Mother’s Day is a happy day for the majority of Americans. It’s a chance to celebrate one of the most important people in our lives. Wives, mothers and grandmothers make indelible marks on us. Clayton Kershaw sadly lost his mother Saturday.

Ja Morant’s latest off-court incident could land him in big trouble with the NBA. Morant appeared to be shown holding a gun on Instagram live Saturday, which led to the Grizzlies‘ suspending him from team activities moving forward pending a league investigation.
Once the league investigates, it could punish Morant even further. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports Morant might be facing a “lengthy suspension” from the league over this situation.

A rare Topps NBA trading card commemorating the rookie year of late Celtics legend Bill Russell reached iconic status recently after selling for a massive price at auction.
The card, recapping Russell’s performance in the 1956–57 season, sold on Thursday for $660,000 in a sale facilitated by PWCC Marketplace. The eye-whopping bid marks the highest price paid for a card of Russell, who died in July 2022 at age 88, and one of the most-expensive vintage (pre-1980) cards ever sold.

Where many people expected the Titans to try and trade up to take a quarterback in the First Round of the NFL Draft, they went with a lineman instead. The quarterback came 22 picks later.
With the No. 11 pick, Tennessee selected Peter Skoronski out of Northwestern. The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder played tackle in college, but is being used at a few different positions during his first season on the professional level.

On Sunday, the Grizzlies suspended star point guard Ja Morant after the two-time All-Star was seen holding a gun on an Instagram Live video Saturday. The move marks the second time this year that Morant has been suspended for displaying a gun on video.
“We are aware of the social media video involving Ja Morant,” the Grizzlies said in a statement. “He is suspended from all team activities pending league review. We have no further comment at this time.

The Bucks are expected to interview Mark Jackson for their vacant head coach position, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports.
Jackson spent three seasons as head coach of the Warriors from 2011 to ’14, accumulating a 121-109 record and two playoff appearances. Despite winning 98 games over his last two seasons, Golden State fired Jackson and hired Steve Kerr, who would lead the team to a championship the following season.
When he hasn’t coached, Jackson has worked as an NBA analyst for ESPN since he retired in 2004.

Notre Dame lacrosse is moving on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a dominant win over Utah on Saturday. However, despite the win, the Fighting Irish goalie still took a major L.
Liam Entenmann, a senior, has been the netminder in South Bend since he stepped foot on campus. The former Under Armour All-American was the No. 1-rated goalie in the Class of 2019 and the No. 20 recruit in the country.

When we look back at the 2022-23 Premier League season, Sunday will likely be the day when the title race was decided. 
Even though no club has been crowned Premier League champion yet, Sunday’s results all but gifted the title to Manchester City, which can now clinch the title with a win or an Arsenal loss next weekend. 
But along with a massive shift in the title race, Matchday 36 was filled with drama that will affect which teams will represent the Premier League in Europe and which teams won’t even be in the top flight next season.

The Dolphins are signing offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn on a one-year deal, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
The Patriots drafted Wynn out of Georgia in the first round with the 23rd pick of the 2018 NFL draft. The offensive tackle tore his Achilles in the preseason of his rookie season, which forced him to miss the year. He then played the next four seasons with New England.
Since 2019, Wynn played in 43 games for the Patriots, starting in 40 of them, primarily at left tackle. He dealt with injuries throughout his time in New England, battling feet and knee ailments.

Becoming a professional athlete requires a lot of strong personality traits. Yes, we laud athletes with ridiculous physical attributes. But often we overlook the mental side. Former first-round pick Shane Ray, out of the NFL since the 2018-19 season, returns to the league thanks to unbelievable perseverance and commitment to excellence.
Ray won a Super Bowl with the Broncos in 2015, his rookie season. He forced a fumble in the game. But after playing in 33 games over his first two seasons (including playoffs), injuries took their toll.
