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 […]

Hornets’ Miles Bridges ‘anxious’ for return after 583 days

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is “anxious” to make his return to NBA action, saying it feels “like the first day of school.” Bridges is set to return to the court Friday night for the first time in 583 days versus  the Milwaukee Bucks for an NBA in-season tournament game after sitting out all of last season and completing a 10-game suspension this year for his role in a domestic violence case in 2022. Bridges’ return comes even as he has a pending court date for allegedly violating a protection order stemming from the domestic violence incident that derailed his NBA career more than 16 months ago.

Carlos Alcaraz takes care of business in Wimbledon opener

In just his third Wimbledon tournament, Carlos Alcaraz is already one of the main men to defeat. The top-seeded Spanish player hasn’t been past the fourth round at the All England Club, but he has become the primary threat in Novak Djokovic’s quest for a record-equaling eighth men’s title at the grass-court Grand Slam. On Tuesday, Alcaraz defeated Jeremy Chardy 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 on Court 1 — a fitting location for the No. 1 player in the world. The match was played under the roof because rain affected play on the outside courts for the second consecutive day. “Obviously without the roof, with sun, […]
