Nick Kyrgios' love for basketball knows no bounds and he's even tried to bring the style and swagger on tennis courts.
Kyrgios' tennis outfits have some substance, often donning a basketball jersey-type on top of his compression shirt. Sometimes, he also wears an arm sleeve which is a common gear for basketball players that is majorly attributed to prevent injuries related to tennis elbow.
Because of his fondness for the sport, Kyrgios turned it into an investment, when earlier this year he joined the ownership group of Nbl outfit the South East Melbourne Phoenix, which plies its trade in Australia. He is also an investor in Miami PC of the Major League Pickleball.
Kyrgios co-owns the Melbourne-based team together with former Washington Wizards player John Wall and several other NBA players. He has been courtside in many basketball games while he is away from the tennis tour and is a diehard Boston Celtics fan.

After making it through the three-month Orlando bubble without a single case of Covid-19, the NBA couldn’t make it through two days of their out-of-the-bubble 2020-21 season before the virus wreaked havoc.
The league announced that Wednesday night’s game between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder has been postponed due to health and safety reasons.
In short, the Rockets did not have the minimum eight players available for tonight’s game. The matchup was set to take place at the Toyota Center in Houston, one of the few venues allowing fans to attend in person.
In its announcement, the league said three Rockets players returned either positive or inconclusive Covid tests. Further contract tracing led to four additional players — including star players John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins — having to quarantine. At the same time, a separate incident involving James Harden arose after a video emerged of him...

UTA on Wednesday said it has made a significant investment in the powerhouse sports agency Klutch Sports Group, led by its founder and CEO Rich Paul, a move that among other things will create UTA Sports and bring Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis into the agency fold.
As part of the partnership, Klutch will continue to operate under its own brand and Paul will become Head of UTA Sports, focusing on building UTA’s sports business for athletes in all their professional endeavors, on and off the field.
This comes after UTA had a courtship to acquire Paradigm, which ended when Paradigm chief Sam Gores decided to stay independent. UTA has been raising money to become more aggressive in building inroads to fields like sports and music, which have proved lucrative for rivals like CAA and Wme.
