The Brewers demoted infielder Luis Urias to the minors Thursday and recalled rookie infielder Brice Turang.
Kyrie Irving intends to meet with the Phoenix Suns at the start of free agency, sources tell Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report. Irving will also meet with the Dallas Mavericks and possibly other teams.
The Suns were interested in trading for Irving at the trade deadline before he was traded to the Mavericks.
The Mavericks have long been considered the favorites to sign Irving. Irving could sign with the Mavericks for up to $272 million over five years.
Dallas, meanwhile, has also been linked with a trade for Deandre Ayton of the Suns.
If the Suns were to acquire Irving via a sign-and-trade, they would be hard-capped at $172 million.
Josh Hart has exercised his $12. 9 million option for the 23-24 season with the New York Knicks.
Hart will be eligible for up to a four-year, $80 million extension beginning in August.
The Knicks will have more flexibility in free agency
James Harden has picked up his $35.6 million player option with the Philadelphia 76ers and the two sides have begun to work together on a trade. The Sixers made it clear that Harden was not part of the Sixers’ long-term plans.
Harden is not extension eligible and will be an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers are among the teams expected to pursue a trade for Harden.
