Star running J.K. Dobbins returned to practice Monday after missing all of last season with a knee injury, but the player the Ravens miss the most is Pro Bowl left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is still out nursing an injured ankle that has been surgically repaired twice. Dobbins’ return created some excitement at training camp,…

California’s fast-food workers are paid nearly $3 an hour less — or nearly $6,000 less a year — than workers in comparable service-sector jobs across the state, according to a new report from UC San Francisco and Harvard. The findings from the schools’ Shift Project also show they are more likely to have unpredictable schedules,…

Bill Russell, the all-time great Boston Celtics center who won 11 championships during 13 dominant NBA seasons, died Sunday at age 88. The Hall of Famer died peacefully with his wife, Jeannine, by his side, according to an announcement on Russell’s official Twitter page. The 6-foot-10 Russell, a five-time NBA Most Valuable Player, averaged 15.1…

Even as Duncan Robinson’s future with the Miami Heat remains somewhat murky amid an offseason of trade rumors, the 3-point specialist has cleared the air. And for that aspect of his personal growth he credits former Heat teammate Rodney McGruder. On this week’s edition of his podcast, Robinson offered a follow-up from a previous edition…

Q: The question for the Heat going forward is whether Bam Adebayo can be a point forward like Draymond Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James. While Erik Spoelstra’s small ball has been effective, Bam is undersized against the Embiids and Jokics in today’s game, and with Spo’s defense, the Heat are left undersized when Bam…

Over the past eight years, Bob Daley painstakingly built a fishing boat replica from scratch. Although it was on a much smaller scale this go around, it wasn’t the first time Bob constructed the vessel, affectionately dubbed the Mary Anne II. During the 1950s, Bob and his two brothers worked as fishermen to put themselves…

LOS ANGELES – In advance of their series against the bulked-up San Diego Padres this week, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts laughed off the idea that his team would be looking to “send a message” about the rightful order of things in the National League West. Then they went out and sent a message. The Dodgers…

After his sixth straight day of practice, with the temperature mercifully under 90 degrees, Isaiah Likely headed for one end of an autograph line spanning the length of a football field at the Ravens’ facility in Owings Mills. The rookie tight end has been a training camp sensation for less than two weeks now, but…

There’s a new employee in The Towers in Laguna Woods, and he’s a big hit with the residents. His name is Pancho, he’s a server in the Crystal Dining Room, and he softly hums when he walks – or make that glides – among the tables, delivering dinner to hungry diners. Pancho is a robot,…

There is no doubt that a local measure on the Los Angeles County ballot this fall would make future sheriffs there fully answerable to county supervisors. Sheriffs would continue to be elected independently, but if the proposal passes, they could be fired with four votes on the five-member county board. If this idea succeeds in…

Five other Orioles minor leaguers made the rankings, with right-hander…
