Another former alternative league is preparing to relaunch. On Tuesday, it was announced that SlamBall, a physical and high-flying sport combining basketball, trampolines, hockey and football, is returning in July.

New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor isn’t changing his tune regarding the World Baseball Classic following the injury to closer Edwin Diaz.  “Every time I have the opportunity to represent Puerto Rico and have Puerto Rico across my chest, I will give everything I’ve got,” Lindor said Monday evening, per Joel Sherman of the […]

It wasn’t too long ago that New York Knicks forward Julius Randle was among the most divisive players in the Association. He struggled to an extent to open the 2022-23 campaign.

Ensnared in a bitter refereeing bribery scandal, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid, 2-1, on Sunday to go 12 points clear at the top of the Spanish league table. “It is a very important and deserved victory,” head coach Xavi told the media afterward, adding, “We dominated.” The Catalan club has had a rotten month—one that started […]
