NBA
The Pistons have traded guard Bruce Brown, Jr. to the Nets. In exchange, they get Džanan Musa and a 2021 second-round pick. Musa is 21 years old. He averaged five points per game off the bench for Brooklyn last season.
The Bucks were also busy yesterday. Reports say they’ve picked up point guard Jrue Holiday from the Pelicans, in exchange for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, three first-round picks and two additional draft choices.
In another deal, Milwaukee is reportedly sending Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova and D.J. Wilson to the Kings, in exchange for guard Bogdan Bogdanovic.
NFL
In last night’s NFL game, the Vikings held off the Bear 19-13. A late drive that could have won the game for Chicago stalled after quarterback Nick Foles was hit hard, and had to be taken off the field on a cart. After the game, Bears coach Matt Nagy said Foles’ right leg and hip were being evaluated. With backup Mitchell Trubisky nursing a shoulder injury, third-stringer Tyler Bray completed his first pass, but his next three were incomplete.

X-rays of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford’s throwing hand have shown no serious damage. Stafford said the hand was hurt during the first quarter of Sunday’s contest against Washington. He taped it up, and completed the game, but said he had trouble gripping the ball. In an interview yesterday, Stafford said he’s optimistic he’ll be able to play against the Panthers this Sunday.
