Kyle Larson After 5th at Bristol: "I Hope I Never Have To Run A Race Like That Again"

After the Food City 500 at Bristol this past weekend, many of the Cup Series drivers were very happy about the tire falloff and needing to manage their tires over the course of a run. One driver that was not happy about it, though, was fifth-place finisher Kyle Larson. After the race, Larson said, "I […]

Scotty Pippen Jr. Misses Second Consecutive Game

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will remain sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings. He couldn't play on Saturday versus OKC due to shin soreness and will continue to sit against Sacramento with the same issue. Pippen Jr. has played well when he's been available, but that hasn't happened too often lately. […]

Chase Elliott Earns First Top 10 Finish Of 2024

On Sunday evening, Chase Elliott finished eighth in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Sunday's result was the first top-10 finish for the former Cup Series champion since the Charlotte Roval last fall, a stretch that spanned eight races. Given that he only led eight laps, spent just 48.7% of the race in […]

Brandon Lowe Goes Yard

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League matchup versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 29-year-old has now homered twice with a pair of RBI this spring, but has struggled with just three hits in 23 at-bats. Lowe has historically been a good source of power […]

Justin Haley Earns Best NextGen Short Track Finish for Rick Ware Racing

Rick Ware Racing certainly had a good day in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway this past weekend. Both Justin Haley and Kaz Grala were legitimate contenders for top-10 finishes, something that Rick Ware Racing as a whole doesn't contend for outside of superspeedway races. Haley led the way for RWR with the […]

Luke Kennard Unavailable On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) won't be in the lineup on Monday versus Sacramento. After playing in seven of the last eight games, Kennard needs to take some time off for personal reasons. The sweet-shooting 27-year-old has been a regular starter lately, meaning another change in the first unit is coming on Monday for […]

Ty Gibbs Has Dominant Day at Bristol but Fades Late

Once again, it looked like Ty Gibbs was going to break through for his first NASCAR Cup Series win at Bristol this past weekend. Unfortunately, the No. 54 Toyota faded late and Gibbs was relegated to a ninth-place finish after dominating for most of the day. Gibbs looked masterful for most of the Food City […]

Vince Williams Jr. Doubtful To Face Kings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is considered doubtful to play against Sacramento on Monday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old was riding great momentum as one of the focal points of the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return […]

John Collins Ready To Return On Monday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (rest) is set to return to the lineup on Monday versus Minnesota, as he isn't listed on the injury report. Utah rested its starting center on Saturday against the Timberwolves as the team completed a back-to-back set. Collins has performed well lately, recording eight of his 22 double-doubles this season […]

Doug McDermott To Remain Absent On Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland. We haven't seen the sharpshooter on the court since Feb. 26, and Monday will mark his 10th consecutive absence. With McDermott unavailable, Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin have a chance to earn more minutes as backup forwards, while Ben […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night.

Anthony Davis Listed As Questionable For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) has officially been listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against Atlanta. He suffered a left corneal abrasion on Saturday against Golden State, playing only in the first quarter. Jaxson Hayes will be called on to hold down the fort in the middle if Davis can't play on Monday. […]
