Knicks guard OG Anunoby has opted out of his contract and into free agency, according to multiple reports.

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis will have surgery for a rare left leg injury. There is no timeline for his recovery, but he won’t play for Latvia in the Paris Olympics.

Track officials have denied an appeal by 800-meter Olympic champion Athing Mu, who got tangled in a pack of runners and fell at the U.S. trials Monday night, denying her a chance to defend her title.

The most expected driver announcement of the season is officially official.

Euro 2024 continues this afternoon with the England vs. Slovenia match. Here’s what you need to know.

If you worked your entire life trying to win a Stanley Cup, you wouldn’t want to waste any time celebrating with it, and the Florida Panthers certainly didn’t waste a second.
I don’t know if the fellas got any shut-eye — it’s probably safe to assume that they didn’t — but Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk had the most famous trophy in sports out on the town in Ft. Lauderdale early Tuesday morning.
Tkachuk — along with his old man Keith Tkachuk (who never won a Cup in his playing days, but damn, he sure deserved one) — hit the Elbo Room in Ft.

Clark and the Fever fell to Angel Reese and the Sky this past Sunday when the teams met for the third time this season.

Former Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder gave an interview on Monday at the Collegiate Women’s Sports Awards. But her comment about Caitlin Clark and Maya Moore is getting all of the attention.
Bluder was there to support Clark, who was awarded the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year award for the second straight year. She became the fourth woman to win the award twice, a list that includes Maya Moore. 
Clark has talked openly in the past about her admiration for Moore, including meeting her after a game.
