Nike's first pickleball deal has me thinking I should fish my paddles out of the closet and start practicing. I'll be spending this evening with some of our readers at CNBC Pro Live at the New York Stock Exchange, so you'll hear from my colleague, Josephine, in tomorrow's edition. If you're one of tonight's attendees, please say hello. S&P 500 futures are higher this morning
