Suns suffer ‘unacceptable’ loss vs. Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal didn’t mince words on Monday night following a disappointing performance. The Suns, two days removed from defeating the San Antonio Spurs by 25, played the same team in the same arena, and this time the Spurs were missing star rookie Victor Wembanyama. Yet the Spurs flipped the script with a 104-102 triumph. “It’s disappointment,” Beal told reporters after the game. “We came in here and laid an egg. We thought it was going to be easy with no Wemby. Just got our ass kicked. They came out aggressive, just like Coach told us they would, and we didn’t respond. Well, we did, but […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto lasts only 1 inning in Dodgers debut

Yoshinobu Yamamoto lasted one inning in his Los Angeles Dodgers debut after signing a record $325 million, 12-year contract, giving up five runs in a 15-11 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday. The 25-year-old right-hander trailed 2-0 after nine pitches and needed 43 pitches to get three outs, leaving with a 45.00 ERA. San Diego batted around, and Michael Grove relieved Yamamoto with the Dodgers trailing 5-1. “I feel regret that I just couldn’t keep the team in the game from the get-go, so I do feel the responsibility for it,” Yamamoto said through an interpreter. “I just got to get ready for the next […]

Springboks could replace Siya Kolisi as captain – Erasmus

South Africa’s double World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi may not lead the side this year despite playing excellent rugby for French club Racing 92, coach Rassie Erasmus stated on Tuesday. Erasmus left his role as director of rugby to return as head coach of the Springboks ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia and has hinted that some of the ‘old guard’ will be phased out over the next few seasons. Eighteen of the Springboks’ 33 players in last year’s World Cup squad were over the age of 30, including Kolisi, who will turn 33 in June. Kolisi […]

Chris Paul steadies Warriors in return, keys win off bench

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul pointed twice during a possession late in the third quarter of Tuesday’s victory over the Washington Wizards, directing his teammates where to go. In response, Klay Thompson slowly walked to the left side of the 3-point arc while Jonathan Kuminga quickly came in to set a screen. As the defenders came off the screen, they both stuck with Thompson on the perimeter, leaving a wide-open lane for Kuminga. Paul lobbed the ball up for the third-year forward, who completed the alley-oop. “That’s what Chris does,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He gets you organized, he gets you good looks. All season long, […]

Doc Rivers gets earful from 76ers fans; Bucks get last word

Doc Rivers wasn’t sure what kind of reception he would receive in his return to Philadelphia, eight months after the 76ers dismissed him as coach. “Do they give coaches big receptions?” Rivers stated before his new team, the Milwaukee Bucks, defeated Philadelphia 119-98 on Sunday. When a reporter told Rivers he was different, he acknowledged the validity of the statement but noted he still hadn’t thought much about it. However, the crowd in Philadelphia came prepared, delivering a resounding chorus of boos when Rivers’ name was announced before tipoff. “I didn’t even hear it, to be honest,” Rivers said with a smile after […]

Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) out for ‘foreseeable future’

The Hawks are preparing to be without center Onyeka Okongwu for an indefinite period, leaving the team with serious front-line depth issues as it returns from the All-Star break. Coach Quin Snyder stated following Thursday’s practice Okongwu, who missed the final game before the break with a sprained left toe, “is not going to be available for the foreseeable future.” Snyder’s announcement was a surprise following initial expectations Okongwu would miss a week to 10 days. The loss of Okongwu, who has shared playing time with starting center Clint Capela, comes as Capela has missed the past six matches with a left adductor strain. Capela […]

Carlos Alcaraz injures ankle, exits Rio Open after 2 games

Two-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz retired hurt from the Rio Open on Tuesday after two matches due to a right ankle injury. The retirement at 1-1 meant Brazil’s Thiago Monteiro advanced to the second round. He will face his compatriot Felipe Meligeni Alves for a place in the quarterfinals. Alcaraz twisted his ankle in the first game after only two points. He received medical attention, broke Monteiro’s serve, but after the Brazilian pulled level he shook his rival’s hand and left the court walking as his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero looked concerned. The Spanish player stated his doctors said the injury was not serious. “These things happen, even […]

Alexander Volkanovski has a UFC exit strategy — but a loss to Ilia Topuria isn’t a part of it

Alexander Volkanovski has a UFC exit strategy — it just doesn’t involve a second consecutive defeat and the relinquishing of his featherweight belt to Ilia Topuria this weekend. Volkanovski (26-3) will put the belt he has held since December 2019, when he defeated Max Holloway by unanimous decision, on the line in Anaheim just five months after he saw his dreams of dual-champion status snatched away in brutal fashion by Islam Makhachev. Immediately after that crushing defeat, Volkanovski gave an emotional insight into his psyche, which left many questioning whether, after such a dominant run, cracks were suddenly starting to emerge within the usually unflappable Australian.

Inter Miami ends preseason with draw vs. Messi’s boyhood club Newell’s

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF closed out their wild MLS preseason with a 1-1 draw versus Messi’s boyhood club, Newell’s Old Boys on Thursday night. It was the first time that the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner faced the club that both he and Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino grew up with as natives of Rosario, Argentina. Messi played there as a child before leaving to play for Barcelona, where he rose to soccer stardom. Martino played and coached for the club and holds the record for most appearances in club history. With the stadium packed with fans excited to see Messi play, the 36-year-old star did […]
