It has been a rough 10 months for Tyrese Haliburton.
We all remember watching the Indiana Pacers star tear his Achilles during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. It was an injury that effectively sucked the life out of his team and the Pacers’ fanbase. The Oklahoma City Thunder, of course, went on to win the game and hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
So, as if recovering from a torn Achilles and the sting of a Finals loss wasn’t bad enough, Haliburton revealed on Monday that he’s been battling yet another medical issue — shingles. On his face.

Since the NFL decided to stop holding the draft in New York City, fewer and fewer prospects are choosing to attend the event in person. In 2015, the league started staging the NFL Draft in locations that are unlikely to ever host a Super Bowl due to their climates, like Cleveland, Kansas City and Green Bay.
For the 2026 NFL Draft, the league picked Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field, which was a much better name, by the way) and surrounding areas, like Point State Park, as the hosting venue.

Strongest arm? Fastest offensive and defensive playmakers? Quickest first step? Let’s hand out superlatives for this NFL draft class.

We know the top talent in the draft, but who could surprise in the pros? We asked their college coaches.

Injury woes continue for the Houston Astros, exacerbating a 6-10 start that currently has them sharing the worst record in Major League Baseball. The Astros have lost seven consecutive games going into Monday’s matchup with the Seattle Mariners.
Shortstop Jeremy Peña was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. And pitcher Tatsuya Imai is joining several starting pitchers on the IL with right arm fatigue.
Peña left Saturday’s 8-7 loss to the Mariners in the fourth inning with what was described as tightness at the back of his right knee.

There’s no guarantee that the Dallas Wings take Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
But if they do, it’ll be a different sort of selection than almost every first pick in the league’s history.
The basic idea is this: Fudd isn’t an on-ball player, or a dominant interior force.

Transfer insider: £60m could be enough for Liverpool to snap up coveted midfield ‘diamond’
According to one transfer insider, Liverpool could plausibly snap up a highly coveted Bundesliga midfielder for £50m-£60m in the summer.
Last year, the Reds had been intermittently linked with a move for Angelo Stiller and were even purported to have been readying an offer for the Stuttgart man, although no such move materialised.

Cristian Romero set to miss rest of season with injury
Tottenham captain Cristian Romero (27) is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Sunderland, dealing a major blow to the club’s fight for Premier League survival.
The Argentina defender was forced off in visible distress following a collision with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky at the Stadium of Light. Initial fears over the severity of the incident have now been confirmed, with tests revealing a high-grade partial tear of Romero’s medial cruciate ligament.

For the longest time, Michigan football could not recruit the state of Mississippi. It had long only had one player hail from there, Jeremy LeSueur, but with linebacker Kaden Catchings committing and signing to the Wolverines this offseason, perhaps the luck in that state has changed.
And it apparently has.
According to Rivals’ Chad Simmons, Michigan is surging for 2027 Jackson (Miss.) Brandon four-star running back Tyson Robinson. Rated highest by ESPN as the No.

Former Miami defensive end and 2026 NFL draft prospect Rueben Bain Jr. was involved in an auto accident in 2024 in which a passenger later died because of injuries sustained in the crash, according to a report published on Sunday.
