In one of the more bizarre crossovers in recent sports history, NBA stars Draymond Green and Joel Embiid were invited as guests on CBS Sports’ Champions League pregame show on Saturday afternoon.
Ahead of the Champions League final in Wembley between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid joined the CBS Sports’ soccer crew of Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo and Micah Richards to discuss the highly anticipated matchup.

A pigeon decided to take in the French Open on the clay courts at Roland Garros but fortunately avoided getting drilled by a serve thanks to the unbeatable combination of a quick-thinking umpire and a towel.
It would seem that pigeons aren’t particularly unusual at the French Open, and during a changeover in the fourth set of a match between Daniil Medvedev and Tomas Machac, one landed on the court, but wouldn’t move.
According to the Associated Press, the poor bird appeared to be injured which is a damn shame.

Lamar Jackson has been absent for most of the Baltimore Ravens’ voluntary off-season program — costing him $750,000 in workout bonuses.
The All-Pro quarterback’s contract includes a condition where he must participate in 80 percent of off-season workouts to earn the massive bonus, and he’s already missed too many sessions to be eligible, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. With Jackson not participating, veteran backup Josh Johnson has been taking reps with the starting offense.

In case you haven’t noticed, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is really tall.

But if two people combine their height? Well, that’s a different story.

The final seconds ticked down as Caitlin Clark caught a pass from a teammate within range of her patented, logo 3-pointer.
But she just tossed the ball up to the sky as high as she could. And when it came down, the must-see Indiana Fever had its first home win of the season and just second of 10 games – 71-70 over the Chicago Sky in front of another sell-out crowd of 17,274 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The NTT IndyCar Series has moved on to Detroit after its marquee race — the Indianapolis 500 — and it didn’t take long for things to get testy, specifically between drivers Santino Ferrucci and Kyle Kirkwood during the weekend’s second practice session on Saturday morning.
Ferrucci drives the No. 14 car for AJ Foyt Racing, while Kirkwood and Herta drive the No. 27 and No. 26 cars respectively for Andretti Global, and they were all out on the short, 1.6-mile Detroit street circuit late in the session.
With so many cars on such a short circuit, it can get slightly crowded.

Germany midfielder Joshua Kimmich has described a survey that found that 1 in 5 of his compatriots would prefer more white players on the national team as “absolutely racist.
