With the NBA regular season wrapping up on Sunday, many players have the opportunity to reach milestones for the season. For Mikal Bridges, that meant reaching a milestone and extending a streak that is more rare in today’s game.

The United States women’s national team announced on Sunday that Alyssa Thompson will replace forward Mallory Swanson while she recovers from a patella tendon tear in her left knee suffered during Saturday’s World Cup tune-up match against Ireland.
Thompson, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NWSL draft, will earn just her second call-up for the USWNT this week when she plays against Ireland in another friendly on Tuesday in St. Louis. She was previously called up last October. If she plays in Tuesday’s match, it will be her third cap appearance for the USWNT.

Round 3 of the Masters resumed Sunday morning at Augusta National, and there are now five golfers within two to six shots of the leader, Brooks Koepka.
The LIV Golfer has a 54-hole lead on the field, with a score of 11-under. Koepka recorded a 5-under 67 in Round 2 heading into Round 3.

As the NBA MVP race comes to an end, the debate has continued on who would win the coveted award. Nikola Jokić and Joel Embiid’s names have been a constant with Jokić winning it the last two years and Embiid being the runner-up on both occasions. The resurgence of the NBA big man and the great rivalry has grasped NBA fans every time it comes down to the debate: Jokić or Embiid. One name is left out a little too often, though.
For the last five seasons, there’s no doubt that Giannis Antetokounmpo has been playing at an MVP level.
Tiger Woods used to show up at tournaments proclaiming he was there to win. And he did. A lot. But he hasn’t won since 2019 and hasn’t finished an event in a year.
Vanderbilt football has not won nine games since 2013, when James Franklin was head coach, but the program hopes to turn things around under third-year head coach Clark Lea. The Commodores won two games in 2021 but won five in 2022.
As the attention turns to 2023, Vanderbilt played its spring game on Saturday night.
