The Edmonton Oilers didn’t do anything major at the trade deadline.
They brought aboard Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson, both defensive-minded players who can help at least shore up that weakness for the Oilers.
What they didn’t do was find more firepower to help Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Bumrah has been one of India’s standout performers in the ongoing tournament.

Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer Invitational ahead of Saturday’s third round with a back injury, the PGA Tour announced.

Lewis added that McIlroy felt he could finish the tournament, but withdrew as a precaution ahead of defending his title at the Players Championship next week.

Are Cinderella runs becoming a thing of the pas

Girona rescues a point from the Ciutat de València.
Girona earned a dramatic point at Levante’s field after equalizing in added time thanks to a goal by Joel Roca.
The first half was quite balanced, with few clear chances and both teams trying to control the pace of the game.
Everything started to get complicated in the second half. In the 50th minute, Espí put Levante ahead, taking advantage of an action inside the area that ended with him beating Gazzaniga and making it 1-0 on the scoreboard. The goal boosted the home team and forced Girona to step up.

Olympic figure skating champion Alysa Liu has withdrawn from the world championships later this month, an unsurprising move for the defending champ after she won the first Winter Games gold medal by an American woman in more than two decades.
Liu would have performed alongside Olympic teammates Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito when worlds begin March 24 at O2 Arena in Prague. Bradie Tennell was the first alternate but declined, so Sarah Everhardt will take Liu’s place on the U.S. team.

Welcome to this FA Cup fifth round showdown between the Champions of the World and the Champions of Hollywood! The Blues are favored against the Championship promotion hopefuls, but the locals have already taken a couple big scalps this season in this competition, so we will have to be careful.

If you and I were gifted a dollar for every time the phrase, “Jordan would never” came to our minds as we watched LeBron James, we’d all be rich. 
Thursday night’s Los Angeles Lakers game against the Denver Nuggets was no exception. With just four minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Nuggets leading by four, LeBron showcased one of his signature moves. He put his head down, drove the hoop with Nikola Jokic defending, laid the ball in, but flailed in the air as he crashed to the floor.

Canada Takes Early Lead 🇨🇦 #canada #baseb

BERLIN (AP) — As the first and only woman to be appointed head coach of a men’s professional soccer team in Germany, Sabrina Wittmann faces more pressure and scrutiny than most of her counterparts.
Wittmann has been the coach of her hometown club, third-division Ingolstadt, since May 2024, when she took over for the last four games of the season. Ingolstadt didn’t lose any and won the Bavarian Cup, and Wittmann made history when she was given the job on a permanent basis that June.
“I opened the door a little for women.

The Diamond Ducks turned out wins yesterday, while women’s basketball ended their Big Ten tournament run at the hands of Michigan. Here is how yesterday’s action went down:

Baseball vs. Purdue
The Ducks headed to the Midwest for a weekend series against the Purdue Boilermakers.
This first game had Will Sanfordtake the hill for the Ducks, against Purdue’s Cole Van Assen. 
The Ducks scored a run each in the first and second innings. In the bottom of the second inning, Purdue took advantage of a pair of Sanford walks and a single to score their first run on a sacrifice fly.

The LA Clippers started the season 6-21 and looked dead in the water, but since then have played inspired basketball to get back into the play-in and with a legitimate chance to be a top-eight seed.
Then there are moments the Clippers remind you of the 6-21 team. The final 15 seconds against the Spurs on Friday were one of those moments.
Los Angeles trailed San Antonio 113-112 with 16 seconds left, and Tyronn Lue drew up a potential game-winning play.

Competition: The 16-year-old chose the City Football Academy despite heavy interest from a number of Premier League clubs including Manchester United.

France (14) 40

Rampant Scotland annihilated French Grand Slam dreams with a stunning seven-try victory at Murrayfield that blew the Six Nations championship wide open.
In a staggering contest of 13 tries and 90 points, Gregor Townsend’s men were astonishing in every way until a madcap endgame that saw France run in a battery of tries.
