The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to avoid being swept off their home floor.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager still had not resumed actual baseball activities Monday, the day that he could have been eligible to return from the injured list because of lower back inflammation.
Manager Skip Schumaker said the two-time World Series MVP went through some drills before the series opener against Houston but was “still probably a few days away” from batting practice or taking groundballs. Seager was mired in a career-worst 0-for-27 slump when put on the 10-day IL.

The New York Knicks are up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference final series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Game 4, which will be held at Cleveland’s Rocket Arena tonight, will tip off at 8 p.m. ET and airs nationally on ESPN. (Will Taylor and Travis be at this one, too?) Want to tune in to the Western Conference finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the OKC Thunder? Those games will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock throughout the week.

Heading home tied 2-2 in the Western Conference finals, the odds still favor the Oklahoma City Thunder getting through this series and winning their second consecutive NBA title.
But the most interesting part of what has happened through four games against the San Antonio Spurs isn’t merely about a series that now hangs in the balance and a psychological edge that has now shifted after the Spurs rolled to a 103-82 victory in Game 4. It’s not even about this series, per se.

PLYMOUTH — With Saturday’s results at the Northern Lakes Conference boys golf tournament at Pretty Lake, Warsaw is the league’s outright champion.

The Los Angeles Chargers are one team that fascinates me ahead of the 2026 season, mainly because of Mike McDaniel.
Now Justin Herbert’s offensive coordinator, the young quarterback has never had a coordinator like McDaniel, which leaves many thinking 2026 could be Justin’s best season in the NFL.

Despite the NFL’s best efforts, it appears the league won’t be moving towards an 18-game regular season by 2027.
According to a report by Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, citing a source familiar with the situation, an expansion to 18 regular-season games is “highly unlikely” for the 2027-28 season, though “still not impossible.” The NFL continues to leave the door open on an extra game by not announcing a date for Super Bowl LXII, which is scheduled to be played February 2028 in Atlanta.

In today’s fast-scoring T20 cricket, batters are happy to get runs in any manner possible. While cleanly-timed drives and big sixes remain the most pleasing shots for batters, the aggressive nature of the format often forces players into false shots. Yet, some batters have managed to combine attacking cricket with remarkable control.
KL Rahul has been one such batter for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. The opener scored 593 runs in 14 matches at an average of 45.61 and a career-best strike rate of 174.41.

Although he’s regarded as one of the most dominant grapplers in MMA history, Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn’t even chart in the top 10 of one key UFC stat.
The former lightweight champion, who retired in 2020 with a perfect 29-0 record, the last 13 wins of which came in the UFC, falls well short of the promotion’s top 10 for career takedowns. That leader is former bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili with 119, and 68 has former champ Rafael dos Anjos and former title challenger Demian Maia in 10th.
