Austin Reaves is not himself, putting the Lakers at an even bigger disadvantage
OKLAHOMA CITY — If it’s any solace for Austin Reaves — and the somber look on his face as he sat at his locker late Tuesday night would seem to indicate that it definitely is not — this is what the Oklahoma City Thunder defense does to almost every elite scorer.Even the healthy ones.But this brutal combination of ill-timed circumstances, with the Lakers guard pushing his way back early from an oblique injury early just in time to face the most ferocious collection of ballhawks in today’s game, i...

Which LIV players have the most value to the PGA Tour? It starts with Bryson DeChambeau
There are two truths in collision here.Yes, indeed, the PGA Tour won’t simply open its arms to LIV defectors if some request a return. As PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp recently told The Wall Street Journal, “There were rules, and they were broken. With rules comes accountability.” Especially in the case of the golfers who didn’t resign from the tour and, in turn, were in breach of contract playing on an unauthorized tour — especially those who sued the PGA Tour for antitrust violations. Ask Hudson S...

3 big questions for the Bruins this offseason: Defense, No. 1 center, impact wing
Nobody will be surprised if the Florida Panthers return to the playoffs in 2026-27. The Columbus Blue Jackets faded at the end but showed signs of momentum.

How much better can Gavin McKenna make the Maple Leafs right away?
For an organization that had no appetite for a long rebuild process, as per the mandate coming right from ownership, the Toronto Maple Leafs couldn’t have received a better boost to a retool than winning the draft lottery on Tuesday night.The Leafs entered the lottery with likely the most at stake in the entire NHL, given there was a 58.2 percent chance of losing their pick entirely as part of the Brandon Carlo trade made at the 2025 deadline.
