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 […]

Boone knows his future with Yankees is ‘out of my hands’

Despite a contract that runs through 2024, with a club option for 2025, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated Monday that he does not know if he will be invited back for next season. The Yankees are a disappointing 79-77 after Monday’s 6-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, and they were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday. The .506 winning percentage is not only the worst of Boone’s six-year tenure, it is the club’s worst since a .469 mark in 1992. “No, I don’t worry about it,” Boone told reporters Monday when asked about his job security. “It’s out of my hands. I’m completely comfortable […]

Mike Clevinger pitches a 6-hitter as the White Sox beat the Nationals 6-1

Mike Clevinger pitched a six-hitter for his third career complete game, and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Washington Nationals 6-1 on Monday night. Luis Robert Jr. hit a three-run homer for Chicago, which improved to 5-12 in September. Tim Anderson had four of the team’s 15 hits. Clevinger was working on a shutout before Dominic Smith hit his 10th homer with two out in the ninth inning. Smith walked slowly to first while watching the shot to right-center, and then flipped his bat. Clevinger (8-8) apparently took exception and exchanged words with Smith, prompting benches to clear in an incident that didn’t escalate beyond shouting. Clevinger then struck […]

Yankees place OF Jasson Dominguez on IL with torn UCL

As expected, the New York Yankees placed top prospect Jasson Dominguez on the 10-day injured list Monday. Dominguez, 20, has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is expected to have Tommy John surgery. Dominguez was scratched from Sunday’s game versus Milwaukee with inflammation in the elbow. Reconstructive surgery would sideline the switch-hitting center fielder for a minimum of six months. “The plan is to go through surgery as soon as possible and try to recuperate as soon as possible,” Dominguez said Sunday, per CBS News in New York.

Knicks sue former employee, Raptors, cite disclosure of ‘proprietary information’

The New York Knicks on Monday sued the Toronto Raptors, members of the Raptors organization and a former Knicks employee whom they alleged “illegally procured and then disclosed proprietary information” to their Atlantic Division rival. According to a copy of the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan and was obtained by ESPN, the Knicks state that Ikechukwu Azotam, who worked for the Knicks from 2020 to 2023, sent the Raptors thousands of confidential files — including play frequency reports, a prep book for the 2022-23 season, video scouting files, opposition research and more — after the team started […]

Andy Murray (abdominal strain) withdraws from Cincinnati Open

Andy Murray pulled out of the Cincinnati Open late Monday with an abdominal strain. The 36-year-old keeps recovering from the injury as he prepares to compete in the US Open that starts later this month in New York. Cincinnati is among some of the tournaments that players view as tune-ups for the Open. Murray withdrew from last week’s Canadian Open before his round-of-16 clash with eventual champion Jannik Sinner due to the strain. He first felt the injury after spending nearly five hours on court in triumphs over Lorenzo Sonego and Max Purcell. Looking for the best online betting site and Live betting? Visit Heritage Sports!
