Month: August 2022

Q: So now the Heat are turning to Gordon Hayward. Where did that one come from? – Tomas. A: From the void of anything tangible circulating around the NBA the first week of August, as the Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell conversation seemingly has moved to the backburner. I can appreciate the linkage between the…

Q: To me with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, that is a strong core. And if Victor Oladipo can come back all the way, and Kyle Lowry gets in better shape, we have a pretty solid group for the next few years, and Tyler and Bam for a lot longer. Not to mention…

IRVINE — Some receivers take offense if they’re not described as an all-around playmaker, but not Tutu Atwell and he doesn’t care that he’s being labeled as a deep-threat specialist. Atwell is focused on gaining trust from his Rams coaches and teammates and he’s doing that by stretching the field with his blazing speed. “I…

The NBA is investigating whether or not the Knicks made contact with former Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson before free agency began. The Knicks agreed to a four-year deal worth $104 million with Brunson, the standout Mavericks point guard who averaged 16 points, five assists and four rebounds alongside Luka Doncic last season, in the…

Johnny Cueto returned for the eighth inning Thursday at Globe Life Field, aiming to keep the Chicago White Sox within striking distance of the Texas Rangers. “I felt good,” Cueto said through an interpreter. “(Manager Tony La Russa) had the confidence in me and gave me the chance to go out there. It was good.”…

WASHINGTON — It was just as beautiful as one would dream it to be. On a steamy Wednesday afternoon in our nation’s capital, Daniel Vogelbach connected for his first home run as a Met. At its glorious apex, the ball sat 125 feet in the air, coming down only when it was ready to land…

Four years after an explosion at a day spa in Aliso Viejo killed one woman and injured two others, the fate of a Long Beach man accused of creating and placing the deadly home-made bomb that blew up the business will soon be in the hands of a Los Angeles jury. A more than two-month…

Legislators in California and throughout the country say they are trying to make the internet a safer place – and limit the harassment, harm, misogyny and misinformation that have become too common in the online world. In their haste to protect the public, however, they risk making the internet a more foreboding place. California’s approach…

Something had to give. The Chicago Cubs’ deficiency of infield options, further strained by the lack of position-player trades leading up to Tuesday’s deadline, left manager David Ross mixing and matching lineups to try to find at-bats. The Cubs didn’t suddenly gain a bounty of flexibility like last year, when one-third of the opening-day roster…

The Mets kicked off their five-game series with their divisional rival Atlanta Braves with a convincing 6-4 win, powered by the long ball, a solid outing from Carlos Carrasco and an electric six-out save from Edwin Diaz. After a 1-2-3 first, Pete Alonso drove in the first run of the night on a line drive…

The past week-plus has been big for the Orioles’ farm system, in several ways. On Monday, Baltimore finalized its 2022 draft class, adding a fresh wave of talent to the system’s lower rungs. The same day, they traded Trey Mancini, long the face of their major league team, to the Houston Astros in a three-team…

On Thursday afternoon, the Ravens once again faced another hot and gruesome practice. Even though the temperature sat at 93 degrees, the humidity made it feel as if the team’s practice facility was placed two inches from the sun. To combat the dreadful heat, which appeared to get worse by the minute, the Ravens introduced…

Luis Robert walked to the plate in the first inning Thursday against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field, took a practice swing and then stepped into the batter’s box. Robert stepped out momentarily, took another swing, then stepped back in and went to work. Thursday marked Robert’s returned to the Chicago White Sox lineup…
