SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama was quiet on the floor in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals, and silent afterward.

Until he teed up a ball at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March of this season, Justin Thomas might have had doubts about his future as a top professional golfer. He had undergone microdiscectomy surgery for nagging hip pain, which ended his 2025 season in mid-November. Even though he missed the cut at Bay Hill, the ability to play 36 holes pain-free justified his decision and the grueling, yet […]

The Texas Rangers designated former National League MVP Andrew McCutchen for assignment on Wednesday, delivering a blow to the 39-year-old’s career. McCutchen was once one of the top players in the game and was an NL All-Star in five consecutive seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates (2011-15). But he dropped from star status later in the decade and batted just .192 with one homer and five RBIs in 37 games with […]
