Nuggets go for fifth straight with Timberwolves

The Denver Nuggets have recovered from a disappointing road trip with a strong homestand. Friday will determine if they head into another couple of hard road matches on a winning streak or another disappointing defeat. The Nuggets are 4-0 since losing three of four games on an Eastern Conference swing, and to get their fifth straight victory would require beating a struggling Minnesota team. The Timberwolves have lost eight in a row and now embark on a four-game road trip. Minnesota’s streak continued Wednesday night with a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans — a team which entered that contest on its own 13-game […]

At his Busch Stadium news conference, Kim held up a small sign that read “Hello STL.” He gets […]

Stephen Stasburg returns to Nationals

World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg on Monday agreed to terms with the Washington Nationals on a seven-year, $245 million contract, according to sources, six weeks after opting out of the final four years of his contract with the Nationals. There are no opt-outs or options in the contract, a source said. Some of the contract money is deferred. Gauged before the deferrals are assessed, the contract carries the highest average annual value — $35 million — for a pitcher and tops the prior record for total value for a pitcher — David Price’s $217 million — by $28 million. Those records are expected to be short-lived, as Gerrit […]

Bucks winning streak ends with loss to Mavericks

The Bucks have little time to reflect on the end of their 18-game winning streak. Milwaukee’s lengthy run was halted Monday night when Seth Curry and Kristaps Porzingis each scored 26 points to help the visiting Dallas Mavericks pull out a 120-116 win without guard Luka Doncic. Milwaukee, which dropped to 24-4 with its first defeat since a 103-100 setback Nov. 8 at Utah, next hosts the Lakers (24-3) on Thursday in a matchup of conference leaders. “It’s going to be a test for us,” said Giannis Antetokounmpo, who led the Bucks with 48 points and 14 rebounds. “The Lakers […]

Rangers acquire Cy Young winner Corey Kluber from Indians

Corey Kluber led by example and excellence in Cleveland. The Texas Rangers are hoping he can do the same for them. The Indians traded the two-time Cy Young Award winner – and their unquestioned ace – over the past six seasons to the Rangers on Sunday, a blockbuster deal that could dramatically change both teams. In exchange for the 33-year-old Kluber, Cleveland received outfielder Delino DeShields and pitching prospect Emmanuel Clase, a hard-throwing 21-year-old with huge potential. The stoic and steady Kluber has been one of baseball’s most dominant pitchers since 2014, when he went 18-9 and got his first Cy Young. He got […]

Anthony Joshua with dual mandatory order from IBF, WBO

Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua faces a decision of keeping one of two titles after being told TWO sanctioning bodies want immediate defenses. The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has already stipulated number one contender Kubrat Pulev is next before Joshua went through with his redemption rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. Just days after his triumph, Joshua has now been ordered to battle Oleksandr Usyk as the World Boxing Organization (WBO) mandatory challenger. Joshua will have six months to complete the WBO’s wishes. This means one of those requests is impossible to follow through, and unless an exemption is granted, Joshua will […]

LA Clippers Patrick Beverley exits with concussion against Toronto Raptors

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma missed Wednesday night’s 96-87 victory versus the Orlando Magic because of a sprained left ankle. The three-year veteran injured his ankle nearly two weeks ago versus the Washington Wizards but had continued to play on it through soreness and discomfort, the team said. The Lakers’ medical staff stepped in to hold him out against the Magic as the Lakers begin a five-game road trip, hoping the ankle can heal fully before Kuzma plays more games. His status is considered day-to-day. It’s been a difficult season thus far for Kuzma, dubbed the third member of the Lakers’ big three alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, […]
