Watson was injured attempting a layup in Monday afternoon’s visit to Xavier for the Bluejays’ sixth Big East game and the last in which he would appear. An MRI confirmed what he suspected as he was treated following his tumble to the court. “I’m done,” he told coach Greg McDermott, according to Joe Danneman of Cincinnati’s WXIX-TV. “I heard it pop.” MORE: How will Creighton’s seed in SN’s Field of 68 change?...

There is nothing that makes it necessary for coaches say something revealing without being prompted, unless they're really juiced up. Rick Carlisle fell in that category after the Dallas Mavericks' preseason game Monday, pointing out Samuel Dalembert's conditioning issues without being asked about the veteran center. "I just told him in front of the whole team that he's got to keep working," said Carlisle, according to ESPNDallas.com. "We need his minutes....

Rosas, who previously rose through the ranks in Houston, resigned from the team, according to a statement from the team. It was "solely" his decision to sever ties with the Mavericks organization as of Tuesday, one day before the team set to open the season against the Atlanta Hawks. The departure is said to stem from Rosas' desire to be "in charge," someone briefed on the departure told ESPN.com. He was initially hired to work in concert with president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson, but problems arose almost immediately after he arrived, according to the report....

Calderon took the unintentional shot in the first minute of the game Sunday night. Trainers attended to the Spaniard for a few moments on the court before taking him to the locker room with 11:15 remaining in the first quarter. Devin Harris replaced Calderon and hit three shots from 3-point range in the first 6 minutes of the quarter.

In their 11 appearances, Fried and Soroka have a 1.96 ERA. Everyone else? A combined 5.28 ERA. On Wednesday, Fried, 25, threw a seven-inning gem against the Padres, helping Atlanta to a 5-1 win.

The 29-year-old scored his second goal for Pascal Dupraz’s men since his arrival from AFC Bournemouth in the six-goal thriller at Stadium Municipal. Francois Moubandje opened scoring in the 21st minute courtesy of an assist from the Ivorian midfielder before Yaya Sanogo doubled the lead for the hosts four minutes later. But Remy Dugimont and Fode Dore drew the Ligue 2 side leveled in the 29th and 31st minute respectively to produce a spectacular half of goals....

Muncy left Wednesday’s game against the Padres after taking a 94 mph Matt Strahm fastball in the right wrist. The initial diagnosis was a “right wrist contusion,” the Dodgers announced, and X-rays on Thursday were negative, Muncy told reporters (via the Los Angeles Times). Still, he faces more tests on Friday. “We had an X-ray (on Thursday),” Muncy said at Chase Field in Phoenix, the wrist heavily wrapped in black tape....

I was 18, a senior in high school and still plenty obsessed with all things MLB. But, for whatever reason, I don’t remember much at all about the season. Maybe it was just my stage in life — the transition from high school to college — or maybe the strike in August, followed by months of bitter feelings, wiped it from my mind. But, really, I have only two memories from the ‘94 season: Kent Mercker’s no-hitter for the Braves on April 8 against the Dodgers, and the day the strike became official, on Aug....

Because Gatsby was originally published in 1925, the book’s United States copyright will expire on January 1, 2021, which means it will become part of the public domain. And that will allow for the publication of a book starring one of the classic novel’s primary characters. A brief synopsis for the new book—taken from publisher Little, Brown and Company, which is handling the publication in the U.S.—reads: “Charged with enough alcohol, heartbreak, and profound yearning to paralyze even the heartiest of golden age scribes, Nick reveals the man behind the narrator who has captivated readers for decades....

Ozil just a scapegoat for Arsenal crisis The Foxes are without a Premier League win in 2017 and have not even managed a goal in the league this year, their last coming on New Year’s Eve against West Ham. The champions have fared better in the FA Cup, beating Everton in the third round and Derby County - after a replay - last time out, but now face a tricky test against Millwall at The Den....

The flip of the script turned him from a lovable fighter who could have been the next “Sugar” Ray Leonard to the fighter people paid hundreds of dollars to see on pay-per-view to get knocked down to canvas and be humbled. The dream of that happening came to end Saturday when Mayweather defeated UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor by 10th-round TKO to end his legendary career at 50-0. When referee Robert Byrd called a stop to the fight, Mayweather ran to the corner, climbed two ropes and posed for the crowd....

Mbappe, 18, caught the world’s attention with his displays during Monaco’s Ligue 1-winning campaign in which he emerged as the breakout star. Bonucci is steal of the century for Milan Additionally, the teenager scored six knockout goals as the principality side made a run to the semi-finals of the Champions League forcing Europe’s top clubs to sit up and take notice. Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Mbappe and Gallas is not surprised to see his compatriot in such high demand....

It’s hardly a coincidence, says Paul Waldman, a senior fellow at Media Matters for America, a left-leaning nonprofit research center that analyzes conservative “misinformation” in the media. Along with founder David Brock, Waldman has spent the last three years studying the relationship between the press and politicians. Waldman and Brock were so struck by McCain’s cozy relationship with the press corps that they decided to write a book about it....

It’s taken almost three months of uproar, but John McCain today finally rejected the endorsement of controversial Texas Rev. John Hagee. The move comes after audio of yet another controversial Hagee sermon was posted online this week. First reported by a group called Talk to Action and then linked on the Huffington Post, Hagee suggests in the sermon (which Talk to Action says dates back to the late 1990s) that the Nazis had been working on God’s behalf to drive the Jews from Europe back to Israel....

On Wednesday, the same 20 House Republicans who voted for GOP Representative Jim Jordan in the third ballot, voted for Representative Byron Donalds instead, blocking McCarthy from the gavel for the fourth time this week. The last time a speaker was not elected on the first ballot was a century ago. But while the opposition group remained unmoved, those GOP lawmakers were unsuccessful in bringing their colleagues over to their side and unable to produce the numbers they were previewing ahead of the vote....

McCarver works alongside play-by-play man Dan McLaughlin, who received less than sterling marks here for his work with Al Hrabosky in May. Adam Wainwright is on the mound for St. Louis, which enters this game at 43-36, opposed by Josh Beckett of the Dodgers, who enter this game at 44-36. Facts and memories During the game’s first at-bat, with Matt Carpenter at the plate, McLaughlin mentions how Beckett was the No....

The lawsuit was filed by Mark McCloskey last year against the city, sheriff and state to get their guns back, and a hearing was held Wednesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The couple agreed to forfeit the weapons as part of a guilty plea to the several misdemeanors they were charged with last June, weeks before they were pardoned by Republican Gov. Mike Parson. Robert Dierker of the City Counselor’s Office, which is representing the police and sheriff’s departments, said in the hearing that it’s rather unexpected that the guns have not yet been disposed of....

McConnell said that new legislation is “not quite ready” but was likely to happen soon during an appearance on Fox News’s The Story with Martha MacCallum. Although McConnell has insisted that a “pause” should take place before moving forward on any additional legislation, several Republican senators have recently called for new relief efforts to progress quickly. “I think there’s a high likelihood that we will do another rescue package, but we need to be able to measure the impact of what we’ve already done,” McConnell said....
