The upcoming season for the Boston Celtics is likely to be a critical one in their current arc of contention. When the team traded veteran point guard Marcus Smart and backup big man Mike Muscala to bring in then-Washington Wizards star center Kristaps Porzingis, the roster’s vaunted depth took a hit. That was compounded by the exit of reserve forward Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks in restricted free agency. Now, the frontcourt has an older Al Horford, oft-injured Robert Williams III and a dinged Oshae Brissett to worry about. Porzingis is already nursing a bout of plantar fasciitis back to health. And don’t forget about Malcolm Brogdon, the still-healing reserve floor general. Fans are getting nervous, and rightfully so. The hosts of the “Locked On NBA” podcast recently took a deep dive into this most critical of Celtics seasons with depth and injury concerns in mind.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
