James Worthy isn't saying "good riddance" to LeBron James ... telling TMZ Sports it's a new era of the NBA -- so he'll appreciate the one ring the King brought to the City of Angels.

Some folks in Laker Nation were happy to see the four-time champion leave town ... essentially saying he wasn't a good fit for the franchise or could live up to the expectations put on him.

Not Worthy, though ... and he pointed to the state of the organization prior to his arrival -- which was "misery."

Police say they responded to a call just before 10 PM on July 13 ... and, when they arrived, they spoke with Chantise Knatt-Jackson, who they say has been in a relationship with Terry for 6 months and is almost 3 months pregnant.

Officers say they observed "a smaller sized cut on the middle of her forehead" and a "larger cut to the bottom left side of her head."

Cops say Chantise told them Terry was stressed out about business deals when he allegedly socked her.

LeBron James is now a Philadelphia 76er ... but President Donald Trump believes he's "maybe" more of a racist.

The Commander in Chief made the shocking claim about the face of the NBA right from the Oval Office on Friday ... when well-known White House reporter Peter Doocy asked for his stance on the greatest G.O.A.T. debate in sports -- Michael Jordan or LeBron James??

Trump's answer had nothing to do with rings, points, or even talent for that matter ... but one thing in particular that doesn't show up on any box score -- friendship.

"Well, Michael Jordan's a guy that's a friend of mine. Play golf with him. He's a really good guy."

Then came his take on LeBron James the person.

Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan have split but are currently not talking about filing for divorce ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A rep for the estranged couple confirms to TMZ ... the former NBA star and the "Basketball Wives" star have been living separately and leading separate lives. We're told Derek and Gloria built a family together and are in constant communication, trying to work through their issues

We're told the two are not heading to divorce court ... yet.

Ryan Clark is finally speaking out after his abrupt exit from ESPN, and things got emotional.

The former safety-turned-longtime network analyst broke down in tears while reflecting on his more than a decade-long stay with the "Worldwide Leader" ... during the latest episode of his 'Pivot' podcast.

The waterworks started when Fred Taylor, Ryan's cohost, asked him if there was anything he'd "do differently" in hindsight, prompting the emotional response.

LeBron James has made his decision -- he's joining the Philadelphia 76ers.

The announcement came down on Friday via X ... with James explaining why he's going to the City of Brotherly Love after initially contemplating retirement.

"I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game," James said seconds ago. "I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give."

It sure seems like LeBron James was going to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers all along ... 'cause the King's comments from last week are resurfacing on Friday -- and it couldn't have been more obvious.

James made a number of podcast appearances during Fanatics Fest in NYC ... and during a live episode of "Mind The Game," his guest co-host Tyrese Haliburton had an interesting way to ask a question about his career.

"What are you going on, year 76??" Hali asked. The four-time champion joked it was more like year 79 ... and the two continued with the chat. Chances are Haliburton was in the know prior to taking the stage, as James even admitted they addressed the topic beforehand.

Nick Bosa is happy to see Ryan Clark out of the job at ESPN -- the San Francisco 49ers star woke up from social media hibernation to weigh in on the move ... two years after the analyst criticized him for wearing a MAGA hat after a game.

The beef between the two goes back to October 2024 ... when Clark teed off on Bosa for rocking a white "Make America Great Again" hat as he crashed Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Isaac Guerendo's postgame interview with NBC's Melissa Stark on "Sunday Night Football."

As TMZ first reported, a woman named Havana Saint claimed she was encouraged to drink heavily at an after-party on June 2, and Adrien let her stay at his place for the night when she was too drunk to drive home. At some point during the night, Havana says Adrien tried forcing sex on her -- including "sexual intercourse, oral sex and a hand job" -- and alleged he exposed his genitals to her and tried forcing her hand on them.

Adrien Broner -- the former boxer who won multiple titles at different weight classes -- is being sued for sexual battery ... TMZ has learned.

A woman named Havana Saint is suing Broner ... claiming he invited her and her friends to an after-party on June 2, 2026, where he encouraged her to drink heavily.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Saint says she got too drunk to drive home ... and she took Broner up on an offer to stay at the home where the after-party took place.

While she was staying at his home, Saint claims Broner tried pressuring her into performing sexual acts with him ... including "sexual intercourse, oral sex and a hand job." She says he also exposed his genitals to her and grabbed her hand to try to force her to engage.

Mike Tyson is changing his tune on the whole "legacy" conversation ... saying he now knows how he wants to be remembered, and it's got little to do with his brilliance in the ring!

The World Series champions hit up President Donald Trump's White House on Thursday ... and while POTUS celebrated the Los Angeles Dodgers' incredible run, he first had to pat himself on the back for an extreme home makeover.

Trump kickstarted the ceremony by praising the revamped Rose Garden ... pointing out how it's more friendly for women who wear high heels -- and taking a shot at his predecessor, Joe Biden, as he listed all the new improvements to the area.

When he got to the task at hand, Trump put the spotlight on the Dodgers' ownership and players ... giving a big shoutout to Shohei Ohtani, for being a great two-way player, just like the legendary Babe Ruth.

Caitlin Clark's no stranger to taking a beating on and off the court -- this time the thumping is coming from a USA Today writer who's now scrambling to clean up her own mess after the internet lost its mind.

Nancy Armour torched the Indiana Fever superstar this week in a story titled, "Caitlin Clark's flopping isn't just annoying -- it's becoming dangerous" ... where she argues CC's dramatics are putting the safety of Black and queer WNBA players at risk.

The reaction was fast and furious. Fellow media members and sports fans ripped the piece as over-the-top and totally unfair.

On Thursday, Armour admitted she missed the mark ... while still standing by the core of her attack.

"In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till," she wrote. "I intended to connect the issues the WNBA is currently facing with its All-Star Game being hosted in Till’s hometown of Chicago. I obviously did not provide enough context for that."

Then she doubled down.

"However, this point stands: There is a history in this country of perceived threats to white women being weaponized against African-Americans, and the danger that poses to Black players in the league. Players have been abused online and have reported receiving death threats. That has to be taken more seriously."

Whether the clarification cools things off remains to be seen.
