Ben Simmons is back in the NBA on a low-risk deal with the Kings, while Serena and Venus Williams turned their US Open doubles loss into a celebration. Meanwhile, a court ruling cleared two Indiana defensive linemen to play, and Premier League clubs kept making moves after the transfer window closed.
Two of the day's biggest stories were about athletes returning to the spotlight, with very different outcomes.
Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Sacramento Kings after missing all of last season with injuries. It's a low-risk flier on a former No. 1 pick who hasn't played since April 2025.
Serena and Venus Williams lost in the first round of US Open women's doubles, blowing a 5-0 lead in the match tiebreaker. But the crowd at Ashe Stadium turned it into a celebration, treating the match like a farewell tour moment.
Off-field decisions shaped the day for college football and European soccer.
A court granted a temporary restraining order allowing Indiana defensive linemen Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt to play Saturday, blocking the NCAA from enforcing eligibility limits. The ruling could have wider implications for the NCAA's control over athlete eligibility.
Chelsea scrambled on deadline day to sign an Everton midfielder after their £47 million deal for Lamine Camara collapsed and they sold Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for £125 million. It's a sign of how chaotic the window's final hours were.
