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 […]

Roy Hodgson leaves Crystal Palace, UEL winner Glasner hired

Roy Hodgson has stepped down as Crystal Palace manager, the club revealed on Monday, with former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner announced as his replacement. The news comes amid a continued poor run of form and days after Hodgson was admitted to hospital when he collapsed at training. The 76-year-old former England manager has since left hospital and is “doing well,” the club said. Hodgson departed his role just hours before Palace are calendared to play away at Everton on Monday, where Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington will take charge of the side. Glasner will take over the role after the Everton game, which he is set […]

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 […]

Pacers advance over Bucks to championship game of tournament

As Tyrese Haliburton watched his step-back 3-pointer fall through the net, giving the Indiana Pacers what would become an insurmountable lead over the Milwaukee Bucks inside the final minute of the Eastern Conference semifinal in the NBA’s in-season tournament, he turned and stared at his wrist. The implication was obvious: The closing moments of the game, which usually are reserved for “Dame Time” when Damian Lillard is involved, had become Haliburton’s time to shine this Thursday at T-Mobile Arena. There were still 48 seconds on the clock as Haliburton celebrated, but they were a mere formality. By the time they ticked off, Haliburton — who finished with 27 […]

Astros win ALCS Game Three, Pull within One Game in Series

After dropping matches one and two to the Texas Rangers in Houston, the Astros headed to Arlington for game three needing a victory to give them a fighting opportunity to head back to the World Series, and they did just that. After not leading at any point through the first 19 innings of the series, the Astros got their first lead in the second inning thanks to a passed ball that brought Yordan Alvarez in from third base, and then on the very next pitch Martín Maldonado put Houston up 3-0 with a single through the left side of the […]

Red Sox win 4-1, 6-2 to sweep Yankees in doubleheader and series

It’s too bad baseball went away from the unbalanced schedules, because the Boston Red Sox could really use a bunch more games versus the New York Yankees. The Red Sox defeated their AL East archrivals 4-1 on Sunday night, completing a doubleheader and series sweep that brought them just two games behind their longtime nemeses in the division. Boston won the series opener 15-5, and then took Sunday’s day game 6-2 in a makeup of Saturday’s rainout. “We like playing them. They like playing against us,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “It’s fun playing against them. Regardless of where we are in […]

Shane McClanahan is making a serious case to be the American League starter again in next month’s All-Star Game. McClanahan became the first 10-game winner in the major leagues and the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Texas Rangers 7-3 on Sunday, taking two of three games in a matchup of the teams with the best records in baseball. McClanahan (10-1) allowed three runs, all in the third inning, and four hits over seven innings. The 26-year-old left-hander retired his final 15 batters. He won a career-best 12 games in 28 starts last season. “It’s one of those things where, it’s the farthest thing from my […]
