Do the Timberwolves need a lineup change after Game 5 drubbing in San Antonio?
SAN ANTONIO — A long time ago, in a playoffs far, far away, the underdog Minnesota Timberwolves were facing elimination against the Memphis Grizzlies. They were letting yet another lead slip away in Game 6 of that 2022 first-round series, causing coach Chris Finch to do something drastic.He benched starting point guard D’Angelo Russell, one of the highest-profile players on the roster, in the fourth quarter for Jordan McLaughlin, an act of desperation as the Wolves’ season was slipping away. The...

What could Michal Postava's emergence mean for Red Wings and Sebastian Cossa?
The way Michal Postava’s Grand Rapids Griffins teammates talk about him, you’d never know that just two years ago, he was an undrafted goaltender in the Czech second division.“He’s nasty,” Griffins winger Jakub Rychlovský says.“I can’t score on him in practice,” forward Eduards Tralmaks adds, “as much as I try.”Advertisement
Could Denver Broncos' rookie Kage Casey start soon next to his new mentor, Garett Bolles?
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Amid the swirl of hugs, smiles and celebratory yells, Kage Casey felt his phone buzz. It was a FaceTime request. He didn’t recognize the number.“I was a little scared to pick it up,” said Casey, the offensive lineman from Boise State who received the call minutes after being selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of last month’s NFL Draft.Advertisement

BERKELEY, Calif. — Ron Rivera reached for his phone after he watched Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele throw for the first time.Cal’s general manager spent more than two decades as a coach in the NFL and learned many lessons, but two stick out: Football is a players’ game, and it’s a quarterback-driven sport.Advertisement
Should the Winnipeg Jets trade the No. 8 pick in the NHL Draft?
I experience an ugly, immediate gut reaction when NHL fans and media say the Winnipeg Jets should trade the No. 8 pick in this year’s NHL Draft.“You’re saying the Jets should mortgage more of the future for a core that just missed the playoffs?”It’s unkind, given my understanding of the suggestion. The Jets are trying to make the playoffs and win rounds when they get there. They’ve clearly just failed to do so, falling behind in a division led by Stanley Cup contenders Colorado, Minnesota, and D...

Jordan James, Romello Height and 8 other young 49ers poised to break out in 2026
The San Francisco 49ers’ under-25 club is becoming a bit more exclusive.Third-round pick Romello Height, for example, is already 25 after spending six seasons — at four schools — in college. Two other NFL Draft picks are 24, and undrafted rookie punter Jack Bouwmeester turned 27 earlier this month. That means he’s older than cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, a fifth-round pick in 2021.Advertisement

Flyers' Matvei Michkov must learn — and adapt — after season of inconsistency
VOORHEES, N.J. — It was an uncomfortable start to Matvei Michkov’s season-ending media availability on Tuesday at the Philadelphia Flyers’ training facility.

Blue Jackets' big-ticket extension with Charlie Coyle is a worthwhile risk
COLUMBUS, Ohio — If you believe Charlie Coyle’s $6 million salary beginning next season is a little steep for the Columbus Blue Jackets, you might have a point. Coyle, for now the club’s highest-paid forward, is probably the Jackets’ second- or third-line center.And if you have a problem with Coyle, who turned 34 in March, signing a six-year extension with the Blue Jackets — he’ll be 40 when it expires in 2032 — that’s a reasonable concern. Look around the NHL: How many players avoid a talent ba...
Nathan MacKinnon has been at his best in these playoffs: All business — right down to the flippers
Nathan MacKinnon’s visit to Minnesota started with goggles, flippers and a secretly filmed video of one of his pool workouts, released without his knowledge. The trip included a puck to the face, a brief trip to the dressing room and blood streaming down his face — but no stitches.It ended with an empty-net goal and the Colorado Avalanche’s most convincing win of the playoffs, one that leaves them a win away from their first Western Conference final berth since 2022.Advertisement
