Dialed In: Your Lacrosse Fix for Tuesday, Nov. 28

Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The NLL season begins on Friday.

With NLL openers less than a week away, we doubled up on season previews yesterday. First, a look a the Philadephia Wings, where departures of players like Trevor Baptise and Kiel Matisz may be stifled by the chance to see early MVP hopeful Mitch Jones in Philly for a full year.

And then there’s the Rochester Knighthawks, a franchise that saw its turnaround season fizzle out down the stretch before a first-round exit in the playoffs. Will 2023-24 start and end well? Jack Goods dove in.

2. The Outlaws’ return to Denver matters.

What’s in a name? A legacy, at least according to former Outlaws players celebrating the original MLL franchise’s return to Denver as part of the PLL. Phil Shore spoke with iconic Outlaws players about the team’s resurrection.
