An elite cycling champion died this week after being struck by a car in San Francisco.
Ethan Boyes, 44, was hit by a car while riding in the bike lane in the city’s famous Presidio Park. Boyes was a San Francisco native.

As LeBron James nears the completion of his 20th NBA season, there are few signs of him slowing down anytime soon.
The Lakers star will turn 39 next season, but his play on the hardwood this year wouldn’t indicate that he’s one of the league’s oldest players.
James is averaging 28.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game on 49.9% shooting from the floor. He dealt with some nagging injuries, most notably a tendon issue with his foot, that only allowed him to play in 54 games this season.

Few had a better view of Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison’s NFL career than fellow Colts great Reggie Wayne.
The two were teammates from 2001 to ’08 on Indianapolis, catching passes from Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. Harrison made six Pro Bowls during that span and eight in all; Wayne made three and six, respectively.
It was for this reason that Wayne’s comment in The Indianapolis Star about Harrison’s son, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., made waves.

Tiger Woods made his 23rd consecutive cut at the Masters — right on the cut line — to tie Fred Couples and Gary Player for the all-time record.

Louisville point guard Hailey Van Lith is expected to enter the transfer portal, On3’s Jamie Shaw reports. The junior and former top 10 recruit has two years of eligibility remaining.
Van Lith has spent her first three collegiate years with Louisville, playing in 101 games and averaging 15.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in that span. She was a star of the 2022 NCAA women’s tournament, as the Cardinals made the Final Four as a one seed and Van Lith was named her region’s Most Outstanding Player.
This past season was Van Lith’s best, as she averaged a career-high 19.7 points in 37 games.

Tiger Woods finished his second round with an early roar and some late groans, but made his 23rd consecutive cut at The Masters thanks to some help from pal Justin Thomas.
Woods carded back-to-back bogeys on 17 and 18 after a quick birdie once played resumed at rainy Augusta, and sat at 3-over after a second round 73.
His final bogey put him outside of the projected +2 cut line, but Thomas finished his round with back-to-back bogeys to ultimately miss the weekend, but vault Woods below the cut line.

The Rays are the hottest team in baseball, sitting at 7–0 and the only remaining undefeated team in the league. Tampa Bay has not only taken advantage of an easy schedule to start the season to stack wins, they have done so in historic fashion.
According to ESPN, the Rays became the first team in American League and National League history to win each of their first seven games by at least four runs. After winning by 10 runs on Opening Day, Tampa Bay has won each of its last six games by either four or five runs exactly.

After the Lakers knocked off the Suns 121–107 on Friday night, the Los Angeles moved to 42–39 on the season, which clinched a winning record regardless of what happens in Sunday’s regular-season finale against Utah.
The Lakers started the year 2–10, and dealt with spurts of injuries to Anthony Davis and LeBron James, before changing the makeup of the roster at the trade deadline around the two superstars.
James is pleased with how the year has turned out for the Lakers after the adversity the team has dealt with.
“Oh and five. Two and five. Two and 10.

Head coach Rick Pitino is going to have his work cut out for him.
The newly hired St. John’s University coach is no stranger to controversy with his matter-of-fact personality and coaching style.
However, he may be missing the one thing he needs to actually be a coach: the players.
