But his namesakes are about to enter the NBA, the first players with that name to do so since the late Hall of Famer. Bufkin was drafted No. 15 overall out of Michigan by the Hawks. Brown was selected No. 30 overall out of Missouri by the Clippers. NBA – Morant’s lawyers cite self-defense in pickup basketball lawsuit The future of a lawsuit accusing Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant of assaulting a teenager during a pickup basketball game hinges on whether Morant will be allowed to say that he was acting in self-defense and can receive immunity under Tennessee law. A judge on Wednesday allowed Morant’s lawyers to proceed with their case that Morant was acting in self-defense when he punched then-17-year-old Joshua Holloway during a game at Morant’s Memphis-area home in July 2022. Morant’s lawyers have acknowledged he punched Holloway one time after Holloway threw a basketball at Morant and the ball hit him in the chin. Morant has filed a countersuit against Holloway. Nassar – Suspect in stabbing said Nassar made lewd remark watching Wimbledon A prisoner suspected of stabbing Larry Nassar at a federal penitentiary in Florida said the disgraced former sports doctor provoked the attack by making a lewd comment while they were watching a Wimbledon tennis match. That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Court records show the inmate, identified as Shane McMillan, was previously convicted of assaulting a correctional officer at a federal penitentiary in Louisiana in 2006 and attempting to stab another inmate to death at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado in 2011. Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers who’ve represented McMillan in his past cases.

Next up for Medvedev is a matchup against No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, who eliminated Holger Rune. Ons Jabeur eliminated defending champion Elena Rybakina in a rematch of last year’s final to get back to the semifinals. Jabeur now meets Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, a winner against American Madison Keys.

Golf – Schauffele and Spieth say PGA Tour Commissioner Monahan has to earn back trust PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is set to return to work next week. Xander Schauffele says there are tough questions for him to answer about the tour’s stunning commercial deal with the Saudis. And he believes Monahan has some trust to earn back from the players because of the secretive nature of the deal with the Saudi Arabia wealth fund behind LIV Golf. Schauffele says Monahan had his trust and now has a lot less of it. Jordan Spieth also said Monahan will have quite a bit of trust issues with players. Scottie Scheffler says he wishes player representatives were kept in the loop.

NBA – Morant’s lawyers cite self-defense in pickup basketball lawsuit The future of a lawsuit accusing Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant of assaulting a teenager during a pickup basketball game hinges on whether Morant will be allowed to say that he was acting in self-defense and can receive immunity under Tennessee law. A judge on Wednesday allowed Morant’s lawyers to proceed with their case that Morant was acting in self-defense when he punched then-17-year-old Joshua Holloway during a game at Morant’s Memphis-area home in July 2022.

Court records show the inmate, identified as Shane McMillan, was previously convicted of assaulting a correctional officer at a federal penitentiary in Louisiana in 2006 and attempting to stab another inmate to death at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado in 2011. Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers who’ve represented McMillan in his past cases.

González drove him in with a double, stole third and scored when Urshela allowed catcher Chad Wallach’s throw to wind up in left field, stretching Chicago’s lead to 6-3.

González drove him in with a double, stole third and scored when Urshela allowed catcher Chad Wallach’s throw to wind up in left field, stretching Chicago’s lead to 6-3.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Texas Rangers 10, Detroit Tigers 6 Chicago White Sox 7, Los Angeles Angels 3 Chicago Cubs 2, Tampa Bay Rays 1 Rangers 10, Tigers 6 – Grant Anderson wins in relief in MLB debut, Rangers beat Tigers 10-6 Reliever Grant Anderson won in an overpowering major league debut and the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 10-6 on Tuesday night to improve to 35-19, the best record in franchise history at the one-third mark. Anderson stuck out seven of the nine batters he faced after taking over for starter Martín Pérez in the fifth inning. Texas second baseman Marcus Semien extended his hitting streak to a career-best 19 games with a fifth-inning single. Jonah Heim drove in four runs, Josh Jung homered and had three runs and Aroldis Garcia had four hits and three runs. Miguel Cabrera had three hits and drove in two runs for Detroit. Cabrera passed Ken Griffey Jr. for 15th place with 5,272 total bases. White Sox 7, Angels 3 – Vaughn drives in 3, González homers to help White Sox beat Angels 7-3 Andrew Vaughn drove in three runs, Romy González homered and the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3. The White Sox looked as if they were headed toward their fourth straight loss after Los Angeles raced out to a 3-1 lead against Lucas Giolito. But the White Sox turned it around in a big way, scoring five in the fourth against Tyler Anderson. Vaughn smacked a three-run double to put Chicago on top. González drove him in with a double, stole third and scored when Urshela allowed catcher Chad Wallach’s throw to wind up in left field, stretching Chicago’s lead to 6-3. González made it a four-run game with a solo homer in the sixth against Chase Silseth. Taylor Ward and Shohei Ohtani homered for Los Angeles. Cubs 2, Rays 1 – Hoerner homers, bullpen shines as Cubs beat McClanahan, Rays 2-1 Nico Hoerner homered and the Chicago Cubs made the most of a rare gaffe by Tampa Bay, handing Shane McClanahan his first loss of the season with a 2-1 victory over the Rays. The game was tied at 1 when Ian Happ led off the sixth with a shallow fly ball that dropped between Tampa Bay second baseman Brandon Lowe and right fielder Josh Lowe in a miscommunication between the fielders. After Seiya Suzuki struck out and Trey Mancini bounced to second, Mike Tauchman hit a tiebreaking RBI single into left field. That was enough for Chicago, which topped the majors’ best team for the second straight day after entering the series with a four-game losing streak.

Greene is hitting .294 in his second season and leads the team with 60 hits and 29 runs. Rodriguez is 4-4 in 11 starts with a 2.13 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 67 2/3 innings.

The series starts in Denver on Thursday night. The Heat got there by winning Game 7 of the East title series in Boston on Monday night. It came one year to the day after the Celtics won a Game 7 on Miami’s floor to win the East title a year ago.

Hayes was fouled with 9.4 seconds left and made two free throws for a three-point lead. Indiana found Lexie Hull open in the corner for a potential tying shot but her 3-pointer came up short.

NCAAMBB – North Carolina transfer Caleb Love commits to Arizona Caleb Love is now headed to Arizona. The North Carolina transfer tweeted that he will play next season with the Wildcats, less than a month after decommitting from Michigan. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 14.6 points and 3.3 assists in three seasons at North Carolina. He averaged 17.6 points in seven NCAA Tournament games, helping lead the Tar Heels to the 2022 national championship game. Love entered the transfer portal after leading North Carolina with 73 3-pointers as a junior and initially committed to Michigan. He decommitted from the Wolverines earlier this month, reportedly due to an admissions issue involving academic credits. NCAABB – Kentucky to house teams in dorms for regional due to hotel room shortage A shortage of hotel rooms in the Lexington area this weekend will require visiting baseball teams in the NCAA Tournament’s Lexington Regional to stay in dormitories on the Kentucky campus or in hotels more than 30 miles away. Kentucky is the No. 12 seed for the 64-team tournament and earned the right to host Ball State, Indiana and West Virginia for double-elimination play Friday through Monday. Several previously scheduled events in the Lexington area created a room shortage. Ball State and West Virginia spokesmen said their teams and staff would stay in the dorms. Indiana did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hoje, comentamos um pouco sobre o retorno da ala-pivô Elena Delle Donne, como ela deve retornar e seu impacto nas expectativas da temporada do Washington Mystics, além de dizermos nossos palpites para a Comissioner's Cup. Outros assuntos, como Maria Vadeeva não retornar para a segunda parte da temporada do Sparks, a recuperação da Tiffany Hayes e a trade deadline que se avizinha, também foram objetos de debate.
E neste episódio discutiremos a polêmica seleção das atletas para representar as norte-americanas nas Olimpíadas, que deixou de fora a pivô e atual presidente da WNBPA, Nneka Ogwumike, do Los Angeles Spark. Além disso, comentamos sobre o possível timing de recuperação de Elena Delle Donne, a MVP de 2019, do Washington Mystics e como a equipe tem segurado as pontas sem sua principal jogadora. Outro assunto foi a lesão recente da ala Tiffany Hayes e as implicações da sua ausência para o Dream. Por último, comentamos também sobre o New York Liberty e as principais adversidades da equipe.

Which UConn women's basketball team is the greatest in program history? That's a really tough question that's probably impossible to answer, but no matter what metric you use, the 2008-09 team deserves to be in the conversation. Led by Maya Moore, Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery, the Huskies went a perfect 39-0 to capture the program's sixth national championship, absolutely demolishing everyone in their path. UConn won every game by double digits, smashing just about every ranked opponent they faced, and in the past decade since this season all of the Huskies' starters have gone on to enjoy successful pro careers. More importantly, the players on this team have become social justice pioneers who are now at the forefront of the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement. Moore recently helped get an innocent man out of jail, sacrificing some of the prime years of her career in the process, and Montgomery and Tiffany Hayes recently announced they'll be opting out of the upcoming WNBA season to focus on activism. In terms of their accomplishments on and off the court, you'd be hard pressed to find a group of winners like this 2008-09 team. Alexa Philippou from the Hartford Courant joins us for this episode, where we break down this team, their legacy and their crowning achievement in the 2009 NCAA Championship game against Louisville, which was actually a much better and more competitive game than you probably remember!
