U.S.A. – The Bahamas is represented at the FIBA Youth Development program (YDP) and The Grind Session (TGS) Elite Camp by rising high school prospect Chris Brown Jr.

Brown is one of 28 Elite International prospects at the camp hosted at DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Brought together to train, compete, and gain exposure under world-class coaching the event will not only challenge with high-level competition but also offer life skill instruction and a glimpse into the college basketball experience.

Brown, a 6-10 sophomore at Dream City Christian Academy in Arizona, has rapidly become a sought-after recruit in the Class of 2027.

After standout showings on the Nike EYBL circuit, he received scholarship offers from New Mexico, San Diego, Texas-San Antonio, New Mexico, and the Houston Cougars –the defending national runner-up.

Earlier this year, brown was also invited to the Nike elite top 100 camp and Basketball without Borders America.

The event is streamed live on the FIBA YouTube channel and the grind session’s social platforms.

MLB

New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Thursday night’s 8-4 win over the Houston Astros after suffering contusions to both knees on separate plays.

He first aggravated his right knee in the second inning while fielding a ground ball off the bat of Ramón Urías.

In the third, his left knee collided with the helmet of Jose Altuve on a stolen base attempt that Chisholm successfully tagged out.

He remained in the game to bat in the fourth, striking out against Cristian Javier, but was replaced in the field the next half inning by José Caballero.

Despite the injury, he was optimistic that it was a minor setback, once no tears or ligament damage was confirmed.

Beginning tonight, the Yankees host the Toronto Blue Jays in a crucial American League East matchup and they need all hands on deck.
