The NBA's Board of Governors approved new changes to the draft lottery system to reduce tanking, where teams lose on purpose to get better draft picks.

Major League Baseball owners have proposed a salary cap for the first time since 1994, aiming to limit team spending starting in 2027. The players’ union opposes this plan, which could lead to a strike and affect future baseball seasons.
Key Facts
MLB owners proposed a salary cap limiting team payroll to $245.3 million in 2027.
A payroll floor of $171.2 million would also be set, requiring teams to spend at least this amount.
The proposal includes a plan to share local media revenue equally among all teams and split it 50/50 with players.
The current highest payrolls far exceed the proposed cap, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers at $415.2 million.
MLB owners suggest allowing a phased approach for teams to meet the cap gradually.
All current player contracts would remain guaranteed under the new system.
The existing MLB collective bargaining agreement expires in December 2026.
A strike or lockout could occur if negotiations fail, potentially cancelling games and impacting revenues.
The luxury tax, intended to control spending since 2003, has been ineffective for top-spending teams.
