Lakers finally have NBA Championship depth – Darvin Ham

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham told ESPN that the Lakers finally have the depth to earn another NBA Championship, admitting their roster was a touch shallow during their 2022-23 season. The Lakers got last season off to a horrific start, going 0-5 and 2-10 in their first 12 games. However, Ham, who replaced Frank Vogel ahead of the campaign, oversaw a turnaround in fortunes as they scraped into the playoffs, and then beat the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors on the way to a 4-0 Western Conference loss to the Denver Nuggets. They have moved proactively ahead of the new campaign, retaining key […]

Yankees collapse in Miami, drop ‘difficult’ finale to Marlins

With seven weeks left in the season, the New York Yankees are running out of time. They are in last place in the American League East, and even with the expanded wild-card postseason in place, the climb is getting steeper and steeper. And Sunday didn’t help. Jake Burger’s game-ending single capped a five-run, ninth-inning comeback versus Clay Holmes and Tommy Kahnle, giving the Miami Marlins an 8-7 victory in the series finale. “The mountain gets bigger with every loss,” Holmes said. “We have to put together some wins and string them together and get some momentum going.” New York (60-58) led 7-1 in the sixth inning behind ace Gerrit […]

Max Muncy drew a bases-loaded, two-out walk to force in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Clayton Kershaw returned from the injured list and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to defeat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Thursday night.

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. stated he and his teammates have little choice but to deal with the absence of Ja Morant across the first 25 matches of the upcoming season, but Jackson stated Morant will still find ways to impact the team during his suspension. “We just gotta navigate it,” Jackson said after Team USA’s final day of training camp here in Sin City, and ahead of its first exhibition game in preparation for the FIBA World Cup against Puerto Rico on Monday night. “Obviously, we know that not having Ja is a real big hole to fill, but, you know, he’s […]

White Sox rally for 3 runs in ninth, beat Guardians 5-3 as teams await discipline for nasty brawl

Elvis Andrus knows he’ll one day miss playing at Progressive Field. The Guardians won’t miss him. Andrus, who has tortured Cleveland pitching throughout his career, hit a two-run single after Chicago tied it in the ninth inning on consecutive throwing errors by rookie Bryan Rocchio, sending the White Sox to a 5-3 victory Sunday. Andrus went 3 for 5, raising his career average to .376 (74 for 197) with nine homers, 30 RBI and 36 runs in Cleveland.

Max Scherzer settles in, strikes out 9 to win Rangers debut

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer settled down after a shaky start to win his debut for the American League West-leading Texas Rangers, striking out nine over six innings and getting some help from his new teammates as they defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Thursday. Four of Chicago’s first five batters reached base in a three-run first inning when Scherzer (10-4) threw 37 pitches. The White Sox then had three singles in the second, though Scherzer benefitted from a double-play grounder and an inning-ending strikeout to prevent any more runs. Scherzer, acquired from the New York Mets in a trade over the weekend and […]

Astros’ Framber Valdez throws no-hitter vs Guardians on 93 pitches

Framber Valdez was determined to improve this month after a subpar July where he posted a 7.29 ERA. On the first day of August he definitely did that. Valdez threw the 16th no-hitter in Houston Astros history in a 2-0 triumph over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. “The last couple of games I just wasn’t as focused as I could have been and I’ll be the first to admit that,” Valdez said in Spanish through a translator. “But today I just came very focused, very positive and just ready to leave it all out on the field.” Hours after the Astros reacquired ace Justin Verlander from the New […]

Bengals RB Trayveon Williams carted off with ankle injury

Trayveon Williams, one of the contenders to be the Cincinnati Bengals’ top backup running back, left Tuesday’s practice on a cart after suffering a right ankle injury. Following the departure of Samaje Perine in free agency, Williams was in the mix to become the team’s top reserve option behind starter Joe Mixon. After Tuesday’s practice, Bengals coach Zac Taylor stated he didn’t have any immediate updates on Williams’ status and that the team would continue to gather more information. However, Taylor praised Williams’ growth since the team drafted him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft. “He’s always been a guy that’s […]
