Giannis Antetokounmpo secures 3-year, $186M extension

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed on a three-year, $186 million contract extension, his agent, Alex Saratsis, revealed Monday. The deal — which includes a player option for the 2027-2028 season — commits Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, to the franchise through the duration of guard Damian Lillard’s contract and ends the chance of him entering free agency in 2025. The extension, which Antetokounmpo first announced on social media, is yet one more commitment from the superstar to the franchise that drafted him out of Greece in 2013 with the 15th overall pick and nurtured his development into one of the […]

Draymond Green to miss rest of Golden State Warriors’ preseason

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will miss the remaining two games of the preseason as he recovers from a left lateral ankle sprain, the Warriors revealed Tuesday, putting his status for the regular-season opener up in the air. Warriors coach Steve Kerr stated Green is considered “questionable” for their first game of the regular season, which is slated for Oct. 24 versus the Phoenix Suns. Green has been cleared to begin light on-court workouts, such as shooting drills, but will not return to full team practice or scrimmages yet. He will be reevaluated again on Sunday. “I just talked to him and he […]

Thompson vows Warriors contract situation won’t be distraction this season

Klay Thompson is entering an important part of his NBA career. The four-time champion will play his 13th NBA season with the Warriors, which also happens to be a contract year for Thompson as he is set to be a free agent in 2024. Thompson is looking at this season with a clear mind, though, and guaranteed the pressure that comes with a contract year won’t be a distraction over the course of the season. “It’s not going to be a thing,” Thompson told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “The fact that I’m going into my 13th season — that alone — it gives me such peace […]

LeBron James to miss Lakers preseason opener, but is ‘100% healthy’

LeBron James won’t be on the court with the Los Angeles Lakers for their preseason opener versus the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. James and the Lakers, however, aren’t concerned one bit. Despite being the oldest player in the league, and coming off a season where he missed 27 matches due to a right foot injury, James is “100% healthy.” “He looks fine,” coach Darvin Ham said Thursday, via ESPN. “He looks like third- or fourth-year LeBron.” James averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists last season, his fifth with the Lakers. James, however, has yet to play a full season since arriving in Los […]

Phil Nevin won’t return as manager of Los Angeles Angels

Phil Nevin will not return as manager of the Los Angeles Angels, the team revealed Monday. The move comes a day after the club concluded the season at 73-89. The Angels didn’t schedule an end-of-the-season news conference with general manager Perry Minasian immediately after the season finale, raising questions about his future after three unsuccessful years in charge. Minasian will be available to the media Tuesday, the team stated. In making the official announcement, the Angels said that they have declined their option on Nevin’s contract for 2024. Los Angeles will have its fourth manager in six years since the departure […]

Lucas Giolito among host of Angels placed on waivers

The Los Angeles Angels placed nearly a quarter of their roster on waivers Tuesday, including starter Lucas Giolito, relievers Matt Moore, Reynaldo Lopez and Dominic Leone, and outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Randal Grichuk, prompting a flurry of intrigue leading up to Thursday when the teams that win the claims will be revealed, sources told ESPN. The use of waivers, in which the Angels essentially will give away the players for a $50,000 waiver fee and salary relief, stunned the baseball industry. Between now and the expiration of the waiver period Thursday, teams can place claims on players, who, in the meantime, are permitted to play. The team with the worst […]

Angels’ Shohei Ohtani has elbow tear, won’t pitch again this season

Shohei Ohtani has a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will not pitch again this season, Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian stated Wednesday night in Anaheim, California, a shocking twist in the lead-up to arguably the most highly anticipated free agency in baseball history. Ohtani exited his start in Game 1 of a doubleheader versus the Cincinnati Reds earlier Wednesday after recording just four outs and throwing only 26 pitches. A subsequent MRI revealed the tear, though Minasian said he did not know the severity of it. Ohtani nonetheless insisted on serving as the designated hitter in Game […]

Yankees lose 8 in row for first time since 1995 as Justin Turner leads Red Sox to 6-5 win

An overturned call at the plate in the eighth inning led to the latest loss in what’s become the New York Yankees’ worst season in decades. The Yankees extended a losing streak to eight for the first time in 28 years, allowing Justin Turner’s ninth-inning go-ahead double in a 6-5 defeat to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. “We got to be unbelievable the rest of the way,” manager Aaron Boone stated after the Yankees dropped to 60-64 and fell nine games behind Seattle for the AL’s last wild card spot. New York appeared to break a 5-5 tie in the eighth when Isiah […]

Dodgers’ Tony Gonsolin placed on IL, season likely over

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin has been placed on the 15-day injured list, with manager Dave Roberts telling reporters it is unlikely that Gonsolin pitches again this season. Gonsolin allowed five home runs in Friday’s 11-3 loss to the Miami Marlins, snapping the Dodgers’ 11-game winning streak. He surrendered a career-worst 10 earned runs on eight hits in 3⅓ innings. He stated after the game he has been dealing with an elbow problem. “I can’t explain it right now,” Gonsolin said. “I don’t know what it is exactly, so I try not to.” Roberts stated Gonsolin had been pitching through an “arm issue” for at […]

Angels acquire OF Randal Grichuk, 1B C.J. Cron from Rockies

The Los Angeles Angels bolstered their lineup in a trade with the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, getting infielder C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk along with cash considerations for minor league LHP Mason Albright and RHP Jake Madden. Cron, 33, has appeared in 56 matches with the Rockies this season, batting .260 with 11 home runs and 32 RBIs. He has spent time on the injured list this summer because of back spasms, returning to the lineup in late June. Cron hit 57 home runs and drove in 194 runs across 2021 and 2022, emerging as one of the Rockies best hitters. Grichuk, 31, has appeared in 64 […]
