’ defense, led by coordinator Jonathan Gannon, shines after back‑to‑back wins over Chicago and Dallas. In a 23‑13 victory on September 24, Gannon’s aggressive zone blitzes forced multiple turnovers, including two first‑half interceptions, limiting Dak Prescott’s offense despite a full‑strength Cowboys lineup. The defense has now allowed 14 points or fewer in three straight games—the first such streak since 2016—while the offense, though plagued by drops and penalties, improved its third‑down conversion to 11‑of‑18, moving from 32nd to 25th rank. If the Packers tighten up execution, they could exceed a seventh‑seed playoff run.
The latest Fall Thread recaps the Predators' recent home stand, where they earned three of six possible points and sit tied with Dallas for sixth in the Central Division—four points behind the leader and three ahead of the cellar. After a four‑day break, Minnesota heads on the road to face Boston and Pittsburgh before returning home. The post outlines the team's current position and upcoming schedule, offering a quick snapshot for fans tracking the playoff race.
The Dallas Cowboys fell 24-13 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, delivering their lowest‑scoring output of the season (13 points). Dak Prescott threw two interceptions and struggled against the Packers’ zone cover, while the O‑line failed to protect him and open lanes for the run. The unit went 0‑7 on third down, and the defense lacked a pass rush, allowing Jordan Love ample time. Highlights included a lone defensive pick by Dee Winters and a promising performance from rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr., but missed opportunities and controversial replay calls marred the effort.
There is no direct flight to Hollywood for Moussa Cisse, but the Los Angeles Lakers are certainly interested in landing the Dallas Mavericks center.
The Packers improve to 4‑2 with a 23‑13 win over the Cowboys, thanks to a booming aerial attack highlighted by second‑year receiver Matthew Golden’s 104 yards and a TD. Yet their ground game remains historic‑odd: the team has failed to post a 50‑yard rusher in any of its first six games, a feat only matched by Green Bay squads in 1935 and 1941. With running back Josh Jacobs returning from exemption for Week 7, the Packers hope to balance their potent passing with a revived rushing threat.
The Dallas Cowboys had a lot of weight on their shoulders. Not only did they have to win a game, coming in 2-3 to stay active in the playoff race, but they also had to win it without suffering any more injuries. Unfortunately, the Green Bay Packers game only added to that tally. “Brian Schottenheimer […]

Golden posted 104 yards and a TD, marking his third 100‑yard game, while Watson added 64 yards and six total touchdowns on the season. Their emergence validates Matt LaFleur’s receiver plan despite offseason departures and injuries, positioning Green Bay’s duo among the NFL’s elite.
