Joy Taylor discusses the Spurs reaching the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years under head coach Mitch Johnson, highlighting how 77-year-old front office president Gregg Popovich—now a constant presence after a stroke ended his coaching career—along with franchise figures like R.C. Buford, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili and others, reinforces San Antonio’s winning culture. She then covers Yankees star Aaron Judge avoiding major injury after tests showed a bone bruise near his shoulder, leaving him day-to-day and out short term as New York manages soreness amid his recent slump. Finally, Taylor reacts to reports that 10-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson may pause or retire from the NFL to join CBS Sports as a pregame analyst for the 2026 season after a difficult stint with the Giants, noting the tight quarterback market and potential for a return.
