Biography
Hey! My name is Matt, and I am a sports journalist and storyteller. Currently, I am a student at the University of Missouri - Columbia pursuing a degree in journalism with a sports writing & reporting emphasis and the site manager and lead reporter for San Antonio Spurs on Sports Illustrated. At MU, I first served as the sports editor for the university's student-run publication, The Maneater, and also wrote for the Columbia Daily Tribune — a city-wide newspaper — where I still serve as a preps correspondent for high-school sports. Additionally, I serve as a staff writer for Sports Illustrated's team-specific sites. There I write for Missouri, Texas A&M and the San Antonio Spurs, covering the team both remotely and in-person as credentialed media. Some of my previous stops have been covering the Milwaukee Bucks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and Ohio State Buckeyes for Sports Illustrated, as well as the NFL for Men's Journal. I've been blessed to secure interviews with figures the likes of Ken Goldin, Randy Travis, Chase Young and Kobe Brown, as well as speak to representatives from the Spurs, NBA, Fanatics, New Balance and SickKids. I find it intriguing that in the world of professional sports, it tends to be forgotten that athletes are people, too. I intend to explore my interest in sports further throughout my career, using my skills of interviewing and writing to report on the true character of athletes and tell stories that otherwise would not be seen. As for now, I am focused on putting forward my best writing — gaining valuable work and leadership experience during my time at MU and while covering the Spurs.

I thought that the way we finished the year shows some promise ... to finish 15-5 isn't a victory lap, but I think there are some positives." The Bulls moved on from Zach LaVine at February's Trade Deadline in a move that sent him to the Sacramento Kings in a three-team trade that landed them Kevin Huerter, Zach Collins and Tre Jones.
By Matt Guzman Verified| Sports Illustrated Verified The Chicago Bulls didn't miss the playoffs this season, but the state of their franchise is almost more worrisome. Having not won a home playoff game since 2015, Chicago has remained in and out of Eastern Contention, yet its last several seasons have ended at the hands of the Miami Heat in the Play-In Tournament. Bulls vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas spoke on that. It wasn't the answer most hoped for. "I'm asking fans for patience because," he said.
By Matt Guzman Verified| San Antonio Spurs On SI Verified San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was taken out of a local San Antonio steakhouse on a stretcher Tuesday night around 8:20 p.m, per TMZ. Officials reportedly responded to a call from the establishment claiming that "an elderly person" had "fainted," which turned out to be the 76-year-old coach. Popovich suffered a mild stroke on Nov. 2 prior to a home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After his initial health scare, Popovich stepped away from the team to prioritize his health.
