Sorry, nothing in cart.
LeBron James says two doctors recommended season-ending surgery on a torn tendon in his right foot, but he has decided to finish out the season on the court with the Los Angeles Lakers.
James returned to the Lakers on Sunday after a monthlong absence with what he revealed was a significant tendon injury. He wasn’t in the starting lineup for only the second time in his 20-year NBA career,
If they’d let the Princeton men’s basketball team keep playing forever, if there was no game clock, these Tigers would have never stopped believing that they would eventually pull this one out. And so what if Ryan Kalkbrenner was a little too big or Baylor Scheierman was a little too hot or Creighton was a little too good?
So what?
The Gonzaga Bulldogs and UCLA Bruins already had a deep and storied rivalry in the men’s NCAA tournament coming into their Sweet 16 matchup in the 2023 bracket on Thursday. The first lasting image of Zags basketball was Adam Morrison falling to the floor in tears after losing to the Bruins in the 2006 Sweet 16. Gonzaga got its revenge in the 2021 Final Four with an even more memorable moment: Jalen Suggs’ near halfcourt buzzer-beater to put the then undefeated Zags into the national title game.
Trea Turner continued his red-hot run for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday, homering in the second inning to put the Americans up 1-0 against Japan in the championship game. It was Turner’s fifth home run of the tournament, tying him for the most in a single World Baseball Classic and breaking the record for most by an American player in their WBC career.
They’re watching. College basketball players from Evansville (5-27), LIU (3-26), Delaware State (6-24) and other programs that took it on the chin this season. Coaches who’ve been toiling in anonymity for the per-hour equivalent of peanuts, wondering if it’s all worthwhile. Administrators staring at a tight budget, stretching every dollar.
They’re looking at the incredible, improbable, indelible story that is Fairleigh Dickinson and they’re nodding their heads at what they see.
The New York Giants are acquiring tight end Darren Waller in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Giants will send a third-round draft pick (No. 100 overall) to the Raiders for Waller, a 2020 Pro Bowler who will provide quarterback Daniel Jones with an established veteran target in the passing game.
Waller had back-to-back seasons of over 1,000 receiving yards in 2019 and 2020 but has been plagued by multiple injuries over the past two seasons,
LeBron James didn’t hide his delight as the Los Angeles Lakers continue their climb in the Western Conference standings.
On Friday, the Lakers took down the Toronto Raptors 122-112 behind big games from D’Angelo Russell and Dennis Schroder. Despite the fact that Anthony Davis struggled in the contest, it didn’t slow down the Purple and Gold who have now won their last two games and seven of their last 10.
When Joel Embiid caught the ball with 7 seconds to go in Friday night’s game at Wells Fargo Center between his Philadelphia 76ers and the Portland Trail Blazers, he had one thing on his mind: Get to his favorite spot on the floor — the free throw line area — and get off a clean shot.
“Once I got there,”
Fred VanVleet tried to take a double breath before addressing reporters. But the Toronto Raptors guard was unable to suppress his frustration with referee Ben Taylor and his crew.
VanVleet was extremely critical of Taylor after the Raptors’ 108-100 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night — not only for being called for a technical foul, but for the disparity in fouls and free throws.
The short-handed Celtics nearly pulled out a hard-fought (and unlikely) win over the Cavaliers on Monday but found perhaps the most painful possible way to fall 118-114 in overtime.
Here are the takeaways.
1. Clearly, we have to start with Grant Williams, who had a chance to essentially put a Celtics victory on ice with a pair of free throws,
