Dybantsa Goes No. 1, Ronaldo Makes History & NFL Cancels Supplemental Draft

On this episode of Yesterday in Sports, Chris Horwedel recaps a loaded day across the NBA, World Cup, NFL, MLB, and more. The show starts with the 2026 NBA Draft, where AJ Dybantsa goes No. 1 overall to the Washington Wizards, becoming the first BYU player ever selected first. Chris also covers Darryn Peterson to Utah, Cameron Boozer to Memphis, Caleb Wilson to Chicago, Keaton Wagler to the Clippers, and Milwaukee beginning its post-Giannis rebuild with new draft capital.

The World Cup coverage focuses on Cristiano Ronaldo ending his major-tournament goal drought in historic fashion as Portugal gets back on track against Uzbekistan. Chris also highlights Colombia advancing from Group K, Daniel Muñoz’s key moment, and how Portugal-Colombia now becomes an important match for seeding and momentum.

The NFL segment centers on the league canceling the 2026 Supplemental Draft, putting Brendan Sorsby’s path to the NFL on pause and raising bigger questions about whether the supplemental process remains a real route for eligible players. Chris also covers Kyle Pitts signing a major extension with the Atlanta Falcons, the Phillies’ wild ninth-inning comeback against the Nationals, and a kind, personal note on ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller after reports of his serious car accident and expected recovery.
