The Knicks and Warriors are both on the brink of elimination while the Heat and Lakers are on the verge of punching their respective tickets to the NBA conference finals.
Miami leads New York 3–1 with the potential closeout game set for Wednesday evening at Madison Square Garden. The Heat are in a familiar position as road underdogs, but one that’s been profitable for them throughout the playoffs.
Los Angeles also holds a 3–1 advantage over Golden State with the opportunity to send the defending champions home on the road.

Bob Huggins is not expected to be fired in wake of an on-air incident earlier this week. According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, the head men’s basketball coach is working with West Virginia to “finalize the details” for his return in 2023/24.
Huggins, 69, used a homophobic epithet on a live radio show earlier this week.

We’re just far enough into the MLB season for statlines to begin to steady. It’s still early, but it’s just late enough to start trusting what we’ve been seeing. So here are five hitters who have surprised so far—in ways good and bad.
1. Brent Rooker (.313/.431/.657, 10 HR, 207 OPS+)

West Virginia is expected to suspend Huggins at the start the upcoming season, reduce his salary by $1 million and require him to undergo sensitivity training.

West Virginia and men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins are finalizing details for him to return as the school’s coach following his use of an anti-LGBTQ slur in a radio interview earlier this week, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

On Monday, Huggins referred to Xavier fans as “Catholic f–s” on the Bill Cunningham Show on WLW-AM.
