CHICAGO — As going-out parties go, it was a great one. Sylvia Fowles and Sue Bird received roaring ovations with 2:10 to go at the 2022 WNBA All-Star Game at Wintrust Arena on Sunday. It was the pair’s final midseason showcase as both have announced their retirement. Bird was replaced by Skylar Diggins-Smith and Fowles by Dearica Hamby, nods not to the younger All-Stars here in Chicago but the mid-range ones who will move up into the mantle of established superstars as the league’s best… Source link

LAS VEGAS — Jared Cannonier mostly kept his hands to himself on Saturday in the main event of UFC 276 in his middleweight title fight against Israel Adesanya at T-Mobile Arena.

Adesanya is a counter striker and Cannonier didn’t throw much, leading to loud boos throughout the fight and the fans turning on the flashlights of their phones and holding them aloft in the latter stages. Adesanya clearly won the… Source link

Matthew Fitzpatrick had plenty of people by his side at The Country Club on Sunday. And they were just as excited, if not more-so, in the moments that officially sealed his win at the U.S. Open. Fitzpatrick’s family were crouched down just off the green watching behind Will Zalatoris, who had a 14-foot putt to force a playoff on the 18th green. As that putt rolled just inches past the cup, his brother lost it. His brother and parents rushed out onto the green to give him hugs after it had… Source link

MIAMI — Being a three-time NBA champion of the Miami Heat, there’s a level of cachet that follows and it would be easy to fall victim to entitlement. One scene during the second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers highlighted Udonis Haslem’s egoless mentality. Toward the end of a timeout with one minute remaining before players had to take the court again, four Heat starters had already left the bench. Bam Adebayo was the lone starter still resting in his seat. Haslem… Source link
