[Kristensen] Former Denver Nuggets player Ty Lawson was arrested for allegedly stealing a bottle of vodka from a store in Castle Rock.

The incident occurred on July 16, around 8:03 p.m., when a shop owner called police about a man who had entered the store and stolen a bottle of Tito’s vodka before leaving.

According to the affidavit, the shop owner told police that she witnessed the man take a drink from the bottle outside of the store before walking to a nearby restaurant, Scileppi’s, where he took the bottle by the fire pit, then sat at the bar with the stolen bottle.

The owner advised that the man was possibly drunk, as she said she witnessed him stumbling.

When officers arrived, they arrested the man, later identified as Tywon Lawson. Lawson faces a charge of theft less than $300 for shoplifting.

[Friend] WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was not planning to suspend Alyssa Thomas for burying a fist into Caitlin Clark’s throat three weeks ago until Adam Silver implored her to reverse course and issue the discipline, multiple sources told SBJ Tuesday.

Engelbert subsequently suspended Thomas for one game and ordered a Flagrant 2 penalty that carried a $1,000 fine. While a WNBA spokesperson said Wednesday it was “absolutely false” that Engelbert did not originally plan to suspend Thomas, sources believe the fact Silver needed to persuade Engelbert is another sign she is likely in her final season as commissioner.

Sources familiar with the situation said Engelbert initially believed during the evaluation process that — because no foul was called on the court against Thomas — a follow-up suspension seemed too steep of a discipline. Meanwhile, those same sources said Silver believed there was clear evidence of a flagrant foul, that he felt badly for Clark and told Engelbert she had to act.

[Scotto] “I’ve been sitting here thinking about it all day,” an executive whose team made an offer to land Jaylen Brown told HoopsHype late Monday night.

Boston’s Jaylen Brown trade return of Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks left numerous NBA executives around the league bewildered.

“They couldn’t have gotten better than that?” one neutral observing executive whose team was not in the Brown sweepstakes told HoopsHype.

Many around the league were surprised George, 36, was the best player Boston could land for a 29-year-old Brown who was sixth in the NBA MVP voting this past season.

“I can’t believe they did that,” one executive whose team was consistently monitoring Brown’s availability said.
