The Phoenix Suns will not have the services of Grayson Allen tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “Grayson Allen is out for personal reasons tonight’s Suns-Lakers game. Allen and his wife, Morgan, announced over the summer they are expecting their first child,” he put on Twitter. Allen was initially listed as…
When a team with high expectations gets thumped by the reigning champions in the season opener, there are bound to be some overreactions. That impulsive response is only amplified when the squad in question hails from the largest sports market in the country. Following the New York Knicks’ 132-109 loss to the Boston Celtics on…
On Tuesday, the New York Knicks (1-1) were gutted by Boston on the road in their season opener. Tonight, they hosted the Indiana Pacers (1-1) for their home opener at Madison Square Garden. The two Eastern Conference rivals last met in the semifinals, where the Pacers won a grueling seven-game series. A revenge victory would certainly boost confidence in…
The first game of the New York Yankees–Los Angeles Dodgers matchup in the World Series got off to a slow start Friday night, but it wasn’t without some early controversy. MLB umpire Carlos Torres, who is working home plate in Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, got his World Series debut off to a questionable start,…
This week was odd for Rams fans. With multiple outlets and talking heads spreading Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford trade rumors, the team seemed prepared to move on from a Super Bowl-winning duo. “Thursday Night Football” seemingly proved otherwise. The Los Angeles Rams (3-4) shocked the Minnesota Vikings (5-2) at home 30-20 on Thursday. Wide receivers Puka Nacua and Kupp returned to full action for…
The Detroit Lions‘ defensive line has withstood several injuries throughout the first half of the season. Both opening night starters, Aidan Hutchinson and Marcus Davenport, are out for the season with significant injuries. The depth at the position could be tested even more with Josh Paschal missing Sunday’s game. Paschal has not practiced all week while dealing with an…
The New York Jets spent some draft capital in April on wide receiver Malachi Corley, selecting him in the third round. But, so far, he’s had trouble getting playing time. He has just one catch for four yards, with that reception coming against Tennessee in Week 2. Last Sunday against Pittsburgh he was inactive. This is a receiver that had a…
Two Green Bay Packers defensive starters, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt and linebacker Quay Walker, are questionable for Sunday’s game at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Center Josh Myers is questionable, as well. All three players were limited participation at practice on Friday. Rather incredibly considering this is the eighth consecutive week in which the Packers have played…
The Chicago Bears’ Week 8 matchup with the Washington Commanders will mean a little more for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. Having grown up in Bowie, Maryland (just outside of Washington, D.C.), the Bears passer will surely have a crowd of family and friends in attendance on Sunday. Hometown games like this often get brushed aside as no big deal, but…
On Friday, the Chicago Bears ruled out two players and listed three as questionable to play the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The 4-2 Bears are coming off their bye to travel to Washington to play the 5-2 Commanders. The Commanders’ injury report this week has been of interest nationally after rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a rib…
The rumors about the Chicago Cubs‘ interest in Pete Alonso don’t come as much of a surprise anymore. The slugger was viewed as a fit for the Cubs over the past two years, and with him hitting the market, he could be a player they pursue. While signing Alonso, from an offensive standpoint, would be ideal, there are…
When Craig Counsell was hired by the Chicago Cubs on Nov. 6 of last year, he was positioned as the missing piece who could get the most out of this roster who underperformed in 2023 when they fell short of the playoffs by one game. While that might end up being the case eventually, that certainly wasn’t…
