LeBron James Takes Break from Social Media, FBI Joins Investigation into Athlete Burglaries, Geno Auriemma Makes History

LeBron James has announced he's taking a break from social media, sharing his decision on X and Instagram. His message also addressed frustrations with negative sports media coverage, urging a more positive focus on the sport's ability to bring people together. It's unclear when James will return to the platforms, though he recently hinted his time on the court may be nearing its end. In other news, the FBI has joined local authorities in investigating a series of burglaries targeting professional athletes. The FBI is looking into whether a transnational crime syndicate is involved, following recent burglaries at the homes of NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The NFL issued a security alert to teams and players, advising precautions to protect their property. Lastly, Geno Auriemma, the legendary head coach of the Connecticut Huskies women's basketball team, has set a historic record, becoming the winningest head coach in college basketball history with his 1,217th career win. The Huskies' 85-41 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson marked the milestone, which came in front of his hometown crowd. Auriemma surpassed Tara Vanderveer, the recently retired Stanford head coach, and is now the only coach to reach 1,200 wins at a single school. Plans are in the works to celebrate Auriemma and his longtime assistant Chris Daley, as both enter their 40th season with UConn.
