Novak Djokovic is set to return to the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., for the first time since 2019.
Djokovic wasn’t allowed to play at Indian Wells or Miami last year, as he was not vaccinated against COVID-19. The United States required non-U.S. citizen travelers to be vaccinated through last spring.
The 36-year-old has missed myriad tournaments since 2020 due to his vaccination status. He famously missed the 2022 Australian Open and the U.S. Open because he didn’t get vaccinated.
This year’s BNP Paribas Open begins March 6.
Prior to the AFC Championship Game, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce engaged in some … shenanigans. Kelce got the last laugh as his Chiefs beat the Ravens to advance to the Super Bowl. New York Jets defensive star Quinnen Williams decided to troll Tucker prior to the NFL Pro Bowl Games.
To refresh your memory, Tucker warmed up prior to the game near where the Chiefs players were attempting to do the same. Kelce and Patrick Mahomes felt Tucker impeded on their space.
Patrick Mahomes Sr. was arrested for driving while intoxicated late Saturday night in Texas. According to TMZ, this is at least the third DWI arrest for the father of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.
The elder Mahomes was also reportedly arrested back in 2019 for his second DUI and was sentenced to 40 days in jail. According to the report, he served the time on weekends to fulfill the requirement.
Not that there’s ever a good time for a DWI arrest, but Mahomes’ timing is especially bad.

Super Bowl week is here and, in a sense, so is the PGA Tour’s Super Bowl.
Nothing on Tour is like the WM Phoenix Open, the self-described “Greatest Show on Grass” which plays to insanely large crowds with a good chunk of that insanity circling the par-3 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale.
A famous story Kenny Perry tells is when he checked into a Scottsdale hotel and told the clerk that he was in town for the Phoenix Open. “Oh, I love the Phoenix Open,” she said. “I go there every night.”
So it’s not exactly always about the golf at the WMPO.
Ahead of Jason Kelce’s trip to Las Vegas to cheer on brother Travis Kelce in the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles center was at the Pro Bowl Games in Orlando on Sunday to represent his team and his conference.
While Jason, the younger Kelce brother, has made headlines with his pregame outfits several times this season, the elder Kelce shined brightest at the Pro Bowl Games, rocking a tank top, sporty sunglasses, flip-flops and a sleek backpack as he walked into Camping World Stadium.
Inter Miami earned their first preseason win as they beat a Hong Kong XI 4-1 on Sunday, but star attraction Lionel Messi played no part in the match.

The 52-year-old remains in jail as of Sunday afternoon, per the Tyler Morning Telegraph. Bond was set at $10,000, according to Smith County, Texas, jail records. Mahomes previously served a 40-day sentence for driving while intoxicated in 2019, according to the Morning Telegraph.
