SPORTS BRIEFING
BASKETBALL
Oregon men land commitment from Dior Johnson,
nation’s No. 3 overall recruit — Oregon has found its fu-
ture floor general. Dior Johnson, a five-star prospect who is
ranked as the nation’s No. 1 point guard recruit in the class
of 2022 — and No. 3 overall — according to 247Sports, an-
nounced his commitment to the Ducks Tuesday morning,
spurning a reported $1.2 million offer to play professionally
in the New Zealand Basketball League. The Saugerties, New
York, native spent last season at Centennial High in Lake-
wood, California. According to 247Sports, Johnson becomes
the second-highest-rated prospect to commit to the Oregon
basketball program.
Portland Trail Blazers coaching search pushes on —
The Portland Trail Blazers‘ coaching search has concluded
week two with no new developments having leaked or been
released. Coaching movement around the league, however,
could have an impact on the Blazers’ efforts to replace Terry
Stotts, who departed the franchise on June 4. After a week of
interviews, the search will head into a third weekend without
a new coach . The key names reportedly still linked to the job
remain Brooklyn assistant coach Mike D’Antoni, Los Angeles
Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups and San Antonio assis-
tant Becky Hammon.
Pistons win NBA draft lottery — The Detroit Pistons did
a lot of losing this season, finishing with the second-worst re-
cord in the NBA and the franchise’s worst record in nearly 30
years. It paid off. The Pistons won the NBA draft lottery on
Tuesday night, grabbing the No. 1 pick in the July 29 draft.
Houston will pick second, Cleveland will pick third, and To-
ronto will pick fourth. Orlando will get the No. 5 and No. 8
(from Chicago) selections, with Oklahoma City picking No. 6
and Golden State also with two lottery slots — No. 7, as part of
a trade with Minnesota, and the Warriors’ own pick at No. 14.
FOOTBALL
College Football Playoff presidents OK expansion
evaluation — The 11 university presidents and chancellors
who oversee the College Football Playoff authorized a contin-
ued evaluation of a proposed 12-team playoff on Tuesday that,
if eventually adopted, could still be another five years away.
The move by the CFP board of managers was a necessary step
to determine the feasibility of tripling the size of the playoff
field. The 12-team proposal was presented to the presidents
and chancellors after the 11-person panel that manages the
postseason system last week had its first meeting with every-
one in person. CFP chairman and Mississippi State University
President Mark Keenum said the next step is a summer re-
view phase.
BASEBALL
Oregon State’s Washburn enters transfer portal, will
leave program — Oregon State is losing a potentially im-
portant piece from next year’s pitching staff. Jack Washburn,
a freshman right-hander who filled a variety of roles for the
Beavers last season, has entered the transfer portal and plans
to leave, coach Mitch Canham said. The son of former Major
Leaguer Jarrod Washburn, Jack Washburn went 4-2 with a
3.12 ERA in 342/3 innings last season.

NBA
Continued from A5
The Bucks own a 5-0 home
playoff record this year and
have an overall playoff record
of 11-2 at Fiserv Forum.
The Bucks’ homecourt edge
could face its biggest test in
this series. The Hawks are 5-2
in road playoff games this sea-
son after going 2-1 at Madison
Square Garden and 3-1 at Phil-
adelphia.
Unfamiliar foes
The Bucks went 2-1 against
the Hawks in the regular sea-
son. They won the lone home
game and split two meetings in
Atlanta.
But it’s tough to read too
much into those matchups be-
cause the Hawks weren’t at full
strength for any of them.
Young and Clint Capela
didn’t play in the Hawks’ loss at
Milwaukee. Young also didn’t
play when the Hawks beat the
Bucks in Atlanta. The Hawks
didn’t have Collins available for
their loss in Atlanta. Pierce was
still coaching the Hawks when
they played at Milwaukee.
Skateboarding
Continued from A5
“It’s the freedom, the love
that brings us together, and
then the nonstop challenge, the
progression. Skateboarding is
the best.”
Huston is the most famous
face among the 12 U.S. Olym-
pians, who range from smil-
ing teenagers to accomplished
30-somethings of different
races, sexual orientations and
gender identifications.
They’ve all competed at their
sport’s highest level, and they’re
all eager to perform when
competition gets underway
July 25 at Ariake Urban Sports
Park.
Huston is joined by Jagger
Eaton and Jake Ilardi on the
men’s street team, while Ma-
riah Duran is teamed with
Alexis Sablone and Alana
Smith in the women’s street
competition. Bryce Wettstein,
Brighton Zeuner and Jordyn
Barratt are the U.S. women’s
park team, while Zion Wright,
Heimana Reynolds and Cory
Juneau comprise the men’s
park team.
Frank Franklin II/AP
Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant (7) defends against Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo during Game 7
of a second-round playoff series on Saturday in New York.
“It’s the freedom, the love
that brings us together,
and then the nonstop
challenge, the progression.
Skateboarding is the best.”
— Nyjah Huston, U.S. Olympic
skateboarding team member
The group was appropriately
unveiled in Southern Califor-
nia, where the sport was in-
vented roughly 70 years ago
in the parks, streets, plazas
and empty swimming pools of
20th-century America’s sun-
shine wonderland.
Decades after the likes of
Tony Hawk, Mark Gonzales
and Rodney Mullen carried
this charismatic pastime into
worldwide competition and
capitalism, skateboarding has
reached the pinnacle of sports.
Josh Friedberg, a lifelong
skater who now serves as USA
Skateboarding’s CEO, teared
up repeatedly Monday, both
before and after he introduced
the team.
“I think the weight of what
we’ve accomplished is finally
sinking in,” Friedberg said. “It
was an overwhelming and ex-
hilarating day to be here, to
have the chance to work on
something since you were 13
years old, and to finally have
the chance to share that with
the world.”
While the skaters all seemed
thrilled by the spotlight trained
on skateboarding, the Amer-
ican team also reflected the
slight ambivalence among
many lifelong skaters still ad-
justing to the Olympics’ wel-
coming inclusion of their
beloved sport while it’s still
frowned upon or outright
criminalized in large public
parts of the world — and while
many skaters still don’t warm
to the competitive aspects of
what they consider a friendly,
communal lifestyle pursuit, not
a cutthroat athletic endeavor.
Some longtime skaters are
still conflicted about how
skateboarding’s welcoming
ethos fits into the competitive
Olympic framework — and
that includes the 34-year-old
Sablone, who is also an archi-
tect and artist living in New
York.
“I never, ever would have
expected this,” Sablone said.
“Skateboarding is about free-
dom and all that stuff. In some
ways, it’s not about competi-
tion, but here we are. ... It’s not
something I ever predicted, but
it’s an incredible honor to be
here doing this.”
Sablone noted that the
sport’s tradition of free expres-
sion and individuality shone
through even in the U.S. skat-
ers’ choice of kits for their un-
veiling: Given several items
of Team USA gear to choose
from, all 12 skaters picked a
unique look.
“Skateboarding has always
been a home for me,” said the
20-year-old Smith, who be-
came the youngest medalist
in X Games history in 2013.
“Growing up in not a very
good household, the people
that I’ve met through skate-
boarding have been my rocks.
Every time I needed some-
thing, skateboarding was al-
ways there for me. I started all
this at the lowest point, and I
would like to say that this is
one of my highs, and I get to
do it with really great people.”
