Milwaukee (41–23) surged out of the NBA All-Star break with six consecutive wins but have since lost back-to-back games.
Regardless, Lopez is buying stock in this Bucks team and was asked about the team’s potential to reprise its 2021 NBA Finals victory.
“We’re in a good place right now. We’re confident that we’ll keep improving and keep getting better.

The Hawkeyes needed a furious comeback and overtime magic to topple Nebraska. In eking out the win though, they likely locked up a No. 1 seed and should avoid South Carolina until the Final Four.

Caitlin Clark overcame a cold start to score 30 of her 34 points after halftime as No. 3 Iowa rallied to beat Nebraska 94-89 in OT to win a third straight Big Ten Tournament.

McIlroy struggled Sunday at Bay Hill, as the Northern Irishman made a barrage of bogies to drop down the leaderboard.
Rory McIlroy did not have his best stuff on Bay Hill’s front nine Sunday.
It was evident early on, too, as McIlroy missed the green with his approach shots at the first and second holes.
He managed to get up-and-down on both occasions, remaining at 5-under par for the championship through two.

Colorado football coach Deion Sanders is preparing to become a grandfather for the first time, as his oldest child, Deiondra, announced her pregnancy on Friday.
The 56-year-old coach clearly was excited about the news when he commented on his daughter’s Instagram post announcing the news. He had to emphasize how he will be a relatively young grandfather, too.
“PREACH BABY PREACH, and u having this baby to make me a darn GRANDDADDY even though I’m YOUNG! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂” Sanders commented.

Veteran safety Kevin Byard and the Chicago Bears agreed on a two-year contract Sunday, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

This is a breaking story. Please check back for updates.

The Bears face one of the offseason’s most compelling decisions in whether or not to keep riding with Justin Fields.

Rudy Gobert knew he’d get heavily fined for calling out the refs on Friday. But I bet he didn’t think the cost would be as high as it turned out to be.
In the waning seconds of a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves center fouled out of the game. It was a relatively soft call at a crucial time, and heavily contributed to the Timberwolves eventual 113-104 loss in overtime.
After learning he fouled out, Rudy Gobert was incredibly frustrated. But he didn’t yell at any of the officials on the court, he simply did the “money” gesture with his hands.
