Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will not play again in 2023 after an MRI showed he needs to undergo shoulder surgery.

Week 10 was fairly kind to fantasy managers in terms of new injuries. Today’s list will happily be a little shorter than previous weeks.
That said, Week 11 started with a bang Wednesday morning with the news that Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. We were all set to tell you to monitor Watson’s status due to an injured ankle. That issue is now moot.

#Browns QB Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the first quarter against the #Ravens and is heading to Injured Reserve.

Tensions are growing between players during the NBA in-season tournament, judging from the shoving matches seen on the court. The tussle between Draymond Green and Rudy Gobert drew most of the headlines, but there was also a standoff between the Lakers and Grizzlies Tuesday night. 
Anthony Davis nearly ignited a fight during the first quarter when he shoved Memphis’s Santi Aldama to the floor after the two got tangled up under the basket. Desmond Bane ran over to defend his teammate, getting right in Davis’s chest, and both benches emptied onto the court.

There’s nothing quite like a little Tuesday night “MAC-tion” in November to whet the palate for the college football weekend ahead.
In particular, Tuesday night’s Toledo–Bowling Green tilt brought the heat. 
The MAC West-leading Rockets (10–1, 7–0) entered the game as a double-digit favorite over the Falcons (6–5, 4–3), but fell behind 28–10 at halftime. 
But Toledo’s offense wouldn’t go quietly. The Rockets made halftime adjustments on both sides of the football to put themselves in position to complete the unlikely comeback.

Jon, Novak Djokovic has now finished the year at No. 1 for the EIGHTH TIME. He went 27–1 at majors. He is 36 years old. What an absolute joke. Do you have a sense of what is motivating him to keep achieving like this?
