Warriors’ Andrew Wiggins expected back this week

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is nearing a return to the team and is expected to be back early this week, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday. Wiggins, who has missed 22 consecutive matches attending to a family matter, is expected to be back in the Bay Area as soon as the next 24 hours, sources told Wojnarowski. It is unclear how much Wiggins will play in the team’s final three regular-season games, but his return would come with enough time to prepare for the play-in tournament and playoffs beginning next week.

Derby prospects: Practical Move drills for Santa Anita Derby

Practical Move worked at Santa Anita Sunday in preparation for Saturday’s Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. Trained by Tim Yakteen, the son of Practical Joke has gained his last two starts, the San Felipe (G2) and the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) in December. Ranked No. 6 in the Kentucky Derby standings with 60 points, he likely has earned his way to the Churchill Downs starting gate on May 6. But he could erase all doubt with a good showing Saturday, as the Santa Anita Derby awards 100-40-30-20-10 points to the top five finishers. Here are details of published works this weekend […]

Sorana Cirstea stuns Aryna Sabalenka to reach Miami Open semis

Sorana Cirstea advanced to her first semifinal of a WTA 1000 event in a decade, defeating Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-4 at the Miami Open on Wednesday. Cirstea, 32, beat the highest-ranked opponent of her career by knocking off the second-ranked Sabalenka. Cirstea previously defeated No. 4 Caroline Garcia this month at Indian Wells and topped Garcia again in the second round at Miami. “I think I’m a bit speechless,” Cirstea said. “I came out knowing that it’s going to be a really tough match. Aryna hits so hard, so I knew I had to hold my ground, and I’m very, very happy […]

Curry scores 39, Warriors rally from 20 down, beat Pelicans

Draymond Green yelled at the other bench, his own team and even his coach, and this time those intense emotions absolutely made the difference. Steve Kerr loved it.“We need his fire,” Golden State’s coach stated.“It was perfect, right, perfectly executed,” Green said with a grin. Stephen Curry had 39 points with eight 3-pointers, eight rebounds and eight assists, Jordan Poole added 21 points with consecutive layups that gave Golden State the lead early in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors rallied past the New Orleans Pelicans 120-109 on Tuesday night in a testy, playoff-like matchup in late March. Klay Thompson scored 17 and hit five 3s […]

Andres Gimenez, Cleveland Guardians reach extension

Second baseman Andrés Giménez and the Cleveland Guardians are in agreement on a seven-year $106.5 million contract extension that has a team option for 2031, sources told ESPN. This locks up another core member of the club that has finished first or second in the American League Central for the last seven seasons. Giménez, 24, had a breakout 2022 in which he made his first All-Star team, aquired a Gold Glove and finished behind only Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani in the AL with 7.4 Wins Above Replacement. Acquired as part of the blockbuster deal that sent All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets in January 2021, Giménez […]

Wild On Ice Springs 35-1 Upset In Sunland Park Derby

Frank Sumpter’s homebred Wild On Ice outdueled a determined late challenger and got clear in the closing strides to collect the $600,000 Sunland Derby (G3) as the longest shot in the field Sunday at Sunland Park in New Mexico. Sent off at 35-1 odds and ridden by veteran Ken Tohill, Wild On Ice tracked from third through six furlongs, then went six wide through the second turn before snatching the lead in upper stretch. He shook off a strong bid from Low Expectations and powered across the finish line 1 1/4 lengths clear of that rival, who was the second-longest […]
