Caleb Williams is the most recognizable star in Chicago sports. That comes with carrying the mantle of a franchise savior at a time where Chicago's sports future is brighter than ever.
A look inside Williams' friendships with the city's biggest sports figures - from Pete Crow-Armstrong to Matas Buzelis - and how showing up for each other fuels their desire for greatness.

Nothing will change about how the Spurs navigate sky-high expectations coming off a surprising run to the Finals. The approach dates all the way back to coach Pop.

Tyrese Haliburton will play his first game in OKC since the 2025 Finals.
During his recovery from a torn Achilles, he would occasionally fire up some of his old highlights. He even watched some of that series. "Game 4 will forever live in my brain"

Tyrese Haliburton is back. And in a more competitive Eastern Conference, he's out to prove the Indiana Pacers can reclaim their spot at the top.
"He's so anxious to prove to people... He's like, 'I've been out 16 effing months. I'm ready to play.'

Hello from Ames, Iowa where Tyrese Haliburton is about to play his first game in 16 months for the Pacers’ preseason opener.
The line to get in the arena wraps around the arena. The fans in front of the line say they started lining up at 10.45pm last night

Jalen Duren's reps have made it clear to the Pistons that it’s no longer about the money, but that he feels disrespected by the process, particularly compared to how they handled Ausar Thompson's extension, along with weight clauses in earlier offers, sources tell @ShamsCharania.
All-NBA center Jalen Duren is not attending Detroit Pistons media day Monday nor the start of training camp, declining the team’s five-year, $200 million fully guaranteed offer in restricted free agency so far, sources tell ESPN. The sides remain at a stalemate ahead of Thursday deadline on a one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer.
Bulls announce the rest of their front office additions under Bryson Graham
This includes Stephen Mervis as Senior VP of Basketball Operations and Acie Law IV as VP of Player Personnel, which were announced earlier this summer
The Bulls made wholesale changes this summer, but above all, it's the arrival of Caleb Wilson that has led to renewed optimism in Chicago: espn.com/nba/story/_/id/4977…

Conversations with more than 20 stakeholders in and around the WNBA offer a general belief that for as much business growth as Cathy Engelbert has overseen, she's not the right person to navigate the demands the league currently faces and what its stakeholders now need.
"I do think Cathy thinks, well, she's done her job. She got us financially set up the right way. It's the other pieces that we're talking about."
