Kevin Porter Jr., the former Rockets guard who was arrested in September, reached a plea deal Tuesday in the case involving his former girlfriend.
The Milwaukee Bucks are firing first-year head coach Adrian Griffin, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday.
The reason for Griffin’s dismissal in the middle of his first season wasn’t immediately clear. Assistant Joe Prunty will take over as the interim coach.
The makings of a national title-winning team often involve a player or two surging onto the scene late in the season. Last year, it was much-maligned UConn Huskies point guard Tristen Newton who turned the corner down the stretch to help push the Huskies over the edge, and the year before, senior big man David McCormack surged in March to help the Kansas Jayhawks win the national championship. Who could emerge as this season’s biggest x-factor? Here are some emerging faces to know on title-contending teams who could be the difference in who cuts down the nets this April.
Skip Bayless, the host of the Fox Sports show Undisputed, is well known for his controversial sports takes. Like many other athletes, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff doesn’t want to hear anything he has to say.
Ahead of Saturday’s NFC championship game against the San Francisco 49ers, Bayless expressed basically zero confidence in the Lions.
“Congrats, Lions. You have won the right to get blown out at San Francisco. But hey, great year,” Bayless posted to social media on Sunday.
Goff was about to be asked about this comment by 97.

It’s official, an LPGA/PGA Tour version of The Match is set with Rory McIlroy, Rose Zhang, Lexi Thompson and Max Homa set to compete.
The news of Capital One’s The Match featuring its first female competitors surfaced initially in November, but now it’s official. On Tuesday, The PGA Tour confirmed the 9th installment of this live golf event.
Rory McIlroy is back and paired with Lexi Thompson. Together, they have won 15 major championships.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was uneven in the team’s divisional round win over the Green Bay Packers, but he did come through when it mattered most. The second-year starter led a game-winning drive to help give the 49ers a three-point lead, but his clutch performance actually began early in the second half.
San Francisco took a 14–13 lead on a Christian McCaffrey touchdown midway through the third quarter, but that play wouldn’t have happened without Purdy’s awareness.
The Charlotte Hornets performed a miraculous comeback Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and one announcer went viral for his perfect call of the game’s final moments.
Eric Collins, the play-by-play announcer for the Hornets on Bally Sports Southeast, absolutely lost it when Charlotte rookie Leaky Black was at the free-throw line with 1.7 seconds left on the clock and his team up by just one point. The 24-year-old had never made a free throw in the NBA.
“He’s never made a free throw as a pro … BUT HE HAS NOW!” Collins screamed when Black made the shot.
The Miami Heat traded guard Kyle Lowry to the Charlotte Hornets for guard Terry Rozier on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported first on Tuesday.
Shortly after this news broke, fans found old tweets from Rozier about the Heat from back in 2010 and ’11 when he was in high school. It appears that the 29-year-old guard was a Miami fan back then, and if it was his dream to be part of the team, it’s now coming true.
“Lets go heat!!!” one tweet read from 2010.
