A day after winning on the PGA Tour, Viktor Hovland caddies for his former college teammate’s attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open.
Coco Gauff defeated 100th-ranked Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, 7-5, 6-2, to reach her third consecutive French Open quarterfinals.
The National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame announced the nominees for the class of 2024, with Michael Vick, Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald leading the way.
In total, the Hall of Fame put 78 former players on this year’s ballot, with years of activity dating from 1974 to 2011. In order for a player to be nominated, he must have passed a variety of thresholds, including being a first-team All-America selection during his career. Players become eligible after they retire from playing football professionally.
Minutes after Game 2, in which the Heat knotted up their NBA Finals series with Denver at one apiece, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra took one final question at his postgame press conference.
It was a worthwhile one from ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, who essentially asked whether the Heat’s game plan defensively sought to force Nikola Jokić, the world’s best player and passer, into being more of a scorer.
“That’s a ridiculous … that’s the untrained eye that says something like that,” Spoelstra said, while rubbing his eyes, possibly out of frustration with the perfectly fair question.
Former NFL quarterback Matt Cassel is set to join NBC Sports’s Big Ten coverage as a football analyst, the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reported Monday.
Cassel most recently worked as an analyst for NBC Sports Boston and The 33rd Team since retiring from the NFL after the 2018 season.
The quarterback isn’t especially known for his college career, as he served in a backup role at USC from 2001–04 behind Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. He played in 34 games in his four-year career, but didn’t start any of them.

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie won a prestigious junior tournament in Florida reminiscent of his father’s elite days.
The apple does not fall far from the tree.
This age-old adage certainly applies to Tiger Woods and his son Charlie, the most famous father-and-son golfing duo in the world today.
A furious fourth-quarter comeback propelled the Heat to a Game 2 win in Denver Sunday night that tied the NBA Finals at one game apiece with the series shifting to Miami.
The Nuggets are once again favored in Game 3 but the biggest storyline is the pending return of Heat guard Tyler Herro (hand), who hasn’t played since April 16. Herro, a career 38.3% three-point shooter, is set to rejoin a lineup that’s shooting a blistering 39.2% of its attempts from beyond the arc in the postseason.
That hot outside shooting played a key role in deciding Sunday’s game, which Miami won 111-108.
Shaquille O’Neal was in Denver for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, and while he did an excellent job of breaking down the Heat–Nuggets matchup, his special moment before the game had NBA fans getting emotional.
The NBA TV pregame show reminded Shaq that June 4 was the 23rd anniversary of one of his most memorable plays with the great Kobe Bryant—way back in the 2000 Western Conference finals, when Bryant threw a perfect alley-oop to Shaq during the Lakers’ riveting Game 7 comeback win over the Trail Blazers.

Kyrie Irving’s LeBron James trade idea for Mavericks is pure fantasy.
It is not much of a secret that LeBron James and Kyrie Irving would like to play with each other again. James essentially said as much when the Lakers’ trade deadline bid for Irving fell short. The Brooklyn Nets eventually traded Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, who failed to make the NBA Playoffs. Now Irving is set to be an unrestricted free agent, and the rumors about a reunion of the two former Cleveland Cavaliers star is heating up.
