What happened in sports on May 10, 2021 ft. Westbrook's triple-double record, Steph Curry's GW-3PM vs. Utah, Jaylen Brown's injury, and more!

May 10th, 2021 was remembered for Russell Westbrook becoming the NBA’s all-time triple-double king as he surpassed Oscar Robertson with his 182nd career triple-dub. However, Westbrook missed the GW-FGA, giving the Hawks a crucial win with playoff implications on the line. Steph Curry came in the clutch for Golden State as he ended his 36-point night with the GW-3PM to take down the Donovan Mitchell-less Jazz.
Jaylen Brown’s breakout 2020-21 season is officially over after being ruled out for the season and playoffs with a torn wrist ligament, essentially ending any chances Boston had of competing this year. Former No.1 overall pick Eric Fisher tore his Achilles in the AFC Championship game but signed a near $10M deal with Indianapolis for the 2021 season to protect Carson Wentz’s blindside. The Jacksonville Jaguars will also be adding Tim Tebow as a Tight End.
