According to reports fromESPNandYahoo Sports, the 19-year-old athlete was arrested early in the morning on Saturday, July 12, in Lee County, Ala., where Auburn is located. A source told ESPN that he was released about midday. According to jail records, he posted bond in the amount of $1,000. "We are aware of the situation, and we will handle it internally with Tahaad and his family," Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl told PEOPLE in a statement. "We take these matters seriously and will learn and grow from it moving forward." Pettiford, a recent contender for the Southeastern Conference's Player of the Year, recently withdrew from the 2025 NBA Draft.

I see myself being a higher pick next year. It wasn't 100% this year, so I didn't want to take that chance." "Being a short guard, it won't be easy to play in the league, but I know I can do it. It's maybe not the right time," he added.

Cooper Flagg appears to be as good as advertisedNew Foto - Cooper Flagg appears to be as good as advertised

LAS VEGAS — It's just Summer League, keep repeating it. It's not the regular season, nowhere near it, but if Cooper Flagg struggled again, it would be cause for concern on some levels.The No. 1 pick, though, looked mighty comfortable in his second Summer League game Saturday— and probably his last one here in Las Vegas. It took a quarter and a half to find his rhythm but a flurry followed: walk-up triples, dunks in transition, dunks in traffic. All in all,the showdown between the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick Dylan Harperwas as good as it was expected to be, even if it wasn't advertised on the same level as Flagg's debut against the Los Angeles Lakers — and Bronny James. As a hyped American prospect with plenty of expectations and a likely target on his back to go along with the hope in his eyes, Flagg seems ready for the weight that will follow him — on and off the floor. "Same thing going into college, same expectations, same people talking about you," Flagg said. This is different, this is the Show, and he seems well aware of what's expected of him. He's passing these preliminary tests thus far. Flagg finished with 31 points and four rebounds against a physical defense that followed him from the point the ball was inbounded to him, while Harper wasn't exactly a slouch himself with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 monster block in transition. DYLAN HARPER GOT UP FOR THE BLOCK 🔼(via@NBATV)pic.twitter.com/QNU1nwBPqf — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports)July 12, 2025 The only demerit on Flagg's performance was missing five of his 13 free-throw attempts in his 31 minutes. And if one cares about such things, the San Antonio Spurs did defeat the Mavericks, 76-69. The Mavericks fans in attendance couldn't care less about the final score, because once Flagg was pulled in the final minute, he was given a rousing ovation, and the fans weren't too far behind as they headed for the exits. They'd gotten their money's worth. "I got to the line a little bit better today, so missed a bunch of free throws," Flagg said. "You know, I know my mom probably wasn't very happy with that." In the front row of the Thomas & Mack stands sat several members of the Dallas Mavericks brain trust, starting with team architect Nico Harrison and head coach Jason Kidd. They probably had to cover their mouths with laughter at some of the plays Flagg was making and the luck they've stumbled into, getting this level of talent following the season they had. They are probably not concerned about missed free throws, not in the least. Kidd made it known he wanted Flagg to play point guard in Summer League, to see how Flagg would fare in an uber-physical environment. Kidd did the same with Giannis Antetokounmpo when Antetokounmpo made his jump from raw athlete to polished freak of nature, and Kidd wants Flagg on a similar track, but quicker. Mavericks Summer League coach Josh Broghamer made note that in 60 minutes through two games, Flagg has committed just three turnovers. "I mean, I would say that's pretty good, especially with the ball pressure and, you know, Summer League spacing and all that stuff," Broghamer said. "We haven't knocked shots down here two games, and that's gonna allow people to be more aggressive against him. And he's handled it really, really well." The Mavericks signed D'Angelo Russell to serve as their point guard, especially as Kyrie Irving recovers from ACL surgery and is expected to miss most, if not all, of next season. But Flagg seems ready as a secondary playmaker to handle those duties, if two summer games are any indication. "I think I was pretty solid," Flagg said. "I think I was able to handle the ball against pressure and bring it up. So just depending on different matchups and what coach wants to, I think I did a solid job, for sure." Nobody's getting too far ahead, but it bears repeating time and again: Flagg's not even 19 yet, even as his basketball development hits the fast-forward button. "It's a new environment, new setting," Flagg said. "They want to see me be aggressive and do that type of stuff, so I was trying my best to just be aggressive and assert myself." It's just Summer League. Keep repeating it. But it's OK to look forward with wonderment.

TheJames Gunn-directed film premiered in theaters on July 11, with a cast of fresh faces as DC Universe's superheroes and villains. Though fans ofHenry Cavillwere originally disappointed to learn thathe wouldn't be reprisingthe titular role,David Corenswethasreceived praisefor his take on the Man of Steel, made classic in 1978 by the iconicChristopher Reeve. During a special trailer preview event in December 2024, Gunn shared why Corenswet was tapped for the role, praising his "Superman face" and undeniable connection to the character. "The thing I think that connects him so much in some ways to Christopher Reeve is he has a lot of deep training," the screenwriter said. "I've never worked in my entire life with such a rigorous actor. He challenged me on a daily basis to really get the most out of his character, get the most out of his story." While the movie featured classicSupermancharacters (like Lois Lane and Lex Luthor), characters from all across the DC Universe — including Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl — were also spotlighted. From Superman to Lois Lane and Hawkgirl, here's a side-by-side look at the cast of 2025'sSupermanand the actors who famously brought these characters to life.

The character first leaped from a comic book page onto the screen in 1948, brought to life by Kirk Alyn in a 15-episode film serial. Three years later, Superman made his feature-film debut, played by George Reeves, setting the stage for a legacy of actors who would wear the cape for decades. After Reeve took on the role in 1978, he starred in severalSupermansequels and earned additional acclaim for his role in 1980'sSomewhere in Time. As for the newest Clark Kent, Corenswet is best known for his performances inThe PoliticianandHollywood.

He was also namedBaseball America's High School Player of the Year. If Holliday pans out anywhere close to his brother, Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday, he'll likely be on a fast-track to MLB given his obvious talent despite his young age. Here's everything to know of Holliday, who has a chance at going No. 1 overall on Sunday, July 13: Here are the latest projections for where Holliday might fall in the 2025 MLB Draft: USA TODAY Sports:First round, No. 1 overall to Washington Nationals ESPN:First round, No. 4 overall to Colorado Rockies MLB.com:First round, No. 4 overall to Colorado Rockies The Athletic:First round, No. 4 overall to Colorado Rockies Here are Holliday's senior season stats: 2025:.661 batting average with 19 home runs and 64 RBIs, along with a 2.038 OPS and 1.295 slugging percentage.

Holliday's uncle, Josh Holliday, is also the head coach at Oklahoma State, where Holliday was committed. Jackson was also committed there before being drafted, and Matt played there.

Here are Holliday's scouting grades,according to MLB Pipeline: Hit:50 Power:65 Run:50 Arm:55 Field:50 Overall:60 MLB Pipelinesays this about Holliday: "Holliday may have the most usable left-handed power in the Draft and he generates it with little effort. Still adding to his 6-foot-4 frame, he already has plenty of strength and an easy left-handed swing with plenty of bat speed and leverage. ... he should develop into at least an average hitter with 35-homer pop and plenty of walks."

How do MLB scouting grades work? Explaining how players are evaluated ahead of draftNew Foto - How do MLB scouting grades work? Explaining how players are evaluated ahead of draft

Unlike other professional sports,MLBhas an industry standard scale used to evaluated players. Whether it's their tools or skills, players are rated based on a scale from 20-80 on myriad categories — from power to fielding to speed, for example. Fans might hear analysts use the word plus when it comes to player evaluation, which typically starts at a 60 grade for the respective tool or skill. Plus-plus, for example, is how evaluators express a 70-grade tool. REQUIRED READING:MLB mock draft 2025: Who's going No. 1? Final breakdown of top prospects Earning an 80 grade is beyond rare, as some scouts view an 80 grade as the best in the sport, such as Shohei Ohtani's power, Aroldis Chapman's fastball or Chandler Simpson's game-breaking speed. A 50 grade is seen as average, whereas 55 is slightly above-average. Here's a full explanation of how scouting grades work in baseball ahead of the MLB draft: While scouting grades may differ slightly across scouting services, media and individual teams, they all follow the same scale. Players are evaluated on each individual tool from a scale of 20-80, with 20 being poor and 80 being one of, if not the best, in the sport. Grades are usually based on what the player will eventually develop into rather than where they stand at the time of being drafted or early on in their professional career. Players are also evaluated with an overall score, with players rated 60 or better usually seen as those who can develop into impactful MLB players, or even All-Stars. It's important to note that while the scouting grades are used by virtually all of baseball, not every organization or scout gives players the same grades. There's also not an exact science to what grade indicates future success. For example, some teams or organizations may be more reluctant to handing out 70 or 80 grades, saving those grades for the most elite players in that category they've seen. Some, however, may be more willing to give players high-end grades. Here's a look at the scouting grades scale and what they mean,as defined by MLB. 20-30:Well below average 40:Below average 50:Average 60:Above average 70-80:Well above average To compare how different scouting services use scouting grades, here's howBaseball America defines its grades. 20:As bad as it gets for a major leaguer. 30:Poor, but not unplayable. 40:Below-average 45:Fringe-average 50:Major league average 55:Above average 60:Plus 70:Plus-plus. Among the best tools in the game. 80:Top of the scale. Only five players have overall scouting grades of 60 or better in 2025, which means they could potentially develop into an All-Star one day — or have the best chance at doing so, as scouting baseball players isn't an exact science, of course.
