Coach JJ Redick trusted Deandre Ayton to become a main focal point of the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 against the Houston Rockets. The big man was doing good in cleaning the glass and helping LeBron James through his screens. More than that, he was also doing great in the post against Alperen Sengun. But, his night was cut short due to an ejection after a Flagrant 2 foul.

Sophia Wilson scored her first goal of the season in stoppage time and the Portland Thorns defeated Angel City 2-1 on Sunday.
In the only other National Women’s Soccer League match of the day, the visiting Utah Royals downed the Seattle Reign 3-0.
After a scoreless first half in Los Angeles, Pietra Tordin’s header opened up the scoring for the Thorns (4-1-1) in the 76th minute. In her professional soccer debut, rookie defender Carolyn Calzada provided the assist.
Wilson doubled the lead in stoppage time with a left-footed blast into the side netting.

The NASCAR community is watching both Carson Hocevar and Spire Motorsports grow up together and that journey reached another benchmark on Sunday at Talladega with their first collective victory.
There is a caveat, of course.
Spire does have one previous Cup Series win, and that was the rain-shortened 2019 summer race at Daytona, but team co-owner Jeff Dickerson barely counts it. That was technically a Premium Motorsports car and their win came only hours after NASCAR waited for it to stop raining.

The Intriguing Tale of K League 2 (Part 1)

It is not an understatement to suggest that the battle for promotion from K League 2 this season is proving more intriguing than the race for the title in K League 1. After a relatively tepid promotion battle in 2025, with no team able to match Incheon United’s dominance, this season looks set to deliver.

Boston Red Sox hat
One of the biggest stories in professional sports in general right now centers around the fact that the Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora on Saturday night, seemingly out of the blue. 
Unsurprisingly, this has led to a wide range of reactions, including from shortstop Trevor Story, who questioned the direction of the organization as a whole in the aftermath of the move to get rid of Cora. 
“I mean obviously, it’s kind of up in the air what the true direction of the franchise is,” Story said.

Los Angeles Kings rush the goalie Anton Forsberg (31) after winning the shootout during an NHL game against the Nashville Predators, Monday April 6th, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.
On Oct. 7, 2025, the Los Angeles Kings opened their season with a 4-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at Crypto.com Arena. On April 26, 2026, the Los Angeles Kings concluded their season — and Anze Kopitar’s career — with a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at Crypto.com Arena.

Seven former LSU football stars heard their names called during the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. Mansoor Delane led the pack of Tigers with a No. 6 overall selection to the Kansas City Chiefs.
For the third-straight draft, the first SEC player taken hailed from LSU. Jayden Daniels went No. 2 overall to the Washington Commanders in 2024 and Will Campbell went to the New England Patriots at No. 4 overall last year. The Chiefs traded up to take Delane on Thursday.
Two Tigers were taken on day two in the third round on Friday and four went on Saturday, the final day of the draft.

After yet another disastrous offensive performance in Game 2 of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza sat down at the podium for his postgame presser and, looking exhausted, sounded incredulous at what he just witnessed.
Not only did his team score one run over the course of 18 innings en route to getting swept by the Colorado Rockies at home, but at hardly any point did the offense look even remotely competitive.
“It’s hard to explain when you have that many guys that are going through it at the same time,” said a fed up Mendoza.
