Jordan Reid looks ahead to Day 3 of the NFL draft with predictions for the first few picks of Round 4.

The Eagles acquired Jonathan Greenard in a trade with the Vikings and agreed to a lucrative new deal with the star linebacker.

The countless moments when Boston’s Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown duo has been tested on the biggest stage shined through Friday night against the 76ers.

LeBron James scored 29 points, including a tying 3-pointer with 13 seconds left in regulation, and the Lakers took advantage of a Rockets team missing Kevin Durant for a 112-108 win Friday night to take a 3-0 lead in their first-round series.

To the surprise of most, things have gone very well for the Los Angeles Lakers so far in their first-round NBA playoff series against the Houston Rockets. They have scratched and clawed their way to a 3-0 series lead after a gritty 112-108 overtime win in Game 3 on Friday, and things are apparently about to get even better for them.
Austin Reaves, who has been out since sustaining an oblique strain on April 2, was abruptly listed as questionable for Game 3. He went through his pre-game preparations before the decision was made to hold him out of action.

The Los Angeles Rams invested in their offensive line during the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Friday, April 24.
The Rams picked offensive lineman Keagen Trost with the 93rd overall pick in the draft.
Trost provides versatility to the offensive line room, with the ability to play as either a guard or a tackle. He also displayed a level of durability, playing in all 13 games for Missouri this past season. His college career spans over seven years and he played for four different universities.

Deni Avdija had insult added to injury during the Portland Trail Blazers’ Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Blazers star got an elbow to the teeth from Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox late in the second quarter, knocking out part of his incisor. Fox was called for an offensive foul for the elbow, which left Avdija with a hockey smile.

The Houston Rockets had a 97% win probability entering the final minute of regulation in Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Alperen Sengun went nuts on all facets of the game and so did Amen Thompson. Unfortunately, those efforts were just not enough as they go down 3-0 in the series but one of them did still make NBA Playoffs history.

Not all that surprisingly, the Jacksonville Jaguars added to their offensive line on Day 2, selecting Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon.
Here are four things to know about the selection
How does Emmanuel Pregnon fit with the Jaguars?
Pregnon should have the opportunity to compete for snaps this season. Although both Ezra Cleveland and Patrick Mekari are returning, the Jaguars very much embraced competition up front last season, and there is no reason to think they won’t do that again. Also, Liam Coen has made it known that improved play from the run game is a must in 2026.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jayson Tatum let his final 3-pointer fly — a dagger, in NBA parlance — and the rip of the net could be heard on the other side of the court.
Tatum pounded his chest in a pure adrenaline rush moment for the big bucket that quieted the crowd, crushed the hopes of a 76ers’ late run, and was a crunch-time reminder that the six-time NBA All-Star is as close to elite as he was before a ruptured right Achilles tendon cost him the bulk of the regular season.
