The Phoenix Mercury are reviewing an incident at a Dallas airport on Saturday after a YouTube personality confronted Brittney Griner and her teammates.
The man who plays Heat mascot Burnie was sent to the emergency room after being twice punched by UFC star Conor McGregor in an on-court bit, reports said.
The loss to the Denver Nuggets wasn’t the only knockout on Friday night in Miami, thanks to Connor McGregor.
It all went down during the Nuggets-Heat game during a commercial break. UFC fighter Connor McGregor was in Miami for the game, but also to promote some type of pain relief spray. During the skit, McGregor was called out by the Miami Heat’s mascot ‘Burnie’, which led to McGregor throwing a massive shot to Burnie’s head. He then followed it up with the knockout blow on the ground.
Yes, this is not a joke, it actually happened.
MLB’s pitch clock has generally been a success in its first season.

Generally, though, reactions have been positive.
But a new report says some players have noticed something extremely odd about the clock.
Kevin Durant put his Twitter fingers to use, once again, on Friday as the Suns superstar looked to dispel a rumor involving Nuggets guard and playoff darling Bruce Brown.
The ordeal began as NBA Twitter gushed over Brown’s clutch, 21-point effort in the Nuggets’ Game 4 win over the Heat. FanDuel’s Eddie Gonzalez, the co-host of Durant’s Boardroom podcast, was among those praising Brown, prompting a reply from a Nets fan who made a claim about KD’s days with the team.

Conor McGregor took his NBA Finals skit way too far
Things are not going well for the Miami Heat.
Miami lost Game 4 of the NBA Finals 108-95 to the Denver Nuggets at home on Friday night, dropping their second-straight game in the friendly confines of the Kaseya Center. Miami trails 3-1 in the series after the loss. Now the Heat face a trip back to Denver, where the Nuggets have a chance to close out the Finals at home.
The WNBA released a statement regarding an alleged incident on Saturday in Dallas involving Phoenix Mercury player Brittney Griner.
One of Griner’s teammates, Brianna Turner, tweeted that the team had been followed by people with cameras saying “wild remarks.”
Player safety while traveling should be at the forefront. People following with cameras saying wild remarks is never acceptable. Excessive harassment. Our team nervously huddled in a corner unsure how to move about. We demand better.
This was a very significant day in the history of Manchester City, and a very significant day in the history of football. Rodri’s 68th-minute strike brought City’s first Champions League and made it only the second side in English history to complete the treble with a 1–0 win against Inter Milan. But as nation states invest more and more into sport this was also a red-letter day: The first time a state-run club has won Europe’s premier competition.
The WNBA released a statement Saturday addressing some “inappropriate and unfortunate” actions toward Brittney Griner inside the Dallas airport earlier in the day.
The league, which did not provide further details on the matter in the release, said that it was gathering additional information about Saturday’s incident and that the “safety of Griner and all WNBA players” remains a “top priority.
