Just one day after announcing his retirement, John Wall already has his next gig: NBA analyst on Prime. The five-time All-Star and former No. 1 overall pick announced his retirement on Tuesday, then was introduced Wednesday as part of Amazon’s new NBA coverage team. Wall spent nine of his 11 seasons with the Washington Wizards, where he became one of the league’s top point guards before injuries slowed his career. He still insists his jersey belongs in the rafters at Capital One Arena, a nod to his impact on the franchise. Now, Wall begins his next chapter in broadcasting as Prime Video expands its NBA slate with weekly national games.

Tyrese Haliburton is leaving a lasting mark on Oshkosh North High School athletics with a multimillion-dollar gift funding major upgrades—including a new scoreboard, video board, and revamped weight room. Back in his hometown, the Indiana Pacers guard announced the gift while hosting his second annual free basketball camp for 200+ kids and helping dedicate the school’s Frank Schade Fieldhouse. Haliburton, who won a state championship there in 2018 and celebrated another big title this summer, has a photo of his high school championship team displayed courtside alongside a banner honoring him as Wisconsin’s Player of the Year. Even sidelined rehabbing from Achilles surgery, Haliburton remains deeply connected to Oshkosh North, and showing pride in the place where his hoop journey began.
