Sports Minute for Tuesday, June 23, 2026

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks (including No. 13 in Tuesday's NBA draft), one pick swap and one second-round pick. The Heat are sending to Milwaukee unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033 along with No. 13 in tonight's NBA draft, a pick swap in 2030 and a 2033 second-rounder, according to sources. 

This is one of the biggest moves in the NBA since Lebron James said he was going to start playing basketball in South Beach. The Boston Celtics were the other team to have interest in trading for Antetokounmpo and giving up Jaylen Brown, but missed out. The trade does not include any additional teams. Both the Heat and the Bucks will finalize the deal on July 6. 

 Heat president Pat Riley now makes his long-anticipated new landmark acquisition, with Antetokounmpo joining elite Miami pickups such as LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Bosh, Alonzo Mourning and Jimmy Butler over the past 30-plus years. Riley will pair the two-time NBA MVP and 2021 Finals MVP with Bam Adebayo to lead contention in the Eastern Conference. Boston is still ahead of Miami as having a better chance of winning the NBA. 

The third and decisive game of the College World Series didn't have much drama. Oklahoma destroyed North Carolina, 13-2, to capture the third national championship in program history and first since 1994. Kyle Branch of Oklahoma hit a home run and drove in six runs. With Oklahoma's win, the SEC has now won seven straight baseball national titles. 

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark blasted the officials Monday over a "ridiculous" technical foul during her team's 86-77 win over the Phoenix Mercury. Clark now has five technical fouls in 16 games this season, tied with Angel Reese for the most in the league. Players are automatically suspended for one game when they hit eight technical fouls. Clark received a technical for clapping. 

Clark has never been suspended in her WNBA career, but she has been close to the technical foul limit before. During her rookie season, when the limit was seven technical fouls, she had six. A big run by the Fever in the third quarter put Indiana up ahead for good. Clark finished the game with 24 points and nine assists on 8 of 17 shooting.
