James Harden to make Clippers debut Monday vs. Knicks

James Harden stated he will make his LA Clippers debut on Monday night at Madison Square Garden versus the New York Knicks. “Definitely,” Harden said when asked if he is sure to make his debut against the Knicks. Harden spoke to reporters before going through a practice on Sunday in New York and the point guard said he is good to go barring anything unforeseen happening. The Clippers have been off since losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime Wednesday night. That has given Harden four days to learn the Clippers offense and get in a lot of on-court work. He has played 5-on-5 pickup […]

Shohei Ohtani, Cody Bellinger headline MLB free agent market

Shohei Ohtani, Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, Blake Snell and Aaron Nola were among the 130 players who became free agents Thursday as baseball’s business season started the day following the Texas Rangers’ first World Series title. Max Muncy, Joe Jiménez and Colin Rea gave up a chance to become free agents and agreed to new contracts with their teams. The free agent market also includes Sonny Gray, Josh Hader, Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler and J.D. Martinez. Minnesota prevented outfielder Max Kepler and infielder Jorge Polanco from leaving, exercising a $10 million option on Kepler and $10.5 million option on Polanco. Each would have been owed a $1 million buyout had the option been declined. Looking for the best online betting site and Live […]

Rangers take out D-backs for franchise’s 1st World Series title

The Texas Rangers spent seven months of this season terrorizing adversaries with a menacing offense that feasted on home runs and hardly ever let up. The first night of November showcased the other aspects that make them dominant — gritty starting pitching, sound defense and a lineup versatile enough to manufacture runs when needed. It sealed them a title. The Rangers defeated the upstart, underdog Arizona Diamondbacks in front of a soldout Chase Field crowd, 5-0, in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday, clinching the first championship in the 63-year history of their franchise. Nathan Eovaldi continually weaved out of trouble, somehow matching […]

James Harden arrives in L.A., welcomed in Clippers’ locker room

Not long after James Harden and PJ Tucker walked into their new locker room with the LA Clippers, Russell Westbrook greeted his former Houston Rockets teammates with a handshake and embrace. While the proposed trade between the Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers had not become official as of early Tuesday evening in Los Angeles, Harden and Tucker were welcomed by the Clippers the moment they got out of their SUV in the Crypto.com Arena loading dock. Team president Lawrence Frank was there to greet both players and walk them to the Clippers’ locker room. Not long into their walk, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer showed up to shake hands with both […]

Americans Ben Shelton, Frances Tiafoe exit Paris Masters

Americans Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe both lost in the first round of the Paris Masters on Monday. The 14th-seeded Tiafoe fell 6-3, 6-4 to Alexander Bublik while Shelton, the No. 15 seed, was undone 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-3 by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. It was Bublik’s first hardcourt triumph at a Masters tournament since Miami last year. Shelton, who earned his maiden tour title earlier this month in Tokyo, hit 15 aces but could not recover from the only break of serve in the decider. Also, Alex De Minaur saved one match point and rallied from 2-5 down in the third set to defeat 2016 champion Andy Murray 7-6 (5), 4-6, […]

Tyson Fury survives knockdown, edges Francis Ngannou on points

In a shocking turn of events, Tyson Fury was forced to survive a third-round knockdown to eke past Francis Ngannou via split decision Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. One judge scored it 95-94 for Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, but was overruled by tallies of 96-93 and 95-94 for Fury. Fury’s WBC heavyweight title wasn’t on the line in the 10-round boxing match. Ngannou was making his pro boxing debut in his first fight since January 2022. England’s Fury was installed as a -1400 favorite to attain the match. He moves on to an undisputed heavyweight championship fight versus Oleksandr Usyk despite arguably his […]

Justin Gaethje willing to wait for crack at Islam Makhachev

Justin Gaethje considers the only unfinished business he has right now at lightweight is a title shot. The former UFC interim lightweight champion and BMF champion told ESPN on Wednesday that he will wait for as long as he has to if he does not get the next opportunity at titleholder Islam Makhachev. “Who do I fight?” Gaethje said. “There’s no one. I did what I had to do. … I don’t know what else I need to do.” Charles Oliveira, the former UFC lightweight champion, was scheduled to challenge Makhachev at UFC 294 last weekend. But Oliveira sustained a cut 12 days before […]

Astros manager Dusty Baker has said that he will retire

Dusty Baker has retired as manager of the Houston Astros, he told USA Today on Wednesday, ending an illustrious 26-year career as a big league skipper highlighted by a World Series win last season. “I’m very grateful and thankful to Jim Crane and the Houston Astros for giving me this opportunity, and to win a championship,” Baker, 74, told USA Today in an interview. “I felt like they’ve been good for me, and I’ve been good for them. “What I really appreciate is that Jim has been totally honest and transparent with me on all things.’ Baker’s decision comes two days after […]

D-backs top Phillies in Game 7, make 1st World Series since ’01

Doubted and dismissed when baseball’s postseason started, the Arizona Diamondbacks have spent October embodying the words of their manager, Torey Lovullo. “Anything can happen,” he likes to tell them. What happened Tuesday night set up perhaps the most improbable World Series in baseball history: The Diamondbacks stunned the heavily favored Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-2 triumph in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. For the second consecutive night, they sauntered into Citizens Bank Park, a hellscape for visiting teams that had gone winless during the first six games here this postseason, and defeated the Phillies twice. In doing so, the 84-win Diamondbacks, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo secures 3-year, $186M extension

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed on a three-year, $186 million contract extension, his agent, Alex Saratsis, revealed Monday. The deal — which includes a player option for the 2027-2028 season — commits Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, to the franchise through the duration of guard Damian Lillard’s contract and ends the chance of him entering free agency in 2025. The extension, which Antetokounmpo first announced on social media, is yet one more commitment from the superstar to the franchise that drafted him out of Greece in 2013 with the 15th overall pick and nurtured his development into one of the […]
