Zion Williamson has been ruled out for the Pelicans’ play-in tournament game against the Thunder on Wednesday, and the star forward isn’t thrilled about having to sit on the sideline.
“The s— sucks, I don’t know how else to say it,” Williamson said, via The Athletic’s Will Guillory. “The s— sucks. I love this game. … For those people who think I just want to sit on the sideline just to sit over there, I don’t know why people think that. Nah, it sucks. I just want to be playing basketball.”

With it being only a matter of time before the Packers trade Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, running back Aaron Jones is optimistic about the team’s replacement under center. While on the team’s five-day “Tailgate Tour,” Jones had an interesting takeaway after working out with Jordan Love in California earlier in the offseason.
“He was comfortable, throwing the ball with swag,” Jones said, per ESPN. “He knows where he wants to be, and he’s going to keep working to get there.
Timberwolves wing Kyle Anderson spoke with reporters about the incident involving Rudy Gobert for the first time since the center swung at him in the team’s regular season finale on Sunday.
Gobert, who was suspended by the team for the franchise’s Tuesday night play-in game against the Lakers, punched Anderson in the chest during a timeout in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.
Anderson explained that he was not happy with the fan response to the altercation, especially as the team looks to quickly move forward and focus on the task at hand.
Amid reports that the Hawks are considering trading Trae Young in the offseason, Atlanta’s star point guard weighed in on his future with the team.
Speaking with The Athletic, Young indicated that no one within the Hawks organization has mentioned a potential trade to him, but didn’t deny the possibility that there’s some truth to the recent reports.
“It could be false, could be true, you never know,” said Young of the rumors surrounding his future in Atlanta.
“Like, you can’t focus on things like that.
The Pelicans All-Star hasn’t played since Jan. 2, and while he says that his injury is no longer an issue, Zion Williamson doesn’t feel like himself yet.
The Cavinders saw great success in the NIL era and will reportedly focus on business ventures going forward.
By now we all know the pitch clock has arrived in Major League Baseball and the games are looking a lot different, plus a lot faster.
You know what else looks different? The television broadcasts. Now, as a viewer you’re always looking at the clock on the screen to find out whether the hitter is going to get ready in time and if the pitcher is going to throw his pitch in time.
It’s all a little … intense.
Well, the Mets broadcast took the pitch clock to a new level during Monday night’s game against the Padres.
For years, men’s college basketball championships often have been won or lost many months in advance. Player decisions about the NBA—and, increasingly, whether to transfer or even enroll in college—shape the next season.
On that front, consider Duke the biggest potential winner for 2024. So far.
Kyle Filipowski announced Tuesday that he’ll staying in college for at least one more season, bypassing the likely chance to be a first-round draft pick. The 7-footer averaged 15.1 points and 8.9 rebounds for the Blue Devils as a freshman, leading the team in both categories.
Former University of Kentucky swimmer and women’s rights activist Riley Gaines appeared Tuesday on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show where she slammed sportswear giant Nike for inking a deal with transgender woman/female caricaturist Dylan Mulvaney.
OutKick founder Clay Travis asked Gaines if she had been approached by Nike for an endorsement deal of her own. That would seem fitting since, as Travis noted, Nike called Mulvaney “brave,” and, in light of recent events, Gaines has shown she possesses that trait.
But alas, Nike has not reached out.
Draymond Green knows what it’s like to punch his own teammate and knock them out cold, therefore his opinion about Rudy Gobert throwing a punch at Kyle Anderson during the middle of a game means something.
Actually, no, it doesn’t. His opinion may have mattered if it made any sense whatsoever, but like most things that come out of Green’s mouth, his take about Gobert’s sideline tantrum makes zero sense at all.
