An "aftermarket" signed 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card has sold in a private sale via Goldin Auctions for $2.7 million. According to the auction house, it's a record paid for a card with an "aftermarket" signature. "Aftermarket" signed cards are autographed outside the chain of card production; physically autographed cards are either hard signed directly onto the surface, signed onto a hologram sticker which is later placed onto the card's surface, or embedded as cut signatures -- autographs cut from documents such as checks. - ESPN.com

The Lakers will open the season missing some frontcourt depth as backup big man Maxi Kleber has an oblique strain and will be reevaluated in approximately two weeks, the team announced Tuesday. Kleber, acquired from the Dallas Mavericks as part of the Luka Doncic trade in February, has dealt with a string of injuries since joining the Lakers. - ESPN.com
