Joel Embiid had said earlier this season his troublesome left knee might require another surgery and a “lengthy recovery” process. He was not wrong.
Embiid is set to “undergo arthroscopic surgery next week to address his left knee,” the 76ers announced Wednesday.
This is the same knee Embiid had meniscus surgery on in early 2024. After that, he pushed to return for last season’s playoffs. While he averaged 33 points and 10.8 rebounds a game, Embiid was not his dominant self, shot 44.4%, and both he and the 76ers were bounced in the first round by the Knicks.

How far would you go to snag a slice of baseball history, in the form of a bobblehead? 
Hours before Wednesday’s Dodgers-Braves showdown, diehard LA fans camped out at Chavez Ravine like it was a Black Friday sale. 
For the love of the game? Sure … but really, they were there to grab a Shohei Ohtani bobblehead, hot off his NL MVP and World Series heroics in his memorable first season as a Dodger.
The line leading up to Chavez was peak Dodger fan behavior. With only 40,000 bobbleheads up for grabs, the frenzy was hot.
In his historic debut as a Dodger, Ohtani dropped a ridiculous .310/.

The NFL is looking to launch some men’s and women’s flag football leagues, but despite being a multi-billion-dollar company, it doesn’t want to be the only one with skin in the game when it comes to a venture like this.

Former Los Angeles Lakers player Mychal Thompson, father of NBA star Klay Thompson, appeared on Dan Dakich’s show Wednesday to discuss the “Caitlin Clark Effect” still making waves in basketball.
Thompson, a two-time champion with the iconic Showtime Lakers from 1986 to 1991, knows a thing or two about being part of a phenomenon.
A revered member of one of basketball’s greatest rosters, he averaged 13.7 points and 7.4 rebounds over his 12-year NBA career, leaving a legacy as a reliable big man and a key contributor to the Lakers’ golden era.

Here’s how each 1-seed reached San Antonio and their key to reaching the final, plus disagreement on one game.

No low seeds? No problem. We get to watch four of the most efficient teams of all time match up — and that’s a good thing.

Nathan Broadhead scored his first ever Premier League goal as Ipswich beat faltering Bournemouth 2-1 to breathe new life into their survival bid.
Bournemouth, bidding to bounce back from Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester City, were boosted by the return from suspension of defenders Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez.

Stephanie Turner, a member of the Fencing Academy Of Philadelphia, took a knee and forfeited a match to protest being forced to compete against a transgender (male) opponent.
On Sunday, Turned was matched against Redmond Sullivan – a “transgender woman” who is a biological male – during The Cherry Blossom – D1A/VET ROC event in Maryland, hosted by USA Fencing. 
USA Fencing, a notoriously left-wing organization, has not been shy about its desire to allow males who “identify” as women to compete against actual women.

Jurickson Profar just became the latest Major League Baseball player to receive a suspension for violating the league’s rules on performance-enhancing drugs. And at least one baseball commentator has had enough of players getting suspended and seamlessly moving on as if nothing happened.
Profar this week tested positive for chorionic gonadotropin, commonly used as a masking agent after completing a cycle of steroid use.

After an abysmal start to the season for the team’s second car alongside 4-time champ Max Verstappen that saw driver Liam Lawson booted back to the sister team, Racing Bulls, in favor of Yuki Tsunoda, there will be a lot of eyes on Red Bull this weekend at Suzuka.
Leading up to the race, all the talk has been about whether Red Bull made the right choice in swapping drivers or if it would have been better to wait until later in the season to see if Lawson could pick up the pace a little bit.
