Golden Knights blast Panthers 9-3 in Game 5 to capture first Stanley Cup title

Golden Knights games have always been as flashy as any show on the Las Vegas Strip, the sword-fighting mascot taking the ice before what seems like a legion of players marching out through the mirrored entrance into the roar of the crowd. If this team was ever going to attain the Stanley Cup, it was going to do it with Vegas flash. The Knights delivered just that from dazzling passes to Mark Stone’s hat trick to all-out goal celebrations, capturing the young organization’s first title with a 9-3 romp over the beaten up and exhausted Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Coach Bruce Cassidy, […]

Heat shake off Game 4 loss, citing season done ‘the hard way’

As Jimmy Butler walked to the podium following the Miami Heat’s 116-99 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night, he was singing. It was Alicia Keys’ 2007 song “No One.” But the specific verse he closed with was, “Everything’s gonna be alright.” While Butler and the 8-seed Heat lamented that they couldn’t close out the Celtics and earn their second trip to the NBA Finals in four seasons, there remained an air of confidence within the group that it could go back to Boston for Thursday night’s Game 5 and find a way to win one more. “If anything, […]

76ers fire coach Doc Rivers after three seasons

The Philadelphia 76ers dismissed coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday, the team revealed. The Sixers were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals for a third consecutive season, losing 112-88 in Game 7 to the Boston Celtics on Sunday. The search for a new coach is expected to include Mike Budenholzer, Sam Cassell, Mike D’Antoni, Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel and Monty Williams, sources told ESPN. Rivers delivered a 154-82 (.653) record in his three seasons, including 54 victories in 2022-23 — the franchise’s most since 2000-01. The Sixers were one of three teams in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, according to ESPN Stats […]

Astros’ Jose Altuve resumes baseball activities, return not set

Jose Altuve restarted some baseball activities this week, but there still isn’t a timetable for when Houston’s star second baseman will return to the team. Altuve fractured his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic and had surgery to repair the injury March 22. After his surgery, Astros general manager Dana Brown stated he would be out at least eight weeks. It has been six weeks so far, and while Altuve was cleared to return to baseball activities this week — including throwing, running and fielding — he hasn’t been cleared to swing. “I think right now it’s hard to tell,” […]

Andres Gimenez, Cleveland Guardians reach extension

Second baseman Andrés Giménez and the Cleveland Guardians are in agreement on a seven-year $106.5 million contract extension that has a team option for 2031, sources told ESPN. This locks up another core member of the club that has finished first or second in the American League Central for the last seven seasons. Giménez, 24, had a breakout 2022 in which he made his first All-Star team, aquired a Gold Glove and finished behind only Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani in the AL with 7.4 Wins Above Replacement. Acquired as part of the blockbuster deal that sent All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets in January 2021, Giménez […]

‘Double loss’: Venezuela deflated after Altuve injury, WBC exit

It not only was a deflating loss for Team Venezuela — being ousted from the World Baseball Classic by Team USA on Saturday night — but the Houston Astros also lost All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve for an undetermined period of time after he suffered a right-hand injury during an at-bat. Altuve exited the match in the fifth inning after being drilled by a 96 mph fastball by Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard. Venezuela overcame a first-inning, three-run deficit and then managed a four-run rally after Altuve’s injury, but all their efforts proved futile when an eighth-inning grand slam from Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner secured the Americans’ 9-7 triumph […]

Bryce Harper (elbow) to report to Phillies camp Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper says he will report to spring training Wednesday as he continues recovering from elbow surgery and then determine when he can return full time. The two-time National League MVP was injured in April and last played right field April 16 in Miami. He underwent reconstructive right elbow surgery in November, causing him to miss the beginning of spring training. The 30-year-old will have some catching up to do when he arrives in Clearwater, Florida. His teammates have been adjusting to new pitch clock rules, part of Major League Baseball’s efforts to speed up the game. Looking for the […]

Kevin Durant, back from injury, scores 23 in winning Suns debut

It was here during All-Star Weekend 2019 that Kevin Durant solidified his decision to partner with Kyrie Irving when both became free agents the following summer. Four years later, a new partnership was unveiled in the same arena, this one with hope for a better outcome. Playing for the first time as a member of the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, Durant showed early signs of the potentially devastating one-two punch he can form with Devin Booker in a 105-91 win to snap the Charlotte Hornets’ five-game win streak. Durant scored 23 points in 27 minutes, his jumper looking rust-free after being out since Jan. 8 while recovering from a right […]

Carlos Beltran, back with Mets, thought ‘no chance’ he’d reunite with team

Carlos Beltran is back with the New York Mets — the same club that fired him just three years ago in the wake of his involvement in the Houston Astros’ cheating scandal. Beltran, set to initiate his new role as a special assistant to Mets general manager Billy Eppler, was asked Wednesday if he ever thought he would work for the franchise again. “No chance,” Beltran responded. “That’s how the world goes around.” Beltran, a nine-time All-Star who spent parts of seven seasons as a standout center fielder for the Mets, spent last season as an analyst for the YES Network but said […]

Bulls rule guard Lonzo Ball (knee) out remainder of season

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season, the team revealed Tuesday morning, as Ball continues to experience discomfort during basketball activities despite arthroscopic knee surgery before the season. Ball did not appear in a game this season and has not played since Jan. 14, 2022. He has undergone two surgeries on his left knee since then — in late January 2022 and again in September at the start of training camp — but despite some small improvements in recent months, he has still not been able to run, cut or jump without pain. “Despite making significant increases […]
