This is Sherman’s second arrest since his playing career ended in 2021.

Duke star Kyle Filipowski suffered an ankle injury on Saturday after Wake Forest fans rushed the court following the Demon Deacons’ 83-79 upset over the Blue Devils in Winston-Salem. 
Fans stormed the floor immediately as the buzzer sounded, and Filipowski got tangled up with someone around mid-court. Teammates rushed to assist him and attempted to clear a path for the 7-foot center as he hobbled on one leg toward the locker room.
A closer angle shows Filipowski colliding with a fan then bouncing off several other court stormers before a staffer runs in to catch him.

Wake Forest’s 83-79 upset of No. 8 Duke Saturday afternoon should’ve been a heartwarming moment for college basketball writ large—a landmark win for a once-proud program gunning for its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2017.
Instead, it became a national story for all the wrong reasons. Blue Devils center Kyle Filipowski was hit as Demon Deacons fans stormed the court after the victory and sprained his ankle, leading Duke coach Jon Scheyer to call for a ban on the celebratory practice.
After the game, Filipowski addressed the incident with WFMY-TV in Greensboro, N.C.

After losing by eight on the road to then-ranked No. 9 Duke just 12 days ago, Wake Forest exacted its revenge at home on Saturday against the No. 8 Blue Devils, 83–79, which led to another epic college basketball court storm inside of the LJVM Coliseum.
Only this time, the court storm led to Duke basketball star Kyle Filipowski getting hit by Wake Forest fans in the chaos of the moment. Filipowski had to be helped off the floor and into the locker room by members of the Duke basketball staff.
ESPN’s Chris Spatola was the color analyst for Saturday’s contest, and he’s seen enough.

San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama continues to do things that are rarely – if ever – seen on a basketball court. But until he starts winning, any spectacular individual performances won’t mean much to him.
In last night’s 113-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Wembanyama posted a rare “5×5” stat line. This means that a player records five or more points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. He had 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks, becoming just the first player since Jusuf Nurkic in 2019 to post such a stat line.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Rendon told a reporter how he views his professional baseball career as just another job, saying that it’s not a “top priority” in his life.
