Graham (real name Eldridge Wayne Coleman) died Wednesday after being taken off life support and spending most of his time in the hospital this year.

Padres third baseman Manny Machado posted a career year in 2022, slashing .298/.366/.531 for a San Diego team that advanced to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 1998.
However, Machado has been unable to return to form so far in ’23. On Wednesday, a frustrating season went from bad to worse, as manager Bob Melvin announced that Machado has sustained a small fracture in his left hand.
Machado exited the Padres’ 4-0 loss to the Royals on Monday after being hit on the left hand with a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth inning.
Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German was ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays after umpires assessed that he was using an illegal foreign substance. Due to the nature of his ejection, German was slapped with a 10-game suspension from MLB.

German said that he does not intend to appeal the suspension due to the fact that the decision would be made by MLB rather than a neutral arbitrator.
Various sports personalities have expressed their opinions about Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s recent suspension after he was shown displaying a gun in a video for the second time in recent months.
While ESPN’s JJ Redick says Morant shouldn’t face a lengthy suspension, TNT’s Charles Barkley shared a much more blunt perspective Wednesday night.
“We got some idiots, some fools, some jacka—- on television that really just p— me off, talking about Ja should make a stand by saying he didn’t break any laws, he didn’t do anything wrong.
Chatter between two teams on a baseball field is commonplace. But it’s not too often that a dig like the one Blue Jays manager John Schneider hurled toward the Yankees on Tuesday night is caught on camera.
The two clubs got into a shouting match about coaches standing in the correct spot on the field, prompting a brief stoppage in play as umpires sorted things out. Amidst the heated dialogue, Schneider shouted toward the Yankees dugout what appeared to be, “Shut up, fat boy.
ESPN’s J.J. Redick delivered a dumb take on the Ja Morant gun controversy.
Those who are sane-minded are reacting to Redick’s take, accordingly.
Ahead of Wednesday night’s Boston Celtics versus Miami Heat ECF matchup, Inside the NBA’s Charles Barkley roasted Redick and the rest of Ja Morant’s defenders as the Grizzlies star faces criticism for brandishing a gun on Instagram Live — just two months after he committed the same offense from inside a Denver nightclub.
