For one Georgia basketball referee, this nightmare recently became a reality. After the final whistle sounded last Sunday at an unsanctioned basketball tournament held at the Stronghold Christian Church in Lithonia, Georgia, a group of players physically attacked one of the referees. The referee subsequently… Source link

Gordon Hayward won’t be available for the postseason play-in tournament this week. The Charlotte Hornets announced on Sunday that Hayward will be out indefinitely due to discomfort in his left foot. He is going to be put into a cast, and will be evaluated again in two weeks. Hayward has played just once since he sustained a left ankle sprain on Feb. 7. He returned briefly earlier this month against the 76ers, but hasn’t played since. He missed Sunday’s 124-108 win against the Washington… Source link

It’s roster bonus season in the NBA. For Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday, that means it’s payday. With the NBA’s regular season concluding on Sunday, the Milwaukee Bucks rested their starters against the Cleveland Cavaliers — all except for Holiday, who remained conspicuously in the starting lineup alongside a group of players who most certainly won’t be seeing significant playing time in the postseason. The Bucks were guaranteed a No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference and appeared… Source link

AUGUSTA, Ga. — For everything he accomplished this week at Augusta National Golf Club in his return to competitive golf, Tiger Woods will be disappointed in his result at the 86th Masters. For how well he hit his driver in Sunday’s final round, the rest of his game was rather suspect as the five-time winner of the green jacket signed for a second consecutive 6-over 78 to tie his worst-ever finish at the Masters and finish the tournament at 13-over and walk off the course at T-47 shortly… Source link

Baseball isn’t just happening in the United States right now. It’s also happening over in Nippon Professional Baseball, Japan’s top baseball league (their MLB equivalent). And a young pitcher for the Chiba Lotte Marines just threw what might be the best professional game in history. Roki Sasaki, who is just 20 years old, threw a perfect game against the Orix Buffaloes on Sunday, the 16th perfect game in NPB history and the first one in 28 years. His dominant performance tied the NPB record… Source link

The SEC recently proposed new policies that would require companies being acquired through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to undergo more stringent disclosure procedures relating to future projections, conflicts of interest, as well as potential dilution upon issuance of additional shares.

Ukraine’s IT sector boasted some of the highest salaries in the country, long before Russia invaded, with roughly 200-thousand workers providing critical services to tech giants and other major industries around the world. As the country enters its seventh week of the war, some of its top tech executives are making direct appeals to those same international firms to stick with them, even as fears of a brain drain consume the domestic market. “We are showing [the world] that we can continue… Source link
