Kawhi Leonard wasn’t going to let an injury slow him down.The 27-year-old star appeared to injure his leg after finishing a layup and was walking with a noticeable limp during the first half of the Raptors’ Game 3 matchup with the Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals Sunday.Leonard, however, remained in the game and led his team to a 118-112 win in double overtime.He was asked about the injury during a postgame interview with TNT.“I’m feeling alright,” Leonard said. “This is playoff basketball. Everybody is hurting. Just have to keep fighting.”Despite the injury, Leonard scored 36 points on 11-of-25 shooting in a game-high 52 minutes of action.

The Raptors needed a victory in the worst possible way Sunday night at home in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Toronto down 2-0, a loss would have put the Raptors in a position no team has ever come back from in NBA playoff history.With the home crowd on their side, the Raptors jumped out to an early lead and were up 30-21 after the first quarter. That lead shrunk by two points heading into halftime as the Bucks kept themselves in it with a 30-point second quarter. By the end of three, Toronto’s lead was just two points, setting up a do-or-die fourth quarter for the home team. However, after four quarters, nothing had been decided.The two teams were tied at 113 apiece after the initial extra period, and it took two overtime periods to decide this game. In the end, Kawhi Leonard took over the second overtime period and the Raptors won, 118-112....

Birdies, bogeys, wind, rough and jeers. Inside the wild, tense 47 minutes when Bethpage devolved into anarchy

TORONTO — Nearly 90 minutes after temporarily saving Toronto’s season, All-Star Kawhi Leonard emerged from the trainer’s room, exhausted but finally victorious after a game against Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference finals.Earlier Sunday evening, Leonard played a career-high 52 minutes with the toughest of playoff assignments: defend Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo on one end of the court and provide enough offense on the other end so that his team had a chance — just a chance, no guarantees — to beat Milwaukee.BOX SCORE: RAPTORS 118, BUCKS 112 (2OT)“It’s playoff basketball,” Leonard said. “I want to win. ... We’re still here. Nobody wants to go home. We’re going to keep striving to reach that goal. That’s what I pride myself on, both ends of the floor.”...

The city of Toronto had it's fair share of sports moments , from Jose Bautista's bat flip to Joe Carter's walk off homerun to win the 1993 World Series.

Toronto Raptors superfan Drake was in his customary front-row seat for Sunday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks.The rapper was his normal talkative self during the game as well, much like he was against the Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers in their second round matchup.It was a must-win game for the Raptors, who dropped the first two games of the series in Milwaukee.Drake tried to his best to get into Giannis Antetokounmpo's head in the second half as he was seen talking trash to the likely NBA MVP as he walked past him to the bench.And here's the best part, Giannis had no reaction to it:Drake then waved goodbye to Giannis when fouled out in the second OT:...

The Toronto Raptors were fighting for the lives in Sunday's Game 3 of their Eastern Conference final against the Milwaukee Bucks.A loss would put them down 0-3 in the series and pretty much be an end to their season, as four straight wins against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the team with the NBA's best record in the regular season wouldn't seem likely to happen.So they couldn't afford to make any mistakes in front of their home crowd.But that's exactly what center Marc Gasol did when he passed up a dunk so he could instead fling a wild pass toward the opposite end of the court.Seriously, what was he thinking here?Twitter had thoughts:MORE:NCSA: Five common recruiting mythsThis photo of Kyler Murray led to more speculation about his height...

Brooks Koepka's second shot on the final hole of the PGA Championship on Sunday was arguably the biggest shot of the tournament.And the CBS broadcast totally messed it up.Instead of sticking with Koepka and breaking down his shot, which was a very difficult one from an ugly lie in front of a bunker that could have gone anywhere and could have cost him his two-stroke lead, CBS cut to a post-round interview with Dustin Johnson.Which was just terrible timing and angered fans watching the drama unfold on TV.Koepka eventually chipped out to the fairway and then wrapped up his fourth major victory with an incredible par, but fans were angry over the coverage on his second shot, and rightfully so. All of the focus should have been on that and not some interview that could have aired after....

The Milan rivalry is hotting up after Inter Milan's defeat by Napoli left them in a fight with AC Milan and two other sides for the remaining two top-four places.The two clubs in Italy's second city sit fourth and fifth in the table with one game remaining, and third-placed Atalanta looking likely to stop one of them from reaching next season's Champions League.Inter could have sealed their Champions League spot on Sunday, but were soundly beaten 4-1 at confirmed runners-up Napoli, with only a late penalty from Mauro Icardi - who earlier in the weekend rubbished rumours he will leave the club with whom he has grown an increasingly fractious relationship.Both Milan sides could qualify if they win on the final day and Atalanta drop points at home to 10th-placed Sassuolo, while Roma in sixth could still mathematically sneak fourth to leave Milan without a club in the Champions League altogether....

TORONTO -- Nothing in the NBA playoffs goes off as planned.Lineup rotations can be tweaked and defensive coverages can be refined, but no matter how much preparation has been performed, the crucial minutes of a playoff game are nothing more than a desperate exercise in survival. Every possession is a fire drill, and few of them resemble the inspired plays drawn up on crisp whiteboards by basketball brainiacs when all is at peace.For the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night, fighting for their postseason lives, unforeseen circumstances were the norm. Kawhi Leonard landed awkwardly in the first quarter with questions swirling throughout the game about his condition.Their starting point guard, Kyle Lowry, fouled out of the game with more than six minutes remaining in regulation. Their most productive offensive guard in Game 3 was reserve Norman Powell -- and he fouled out five minutes later. That left the Raptors with a backcourt of Danny Green and Fred VanVleet, who had shot a collective 2-for-20 on the night. With seven seconds remaining in regulation, Pascal Siakam -- a 78.5 percent shooter at the line this season -- had an opportunity to secure the win with a pair of free throws but missed both....

The race to make the Tokyo Olympics is hotting up and it is getting very lively for Molly Thompson-Smith.The 21-year-old Sky Sports Scholar is still feeling the effects of major hand surgery 17 months ago and she has just returned from China for the latest Bouldering World Cup events.Molly reveals her latest struggles for fitness but remains excited about her development with a new Lead season on the horizon....The China tour is always the toughest two rounds of the competition season, with jet lag, unfamiliar food, lack of training and loads of other challenges threatening optimal performance.Unfortunately, at the beginning of March I suffered a finger injury, and to my surprise I found myself still struggling to manage it two months later....

Wayne Riley hails Brooks Koepka's PGA Championship victory and looks at whether he can get to Tiger Woods' major total. Bethpage Black may as well have been called Brooks Koepka Country Club until Sunday, as the rest of the field just couldn't live with him!The course is the kind of venue that played right into Koepka's hands, given how strong he is, as he could pound it miles off the tee and was also able to generate the power to gouge out onto the greens when he found the rough.Koepka knows how good he is and walks around the golf course in a nonchalant manner like nothing seems to phase him. Sometimes that can come across as being a little cocky, but why wouldn't you be having a game like that?!...

Massimiliano Allegri says he is keen to find a new club for next season ahead of his departure from Juventus.Juventus decided it was best to part ways with the Italian after discussions about the club's future, Allegri revealed last week.But after winning five Serie A titles in a row, Allegri insists he is "not particularly looking for a year off"."I'll only take a sabbatical if I have to, but otherwise the idea is to find a project that convinces me. Life is full of surprises and you have to be ready for anything," said Allegri, whose contract was due to run out in the summer of 2020."I spoke to the president (Andrea Agnelli) after Ajax (knocked Juventus out of the Champions League) and we had the plans to continue, but over the last six weeks or so we all came together and reached the same conclusion....

TORONTO -- So much of this season for Kawhi Leonard has been spent on the topic of load management.Well, load management went out the window Sunday night.With his Toronto Raptors' season on the line, Leonard played a career-high 52 minutes -- almost all of them coming after he landed awkwardly following a layup in the first quarter. And he put up his latest stellar line, finishing with 36 points, nine rebounds and five assists to lead his Raptors to a 118-112 victory in double overtime over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.The win got the Raptors back into the series, as they now trail 2-1 to the Bucks in this best-of-seven affair -- thanks mostly to Leonard's latest heroics, which came exactly a week after Leonard kept Toronto's season alive here with his miraculous buzzer-beater to close out the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of Eastern Conference semifinals....

Rob Lee reviews a dramatic final day at the PGA Championship and reflects on Brooks Koepka's successful title defence. What we saw was Bethpage Black play as the fearsome course we all thought we were going to find at the start of the week. There were under par scores available but with a bit of a breeze across the golf course, it proved to be so tough.It was an unbelievable week for golf and a fantastic win for Brooks Koepka, but he had to dig really deep at the end. Koepka had to tell himself that it was a tough day and he was going to drop shots as other people would make mistakes.Koepka really had to gather his thoughts and after Dustin Johnson started to come at him and when he blew his shot over the 14th green to drop a shot, it started to get a little bit tricky for him....

Israel Folau had not appealed the termination of his contract due to anti-LGBT social media posts before Monday's deadline, so his sacking will now go ahead, Rugby Australia said in a statement.Folau's £2.15m, four-year deal was ripped up on Friday after an independent panel backed RA's position that the comments he made online on April 10 warranted his sacking, rather than a fine or suspension.The 30-year-old devout Christian said on his Instagram account that "hell awaits" for "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters", in a post that remains visible.On Friday, Folau said he was considering his options after being left "deeply saddened" by the outcome....

Without making any big splashes, the Colts may have set themselves up for a major statement in 2019. 

Bryce Harper hit one of the longest home runs you’re ever likely to see on Saturday. On Sunday, he was back at it with another moon shot.Check out this two-run blast from the Philadelphia Phillies star.Per Jeff Skversky of 6ABC in Philly, the past two home runs Harper has hit have traveled an estimated 870 feet combined.Sure, Harper’s average stinks. Yet clearly he’s making an impact.Related slideshow: 2019 MLB season (provided by imagn)...

© USA TODAY USA TODAY Had Brooks Koepka found the green on No. 12 during the final round of the Masters, he may very well be 18 holes away from his fourth major championship in 11 months.Koepka, however, rinsed his tee shot on that historic day. He double-bogeyed 12 about 15 minutes before Tiger Woods would post a Masters-clinching par. Woods would eventually beat Koepka, Xander Schauffele and Dustin Johnson by one shot at Augusta National.Since that ill-fated moment on 12, Koepka beat Woods by a total of 18 shots over 42 holes head-to-head before Tiger bowed out at Bethpage Black Friday.: 101st PGA ChampionshipIt's likely Koepka will have to settle for merely participating in his second consecutive Wanamaker Trophy award ceremony sometime around 7 p.m. Sunday after winning the 101st PGA Championship. A victory would overlap his two straight U.S. Open titles - including the one won at Shinnecock Hills last June 53 miles to the east on Long Island....

Draymond Green has certainly been known to flop a bit during his time as an NBA star with the Golden State Warriors, but it appears he is trying to amend his ways.Speaking with reporters, Green relayed a story about how he was watching his son play basketball at home when the kiddo started flopping. That was an alarm bell for Green that caused him to change his thinking.Here’s a video of Green sharing the anecdote:For what it’s worth, it does seem like perhaps Green has mellowed down a little bit on the flopping of late. Though, it might take him quite some time to put a permanent end to his “And One!” exclamations every time he drives to the hoop.Related slideshow: 2019 NBA playoffs (Provided by imagn)...

Alexis Sanchez has been linked with Juventus and Inter Milan after struggling to find form at Manchester United - but what's gone wrong for the Chile international?It's been one of the great mysteries of the season: what has happened to Alexis Sanchez?At Arsenal, he finished the 2016/17 season on 24 league goals, just five shy of Golden Boot winner Harry Kane, and won the Gunners' Player of the Season award in recognition of his outstanding campaign.He then hit seven Premier League goals in 19 appearances at the start of the following season before, amid growing speculation over his expiring contract, Arsenal agreed an exchange deal with Manchester United in January 2018, with United's out-of-favour playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan moving to the Emirates....

Five-nil.It's a scoreline that Australian cricket fans have been able to taunt their English counterparts with for years.2006/07 Ashes: Australia 5 England 0. 2013/14 Ashes: Australia 5 England 0.

Dillian Whyte says Tyson Fury makes "no sense" after his British heavyweight rival made a sudden U-turn to welcome a potential fight.The Brixton man has been linked with Fury after WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman suggested the duo could meet in a possible WBC final eliminator, and Whyte had insisted he would take the fight.Whyte returns on Box Office Fury initially played down the bout, then said he would be willing to face Whyte if the WBC 'Diamond' title is at stake, but Whyte is unsure whether he should take these comments seriously."He says one thing today then he says something else tomorrow," Whyte told Sky Sports. "He went from saying 'I'm not fighting Dillian, the WBC should give him his chance, he's done everything he needs to do.' The next he says 'Yeah, I'll fight him and knock him out in six rounds'....

One evening in late 2018, Italian agent Federico Pastorello stared at the unknown number lighting up his phone and debated whether he should answer. He made the right decision and soon he was chatting to Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker, having decided to leave his then representative Mino Raiola, had decided Pastorello was the man to trust with his career plan.Lukaku had done his homework. He spoke to Pastorello clients Patrice Evra and Kevin Prince-Boateng, receiving a glowing recommendation from both.As Pastorello speaks to Sky Sports News from a central London hotel, he offers insights into why he believes Manchester United will have no trouble attracting top players this summer, explains why the Premier League has got it right in their approach to agents and offers a glimpse into what it takes to run a football agency in 2019....

The latest instalment of our Tackling Racism series focuses on the rise of anti-Semitism in football and whether it is acceptable to use the Y’ word.There have only been 12 Jewish players in the history of the Premier League yet statistics from football's anti-racism campaign Kick It Out showed 10 per cent of all discrimination reports during the 2017-18 season related to anti-Semitism.John Mann chairs the All-Parliamentary Group against anti-Semitism and has worked on eradicating racism in football.He told Sky Sports News: "Anti-Semitism in football is now being taken seriously but the problems haven't decreased."The levels of anti-Semitism directed against Tottenham and their fans when they are playing is appalling. In any other walk of life in this country it would not be accepted and the 'Y' word itself is a key part of the problem....

Rich Beem looks back at an impressive performance at the PGA Championship and reflects on an emotional week at Bethpage Black. This week was so much fun and I'm not sure how you begin to explain rounds of 69, 82 and 69, but that's exactly what happened after an opening 75 on Thursday!The whole tournament was strange for me as nothing went right for 27 holes and then everything went right with that back-nine on Friday, only for nothing to go right on Saturday but then being able to finish so well on Sunday.That spell on Friday to make the cut all happened so quickly, mainly because I was alongside two quick players in John Daly and Y.E Yang! I made the putt at 13 and figured out how to get it close at 14, then all of a sudden 16, 17 and 18 happened!...

TORONTO — Exhale, Toronto. You’re back in this series.You almost weren’t. You came oh-so-close to giving back a win Milwaukee tried to gift-wrap to you. The Raptors took Game 3 of these conference finals: a 118-112, double overtime … what exactly? What’s the word that best describes what played out over 58 minutes on Sunday night?A classic? Hardly. Neither team shot better than 40% from the floor and neither cracked 38% from three. The Bucks nailed the bad shooting trifecta, connecting on 66.7% of their free throws. The presumptive MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, scored 12 points, airballed a fourth-quarter free throw, missed layups and fouled out early in the second overtime. Khris Middleton, Milwaukee’s marksman, was 3-16 from the floor....

Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni wants to coach at least three more seasons, he told ESPN on Sunday. The 68-year-old D'Antoni has had preliminary discussions with the team to go over the framework of an extension to keep him from entering the final year of his contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski."I've let [general manager] Daryl [Morey] and [team owner] Tilman [Fertitta] know that I'm energized to keep coaching—and believe that I can continue to do this at a high level for at least another three years," D'Antoni said."I want to be a part of a championship here."The Rockets exited the NBA playoffs this year with a loss to the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals. Fertitta called the Rockets' Game 6 home loss that eliminated them "unacceptable." The Warriors knocked the Rockets out of the postseason the year before as well. ...

NEW YORK -- This coming week has the potential to be the most important of the New York Yankees ' schedule. Feel free to consider that hyperbole. But it's not.If by late September the American League East race and/or the wild-card chase end up coming down to the regular season's final seven days, and the Yankees are in the thick of the action, just remember this story and this week. And if the Yankees go on a tear this week that they ride the rest of the year to a comfortable AL East lead, remember this story and this week.(And, of course, if none of that happens, go on and burn this piece from your memory.)Because of this weekend's series win over the Tampa Bay Rays -- punctuated by Sunday's 13-5 thumping by the Yankees -- the Bronx Bombers are now in first place in the AL East. They're also in prime position to stay there for quite some time, thanks in large part to what they have ahead of them on the near horizon....

The New York Mets just had the worst weekend of the season. Not the worst weekend for the Mets, the worst weekend of any team in the majors.They went into Miami with a 20-22 record, facing the worst team in the majors, a team riding a seven-game losing streak and a loser of 14 of its past 16. The Marlins had scored just eight runs in those seven defeats without hitting a single home run. This wasn't just a bad team with a bad offense, but a bad team with a historically awful offense. The Mets had Jacob deGrom starting on Friday and Noah Syndergaard on Sunday. It was a golden opportunity to win three in a row and climb back over .500.This is why Vegas always wins in the end.Friday: The Marlins win 8-6 as they score seven runs -- including a home run -- off deGrom in five innings. "Tonight's on me. I did a terrible job out there," deGrom said, saying he's not able to throw the ball where he wants to right now. At one point, Robinson Cano failed to run out an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play, later saying he thought there were two outs....

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- The winds were howling, the skies above Bethpage Black were darkening and, yes, the terminator named Brooks Koepka was showing his human frailty in a most alarming way. He was choking. How does one stop choking when everyone is enjoying the spectacle and nobody is willing to offer first aid?We're still in the lead. We're still in the lead, his caddie, Ricky Elliott, kept telling him. But after four consecutive bogeys on the back nine, what had been a seven-stroke lead -- the largest 54-hole lead in PGA Championship history -- was down to one with four holes to play and Koepka's friend turned enemy, Dustin Johnson, ready to take the Long Island major that Koepka took from him at Shinnecock Hills last year....

CARSON, Calif. — Andre Shinyashiki scored late, Tim Howard had his first shutout of the season and the Colorado Rapids beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 on Sunday night for their first win of the season.Howard finished with a season-high six saves for Colorado (1-9-2), which snapped an 11-game winless streak, including eight consecutive losses.Shinyashiki, on the counter-attack, brought it down the middle and tapped it to Kei Kamara, whose shot from the center of the box was stopped by sliding goalkeeper David Bingham. The rebound bounced to Shinyashiki, who first-timed a left-footer into an empty net from near the spot in the 82nd minute.Los Angeles was without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who leads the team with nine goals this season, who served the first of a two-game suspension for violent conduct. The Galaxy (7-5-1) have lost four in a row....

The Philadelphia Phillies moved Rhys Hoskins to first base after his disastrous season defensively in left field last year, and the veteran has been an adventure at his new position, too.Hoskins made his fifth error of the season in the top of the first inning of Philly’s game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, and it was an embarrassing one. He thought he had scooped up a weak ground ball from Nolan Arenado and applied the tag, only the ball was never in his glove.Hoskins is hitting .267 with 11 home runs and 36 RBI this season, so it goes without saying that he is a valuable piece of the Phillies’ lineup. It’s unfortunate that they play in the National League, because he has designated hitter written all over him....

PGA Championship 2019: Phil Mickelson inexplicably hits 3-wood from impossible lie, proves he knows what he's doing

After eight seasons, the hit TV show Game of Thrones has come to an end. In the years since its premiere in 2011, the HBO fantasy epic based off George R.R. Martin's best-selling book series swept across the world, gaining many fans, including athletes. The series was a hit in MLB clubhouses and recently retired Eagles star Chris Long has been writing weekly episode recaps on the show's finale season for Sports Illustrated. Whether fans loved or hated the final season, parting with a beloved show is always going to bring the feels and comments. Here's how famous athletes bid farewell to the show and just be sure to read at your own risk due to spoilers:Between sports comparisons and the nostalgia for seasons past, these stars had plenty to say about the hit show. ...

BETHPAGE, N.Y. — Damn near everybody at Bethpage Black was trying to get inside Brooks Koepka’s head, and even his caddie couldn’t do it. The fans were screaming for the charging Dustin Johnson. Koepka was making four straight bogeys to encourage them. His caddie, Ricky Elliott, said, “It’s the most nervous I’ve ever seen Brooks in my life.” Koepka said, “No, I wasn't nervous. I was just in shock, I think. I was in shock of what was kind of going on.”Brooks Koepka is golf’s repeat king. His résumé is an echo chamber: Brooks Koepka, Brooks Koepka, U.S Open champion, U.S. Open champion, PGA champion, PGA champion. That’s two back-to-backs, four majors in eight tries, and you know what? This PGA was the easiest to us and the hardest for him....

TORONTO — Kawhi Leonard scored 36 points, including eight in the second overtime, and the Toronto Raptors beat Milwaukee 118-112 on Sunday night to cut the Bucks' lead to 2-1 in the Eastern Conference finals.Pascal Siakam had 25 points and 11 rebounds, Norman Powell scored 19 points before fouling out, and Marc Gasol had 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Raptors will try to draw even when they host Game 4 on Tuesday night.Giannis Antetokounmpo had 12 points and 23 rebounds before fouling out with 4:24 to go in the second overtime. Antetokounmpo shot 5 for 16.Toronto won despite guards Kyle Lowry and Powell both fouling out in the fourth quarter. Siakam also missed a pair of free throws with 7.4 seconds left in regulation that could have iced the game for the Raptors....

A big star made his WWE comeback at Money In The Bank and there were three title changes at a chaotic event.Brock Lesnar was the surprise return, making his way to the ring in the final moments of the men's ladder match to prevent Ali from taking the briefcase.His arrival came at the end of an enormously brutal match which saw Finn Balor take a sunset flip, a chokeslam and a suplex onto a ladder and Ali deliver a Spanish Fly on Andrade from a ladder.The women's match also saw a similar number of high spots, with Carmella requiring medical treatment after her ankle was caught in the steps of a ladder and Ember Moon delivering his Eclipse finisher off a ladder.But the victory - and the briefcase - went to Bayley, and she wasted no time in cashing in her championship opportunity....

BETHPAGE, N.Y. — Dustin Johnson did not watch himself lose the PGA Championship on Sunday. He had plenty of chances. There were screens everywhere. He loped off the course and lingered briefly in the scoring tent, where a TV showed Brooks Koepka teeing off on No. 17. Johnson did not look up. He spent that time signing balls for the marshal and standard-bearer who had followed him.He made his way to the Golf Channel on NBC tent, where the TV in front of him showed Koepka on the 17th fairway. Johnson stared behind him, at the graphic of his own scorecard.Next he went in for a Sky Sports interview. Again the TV in front of him offered a chance to watch Koepka. Johnson glanced down, caught a glimpse of Koepka on the 18th fairway, groaned and looked back up....

The Houston Rockets and coach Mike D'Antoni have had preliminary discussions on the framework of a contract extension that would keep the two-time NBA Coach of the Year from entering the final year of his deal."I've let [general manager] Daryl [Morey] and [team owner] Tilman [Fertitta] know that I'm energized to keep coaching --- and believe that I can continue to do this at a high level for at least another three years," D'Antoni, 68, told ESPN on Sunday night."I want to be a part of a championship here."It is unclear how significant of a commitment the Rockets are willing to make to D'Antoni, who told ESPN he prefers to avoid entering the final year of his original four-year contract in 2019-20 without an extension....

With reports that Jets coach and interim G.M. Adam Gase didn’t want Le'Veon Bell (overstated) and/or that Gase thinks the Jets paid too much for Bell (correctly stated), chatter has emerged that the Jets could trade Bell.If Gase is inclined to do it, now’s the time given his current power and control over the team. And John Clayton, formerly of ESPN and now a radio host in Seattle, recently said just enough on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh to get people thinking that a trade could happen: “If there’s a suitor, I could absolutely see the Jets trading him before the start of the season.”It’s more likely that the Jets will have a suitor than that the Jets would trade him, however, because Bell already has earned $12 million via signing and roster bonuses. A new team could get him for five years, $40.5 million. That’s the ballpark that likely would have gotten the 49ers to bite in March, but now that the 49ers have signed Tevin Coleman (and already have Jerick McKinnon entering the season year of his own big-money, free-agency deal) they’d likely be interested only if they have (another) rash of ACL tears....

Kyler Murray's height has come back into question after a photo made the Arizona Cardinals quarterback look particularly small.Murray, the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, got a front-row spot for a photo at the NFL Players Association's rookie premiere. He stood next to his former Sooners teammate and current Ravens receiver Marquise Brown. But Murray looked shorter than Brown, who is listed at 5-foot-9. Murray, meanwhile, measured in at 5-foot-10 at the 2019 NFL Combine. That measurement helped galvanize his status as a top draft pick.Here's a look at the photo.Because of the angle of the photo, it's tough to say with certainty that Brown is taller than Murray. To overanalyze it, Murray's posture looks a little hunched, and he also seems to be a step in front Brown. The hunch would make him shorter (of course), but the step forward should make him look taller. Perhaps we've got some sort of optical illusion....

It would be a surprise at this point if Kevin Durant decided to re-sign with the Warriors this summer, and there has been no shortage of reasons cited for why the soon-to-be free agent is looking to leave Golden State. Could the head coach be among those reasons?Steve Popper of Newsday spoke with several NBA executives about Durant at the NBA combine last week, and the general consensus is that Durant is a lock to sign with the New York Knicks. According to one exec, two of the issues Durant is having in Golden State are that he is tired of “prodding” from Steve Kerr and knows the Warriors will always be Stephen Curry’s team. With the Knicks, Durant would be the centerpiece of a tortured franchise rather than a superstar who joined a championship team just to get a ring....

A Cleveland Marathon runner has died after collapsing at the race Sunday morning. Taylor Ceepo, 22, was brought to University Hosptials and was dead on arrival, reports Cleveland.com. According to Cleveland.com, the hospital couldn't provide further information because of patient privacy and a cause of death was still unknown. Temperatures reached above 80 degrees in the late morning, with the normal temperature reaching a high of 70 degrees. Ceepo was a recent graduate of Walsh University and played on the school's soccer team."It is my sad duty to inform you that a beloved member of our Walsh family, Ms. Taylor Ceepo, collapsed today while running the Cleveland marathon and has passed away," Amy Malaska, Walsh vice president for student affairs, wrote in a statement, according to Cleveland.com. "... Her mother, dear friends and her boyfriend (also a Walsh student) were with her. Our love and deepest sympathies go to her family and loved ones. Your Walsh family will keep you all in prayer."...

WASHINGTON — The Chicago Cubs have dropped their protest over the pitching delivery of Washington reliever Sean Doolittle.Cubs manager Joe Maddon made the announcement before Sunday night’s game against the Nationals.Maddon came out twice in the ninth inning of a 5-2 loss Saturday night to complain to plate umpire San Holbrook about Doolittle. Maddon said he believed the left-handed Doolittle was tapping his right toe on the ground before coming to the plate.Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr. was informed at the end of spring training that his delivery, which featured a similar toe-tap, was illegal. That ruling miffed Maddon and the Cubs.“The whole thing I really wanted to get done was to protect Carl,” Maddon said Sunday. “I really didn’t anticipate a whole lot to be done with (the protest) even though I still don’t agree with the conclusion because I think it’s exactly what Carl did, only a different version of it....

Brooks Koepka described his fourth major win in less than two years as his "most satisfying" after stumbling over the line at the PGA Championship.Koepka looked in danger of throwing away a seven-shot lead on the final day when he bogeyed four in a row after the turn on a dramatic Sunday at Bethpage Black, with his close friend Dustin Johnson closing within one with three to play.But Johnson followed his birdie at the 15th with consecutive bogeys at 16 and 17 which gave Koepka some much-needed breathing room, and another dropped shot at the 17th from the defending champion mattered little in the outcome.A scrambled par at the last completed an erratic, closing 74 and a two-shot victory, making him the first player to successfully defend the Wanamaker Trophy since Tiger Woods, and he admitted his stress levels had been alarmingly high down the stretch....

Following a rough start to the season, former NFL quarterback and current Syracuse Met Tim Tebow hit his first Triple-A home run on Sunday.The Heisman winner has a .157 batting average (17-for-108) in 34 games this year for Syracuse. Tebow had just 10 hits and was batting .130 with 32 strikeouts in Syracuse's first 23 games of the season.But Tebow turned his luck around Sunday, hitting his first-career, Triple-A homer over the rightfield wall against the Columbus Clippers. Teammates gave him the traditional silent treatment before surrounding and congratulating him. Tebow is in his third year as a minor leaguer. The 31-year-old has yet to make his major league debut, having made appearances at the Class-A, Single-A and Double-A levels....

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Brooks Koepka took his place in PGA Championship history with a victory, minus the style points.In a raging wind that turned Bethpage Black into a beast, Koepka lost all but one shot of his record seven-shot lead on Sunday. He lost the brutal Long Island crowd, which began chanting "DJ!" for Dustin Johnson as Koepka was on his way to a fourth straight bogey.But Koepka delivered the key shots over the closing stretch as Johnson faded with two straight bogeys, closed with a 4-over 74 for a two-shot victory and joined Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship since it went to stroke play in 1958.Koepka said at the start of the week that majors are sometimes the easiest to win....

Dustin Johnson was left to rue a disappointing last three holes after he was pipped to the PGA Championship title by his close friend Brooks Koepka.Johnson began the final round seven shots adrift of his Ryder Cup team-mate, but he piled the pressure on the leader with an outward 32 before Koepka made four consecutive bogeys after the turn.A birdie at the 15th from Johnson suddenly got him within one of the lead, but the former US Open champion then made crucial mistakes on the next two holes and could not save par on either.He did manage to scramble a four at the last after carving his drive way right, but it was not enough to deny Koepka a two-shot victory and a successful defence of the Wanamaker Trophy....

Brooks Koepka survived a back-nine collapse and a final-round fightback from Dustin Johnson to cling on for victory at the PGA Championship. The defending champion took a seven-shot lead into the final round at Bethpage Black and remained six ahead with eight holes to play, only to see his lead cut to one after four consecutive bogeys.Johnson dropped shots on two of his last three holes to close out a one-under 69 and set the target at six under, as Koepka stuttered home with a four-over 74 to secure a two-stroke win.The wire-to-wire victory is Koepka's fourth major win in eight starts and sees him leapfrog Johnson as world No 1, with the 29-year-old become the first player to win both the US Open and PGA Championship in back-to-back years....

NEW YORK — Early Sunday morning, half an hour after midnight, the heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder ascended a stage deep inside the Barclays Center. He wore a black patterned suit, a bedazzled black dress shirt and gold bracelets on his right wrist. Cameras crammed onto a platform in the back. The room, filled with supporters and reporters, burst into applause.At the lectern, though, Wilder remained atypically subdued. Gone were the usual shouts of “Bomb Squad!,” the threats he issued to Dominic Breazeale last week, even the charisma normally oozed from boxing’s greatest showman. And this on a night he ended in two minutes and 17 seconds, with a thrilling, stunning knockout that actually hurt to watch. He said he didn’t feel the punch; he just knew, and those kinds of blows are the most serious....

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Beautiful. Dazzling. Frenetic. Unfair.A lot of adjectives have been used to describe the Golden State Warriors' dynastic run since Steve Kerr took over as coach before the 2014-15 season. Here's one that you don't often hear: Tough.But after watching this team rattle off four straight wins since Kevin Durant's injury, including sending the starving Houston Rockets home for the summer without any dinner and becoming the first NBA team to overcome back-to-back second-half deficits of at least 13 points in Saturday's 110-99 Game 3 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State's toughness should be the first thing on our minds.Often when the Warriors go on their patented third-quarter runs, the response is something to the tune of, "well, they finally decided to start playing." The default, because of the team's roster, style and success, is that if they're losing then they're not trying. People forget just how hard it is to win -- particularly in the playoffs -- and how good every single NBA player is. Hell, we saw Meyers Leonard look like the second coming of Dirk Nowitzki for about a five-minute stretch of Game 3....

With Brooks Koepka firmly in control, golfers find other motivations.

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has been playing with separated ribs , per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.Dame appeared to have suffered the sprain during the third quarter of Game 2 after Warriors center Kevon Looney landed on top of of the guard and rolled over him during a loose ball scramble.Perhaps this injury could explain some of Dame’s shooting woes in the Western Conference finals. The Oakland native shot 5-for-18 from the field and posted 19 points in Saturday’s 110-99 loss in Game 3 of the best-of-seven series.Despite a dismal Game 3, a source told ESPN that Lillard reportedly “downplayed the impact of the injury” as a reason for his performance.Portland trails Golden State in the series 3-0. The Blazers will try to avoid being swept when the teams meet Monday night in Portland....
