Sunisa Lee is well-known for her antics in the Tokyo Olympics. Earning an all-around gold medal in the absence of Simone Biles, Lee announced her entry to the gymnastics world in style. However, apart from that, Lee also has a separate identity. The US gymnast is an ardent fan of the New York Knicks. And while she has turned up to support the Knicks at Madison Square Garden multiple times, rumors have begun swirling. Lee has been linked to OG Anunoby and has even sparked dating rumors. Now, Lee has finally broken her silence on the same.

It all started as a joke, citing that Anunoby had a great performance whenever Lee was in attendance. Next up, things escalated further when the Olympic gold medalist was spotted talking with Anunoby. Soon, the internet went up with speculations that the two might have something beyond friendship. However, in a recent interaction with Mirror US Sports, Lee made it clear that she was just friends with Anunoby.

“Honestly, it just started off as a joke, and I feel like social media kind of just, like, took it further than that,But yeah, we’re just friends, and I’m really good friends with a bunch of the guys on the Knicks team,” said Lee.

The Olympic gold medalist also stated that she had a very close bond with Karl Anthony-Towns and Jordyn Woods. Meanwhile, with the Suni Lee factor getting hyped, an NBA insider recently suggested a bold move for the 28-year-old.

New York Knicks To Trade OG Anunoby?

The New York Knicks had one of the best seasons this year. Unfortunately, despite showing a lot of promise, the Knicks could not attain their goal of an NBA title. Thus, after the season ended, the Knicks are expected to make some notable modifications to their roster. NBA insider James Edwards III from ‘The Athletic’ proposed a bold tactic that the Knicks might follow. And it surely involved OG Anunoby.

“Bridges is asked to do a lot defensively, doesn’t miss games and moves the needle on offense as a third option. So, I don’t think it’s impossible for him to get traded if the two sides are off on extension talks… As for Anunoby, he might be the player rival teams want most if the Knicks attempt to make a big trade,” Edwards wrote.

Thus, with things looking quite interesting, it now remains to be seen what happens next.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
