Hornets trade Ball to Timberwolves

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A person familiar with the situation says the Charlotte Hornets have agreed to trade point guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round draft pick, three first-round pick swaps and three future second-round picks. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal has yet to be approved by the league. ESPN was first to report the trade.

The three first-round pick swaps will be in 2028, 2029 and 2030. The Hornets also will get three second-round picks in 2029, 2032 and 2033.

Charlotte also agreed to a three-year, $74 million contract with point guard Coby White to replace Ball. White, who backed up Ball last year, was set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Cromwell leads at Travelers Championship

CROMWELL, Conn. — Eric Cole left the Travelers Championship early last year because of a nasty stomach issue. He returns with a 63 to take a one-shot lead.

Cole chipped in for eagle and played bogey-free on the rain-softened TPC River Highlands. Scottie Scheffler shot 64 for his best start since he won in California to start the year. Five others, including Matt Fitzpatrick, also shot 64.

Wyndham Clark says he had plenty of energy just four days after winning the U.S. Open. He hit one bad tee shot that led to a triple bogey. He shot 68 in front of a much nicer gallery.
