He also took the season points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott.
NBA
— Luka Doncic has agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers. Doncic is bypassing a chance at free agency next summer.

NFL
— Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones does not intend to trade Micah Parsons after the star defensive end said he wants to leave the team amid a breakdown in negotiating a contract extension. Parsons remains at training camp after writing on social media Friday to request a trade, where he has yet to practice because of a back injury.
— The NFL and ESPN are expected to announce an agreement that would give the league an equity stake in the sports network. People familiar with the transaction called it a multibillion-dollar deal. The NFL has been trying to sell its media properties for nearly five years. ESPN would gain access to the RedZone channel, NFL Network and additional games. ESPN plans to launch a direct-to-consumer service soon, offering access to all its programs for $29.99 per month.
— The Washington Commanders’ plan to return to the site of their former home at RFK Stadium has cleared another significant hurdle. The District of Columbia Council approved legislation on Friday, but it still needs a second approval before reaching Mayor Muriel Bowser. The Commanders, currently playing in Maryland, look to open a new venue by 2030. The ownership group has been exploring locations in Washington, Maryland and Virginia since buying the team in 2022. Congress transferred the RFK Stadium land to the city in January, paving the way for redevelopment.
WNBA
— A group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has reached a deal to buy the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun for a record $325 million and move the team to Boston. The franchise wouldn’t play in Boston until the 2027 season. Pagliuca also would contribute $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston for the team. The sale is pending approval of the league and its board of governors.
