Lacrosse is booming so much in Saskatchewan after the Rush came to town that the city’s having a problem servicing all the interest for lacrosse space for clinics and games.

An “explosion” of interest in lacrosse since the Saskatchewan Rush came to town last year highlights the need for dedicated lacrosse space in the city, says the man who coordinates “try lacrosse” clinics for the Saskatchewan Lacrosse Association.

“We’re at the point where, after this, we need more facility space. Even this year we’ll put pressure on the facilities that we’re utilizing to be able to accommodate the demand,” said Neil Hruska.

What’s Up, Philly?

New Orleans got Boogie but Same Hinkie the Sixers are the real winners of the last night’s Sacramento & New Orleans trade.

So why are Sixers fans celebrating the deal? Thanks to a 2015 trade by then-general manager Sam Hinkie that sent the rights to Arturas Gudaitis and Luka Mitrovic to the Kings, the Sixers received Nik Stauskas, Carl Landry and Jason Thompson, acquired a future first-round pick and earned the right to swap first-round picks with the Kings in both 2016 and 2017.
The Sixers didn't swap picks in 2016, and the pick swap looked to lose some value this season on the back of a recent win streak by the Kings. But without Cousins, Sacramento is likely to lose steam over the remaining 25 games, increasing the chances of the Sixers ending up with a top-3 pick in the 2017 NBA draft.
