SALT LAKE CITY — Despite the ridicule Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook has received in his first season with the franchise, one constant the guard has provided is availability. Westbrook has been in the lineup in all but one of the team’s 76 contests. His lone absence was an early February game in Portland due to lower back tightness. The Los Angeles native admitted it has been a trying experience for him and his family as he has been scolded by fans and media for what he would… Source link

Nine days after commissioner Rob Manfred canceled opening day and over three months into an owner-implemented lockout, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association agreed to a new labor contract Thursday afternoon in New York… Source link

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Sometime a few days before Super Bowl Week, when the Bengals got a bit of a break before everything ramped up and the team headed to California, Joe Burrow watched “A Football Life: Kurt Warner.” As Burrow marinated on Cincinnati’s 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night, he remembered something Warner said during the documentary. “He said they let it sting too much,” Burrow recalled. “They didn’t celebrate what they accomplished. Obviously it… Source link

If you asked Miami Heat forward Markieff Morris, he’d be out there playing. The team, however, has yet to clear him from the “whiplash” he suffered after being shoved by Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic in November. That injury, according to the Miami Herald, may end up keeping him out for the rest of season. Jokic was ejected from their Nov. 8 game in Denver after running up and shoving Morris hard from behind near mid-court. The shove came after Morris had body checked Jokic and… Source link

But it’s not too early to make our first guess at what the top 25 will look like ahead of the 2022 season. As always, this is simply a first look. Things are… Source link
