新泽西魔鬼队赢得了总经理自由球员狂潮。

周四晚上，桑尼·梅塔被任命为魔鬼队总经理。梅塔想要魔鬼队。魔鬼队想要他。

星星与此对齐。

分析大师梅塔将为前总经理汤姆·菲茨杰拉德留下的职位带来新的方法。上述方法立即开始。

在 2026 年 NHL 选秀和自由球员狂潮之前，魔鬼队有一系列需要解决的问题。

那么，他从哪里开始呢？

决定谢尔顿·基夫和教练组

首先也是最重要的，梅塔必须决定谢尔登·基夫是否继续担任主教练。

基夫在 2025-26 赛季常规赛的最后阶段，在杰克·休斯健康的情况下为自己辩护。奥运会结束后，新泽西队取得了 14 胜 10 平 1 负的战绩。在休斯受伤之前，魔鬼队的战绩是11胜4平1负。如果除去休斯受伤时本赛季的三明治，那么总共得分为 104 分。

他是否充分利用了新泽西的优势？当然不是在休斯缺阵的时候，也不是在他状态低于100%的时候。

这就引出了一个问题，如果/当休斯将来再次受伤时，他能否从名单的其余部分中得到足够的东西？

这取决于梅塔。

其他教练组也没有摆脱困境。强力比赛和点球杀戮都中等。守门员雅各布·马克斯特罗姆 (Jacob Markstrom) 要么命中，要么失手——而且大多数时候，马克斯特罗姆都失手了。

大多数（如果不是全部）支持人员都在处理即将到期的合同。梅塔很快就会对工作进行评估，并决定是否续约。

巩固内阁

梅塔与假定的助理总经理马丁·布罗德(Martin Brodeur)、丹·麦金农(Dan Mackinnon)和凯特·马迪根(Kate Madigan)一起加入。

布罗德——也许是有史以来最具传奇色彩的魔鬼——不太可能被解除职务。然而，梅塔是否愿意让自己周围都是与自己相似的前瞻性思想家呢？

这些决定可能会在以后做出。我们知道纳什维尔、多伦多和温哥华都有空缺的总经理职位。

由于职位空缺有限，候选人可以继续担任目前的职位，或者如果愿意的话可以寻求新的职位。

杰米·兰根布伦纳是否愿意在他曾经担任队长的组织中工作？布雷特·彼得森怎么样？在与佛罗里达黑豹队合作之后，他是否想继续与梅塔合作？

如果要发生真正的改变，为梅塔引入志同道合的经理肯定会改变现状。

评估侦察部门

菲茨杰拉德在选秀中的记录不佳。

他在卢克·休斯、伦尼·哈米纳霍和潜在门将米哈伊尔·叶戈罗夫等名字中表现出色。

西蒙·内梅克（Simon Nemec）的选秀位置仍然存在疑问，但看起来可能会成功。尽管如此，洛根·库利 (Logan Cooley) 和卡特·高蒂尔 (Cutter Gauthier) 等刚刚打进 40 个进球的球员都在等待着他们的到来。有争议的是，他仍然错过了 2022 年的第二顺位。

就是这样。菲茨杰拉德在关键选秀位置上的巨大数字波动和失误，例如他选择亚历山大·霍尔茨和蔡斯·斯蒂尔曼时的选秀，已经损害了今天的阵容。

什么是深度评分？好吧，看看洛根·斯坦科文（Logan Stankoven）而不是斯蒂尔曼（Stillman），或者塞斯·贾维斯（Seth Jarvis）而不是霍尔茨（Holtz），也许你会发现答案。

梅塔需要他可以信赖的球探来寻找第一批球员之外的宝石。他自己也知道如何找到这些人，2016 年魔鬼队选中杰斯珀·布拉特 (Jesper Bratt) 时，他为杰斯珀·布拉特 (Jesper Bratt) 辩护，当时梅塔 (Mehta) 是分析部门的负责人。

整理出关键的待定自由球员

魔鬼队今年夏天可以处理三份关键合同。

第二，他们别无选择。阿尔谢尼·格里秋克 (Arseny Gritsyuk) 是一名待定的受限制自由球员。他是又一位选择来到魔鬼队的人，而魔鬼队也选择了他。他在 KHL 成名后的第一个 NHL 赛季表现非常出色。事实上，一切进展顺利，甚至杰克·休斯也将他视为核心的一部分。

他爱新泽西，新泽西也爱他。整理起来应该很简单。

也许 Nemec 更难整理。这位22岁的后卫本赛季向前迈出了一步，但你仍然可以看到他的不足之处。

进攻端，触感就在那里。本赛季他在 68 场比赛中攻入 11 球，并找到了魔鬼队可以利用的关键水平。

然而，他的防守仍然存在疑问。有消息称，他可以首先要求与卢克签订相同的合同。当然，他不会明白这一点，但是梅塔能让内梅克和他的阵营离开多低呢？

当然，队长需要在 2027 年 7 月 1 日签订一份新合同。梅塔想让这样的故事持续整个赛季吗？尽早了解希斯基尔愿意或不愿意为新泽西做出多少承诺以及这一决定。拖得越久，对魔鬼来说就越糟糕。

地址道吉·汉密尔顿

最后，梅塔必须解决道吉·汉密尔顿的问题。

自12月17日以来，这位魔鬼队后卫就没有公开发表过言论，此前外界猜测他拒绝了一笔交易，随后他的经纪人又公开提出了交易指控。

后来证实汉密尔顿拒绝了将他送到圣何塞鲨鱼队的交易。

显然汉密尔顿对目前的情况并不满意。梅塔能弥补这一点吗？

或者，这是否给了他一个理由清除 900 万美元的上限，这将为他提供增加一名前六前锋所需的灵活性？

有一点是确定的。汉密尔顿需要澄清。他要么留下，要么走。任何不确定性只会加剧紧张局势。

This wasn’t how the Dallas Wings wanted their new star’s first media introduction.

The Wings introduced their 2026 No. 1 overall draft pick, Azzi Fudd, in a press conference on Thursday, marking his official arrival as a professional player. The former UConn star joins the franchise that selected her college teammate Paige Bueckers with the top pick in the 2025 draft.

The two players, who first met while competing for the Huskies, now form a highly anticipated backcourt duo in Dallas.

During the session, a reporter dallas morning news A question from Fudd asked whether she and Bueckers would remain in a romantic relationship — which Bueckers publicly acknowledged on social media last year — and whether the pair had consulted with other WNBA couples about navigating the unique dynamics of being both teammates and partners.

Before Fudd could respond, a member of Wings’ public relations staff quickly intervened.

“I understand why you have to ask this question, but we respectfully decline to comment on the personal lives of our players,” the person said.

This moment created an immediate sense of unease in the room, as the team chose to treat the questioning as out of bounds. Fudd’s expression remained largely unchanged during the conversation and the press conference continued without further discussion of the topic.

Well, his expression was mostly Unchanged. At one point, you can actually see Fudd’s eyebrows furrowed as if he was surprised and confused as to why the team wouldn’t let him answer the question. To keep an eye …

– The Sporting News (@sportingnews) 16 April 2026

This goes back to my previous claim that it is the team that is trying to eliminate the relationship aspect, because they don’t want to be accused of acting like the Lakers, and drafting someone based on trying to please their star.

Veteran sports journalist Jeff Pearlman recently accused the league of pressuring reporters to ignore or downplay the long-standing romantic relationship between Fudd and Bueckers, calling it “the number one piece of this story.”

Pearlman argued that the Wings had essentially set up Fudd to reunite him with his fellow Bueckers on the court – and in life – but said it was the league itself that was trying to stay away from the obvious.

He said, “Ezzie Fudd and Paige Bueckers are in a long-term relationship, and no one is mentioning it. And the WNBA has apparently asked people not to mention it. And that’s very confusing to me journalistically.”

“Like, it’s fascinating that these two guys who have been dating for a long time, dating since college, would be the starting backcourt for a team. To me, that’s really the number one piece of this story. It’s not that they drafted AZ Fudd, they drafted AZ Fudd to play with his longtime teammate, Paige Bueckers.”

The fact that the Wings went out of their way to shut this down should inspire good sports journalists — if there are any left — to keep the pressure on this matter.

Fans have a right to know whether their team selected someone in the draft based on their personal relationships, not whether they were actually worthy of being selected number one.

这并不是达拉斯翼队希望媒体首次介绍他们的新球星的方式。

翅膀队在周四的新闻发布会上介绍了他们的2026年状元秀阿齐·福德，标志着她正式成为职业球员。这位前康涅狄格大学明星加入了球队，该球队在 2025 年选秀中以状元签选中了她的大学队友佩奇·布克斯 (Paige Bueckers)。

这两名球员在哈士奇队比赛时首次相遇，现在在达拉斯组成了备受期待的后场二人组。

会议期间，记者 达拉斯晨报 向福德提出了一个问题，即她和布克斯是否仍保持着恋爱关系——布克斯去年在社交媒体上公开承认过这一点——以及两人是否咨询过其他 WNBA 夫妇关于如何处理既是队友又是伴侣的独特动态的问题。

还没等福德做出回应，Wings 的一名公关人员很快就介入了。

“我理解你为什么要问这个问题，但我们将恭敬地拒绝评论我们球员的个人生活，”该人士说道。

这一刻立即在房间里产生了一种不适感，因为团队选择将询问视为禁区。交流过程中，福德的表情基本没有变化，新闻发布会继续进行，没有进一步讨论这个话题。

嗯，她的表情是 大多 不变。在某一时刻，你实际上可以看到福德的眉毛垂了下来，似乎对团队为什么不让她回答这个问题感到惊讶和困惑。看看……

这又回到了我之前的断言，即球队本身正在试图压制关系角度，因为他们不想被指责像湖人队一样，并且为了让他们的球星高兴而选拔某人。

资深体育记者杰夫·皮尔曼最近指责联盟向记者施压，要求他们忽视或淡化福德和布克斯之间的长期浪漫关系，称其为“这个故事的第一部分”。

皮尔曼辩称，Wings 选择 Fudd 本质上是为了让她在球场上以及生活中与搭档 Bueckers 重聚，但他表示联盟本身试图回避显而易见的事情。

“阿齐·福德和佩奇·布克斯有着长期的合作关系，但没有人提及此事。而 WNBA 显然已要求人们不要提及此事。从新闻角度来看，这让我感到非常困惑，”他说。

“就像，令人着迷的是，这两个人已经约会了很长时间，可以追溯到大学时期，他们将成为一支球队的首发后场。对我来说，这实际上是这个故事的第一部分。不仅仅是他们选中了阿齐·福德，他们还选中了阿齐·福德与她的长期搭档佩奇·布克斯一起打球。”

事实上，Wings 不遗余力地阻止了这一事件，这一事实应该会促使优秀的体育记者——如果还有剩下的人的话——继续就此事向他们施压。

球迷有权知道他们的球队是否根据个人关系在选秀中选择了某人，而不是他们是否真的值得成为状元秀。

金州勇士隊週五晚上客場挑戰菲尼克斯太陽隊。隨著賽季的臨近，馬克威廉斯和格雷森艾倫一起出現在傷病報告中，兩名球員都被列為可疑球員。威廉斯正在處理左腳酸痛，而艾倫則左腿筋拉傷。太陽隊以 114-110 輸給波特蘭拓荒者隊，讓他們陷入了困境。以下是我們所知道的關於馬克威廉斯的傷勢以及他對陣勇士隊的比賽狀態的所有資訊。

馬克威廉斯傷病狀況

鑑於馬克威廉斯的傷病報告存在疑問，我們假設他很可能會在太陽隊 2025-26 賽季的比賽中出場。格雷森·阿倫錯過了太陽隊在入圍賽中對陣開拓者隊的第一場比賽。球迷很有可能也會看到他穿著制服回來。

當勇士隊帶著第四節 13 分逆轉快艇隊的勢頭進入周五的生死對決時，他們的賽季將繼續保持活力，毫無疑問，太陽隊將在攻防兩端全力以赴。艾倫在客場對勇士隊的比賽中表現出色，威廉斯的籃框保護也同樣出色。

狄龍布魯克斯獲準復出，這也將有助於太陽隊對全明星史蒂芬柯瑞的防守和勇士隊的進攻。然而，當談到馬克威廉斯和格雷森艾倫是否參加比賽的問題時，答案很可能是，是的。

太陽隊傷病報告

格雷森艾倫——有問題——左腿筋；拉緊

馬克威廉斯——有問題——左腳；疼痛

勇士傷病報告

吉米巴特勒三世 — 出局 — 右前十字韌帶；外科手術

摩西·穆迪 — 缺席 — 左髕腱；外科手術

San Jose Sharks phenom Maclin Celebrini capped off a season at age 19 where he broke the franchise’s single-season points record and reached milestones that were only achieved by the all-time greats. With this he can break some new records with his next contract.

In a poll of NHL agents conducted by The Athletic, Celebrini received the second-most votes to select who will be the highest-paid player in hockey by the start of the 2028–29 season.

RELATED: Why Macklin Deserves the Celebrini Hart Trophy

“Why shouldn’t Celebrini make $20 million a year? I mean, that’s a lot, but look at that kid. I guess my thing with Celebrini is I know it’s not apples to apples because Kaprizov could have become a UFA, but if you’re that, why wouldn’t I say, Kaprizov is getting it, why shouldn’t I make more than Kaprizov?”

NHL agent on Macklin Celebrini potentially getting $20M/year contract

Another survey asked agents about the future contracts of both Celebrini and fellow No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard. While the Chicago Blackhawks star received considerable praise, the general consensus was that Celebrini is on a “very different level” than Bedard.

An agent suggested that Celebrini’s eventual extension with San Jose would be in the range of $10 to $17 million per season. If the 19-year-old were to sign a short-term deal, it would most likely be somewhere between $10-12 million. If he wants long-term security and a long-term commitment to the club, that figure could reach more than $17 million.

“He’s going to get a big deal, and they’re going to have to pay him. What Celebrini is doing in San Jose is incredible. It’s happening at a slower pace with other contracts being so big. This is going to take him to another level, which will reshape the way teams squeeze in their high-level guys.”

Celebrini is eligible to sign a contract extension with the Sharks on July 1. During his record-breaking season, in which he set multiple single-season franchise marks and joined the record books of legends like Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby, the team was relatively quiet on a potential long-term deal.

However, Sharks general manager Mike Grier joked with reporters when asked about the matter earlier this season, saying “We probably wouldn’t try to sign him.”

For now, according to PuckPedia.com, Celebrini is under contract for next season with an $877,500 base salary with a $975,000 cap hit and performance bonuses of up to $3.5 million. While he is eligible for restricted free agency as a 21-year-old after the 2026-27 season, he will likely have a new deal with San Jose before 2027.

圣何塞鲨鱼队的天才麦克林·塞莱布里尼 (Macklin Celebrini) 在 19 岁时刚刚结束了一个赛季，他打破了球队的单赛季得分记录，并达到了只有历史上最伟大的球员才能达到的里程碑。这可能会导致他在下一份合同中打破一些新纪录。

在 The Athletic 对 NHL 经纪人进行的一项民意调查中，塞莱布里尼在 2028-29 赛季开始前成为曲棍球收入最高球员方面获得了第二高的选票。

“为什么塞莱布里尼一年不能赚2000万美元？我的意思是，这很多，但是看看那个孩子。我想我对塞莱布里尼的观点是，我知道这不是苹果对苹果，因为卡普里佐夫可能成为UFA，但如果你是他，我为什么不说，卡普里佐夫得到了这个，为什么我不应该比卡普里佐夫赚更多呢？”

NHL 经纪人 Macklin Celebrini 可能获得每年 2000 万美元的合同

另一项民意调查向经纪人询问了塞莱布里尼和状元康纳·贝达德的未来合同。虽然这位芝加哥黑鹰队球星受到了很多赞扬，但人们普遍认为，塞莱布里尼与贝达德处于“截然不同的层次”。

一位经纪人表示，塞莱布里尼最终与圣何塞续约的合同金额将在每赛季 10 至 1700 万美元之间。如果这位 19 岁的球员想签一份短期合同，那么价格更有可能在 10-1200 万美元之间。如果他想要长期的保障并为俱乐部做出更长期的承诺，那么这个数字可能会达到 1700 万美元以上。

“他将得到一份巨额合同，他们将不得不付钱给他。塞莱布里尼在圣何塞所做的事情令人难以置信。第二份合同如此之大，这是一个缓慢的过程。这将把他们带到另一个水平，这将重塑球队与高端球员的挤压方式。”

匿名 NHL 经纪人谈麦克林·塞莱布里尼 (Macklin Celebrini) 的潜在续约合同（来自 The Athletic）

塞莱布里尼有资格在 7 月 1 日与鲨鱼队续约。在他打破纪录的赛季中，他追平了无数单赛季球队纪录，并与韦恩·格雷茨基和西德尼·克罗斯比等传奇人物一起创下了纪录，但球队对一份潜在的长期合同相对保持沉默。

然而，鲨鱼队总经理迈克·格里尔在本赛季早些时候被问及此事时确实与记者开玩笑说：“我们可能不会尝试签下他。”

据 PuckPedia.com 报道，目前，塞莱布里尼下赛季的合同上限为 975,000 美元，基本工资为 877,500 美元，绩效奖金高达 350 万美元。虽然 2026-27 赛季结束后，21 岁的他有资格成为受限制自由球员，但他很可能在 2027 年之前与圣何塞达成新合同。

A new rumor suggests the Phoenix Suns will make a summer trade for the talented but troubled two-time All-Star to pair with Devin Booker next season.

The Suns’ season isn’t over yet, and if they can beat the Golden State Warriors in their play-in game tonight they have a chance to secure a playoff spot this month. However, if they are victorious, no one is expecting Phoenix to make a deep run in the postseason. Especially after they lost their first play-in game to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this week.

No matter what happened Friday night, it was still a positive season for the Suns. Despite firing head coach Mike Budenholzer, trading Kevin Durant, and releasing Bradley Beal in the offseason, the team actually won nine more games under new head coach Jordan Ott. Still, more impactful talent is needed if this team is to take another step forward in 2026-27.

Will the Phoenix Suns pursue a Ja Morant trade this summer?

Under the leadership of owner Matt Ishbia, the Suns have shown a willingness to be bold in improving the team. Well, a new rumor suggests they may make a risky move to bring in an extremely talented player this offseason. According to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, Phoenix is ​​emerging as the early favorite to make a summer trade for Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant. The other team is believed to be the Sacramento Kings.

The Suns lacked another meaningful player-creator this season. This forced Devin Booker to assume the role of not only their primary scorer, but their top facilitator. Morant will certainly ease the burden of both scoring and playmaking for Booker and could create a dangerous backcourt duo.

However, one comes with potential business risks. Morant’s value is at an all-time low, which is good for the Suns. But this is due to the off-court trouble he can cause and serious injury problems over the past few seasons. Many people associated with the sport felt that due to his injury problems he would never be able to return to the player he was.

连续第三次进入精英八强后，里克·巴恩斯和田纳西志愿者队在今年夏天猛烈地冲击了大学篮球转会门户，另一个重要的补充可能即将到来。

堪萨斯松鹰队和俄克拉荷马捷者队也已与弗吉尼亚联邦大学转会有关。然而，蒂普顿指出，“听起来”希尔不会前往诺曼。

On3 和 Rivals.com 将希尔列为今年休赛期大学篮球转会门户网站中第 24 名最佳球员和第 8 名最佳后卫。 ESPN 的 Jeff Borzello 将他评为最佳球员第 21 位。

“毫无疑问，希尔在 NCAA 锦标赛首轮对阵北卡罗来纳大学的比赛中表现出色，带领 VCU 拿下 19 分大逆转，并以 34 分、5 个篮板和 5 次助攻的成绩爆冷取胜。上赛季他获得了 10 项大西洋第一队荣誉，场均得到 15.0 分，三分球命中率高达 37%。”

在他参加该项目的最后 15 场比赛中，他场均贡献 15.7 分、3.1 次助攻和 3 个篮板，投篮命中率为 44.7%。希尔场均17.3分帮助弗吉尼亚联邦大学夺得分区冠军，并在首轮战胜北卡罗来纳焦油脚跟队的比赛中发挥了重要作用，他在加时赛中23投34中拿下82-78获胜。

We continue our series preview ahead of the first round matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning.

We know that the team that wins the battle at 5v5 will have a good chance of emerging victorious in the series. Additionally, the organization that features the best special teams will have a significant advantage in securing victory.

In addition to those important elements, let’s take a look at some X-factors that will impact the series between the Canadiens and Lightning.

top line players

It’s no secret that Canadians will live and die by the first line’s ability to generate sustainable levels of crime. The Lightning are well aware of this, which means Nick Suzuki, Juraj Slafkowski and Cole Caufield will likely have to face Tampa Bay’s top shutdown line of Gourde, Pontus Holmberg and Zemgus Girgensons.

When playing together, that line has controlled approximately 54.5% of shots, as well as 55.7% of expected goals at 5v5. In an admittedly limited sample size of just 30 minutes versus the Habs, they have actually controlled over 70% of the shots and 90% of the expected goals.

In a short series, matchups will play a key role, and it seems the most important matchup for the Canadiens will involve Tampa’s excellent shutdown trio versus their elite top line. Or perhaps more accurately, finding ways to strip their top line of the Lightning’s best defensive players.

On the other side of the coin, this may seem like the most obvious advice in the history of hockey, but the Canadiens would do well to help their chances by keeping a close eye on Nikita Kucherov.

The elite skater finished the year with 130 points, which was second overall in the NHL, behind only Connor McDavid (138 points). The second most productive Lightning player was Jake Guentzel, who finished the season with 88 points. This represents a 42-point discrepancy, significantly greater than the 13-point difference between the Canadiens’ top point producer (Suzuki, 101 points) and last forward (Caufield, 88 points).

It’s very easy to suggest that shutting down Kucherov is important for the Habs, especially when neither team has yet figured out how to accomplish this lofty goal, but the fact is that the Canadiens will want to keep an eye on Kucherov’s every move throughout the series.

In 42 career games against the Habs, Kucherov has scored 20 goals and added 29 assists.

Freshman Goaltenders

It is incredibly rare to see two rookie netminders tasked with protecting the net in a playoff series. First-year skaters are slightly more common, as it is much easier to convince a coach to enter the playoffs with a few rookie players than a pair of rookie netminders.

The Canadiens will have to rely on either Jacob Dobbs or Jacob Fowler to steal the show, although there’s still an outside chance, albeit slim, that we’ll see veteran netminder Samuel Montebault in the mix.

the gamble was thrown.

This could be seen as an obvious negative given Dobbs and Fowler’s lack of NHL experience, but the Montreal Canadiens aren’t your favorite club. While first-year players playing a significant role isn’t more common than in other NHL cities, it’s part of the path to success in Montreal.

In the long run, this could be the beginning of a trend in the NHL where goaltending results completely usurp experience as the most important factor driving usage in the playoffs.

rookie effect

Fowler and Dobbs aren’t the only newbies expected to play a role in the series. Ivan Demidov and Oliver Kapanen are expected to take over on the second line, once again lending credence to the theory that head coach Martin Saint-Louis does a great job trusting his young players in key roles.

On top of Demidov Kapanen, there are Adam Engstrom and David Rickenbacker on the blue line, two rookies who could play with greater frequency if injuries occur, or if Noah Dobson’s thumb injury doesn’t heal before more games are added to the docket.

To give you an idea of ​​how both teams like to rely on different age groups, Tampa Bay’s top-scoring rookie center is Dominic James, who has seven goals and eight assists in 43 games.

Montreal, on the other hand, has the league’s top-scoring rookie in Demidov (62 points), not to mention the rookie with the third-most goals in Kapanen (22 points).

在蒙特利尔加拿大人队和坦帕湾闪电队的第一轮比赛之前，我们继续我们的系列赛预览。

我们知道，在 5v5 的战斗中获胜的球队将有很大机会在系列赛中取得胜利。此外，拥有最好的特种团队的组织在确保胜利方面将具有显着的优势。

除了这些关键因素之外，让我们来看看一些将影响加拿大人和闪电队之间系列赛的 X 因素。

顶级球员

众所周知，加拿大人队的生死存亡取决于第一线能否产生可持续的进攻能力。闪电队很清楚这一点，这意味着尼克·铃木、尤拉伊·斯拉夫科夫斯基和科尔·考菲尔德很可能会面对雅尼·古德、庞图斯·霍姆伯格和泽姆格斯·吉根森斯，坦帕湾的顶级停赛线。

一起比赛时，这条线控制了近 54.5% 的射门，以及 5v5 时预期进球的 55.7%。在与 Habs 的短短 30 分钟的样本量有限的情况下，他们实际上控制了 70% 以上的射门和 90% 的预期进球。

在一个简短的系列赛中，对决将发挥至关重要的作用，加拿大人队最重要的对决似乎将涉及他们的精英顶线对阵坦帕队出色的停摆三人组。或者更准确地说，寻找方法让他们的顶线远离闪电队最好的防守球员。

另一方面，这似乎是曲棍球历史上最明显的建议，但加拿大人队密切关注尼基塔·库切罗夫将大大提高他们的胜算。

这位精英滑冰运动员以 130 分结束了这一年，在 NHL 中排名第二，仅次于康纳·麦克戴维 (Connor McDavid)（138 分）。闪电队第二高产的球员是 Jake Guentzel，他以 88 分结束了赛季。这代表了 42 分的差距，远远大于加拿大人队积分榜第一（铃木，101 分）和倒数第二前锋（考菲尔德，88 分）之间 13 分的差距。

很容易认为关闭库切罗夫是哈布队的关键，特别是因为还没有球队知道如何实现这一崇高目标，但事实仍然是加拿大人队希望监视库切罗夫在整个系列赛中的一举一动。

在职业生涯对阵哈布队的 42 场比赛中，库切罗夫攻入 20 球并贡献 29 次助攻。

新生守门员

在季后赛系列赛中，很少会看到两名新秀网卫负责防守球网。第一年的滑冰运动员更常见一些，因为说服教练带着少数新秀球员进入季后赛比说服两位新秀网络管理员进入季后赛要容易得多。

加拿大人队将不得不依靠雅库布·多贝斯或雅各布·福勒抢尽风头，尽管我们仍然有机会看到经验丰富的网卫塞缪尔·蒙特博奥，尽管这个机会很小，但还是有机会。

赌局被抛了。

鉴于多布斯和福勒缺乏 NHL 经验，这可能被视为明显的负面影响，但蒙特利尔加拿大人队并不是普通的俱乐部。第一年球员担任重要角色不仅比其他 NHL 城市更常见，而且也是蒙特利尔成功之路的一部分。

从长远来看，这最终可能成为 NHL 趋势的开始，在 NHL 中，守门员的结果完全取代了经验，成为推动季后赛使用的最重要因素。

新秀冲击力

福勒和多贝斯并不是唯一有望在系列赛中发挥作用的新秀。伊万·德米多夫和奥利弗·卡帕宁预计将在第二条线上发起冲锋，这再次证明了主教练马丁·圣路易斯在信任年轻球员担任重要角色方面做得很好的理论。

除了德米多夫·卡帕宁之外，蓝线上还有亚当·恩斯特罗姆和大卫·雷因巴赫，如果受伤，或者诺亚·多布森的拇指伤势在更多比赛加入之前没有治愈，这两名新秀最终可能会以更高的频率上场。

为了让您了解两支球队如何更愿意信任不同年龄段的球员，坦帕湾队的最佳得分新秀是中锋多米尼克·詹姆斯，他在 43 场比赛中攻入 7 粒进球和 8 次助攻。

另一方面，蒙特利尔队拥有联盟得分最高的新秀德米多夫（62分），更不用说进球数第三多的新秀卡帕宁（22分）。

休士頓火箭隊將在季後賽首輪系列賽中對陣洛杉磯湖人隊，但圍繞凱文杜蘭特的令人驚訝的統計數據為這場比賽增添了另一個故事情節。

ClutchPoints 週五分享的一篇文章強調了杜蘭特最近在季後賽中的掙扎，並指出這種情況可以追溯到他在鳳凰城太陽隊效力的多個賽季。

「凱文杜蘭特自 2023 年以來就沒有贏過一場季後賽

他個人已經連續輸掉了6場季後賽，最後一場勝利是在西部半決賽第4場對陣金塊隊時取得的。 」

杜蘭特上一次季後賽是在 2024 年，當時菲尼克斯太陽隊在首輪被明尼蘇達灰狼隊橫掃。上賽季，菲尼克斯在最終轉會休士頓之前完全錯過了季後賽，因此他沒有出現在季後賽中。

這一統計數據與杜蘭特作為聯盟季後賽表現最出色的球員之一的聲譽形成鮮明對比。作為前總決賽 MVP 和常年得分​​王，杜蘭特長期以來一直被認為是高壓環境中的可靠存在。

你可知道…

凱文杜蘭特希望在季後賽中迅速下滑，火箭隊將迎戰受傷的湖人隊

現年 37 歲的杜蘭特將試圖扭轉這一趨勢，帶領休士頓隊於太平洋時間週六下午 5:30 在 Crypto.com 球場舉行第一場比賽。火箭隊進入系列賽尋求突破，對陣湖人隊，湖人隊在常規賽系列賽中以 2-1 獲勝，其中包括三月份的兩場勝利。

雖然杜蘭特的季後賽荒引起了人們的關注，但湖人隊正在應對自己的重大挑戰。盧卡·東契奇和奧斯汀·裡維斯預計都會因傷缺席比賽，這使得洛杉磯在系列賽開始時人手不足。

東契奇正在從腿筋拉傷中恢復，而李維斯則因二級斜傷缺陣。他們的缺席可能會影響湖人的進攻結構，並給剩下的貢獻者額外的壓力。

這場比賽呈現出對比鮮明的敘事。休士頓將依靠杜蘭特來扭轉季後賽頹勢並重新建立影響力，而洛杉磯則必須在沒有兩名關鍵後衛的情況下度過早期比賽。

隨著系列賽的開始，杜蘭特改變敘事的能力和湖人隊抵禦早期逆境的能力可能會影響首輪的結果。

A new report suggests that the New York Jets’ alleged interest in quarterback prospect Ty Simpson may be part of a plan to trick a rival team into trading additional draft picks.

There is no doubt that the Jets need help at the quarterback position. This has been a problem for a long time, and nothing has changed in 2026. They spent a big chunk of money last year when they signed Justin Fields in free agency. He ultimately ended up being a disaster and was dealt to the Kansas City Chiefs last month.

This offseason, they are hoping Geno Smith can fix the problem in the short term. But taking a QB prospect in next week’s NFL Draft would seem to be a better option. That’s why, despite a weak quarterback class this year, the Jets have been linked to Alabama’s Ty Simpson with their second pick in Round 1, or their selection in Round 2.

They have scouted him closely, and some football evaluators believe he is better than the player expected to be the No. 1 overall pick, Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza. However, according to NFL Draft expert Todd McShay, the Jets’ attraction to Simpson may not be legitimate.

The New York Jets playing a draft game with the Arizona Cardinals?

In Friday’s post, he claimed the “whole plan” for the Jets is to get a young QB in the 2027 draft. And while he thinks they could select Simpson with their pick at 33, he said, “I honestly think the Jets may put it there because they want Arizona to move up and take him.”

McShay speculated and speculated that the Cardinals might be willing to give up a fourth-rounder to move up from 34th to 33rd to ensure they get Simpson. Arizona also has a messy situation at QB, especially after cutting longtime starter Kyler Murray this offseason.

If the Jets are only willing to use the Day 3 pick on Simpson, this is a very smart play by the front office to make it seem like they could use the Day 1 or 2 selection on him so they can move down a spot in Round 2 and get an additional fourth round pick.

一份新报告显示，纽约喷气机队据称对四分卫候选人泰·辛普森的兴趣可能都是诱骗对手球队向他们交易额外选秀权的计划的一部分。

毫无疑问，喷气机队在四分卫位置上需要帮助。这已经是一个很长一段时间的问题了，到了 2026 年，一切都没有改变。去年，他们花了一大笔钱以自由球员身份签下了贾斯汀·菲尔兹。他最终成为一场灾难，并于上个月被交易到堪萨斯城酋长队。

这个休赛期，他们希望吉诺·史密斯能够在短期内解决这个问题。但在下周的 NFL 选秀中选择四分卫似乎是一个更好的选择。这就是为什么，尽管今年四分卫阵容较弱，喷气机队仍将第一轮第二顺位选秀权或第二轮选秀权与阿拉巴马州的泰·辛普森联系在一起。

他们对他进行了密切的考察，一些足球评估者认为他比预计排名第一的球员、海斯曼奖杯获得者费尔南多·门多萨更好。然而，根据 NFL 选秀专家托德·麦克谢伊的说法，喷气机队对辛普森的迷恋可能并不合理。

纽约喷气机队与亚利桑那红雀队参加选秀比赛？

在周五的一篇帖子中，他声称喷气机队的“一直以来的计划”是在 2027 年选秀中获得一名年轻的四分卫。虽然他认为他们可以用 33 号选秀权选择辛普森，但他补充道，“老实说，我认为喷气机队可能会这样做，因为他们希望亚利桑那州能够上升并得到他。”

麦克谢推测红雀队可能愿意放弃一名第四轮球员，以便从 34 名上升一位到 33 名，这样他们就可以确保得到辛普森。亚利桑那队的四分卫情况也很混乱，尤其是在休赛期裁掉了长期首发球员凯勒·穆雷之后。

如果喷气机队只愿意使用辛普森的第三天选秀权，那么管理层的一个非常聪明的做法是让他们看起来可以使用辛普森的第一天或第二天的选秀权，这样他们就可以在第二轮中移动位置并获得额外的第四轮选秀权。

British boxer Connor Benn has signed a new multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, expanding his partnership with the group led by Dana White and Turki Alalshikh. The announcement on Friday came just days after Benn defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 12.

The 10-round catchweight bout marked Benn’s first appearance under Zuffa since leaving Matchroom Boxing earlier this year. The new deal confirms his long-term commitment to the promotion after a short-term deal which reportedly paid him £11.19 million for the Progress fight.

Strong start builds long-term Zuffa commitment

Ben’s performance against Progress was instrumental in securing a new deal. He controlled the fight in all 10 rounds and won by clear decision on the scorecards. The result improved his professional record and brought Zuffa Boxing early success in the sport.

The April 12 event attracted attention as one of Zuffa’s first major boxing shows. Benn’s victory showed that he could operate in a high-profile setting outside the traditional campaign structure. It also supported Zuffa’s aim of holding competitive matchups with recognized names.

After the fight, Ben confirmed his new deal. “Yeah guys, I just signed a new multi-fight deal that I’m very, very excited about. Our visions are the same; our goal is the same: to win world titles, but, more importantly, to give the people the fights they want. Mega fights. If you guys want it, you guys can get it,” he said.

Dana White also confirmed the agreement. White said, “Conor and I signed a new deal after his one-fight deal. We’re excited to have him. We’re ready for some big fights.” His statement reinforced Zuffa’s focus on staging major bouts as part of its long-term planning.

Deal sets new direction by separating from Matchroom

Benn’s decision to remain with Zuffa follows his departure from Matchroom Boxing, which is led by Eddie Hearn. The move ended a long-standing relationship and moved Ben away from the traditional UK boxing structure.

His first deal with Zuffa was a single-fight deal. The new agreement expands that arrangement into a multi-conflict commitment. Reports indicate that the deal may involve several fights over several years, although the exact terms have not been publicly confirmed.

The deal places Ben among the premier fighters on Zuffa’s growing roster. The promotion aims to establish itself as a dominant force in boxing by holding events on larger platforms and focusing on high-profile matchups.

Ben turned professional in 2016 and is undefeated by no contest against Chris Eubank Jr. His recent win and new deal mark an important step in his career as he continues to pursue a world title.

Zuffa Boxing is still in its early stages, but the company has moved quickly to sign notable fighters. Ben’s decision to proceed with his deal confirms his role in that scheme. The announcement Friday adds another development to the ongoing changes in boxing promotions as new organizations look to compete with established names.

英国拳击手康纳·本 (Conor Benn) 与 Zuffa Boxing 签署了一项新的多场比赛协议，扩大了与达纳·怀特 (Dana White) 和图尔基·阿拉什赫 (Turki Alalshikh) 领导的团体的合作关系。这一消息是在周五宣布的，就在几天前，本恩于 4 月 12 日在托特纳姆热刺球场以一致判定击败了雷吉斯·普罗格雷斯。

这场10回合的无量级比赛是本今年早些时候离开Matchroom Boxing后在祖法麾下首次亮相。新协议确认了他对晋升的长期承诺，此前据报道，该短期协议为他在 Prograis 比赛中支付了 1119 万英镑。

强势亮相带来 Zuffa 的长期承诺

本在对阵 Prograis 的比赛中的表现对于确保新合同发挥了关键作用。他控制了所有 10 回合的比赛，并在记分卡上以明显的判定获胜。这一结果提高了他的职业记录，并使祖法拳击运动在进军这项运动方面取得了早期成功。

4 月 12 日的比赛作为 Zuffa 的首批大型拳击表演之一引起了人们的关注。本的胜利表明他可以在传统促销结构之外的高调环境中发挥作用。它还支持了祖法的目标，即举办以知名名字为主角的竞争性比赛。

比赛结束后，本确认了他的新合同。 “是的，伙计们，我刚刚签署了一份新的多场比赛协议，我对此感到非常非常兴奋。我们的愿景是一致的；我们的目标保持不变：赢得世界冠军，但更重要的是，为人们提供他们想要的比赛。大型比赛。如果你们想要的话，你们就能得到它，”他说。

达纳·怀特也证实了这一协议。 “康纳和我刚刚在他的一场比赛后签署了一份新合同。我们很高兴拥有他。我们准备好进行一些大战，”怀特说。他的声明强化了祖法对组织重大比赛的关注，作为其长期计划的一部分。

与 Matchroom 分拆后的交易并设定新方向

在离开由埃迪·赫恩 (Eddie Hearn) 领导的 Matchroom Boxing 后，本决定继续与祖法合作。此举结束了长期的关系，并使本恩远离了传统的英国拳击结构。

他与祖法的第一份协议是单场比赛。新合同将这一安排扩展为多场比赛的承诺。有报道称，这笔交易可能包括多年来的几场战斗，但具体条款尚未公开确认。

该协议使本成为祖法不断壮大的名单中的关键战士之一。此次推广活动旨在通过大平台举办赛事、聚焦高规格对决，打造拳坛主力军。

本于 2016 年转为职业球员，除了与小克里斯·尤班克 (Chris Eubank Jr.) 的一场无战之外，一直保持不败。他最近的胜利和新合同标志着他职业生涯中迈出的重要一步，因为他将继续追求世界冠军。

祖法拳击仍处于早期阶段，但该公司已迅速采取行动签下著名拳击手。本决定延长合同证实了他在该计划中的角色。随着新组织寻求与老牌组织竞争，周五的公告为拳击推广领域正在进行的变化增添了又一​​进展。

Parker Messick came so to close. With three outs remaining in the game, the young southpaw held the Baltimore Orioles without a hit in eight innings. He gave up only two free passes, walking Taylor Ward in the first and Leodi Taveras in the sixth. Taveras finally broke up the no-hit bid on the first pitch of the ninth.

Messick has performed brilliantly for the Guardians so far this year. As of Thursday night, he had allowed only one run. This came on the single shot allowed against the Chicago Cubs on April 5. Heading into Thursday, he had a ridiculously low 0.51 ERA. He ended the no-no bid by giving up two runs in the ninth, raising his ERA to 1.05 points.

that number is still there crazy Less. Messick has been a co-star with Gavin Williams for this Cleveland team that is not living up to expectations. But Messick’s near-no-no reminds MLB fans of something else.

Where have all the no-hitters gone?

It feels like the no-hitter has ceased to exist, partly because it has ceased to exist. The last no-hitter came off the combined effort of Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson and the Cubs’ Porter Hodge. That game came on September 4 of the 2024 season. The final no-hitter pitched was a single by Blake Snell on August 2 of that year to the San Francisco Giants.

Had four no-hitters in the 2024 season. The total since then has been zero. And it’s not for lack of trying.

So far, the closest was Los Angeles Dodgers star Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 8 2/3 no-hitter against Baltimore last year. which is definitely the biggest comeback ever SometimesOrioles second baseman Jackson Holliday broke it up by hitting a ninth-inning, two-out home run, before the O’s, down to their last out, managed a walk against the defending World Series champions.

There are a lot of pitchers out there who can throw the next one. But no-hitters are fickle. They often come when you least expect it, and not always from those you expect. Take the snail. Many questioned his ability to go deeper than six innings due to his inability to limit walks. But he managed to accomplish it on only 114 pitches.

Only time will tell if anyone will be able to accomplish it this season. Until then, the historic no-hitter drought will continue.

帕克·梅西克来了 所以 关闭。在比赛还剩三出局的情况下，这位年轻的左撇子在八局比赛中没有安打巴尔的摩金莺队。他还只放弃了两次自由传球，在第一场比赛中保送泰勒·沃德，在第六场比赛中保送莱迪·塔维拉斯。塔维拉斯最终在第九局的第一球中打破了无安打的出价。

今年到目前为止，梅西克在守护者队的表现令人眼花缭乱。直到周四晚上，他只允许跑一分。这是 4 月 5 日对阵芝加哥小熊队时的一次单人投篮。进入周四，他的自责分率低得离谱，只有 0.51。他在第九局丢了两分，结束了禁止出价的局面，将自责分率提高到了 1.05。

这个数字依然是 疯狂的 低的。梅西克与加文·威廉姆斯一起成为克利夫兰这支球队的共同王牌，这支球队继续超出人们的预期。但梅西克的近乎禁忌让美国职棒大联盟球迷想起了其他事情。

无安打选手都去哪儿了？

感觉就像无安打比赛已经不复存在，部分原因是它已经存在了。最后一场无安打比赛是小熊队的今永翔太、内特·皮尔森和波特·霍奇的共同努力。那场比赛于 2024 赛季的 9 月 4 日举行。最后一次无安打独奏是同年 8 月 2 日与布莱克·斯内尔 (Blake Snell) 为旧金山巨人队 (San Francisco Giants) 投出的。

2024 年赛季有四支无安打比赛。从那时起，总数就为零。这并不是因为缺乏努力。

到目前为止，最接近的成绩是洛杉矶道奇队的王牌山本嘉信去年对阵巴尔的摩队时打出的 8 2/3 无安打比赛。可以说是最伟大的回归 曾经金莺队的二垒手杰克逊·霍利迪在第九局打出两出局的本垒打打破了比分，而金莺队则在最后出局时成功击败了卫冕世界大赛冠军。

有很多投手可以投下一球。但无安打选手的情况变化无常。它们常常在你最意想不到的时候出现，而且并不总是来自你所期望的人。以斯内尔为例。许多人质疑他打得比六局更深的能力，因为他似乎无法限制保送。但他只用了 114 次投球就完成了这一任务。

只有时间才能证明本赛季是否有人能做到这一点。在那之前，历史性的无安打比赛荒将继续下去。

老實說，沒有人真正知道芝加哥公牛隊的下一步是什麼。他們解雇了副總裁阿圖拉斯·卡尼索瓦斯和總經理馬克·埃弗斯利，但沒有人知道誰是下一個。此外，關於主教練比利·多諾萬在芝加哥是否有未來還沒有任何消息。

公牛隊唯一擁有的就是來自波特蘭拓荒者隊的兩個首輪選秀權，拓荒者隊在入圍賽中擊敗了菲尼克斯太陽隊——當然，這是一個值得炫耀的榮譽徽章。

與此同時，芝加哥老闆邁克爾雷因斯多夫似乎希望讓多諾萬繼續擔任主教練。

根據 CHGO Bulls 報導，這讓 NBA 分析師 Tim Ledgler 非常懊惱。本質上，萊格勒認為這違反了常規。傳統的觀點是，當球隊有了新的總經理時，他們希望聘請一位接受他們做事方式的教練。

「這有點令人震驚，因為這不符合協議，」他說。

“這有點令人震驚，因為這不符合協議。”

芝加哥隊以 31 勝 51 負的成績結束了 2026 年賽季。這個賽季因陣容更替、傷病和不穩定而受到影響。多諾萬自 2020 年起擔任主教練，大約在同一時間卡尼索瓦斯和埃弗斯利接任管理層。

從那時起，芝加哥在多諾萬的任期內只進入過一次季後賽。他們在 2022 年首輪五場比賽中輸給了密爾瓦基公鹿隊。從那時起，芝加哥隊努力在一個賽季中贏得至少 40 場比賽。

儘管圍繞著多諾萬的傳聞很多，喬許·吉迪和馬塔斯·布澤利斯都表示希望多諾萬繼續留任。

從歷史上看，雷因斯多夫的所有權在球隊的管理上一直守口如瓶，不插手。

While New York Giants fans and players are thrilled that John Harbaugh is their new head coach, one of their former stars the Baltimore Ravens is very happy to see him go.

After three poor seasons with Brian Daboll leading the roster, Big Blue fans are excited about the team’s potential with Harbaugh overseeing the veterans. And for good reason. He has a career record of 180–113, led the Ravens to the playoffs in 12 of his 18 seasons, and has a Super Bowl victory on his resume (2012).

Due to his impressive success, it would be understandable if some players in Baltimore were disappointed with Harbaugh’s firing and were fearful about maintaining the standard he set. However, don’t count Jay Flowers out of that group as the two-time Pro Bowler blames the coach for the team’s injury problems in 2025.

Zay Flowers calls John Harbaugh the reason for the Baltimore Ravens’ injury problems in 2025

“Full pads all the time,” Flowers said. Fourth and South Podcast about practices under Harbaugh. “There are any number of practices you can get in pads (in the NFL), every single one. Week 17, we’re practicing one-on-one, everybody out there, we’re tired, we’re still going… That’s why we had a lot of injuries, because of how we practiced, how we went. The load was heavy.”

The Ravens faced a surprising amount of injuries in 2025, with season-ending illnesses to Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington Jr. and top star Lamar Jackson missing several weeks. In an era where players compete in 17 games and are getting injured more than ever, it is concerning that Harbaugh is still practicing hard at the end of the season.

This approach may have worked 10 years ago, but it may not be suitable for current players. With Harbaugh having so much control in New York, it’s unlikely he’ll be forced to part with his favorite habits in a year. If the Giants have injury problems in 2026, Flowers may have provided an early warning.

虽然纽约巨人队的球迷和球员对约翰·哈博成为他们的新主教练感到兴奋，但他来自巴尔的摩乌鸦队的前球星之一也很高兴看到他离开。

在布莱恩·达博尔 (Brian Daboll) 带领球队度过了三个悲惨的赛季后，蓝色巨人球迷对哈博 (Harbaugh) 监管巨人队的球队潜力感到兴奋。这是有充分理由的。他的职业生涯战绩为 180 胜 113 负，在 18 个赛季中有 12 个赛季带领乌鸦队进入季后赛，并在他的简历中赢得了超级碗冠军（2012 年）。

由于他令人印象深刻的成功，如果一些巴尔的摩球员对哈博被解雇感到失望并担心维持他设定的标准，这是可以理解的。然而，不要将 Zay Flowers 算在其中，因为这位两届职业保龄球手将 2025 年球队的伤病问题归咎于教练。

扎伊·弗劳尔斯 (Zay Flowers) 提出约翰·哈博 (John Harbaugh) 是巴尔的摩乌鸦队 2025 年伤病困扰的原因

“一直都用完整的护垫，”弗劳尔斯告诉记者。 第四及南 关于哈博实践的播客。 “无论在 NFL 中，你可以进行多少次穿着护垫的训练，每一次都是如此。第 17 周，我们正在进行一对一的训练，每个人都在场，我们很累，但我们仍在继续……这就是为什么我们有很多伤病，因为我们的训练方式、我们的训练方式。负荷很重。”

乌鸦队在 2025 年遭遇了大量伤病，其中包括纳姆迪·马杜布克和小布罗德里克·华盛顿因病赛季报销，顶级球星拉马尔·杰克逊缺席数周。在球员参加 17 场比赛且受伤次数比以往任何时候都多的时代，哈博在赛季末仍然进行艰苦的训练令人担忧。

这种方法可能在 10 年前有效，但可能不太适合现在的玩家。由于哈博在纽约拥有如此大的控制权，他不太可能在第一年被迫放弃自己喜欢的习惯。如果巨人队在 2026 年出现伤病问题，弗劳尔斯可能会提前发出警告，说明原因。

Coming off of their third consecutive trip to the Elite Eight, Rick Barnes and the Tennessee Volunteers have hit the college basketball transfer portal hard this summer and another significant change could be coming.

On3.com’s Joe Tipton wrote Friday that he would give the Volunteers “the edge” in the fight to remove VCU guard Terrence Hill Jr. from the portal.

RELATED: Tennessee Volunteers in top 3 for star portal player

The 6-foot-3 Hill arrived in Knoxville earlier this week and is staying for a long time. That’s what happened to Tennessee’s four current commits — Miles Rubin, Dai Dai Ames, Jalen Harrelson and Tyler Lundblad, who all attended the program at the end of their official visits.

The Kansas Jayhawks and Oklahoma Sooners have also been linked to the VCU transfer. However, Tipton says it “does not seem likely” Hill will travel to Norman.

RELATED: Tennessee Volunteers to spend big bucks on basketball

On3 and Rivals.com ranked Hill as the 24th-best player and eighth-best guard in the college basketball transfer portal this offseason. Jeff Borzello of ESPN ranked him the 21st best player available.

“Hill undoubtedly boosted his stock with his performance against North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He led VCU to a 19-point comeback and upset victory with 34 points, five rebounds and five assists. He earned first-team All-Atlantic 10 honors last season after averaging 15.0 points while shooting 37% from 3.”

ESPN’s Jeff Borzello defends Terrence Hill Jr.

In his final season with VCU, the 20-year-old emerged as one of the biggest breakout stars outside of the Power 4 conferences. He earned first-team All-Atlantic 10 honors and was named Atlantic 10 Tournament MVP, Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year and the conference’s Most Improved Player.

In his final 15 games with the program, he averaged 15.7 points, 3.1 assists and 3 rebounds per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the field. Hill also played a key role in VCU’s conference title, averaging 17.3 ppg, and in the first round win over the North Carolina Tar Heels where he scored 34 points on 23 shots in an 82–78 overtime win.

With Barnes looking to add more scoring ahead of next season, Hill will certainly help in that regard. He also provides perimeter shooting – 2.3 three-pointers per game at 37 percent – ​​for a team that ranks 296th nationally in three-pointers made per game (6.6) and 208th in three-point percentage (33.4 percent).

有新传言称菲尼克斯太阳队将在夏季交易一名才华横溢但陷入困境的两届全明星球员，与下赛季的德文·布克搭档。

太阳队的赛季还没有结束，如果他们能够在今晚的附加赛中击败金州勇士队，他们就有机会锁定本月的季后赛席位。然而，如果他们获胜，没有人会指望菲尼克斯在季后赛中能取得长足的进步。尤其是在本周早些时候他们输给了波特兰开拓者队之后，他们的第一场附加赛输掉了。

无论周五晚上发生什么，这对太阳队来说仍然是一个积极的赛季。尽管在休赛期解雇了主教练迈克·布登霍尔泽、交易了凯文·杜兰特并释放了布拉德利·比尔，但球队实际上在新主教练乔丹·奥特的带领下又赢了九场比赛。尽管如此，如果这支球队想在 2026-27 赛季更进一步，他们需要更多有影响力的人才。

菲尼克斯太阳队今年夏天会追求贾·莫兰特交易吗？

在老板马特·伊什比亚的带领下，太阳队表现出了大胆改进球队的意愿。好吧，一个新的谣言表明他们可能会在这个休赛期采取冒险的举动来引进一名超级天才球员。根据布兰登“Scoop B”罗宾逊的说法，菲尼克斯正在成为夏季交易孟菲斯灰熊队球星贾·莫兰特的早期热门。另一支球队据信是萨克拉门托国王队。

太阳队本赛季严重缺乏第二位有意义的球员制造者。这迫使德文·布克不仅要成为他们的主要得分手，还要成为他们的顶级协调员。莫兰特肯定会减轻布克的得分和组织负担，并可能创造一个危险的后场二人组。

然而，潜在的交易伴随着风险。莫兰特的身价处于历史最低点，这对太阳队来说是好事。但这是因为他可能造成场外麻烦，以及过去几个赛季的严重伤病困扰。比赛中的许多人都认为，由于伤病问题，他可能无法回到原来的状态。

As we continue to discuss the upcoming NHL playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning, we have already established which team will have the advantage at 5v5.

Statistically speaking, the Bolts are the better team at even strength and by a fairly wide margin. And yet, once we filter out the results of the four games between the Habs and the Lightning, the Canadiens ultimately have the better shot share.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some special team stats that will power organizations in the playoffs.

Canadiens Vs. electric powerplay

There are two ways to look at this. The first involves judging the powerplay efficiency of the respective teams and declaring the winner. Thus, with a 23.1% efficiency, the Canadiens are the better team with the man advantage than the Lightning (20.7%).

However, once we dig a little, it becomes clear that the Habs are using their excellent shooting skills to maintain their powerplay, which would be considered ‘at risk’ once a thorough audit is completed.

While the Canadiens have the 10th-best power play in the league, and with the advantage of having the 10th-most goalscorers per 60 minutes of ice time, they are among the worst clubs in the entire league when it comes to regular shots as well as high-danger scoring opportunities.

The Lightning are worse than the Habs in both goals and efficiency, though the discrepancy between their shots and goals isn’t as glaring as we’re seeing in Montreal.

This presents the Canadiens with a reality that must be addressed in the playoffs: they probably score more goals on the power play than they want to. On the other side of the coin, it also suggests that they can improve their game with the man advantage by taking more shots.

Of course, this has been pointed out all year and very little has been done to improve the deteriorating state of the power play.

Canadiens Vs. thunderbolt penalty killing

The Canadiens are the better team on the power play, but the same cannot be said on the penalty kill. The Lightning kill more penalties, allow fewer routine and high-danger scoring opportunities, not to mention actual goals.

All things considered, one team is elite, while the other is struggling to emerge from the bottom of the league.

To make matters more interesting, Andrei Vasilevskiy had the third-highest save percentage on the penalty kill in the entire regular season (.900), while Jacob Dobbs (.859) was 26th. As for Jacob Fowler, he was only on the ice for 90 penalty kill minutes, finishing the season with an .873 save percentage in that position.

Simply put, while we can debate how much of an advantage the Canadiens actually have on the power play, we probably shouldn’t waste too much time debating which club will have a significant edge on the penalty kill.

我们继续讨论即将到来的蒙特利尔加拿大人队和坦帕湾闪电队之间的 NHL 季后赛系列赛，我们已经确定了哪支球队将在 5v5 中占据优势。

从统计数据来看，博尔特队在实力均等的情况下是更好的球队，而且差距也相当大。然而，一旦我们将结果过滤到哈布斯队和闪电队之间的四场比赛，加拿大人队最终拥有更高的投篮份额。

考虑到这一点，让我们来看看一些特殊球队的统计数据，这些数据将为季后赛中的组织提供动力。

加拿大人队对阵。闪电强力玩法

有两种看待这个问题的方法。第一个包括简单地重复各队的强力比赛效率，并宣布获胜者。从这一点来看，加拿大人队的效率为 23.1%，与闪电队 (20.7%) 相比，加拿大人队是具有人员优势的更好球队。

然而，一旦我们深入挖掘，就可以很明显地发现，哈布斯正在利用他们出色的射击技巧来维持他们的强力进攻，在完成深入审计后，这将被视为“处于危险之中”。

虽然加拿大人队的强力进攻在联盟中排名第 10，并且凭借人员优势，每 60 分钟上场时间的进球数排名第 10，但在产生常规投篮和高危险得分机会方面，他们是整个联盟中最差的俱乐部之一。

闪电队在进球和效率上都比哈布斯差，尽管他们的射门和进球之间的差异并不像我们在蒙特利尔看到的那样巨大。

这确实给加拿大人队带来了一个必须在季后赛中解决的现实：他们可能取得比应得的更多的强力进球。另一方面，这也表明他们可以通过更多的投篮来巩固他们的球员优势。

当然，这一点全年都被指出，但几乎没有采取任何措施来纠正日益恶化的实力派形势。

加拿大人队对阵。闪电罚杀

加拿大人队在强力进攻方面是更好的球队，但在点球杀戮方面却并非如此。闪电队杀掉了更多的点球，允许更少的常规和高危险得分机会，更不用说实际进球了。

总而言之，一支球队是精英队，而另一支球队则正在努力摆脱联盟的下半区。

更有趣的是，安德烈·瓦西列夫斯基 (Andrei Vasilevskiy) 整个常规赛的点球扑救率排名第三 (0.900)，而雅库布·多贝斯 (Jakub Dobes) (0.859) 排名第 26。至于雅各布·福勒 (Jacob Fowler)，他只在冰场上场了 90 分钟，在这种情况下以 0.873 的扑救率结束了赛季。

简而言之，虽然我们可以争论加拿大人队在强力比赛中真正拥有多少优势，但我们可能不应该浪费太多时间来争论哪个俱乐部将在点球大战中拥有显着优势。

紐約尼克隊將於週六在 NBA 季後賽首輪系列賽第一場比賽中迎戰亞特蘭大老鷹隊。比賽前，被稱為後場防守惡魔的何塞·阿爾瓦拉多透露了他是如何學會如何如此有效地搶斷內線傳球的。

在與卡梅隆安東尼一起客串“布魯克林晚上 7 點”節目時，這位 28 歲的後衛聲稱，他從前尼克斯隊球迷最愛的巴勃羅普里吉奧尼那裡學會瞭如何防守內線進攻並獲得搶斷。阿爾瓦拉多解釋了普里吉奧尼如何讓他假裝疲倦，然後在球入界後立即衝向球。

“[Prigioni] 告訴我，喲，表現得像你只是累了或走路，然後在他們入境時起飛，」阿爾瓦拉多說。「這不是真正的盜竊案，但它是類似的東西。 」

何塞·阿爾瓦拉多 (Jose Alvarado) 表示巴勃羅·普里吉奧尼 (Pablo Prigioni) 幫助他掌握了內線搶斷 (h/t @7PMin布魯克林）

“表現得好像你累了或者走路了，當他們進來時就起飛……這不是真正的盜竊案，但也有類似的情況。” pic.twitter.com/l8Ajfyrtol

— CTRL 敘述 (@ctrlnarrative) 2026 年 4 月 17 日

如果你觀看何塞·阿爾瓦拉多（Jose Alvarado）的一些精彩集錦，這幾乎就是他所做的事情。當對方球隊發界內球時，他實際上會在邊線閒逛，然後在他們到達半場之前衝向球，輕鬆搶斷。

早在 2012 年，35 歲的新秀巴勃羅·普里吉奧尼 (Pablo Prigioni) 首次亮相 NBA 之前，他就已經在 FIBA​​ 與阿根廷隊一起完善了這一點。普里吉奧尼在聯盟總共效力了四個賽季，效力於尼克隊、休士頓火箭隊和洛杉磯快艇隊。

我們應該在整個季後賽中看到阿爾瓦拉多的大量滑稽動作。尼克斯隊在本賽季截止日期前通過與新奧爾良鵜鶘隊的交易獲得了他。本賽季他在尼克隊總共出賽 69 場比賽中的 28 場，場均貢獻 6.6 分、2.0 個籃板、3.8 次助攻和 1.0 次搶斷，投籃命中率為 41.4%，三分命中率為 33.0%。

訂單後面的生產是密爾瓦基熱火開局的關鍵因素。然而，最近產量急劇下降。

自 4 月 7 日（釀酒人隊開始六場比賽下滑）以來，六到九名擊球手的擊球率（0.143）、長打率（0.152）、OPS（0.383）、wOBA（0.188）和 wRC+（15）在 MLB 中排名墊底。這幾乎是產生底層結果的擊球順序的一半，並且極大地損害了進攻。

僅供參考，從開幕日到 4 月 6 日，釀酒人隊戰績為 8 勝 2 負，並且是棒球界最好的進攻之一，同一部分的排名在 OPS 中排名第 17 位 (0.658)，在 wRC+ 中排名第 13 位 (97)，在 wOBA 中排名第 12 位 (0.314)。不是超凡脫俗的結果，而是戲劇性的下降對進攻的一致性造成了重大的連鎖反應。

暫且， 喬伊·奧爾蒂斯 是球隊的先發遊擊手，他需要變得更好。他持續擊球接近順序的後部，僅削減 0.204/.250/.204，獲得 0.454 OPS 和 32 wRC+。

It looks like Nikki Bella will not be cleared to compete at WrestleMania 42: Night 1. However, a new rumor reveals a replacement that longtime WWE fans will love.

Three weeks earlier, on an episode of SmackDown, Bella injured her ankle in a tag match with her sister Brie against two WrestleMania 42 opponents, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. After the show, it was reported that the injury was not minor, and his availability for this weekend’s show was up in the air.

Well, on Friday, PW Insider is not cleared to participate in the Women’s Tag Team Title match also featuring Bayley and Lyra Valkyria and defending champions Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend). However, while Nikki is out of the match, her sister is reportedly staying in. But will she be competing alone?

No, Bella will have a mysterious partner. The outlet also revealed that none other than Paige, aka Saraya in AEW, will be making her grand return to WWE on Saturday night for the first time since retiring from the company due to a neck injury in 2018.

Paige will return at the long-awaited WWE WrestleMania 42

PW Insider’s Mike Johnson wrote, “Sarayah Jade-Beavis, better known as Paige during her original tenure with the company, has signed to return as a wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment and is expected to return to the ring as part of WrestleMania 42 this weekend.”

After ending his wrestling career at just 26 years old, Page worked as an interviewer and host for WWE until his contract expires in the summer of 2022. A few months later, she would end her retirement and return to the ring for AEW. She would go on to win the top women’s title.

Paige/Saraiya officially parted ways with AEW last year after their contracts with WWE’s top rival expired.

不，贝拉将会有一个神秘的搭档。该媒体还透露，佩奇（AEW 中的萨拉亚）将于周六晚上隆重回归 WWE，这是她自 2018 年因颈部受伤从公司退役以来首次回归。

佩奇将在摔角狂热 42 上回归期待已久的 WWE

PW Insider 的迈克·约翰逊 (Mike Johnson) 写道：“萨拉娅·杰德-贝维斯 (Saraya Jade-Bevis)，在她最初任职公司时被称为佩奇 (Paige)，已签约以摔跤手身份回归世界摔跤娱乐公司，预计将于本周末作为摔角狂热 42 的一部分重返擂台。”

年仅 26 岁就不得不结束自己的摔跤生涯后，佩奇担任 WWE 的采访者和主持人，直到她的合同于 2022 年夏天到期。几个月后，她结束了退休生活，重返 AEW 的擂台。她将继续赢得她们的顶级女子冠军。

New Jersey Devils win general manager free agent frenzy.

Sunny Mehta was named Devils GM on Thursday evening. Mehta wanted devils. And the devils wanted him.

The stars aligned with it.

Mehta, an analytical guru, will bring a fresh perspective to the position left by former GM Tom Fitzgerald. Said approach begins immediately.

The Devils have a long list of things to address ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft and free agent frenzy.

So, where does he start?

Decision on Sheldon Keefe and coaching staff

First and foremost, Mehta will have to decide whether Sheldon Keefe will remain as head coach.

Keefe made a case for himself during the 2025–26 regular season with a healthy Jack Hughes in the lineup. New Jersey went 14-10-1 after the Olympic break. Before Hughes’ injury, the Devils were 11–4–1. If you remove the sandwich from the season when Hughes was injured that’s a combined 104-point pace.

Did he rely sufficiently on the powers of New Jersey? Certainly not when Hughes was out, nor when he was less than 100%.

The question becomes, can they get enough value from the rest of their roster if Hughes gets injured again in the future?

It depends on Mehta.

The rest of the coaching staff is also not in trouble. The power play and penalty kill were mediocre. The goaltender, namely Jacob Markstrom, was hit or miss – and most of the time, Markstrom missed.

Most, if not all, of the support staff were working on expiring contracts. Mehta will soon evaluate the work and decide whether to renew or not.

strengthen his cabinet

Mehta joins fellow assistant general managers Martin Brodeur, Dan MacKinnon and Kate Madigan.

It is unlikely that Brodeur—perhaps the most famous devil of all time—will be relieved of his duties. However, would Mehta want to surround himself with forward thinkers like him?

These are decisions that can come later. We know there are GM positions open in Nashville, Toronto, and as of this morning, Vancouver.

With only so many positions to fill, candidates can remain in their current roles, or look for something new if they wish.

Would Jamie Langenbrunner like to work for the organization he used to captain? How about Brett Pietersen? Does he want to continue working with Mehta after working together with the Florida Panthers?

If true change is going to happen, bringing in like-minded managers like Mehta will definitely turn things around.

Evaluate the scouting department

Fitzgerald has a poor track record in the draft.

They performed well alongside names like Luke Hughes, Lenny Haminaho and potential stud goaltender Mikhail Yegorov.

Simon Nemec is still in question as to his draft status, but it looks like this could work out. However, players like Logan Cooley and Cutter Gauthier—who had just scored 40 goals—were there for the taking. An argument can be made that he still misses out on the second overall pick in 2022.

And that’s exactly it. A large number of upsets and misses by Fitzgerald in key draft positions, such as when he selected Alexander Holtz and Chase Stillman, have hurt today’s roster.

What is depth scoring? Well, substitute Logan Stankoven for Stillman or Seth Jarvis for Holtz and maybe you’ll find out.

Mehta needs scouts he can trust to find gems outside the first handful of players. And he knows how to find them himself, advocating for Jesper Bratt when the Devils drafted him in 2016, when Mehta was head of the analytics department.

Sort out the major pending free agents

The Devils have three major contract issues they can address this summer.

Two, they have no choice. Arseniy Gritsyuk is a pending restricted free-agent. He is another man who chose to come to the devils and the devils chose to have him. His first NHL season after making a name for himself in the KHL was spectacular. In fact, it got so good, even Jack Hughes sees it as an original part.

He loves New Jersey, and New Jersey loves him. This should be easy to solve.

Perhaps the namecheck will be a little more difficult to sort out. The 22-year-old defenseman took a step forward this season, but you can still see where he lacks.

Offensively, the touch is there. He scored 11 goals in 68 games this season and found a clutch level the Devils could use.

However, there are still questions over his play defensively. It is reported that he could start by asking for a contract similar to Luke. Sure, he won’t be able to do that, but how far can Mehta bring down Namek and his camp?

And, of course, the captain needs a new deal on July 1, 2027. Does Mehta want to let that narrative continue for an entire season? Find out how far Hischier does or doesn’t want to commit to New Jersey and that decision will be made as soon as possible. The longer this goes on, the worse it will be for the devils.

address dougie hamilton

And finally, Mehta will have to address the Dougie Hamilton situation.

The Devils defenseman has not spoken publicly since December 17, when speculation arose that he had rejected a trade, and then allegations of a trade being made public by his agent.

It was later confirmed that Hamilton declined a deal that would have sent him to the San Jose Sharks.

It seems quite clear that Hamilton is unhappy with the current situation. Can Mehta improve it?

Or, does it give him a reason to move out of the $9 million cap hit that will give him the flexibility he needs to be a top-six forward?

One thing is certain. Clarity is needed with Hamilton. Either he is staying or he is going. Any uncertainty will only increase tension.

The National Football League has made headlines in recent months for going back to its broadcast partners with staggering demands for future rights to games. This seems to be influencing what it would cost to run a 30-second ad in Super Bowl LXI.

According to Brian Steinberg of Variety.com, Disney has informed advertisers that they must pay $10 million for a 30-second ad block during next year’s Super Bowl LXI. However, advertisers are reportedly putting pressure on the price.

RELATED: NBC May Lose Rights to Sunday Night Football

Worth noting is that Disney doesn’t seem to be as effective as Fox and NBC at selling Super Bowl ad spots this time of year, according to Steinberg. Previously, other networks had sold 40 to 60 percent of their 30-second spots by May before the Super Bowl; Disney has reportedly “not made the same progress” in said efforts.

All this comes as Disney joins Fox, NBC and CBS in negotiating new TV rights contracts with the NFL due to increased interest from Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and Google’s YouTube. The talks between the two sides have not been good.

CNBC’s Alexander Sherman previously reported that networks are “more comfortable” paying a rights fee increase of about 25 percent over the current deal. However, the NFL is working hard for a 100 percent increase.

As all this is going on, the Justice Department has begun investigating the NFL and whether it is using “anti-competitive tactics” to harm consumers and make games less accessible and affordable to watch.

It certainly seems like advertisers are taking the same approach in negotiations with Disney as the company is in contract negotiations with the NFL. If history is any guide, deals will be made with costs passed on to consumers.

近几个月来，国家橄榄球联盟因向其转播合作伙伴提出对未来比赛转播权的惊人要求而成为头条新闻。这似乎影响了在第 61 届超级碗上播放 30 秒广告的成本。

Variety.com 的布莱恩·斯坦伯格 (Brian Steinberg) 表示，迪士尼已通知广告商，他们应在明年第 61 届超级碗期间为 30 秒的广告块支付 1000 万美元。然而，据报道，广告商正在降低价格。

相关：NBC 可能会失去周日橄榄球之夜的转播权

斯坦伯格表示，值得注意的是，每年这个时候，迪士尼在销售超级碗广告位方面似乎并不像福克斯和 NBC 那样有效。此前，其他网络在 5 月份超级碗比赛之前已售出 40% 至 60% 的 30 秒广告。据报道，迪士尼在上述努力中“没有取得类似的进展”。

所有这一切发生之际，迪士尼正与福克斯、NBC 和 CBS 一起努力与 NFL 谈判新的电视转播权合同，这要归功于亚马逊 Prime Video、Netflix 和谷歌 YouTube 的兴趣日益浓厚。双方的谈判进展并不顺利。

CNBC 的亚历山大·谢尔曼 (Alexander Sherman) 此前报道称，网络公司“更愿意”支付比当前交易增加约 25% 的版权费。然而，NFL 正在努力争取 100% 的增长。

随着这一切的发生，美国司法部已对 NFL 展开调查，调查其是否使用“反竞争策略”来伤害消费者，并降低观看比赛的机会和价格。

看起来广告商在与迪士尼的谈判中采取了与该公司与 NFL 的合同谈判相同的立场。如果以史为鉴的话，达成交易时会将成本转嫁给消费者。

洛杉磯湖人隊正準備與休士頓火箭隊展開季後賽首輪系列賽，但最近的一份報告給勒布朗詹姆斯賽季結束後的未來增添了好奇。

在周五發布的一份合作報告中，《The Athletic》的丹·沃伊克和薩姆·阿米克詳細介紹了湖人隊的兩名隊友在 1 月 28 日以 129-99 輸給克利夫蘭騎士隊後如何相信詹姆斯在洛杉磯的任期可能即將結束。

1 月 28 日，詹姆斯本賽季在克利夫蘭的唯一一場比賽中，每個人都看到這位球星在一場比賽視頻致敬中擦去了眼淚。

每次湖人隊在克利夫蘭比賽時，騎士隊都會在記分板上顯示出這一點。但這一次，詹姆斯哭了。

「沒想到會這樣，」他說。

「在那場比賽之前，詹姆斯的兩名隊友看到電視攝影機和俄亥俄州媒體人員在詹姆斯的更衣室周圍閒逛，同時與他們曾經報道過的球員聊天。

湖人隊隊友對勒布朗·詹姆斯退休後的未來存在分歧，騎士隊回歸的猜測越來越多

一名球員確信詹姆斯會繼續打球，賽季初因坐骨神經痛而導致他缺席訓練營、季前賽和前 14 場比賽的鏽跡剛開始消失，他可以提供很多東西。另一個人認為詹姆斯即將退休。

「沒有什麼好證明的了，」第二位湖人球員說。 “這就像玩一款你已經通關了 80 次的電子遊戲。你已經做到了。”

那天晚上，那些球員一致認為，他們不知道詹姆斯在本賽季結束後會發生什麼事——除了他們認為他不會加入湖人隊。 」

該報告強調了詹姆斯在繼續他的第 23 個 NBA 賽季時未來的不確定性。這位 41 歲的球員仍然富有成效，是湖人隊季後賽的核心人物，但有關他可能重返克利夫蘭或退休的猜測仍然存在。

洛杉磯將於太平洋時間週六下午 5:30 在 ABC 上主辦與休士頓的第一場比賽，季後賽即將開始。雖然球隊仍然專注於這個系列賽，但有關詹姆斯長期計劃的問題繼續浮出水面，而他在克利夫蘭的情緒反應等時刻加劇了這個問題。

隨著季後賽的展開，詹姆斯的表現和健康狀況對於湖人隊的機會仍然至關重要，儘管他職業生涯的下一步仍存在不確定性。

After 23XI Racing effectively won its lawsuit against NASCAR, securing a permanent charter and a large financial settlement, the team’s focus turned to re-signing Tyler Reddick. With contract negotiations stretching into the season, the new asking price could be staggering.

Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern reported this week that industry executives have estimated that Reddick’s demands in the NASCAR Fool’s Season could push his contract demand to as much as $7 million per season.

RELATED: NASCAR Power Rankings after Bristol, see where Tyler Reddick lands

It’s not hard to see why there could be an intense bidding war for Redick. Not only is 23XI Racing looking to bring him back to the No. 45 car long-term, but Hendrick Motorsports is also likely to have the No. 48 car available.

Bowman’s contract year has been derailed by vertigo, which has kept him out of four races, effectively leaving him with no realistic shot at making The Chase. He was already viewed as the hot seat entering the season, Hendrick wanted to find a driver who could give him another Cup Series championship contender.

RELATED: Denny Hamlin Addresses Tyler Reddick’s Future With 23XI

With the two teams making the most money, Reddick could use 23XI and Hendricks against each other to generate bigger offers. He’s also ready to hit the open market at just the right time in his Cup Series career.

It certainly would have been cheaper for 23XI to sign Redick to an extension before the season. He was coming off a winless season, seemingly taking a step back from winning the team’s first regular season cup title. Fast forward to now, he has made more team history.

Reddick became the first 23XI driver to win the Daytona 500 and the first driver to win three consecutive Cup Series races. Even before April hit, he broke the team’s single-season wins record with four trips to Victory Lane.

Realistically, 23XI will sign Redick to a new contract before the summer ends, and that could be followed by an announcement later this year that top prospect Corey Haim will replace Riley Herbst in the No. 35 car next season. In all likelihood, 23XI will have a three-driver team of Reddick, Hamm and Bubba Wallace in the near future.

在 23XI Racing 有效地赢得了对 NASCAR 的诉讼、获得永久特许权并获得巨额财务和解后，车队的重点转向了重新签下泰勒·雷迪克。随着合同谈判持续到本赛季，新的要价可能会令人震惊。

《体育商业杂志》的亚当·斯特恩本周报道称，行业高管推测，纳斯卡疯狂赛季对雷迪克的需求可能会将他的合同需求推至每赛季 700 万美元。

相关：布里斯托尔之后的纳斯卡实力排名，看看泰勒·雷迪克的排名

不难理解为什么雷迪克可能会出现激烈的竞购战。 23XI Racing 不仅希望他长期重返 45 号赛车，而且 48 号赛车也有可能在 Hendrick Motorsports 上出售。

鲍曼的合同年因眩晕而脱轨，使他缺席了四场比赛，有效地阻止了他参加《追逐》的任何现实镜头。他已经被视为进入赛季的热门人选，亨德里克希望找到一位能够为他们带来另一个杯赛冠军争夺者的车手。

相关：丹尼·哈姆林 (Denny Hamlin) 与 23XI 探讨泰勒·雷迪克 (Tyler Reddick) 的未来

由于有两支现金最充裕的球队在追逐他，雷迪克可以利用 23XI 和亨德里克相互竞争来产生更大的报价。他还准备在其杯赛生涯的最佳时机进入公开市场。

对于 23XI 来说，在赛季前与雷迪克续约肯定会更便宜。他刚刚结束了一个无胜赛季，似乎在赢得球队有史以来第一个常规赛杯冠军后退了一步。快进到现在，他创造了更多的球队历史。

雷迪克成为第一位赢得代托纳 500 大赛冠军的 23XI 车手，也是第一位连续三届杯赛系列赛冠军的车手。甚至在四月到来之前，他就四次进入胜利通道，打破了球队的单赛季胜利纪录。

实际上，23XI 将在夏季结束前与雷迪克签订一份新合同，并可能在今年晚些时候宣布顶级新星科里·海姆 (Corey Heim) 将取代莱利·赫布斯特 (Riley Herbst) 驾驶下赛季的 35 号赛车。在可预见的未来，23XI 很可能将拥有一支由雷迪克、海姆和布巴·华莱士组成的三名车手的车队。

在他的前 15 場比賽中，岡本的打擊率為 0.224/.297/.345，並且是 MLB 本賽季至少 22 次三振的 25 名擊球手之一。在從日本 NPB 到 MLB 的過渡過程中，他比賽中的揮桿失誤似乎呈現天文數字，因為他正在擴大自己的區域，並且揮桿失誤率超過 35%。

岡本在 NPB 技能中最吸引人的部分之一是他在本壘上控制三振的能力，在他的 NPB 職業生涯（2019 年）中，只有一次三振率超過 20%。他2026年的K率為34.4%。

他是一名能夠連續安打的球員，但 2026 年到目前為止，他只打出了 3 場多安打比賽，並有 6 場多次三振比賽，包括 4 月 3 日在芝加哥舉行的四次三振災難級比賽（被親切地稱為“金色草帽”）。

人們擔心他在 MLB 級別如何處理快球，而到目前為止，他實際上在調整方面做得很好，擊球率為 0.333，長打率為 0.593，並且在對抗四縫線手時獲得 +2 跑分值 (RV)。然而，在對抗所有其他類型的投球時，他的總得分為 -4 RV，其中滑球、切球、弧線球、分球和變速球的撲球率達到或超過 40%。

A new NBA rumor reopens the door for the New York Knicks to go back to the blockbuster trade idea from a few years ago if they don’t reach the NBA Finals this spring.

There is a lot of pressure on Knicks head coach Mike Brown and his top stars heading into Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal matchup with the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. In the eyes of the team management, this is a team that should compete for the NBA championship in a few weeks.

Apart from this, their fans yearning for championship also have high expectations from this expensive roster. However, it will not be easy to overtake the East’s elite, and there is a very real possibility that they fall short of their goal in these playoffs. If they don’t at least reach the NBA Finals, changes are coming to New York.

There will certainly be changes to the roster, and many NBA experts expect the team to continue pursuing Milwaukee Bucks veteran Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer. However, a different effective option may be available.

Is the door open for the New York Knicks to trade Donovan Mitchell this offseason?

Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell is eligible for an extension this summer, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic. However, if he does not sign, “the organization will discuss the possibility of moving him, league sources said.”

Before Mitchell was traded to the Cavaliers four years ago, the Knicks were seen as a heavy favorite to acquire the New York native. The expectation was that he would be paired with big free agent Jalen Brunson. That was before the Knicks guard emerged as one of the game’s best. Having Brunson and Mitchell together in the backcourt could be a big problem for teams throughout the league.

Team president Leon Rose – if he keeps his job – cannot rule out going back to that original plan after their current failure. The big question is, does New York have the assets that would interest the Cavaliers in a potential trade?

In an ideal world, New York Giants decision-makers reportedly hope Jeremiah Love is still on the board when they make the No. 5 pick next week. However, if he doesn’t, they have three backup plans in mind.

There has been much speculation about what the Giants will do with the fifth overall selection in next week’s NFL Draft. Early mock drafts linked Big Blue to talented Ohio State safety Caleb Downs. And when new head coach John Harbaugh was asked about his choice to select him in Round 1, he even called him a potential Hall of Famer.

Still, while the coach is a fan of Downs, it seems a different player is at the top of his wish list. According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, “Coach Harbaugh and the Giants in particular are heavily dependent on Jeremiah Love. If he’s available, it’s hard to see them passing up that opportunity.”

New York Giants like to trade back in Round 1

There have been previous reports that, despite Cam Scatebo being there, the Giants brass were very interested in the Notre Dame running back and Heisman Trophy finalist. Unfortunately for New York, it looks likely that the Tennessee Titans will take him at No. 4. So what do they do if he’s no longer available?

According to Giants Insider, Downs and his OSU teammate Sonny Styles are the other players “highest on their radar” with the fifth overall selection. Still, a pick among the five is not considered an “ideal” scenario by Harbaugh and the front office.

“In an ideal world, the Giants would like to move back a few spots, add more picks (they have just two in the top 100), and draft a player like Caleb Downs. But that’s easier said than done,” Raanan reports.

In just less than a week, Giants fans will find out which direction the team goes with the No. 5 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

据报道，在一个完美的世界里，纽约巨人队的决策者希望下周挑选第五顺位时杰里米亚·洛夫仍然在董事会中。然而，如果他不这样做，他们会考虑三个备用计划。

关于巨人队将如何处理下周 NFL 选秀中的第五顺位选秀权，人们有很多猜测。早期的模拟选秀将蓝色巨人与俄亥俄州立大学天才安全卫卡莱布·唐斯联系起来。当被问及在第一轮选秀中选择他时，新任主教练约翰·哈博甚至称他为名人堂的潜在成员。

然而，虽然教练是唐斯的粉丝，但他的愿望清单上似乎有另一位球员。据 ESPN 的乔丹·拉南 (Jordan Raanan) 报道，“哈博教练和巨人队对杰里米·洛夫 (Jeremiyah Love) 的评价特别高。如果他可以上场，他们就很难错过这个机会。”

纽约巨人队更愿意在第一轮交易回来

此前有报道称，尽管拥有卡姆·斯卡特博，巨人队高层还是对这位圣母院跑卫和海斯曼杯决赛入围者非常感兴趣。对于纽约来说不幸的是，他很可能会在第四位被田纳西泰坦队夺走。那么，如果他不再可用，他们该怎么办？

据巨人队内部人士透露，唐斯和他的俄勒冈州立大学队友桑尼·斯泰尔斯是“最受他们关注”的第五顺位球员。然而，哈博和管理层并不认为选择五人中的任何一个都是“理想”的情况。

“在理想的情况下，巨人队希望后移几个位置，增加更多选秀权（他们在前 100 名中只有两个），并选拔像凯莱布·唐斯这样的球员。但这说起来容易做起来难，”Raanan 报道。

在不到一周的时间里，巨人队球迷将了解球队在 2026 年 NFL 选秀中的第 5 号选秀权的走向。

波士頓塞爾提克隊和費城 76 人隊將在今年春天的 NBA 季後賽中重燃戰火，對於長期的籃球迷來說，這是一場熟悉且安全的賽事。泰斯是波士頓和費城在 NBA 季後賽中第 23 次交鋒，凱爾特人隊在系列賽中以 15-7 佔據決定性優勢。自1982年以來，76人隊就沒有在季後賽中擊敗過凱爾特人隊，凱爾特人隊在過去的六場比賽中都取得了勝利。

這標誌著球隊之間的第 23 次季後賽系列賽 @凱爾特人隊 和 @六人組 ——NBA史上最頻繁的對決。

— NBA 通訊 (@NBAPR) 2026 年 4 月 16 日

這已經是歷史了，目前的比賽應該再次朝著凱爾特人隊的方向發展。波士頓本賽季應該是一支必須摸索的球隊，因為它不能在本賽季的大部分時間裡依賴超級巨星傑森·塔圖姆。然而，傑倫布朗挺身而出，讓自己成為了合法的MVP候選人，他帶領凱爾特人隊（56勝26負）成為東部聯盟第二號種子，落後於底特律活塞隊。

76人隊本季表現相對平庸，他們以45勝37負的戰績作為七號種子進入入圍賽。毫無疑問，76人隊在泰瑞斯馬克西和喬爾恩比德的帶領下擁有天賦，但在持續執行和比賽危急時刻的表現方面卻有所欠缺。

塞爾提克隊毫無幹擾地進入季後賽

塞爾提克帶著救贖進入今年的季後賽。兩年前，塞爾提克隊以五場勝利擊敗達拉斯小牛隊奪得NBA總冠軍，一年前，塞爾提克隊卻在季後賽第二輪慘敗給紐約尼克隊。

塔圖姆在該系列賽的第四場比賽中跟腱撕裂，這次受傷導致了他們的垮台，但在受傷之前，凱爾特人隊在第一場和第二場比賽中經歷了兩次殘酷的主場崩潰。塞爾提克不會讓這種損失再次發生，而76人隊將是第一支感受到這種影響的球隊。預計塞爾提克隊將在系列賽前兩場主場比賽中以兩場一邊倒的勝利為系列賽定下基調。

布朗似乎將在塔圖姆不在的情況下帶領凱爾特人隊的挑戰視為個人責任。考慮一下該任務已從清單中劃掉。布朗顯然是一個出色的身體樣本，力量和力量是他最明顯的資產。然而，他的比賽還有更多的東西，他的中遠距離投籃能力常常給主教練喬·馬祖拉的球隊帶來巨大的改變。

布朗在例行賽中場均得到28.7分、6.9個籃板和令人有些驚訝的5.1次助攻。塔圖姆復出打了16場例行賽，場均貢獻21.8分和10.0個籃板。他在復出的前十場比賽中摸索著，但在最後幾場比賽中他恢復了接近最佳狀態。

德里克懷特也是全明星球員，雖然他沒有像布朗或塔圖姆那樣的形象，但當比賽危在旦夕時，他是個改變者。

配角陣容再次表現出色。佩頓·普理查德是聯盟中最被低估的球員之一，他的得分能力和製造失誤的能力。中鋒尼米亞斯·奎塔可能是聯盟中進步最快的球員。賽季中期引進的尼古拉·武切維奇（Nikola Vucevic）可以成為關鍵貢獻者，他可以接替前凱爾特人艾爾·霍福德（Al Horford）曾經扮演的高效角色。

雖然個人天賦水平很高，但凱爾特人隊每晚都會發揮團隊籃球的理念，這將在這個系列賽中提供優勢。

76人隊在對陣魔術隊的比賽中表現出色

76人隊在例行賽的表現並不穩定，他們的比賽時好時壞。他們在入圍賽中以 109-97 擊敗魔術隊，非常接近最佳狀態，馬克西拿下 31 分，新秀 VJ Edgecombe 得到 19 分和 11 個籃板。

恩比德正在從緊急闌尾切除術中恢復，當系列賽轉移到費城進行第三場比賽時，他似乎更有可能參加比賽。

如果76人隊在主場時的系列賽戰績是0-2，那麼主教練尼克·納斯顯然應該讓他的球員做好打出最好比賽的準備。這可能足以也可能不足以擊敗凱爾特人隊。

他們當然應該有一些高潮，讓他們在比賽中的幾個時刻取得領先，但凱爾特人隊是一群老將，他們在季後賽中取得了成功。第三場比賽將進行到最後五分鐘，這可能是一場最後一投獲勝的比賽。

這意味著76人隊可能會在第3場比賽中獲勝。如果他們成功，凱爾特人隊將在第4場比賽中一心一意並在那場比賽中懲罰76人隊。如果塞爾提克贏下第三場比賽，這個系列賽的強度就會消失。波士頓可能會在接下來的第四場比賽中放鬆，讓76人隊取得勝利，然後回到波士頓並結束系列賽。

塞爾提克隊是一支更好、更有經驗、更有決心的球隊。他們以5場擊敗76人隊的方式開啟了2026年的季後賽之旅。

新阿森納細分

這一切都始於快球，它在大學裡經歷了相當大的轉變。隨著雷德曼不斷充實自己的身體，他的速度在每個賽季都有所提高。作為一年級新生，雷德曼在加熱器上的平均時速為 91.7 英里/小時，而在大二時，雷德曼的平均時速為 92.8 英里/小時。然而，他搬到加州大學洛杉磯分校後，他的速度顯著提高，目前他的平均速度為 95 英里/小時。繼早春時速達到 97 英里/小時後，他現在已達到 99 英里/小時。

速度上升並不是唯一的因素。雷德曼看到了形狀的變化，釋放了更多的揮桿和失誤。 2025 年，他的快球更加通用，不一致的形狀削弱了它的真正價值。他用它作為他的副手的準備球場，我們稍後會討論。

然而，到了 2026 年，雷德曼用一些水平動作換成了更多的垂直運球。他的快球 IVB（誘發垂直突破）比他 2025 年的指標高出一英寸半（約 17.1 英寸），並且他的水平運動也降低了一英寸多一點。他在快球上的切球/騎行動作更加一致，這使得球場的活力飛速增長。透過頂部導軌上的命令添加更平坦的接近角，成功的秘訣就在那裡。他的嗅覺率現在為 29%，這個數字比一年前增加了一倍以上。他的追擊率也接近 35%。

當然，隨著雷德曼向職業球的過渡，他需要進一步調整大學球和小聯盟球之間的差異。我與一些行業消息人士就此進行了交談，雷德曼可能需要在下一個級別將他的快球分成兩種不同的形狀（四縫線和兩縫/墜子）。

然而，不管未來會發生什麼，雷德曼已經將他的快球從邊緣平均水平轉變為平均水平，並將其轉變為合法的高於平均水平的產品。雖然這是他爬上董事會的最大原因，但他新整合的刀具也不甘落後。

一年前，雷德曼投出了更傳統的 80 年代中低端滑球後，雷德曼引入了 80 年代上半段更硬的切球作為他的主要破球，結果非常穩定。在下一個級別，它需要更多的深度和咬合力，但它對右手擊球手來說效果很好，而且他能夠將其分區以對抗左手球棒以偷襲。

為了配合切球，雷德曼為他的曲球增加了一些力量。去年春天的溫度為 70 多歲，現在通常為 80 多歲。它的目的保持不變，而且都是他武器庫中的第三種產品，但命令讓它脫穎而出。他最近也推出了一款 80 年代的清掃器。這給了他另一個有前途的產品，​​因為清掃機平均橫向動作超過十英寸。

不過，變速仍然是他的麵包和奶油。雖然形狀本身並不是異常值，但隧道能力和命令使其發揮作用。這是一個真正高於平均水平的產品，與快球的速度分離極佳（約 10 MPH 的差異），而且他非常輕鬆地投擲球 坎比奧 在任何針對任何擊球手的計數中。

With Danhausen becoming one of WWE’s more popular talents, a new rumor suggests the company has some big plans for him at WrestleMania 42 this weekend.

The former AEW wrestler’s debut at Elimination Chamber in February did not go as well as expected, as he received a lukewarm reception from WWE fans in Chicago. However, this may have been a good thing as it lowered expectations. Since that moment, the unique comic character has quickly endeared himself to disaffected fans.

Now, the man known for cursing his enemies is quite excited for his first WrestleMania. Although he does not have an official match on the card, there has been much speculation on how he may be used during the two-night event.

Will Danhausen meet John Cena at WrestleMania?

On Friday, we got some new information about WWE’s Danhausen plans for this weekend via BodySlam+. According to the outlet, the wrestling version of Dracula won’t just make a one-time appearance during WrestleMania. In fact, the company is planning for them to have multiple segments over the course of two nights.

Yet that was not the most interesting part of the intelligence. BodySlam+ also reports that one of those segments will see Danhausen face off against WWE GOAT John Cena, who will host both nights of WrestleMania 42.

While no one had Danhausen and Cena in the ring on their bingo card following their retirement in December, they could have finally delivered one of the most memorable moments of WrestleMania 42.

随着丹豪森迅速成为 WWE 最受欢迎的人才之一，有新的传言表明该公司在本周末的摔角狂热 42 上为他制定了一些重大计划。

这位前 AEW 摔跤手二月份在密室铁笼铁笼淘汰赛中的首次亮相并没有达到预期的效果，因为他在芝加哥受到了 WWE 粉丝的冷遇。然而，这可能是一件好事，因为它降低了期望。从那时起，这个独特的喜剧角色很快就赢得了不为人知的粉丝的喜爱。

现在，这位以咒骂敌人而闻名的男人有很大的动力进入他的第一次摔跤狂热。虽然他没有参加正式比赛，但人们对他在为期两晚的比赛中如何发挥作用有很多猜测。

丹豪森将在摔跤狂热大赛上见到约翰·塞纳？

周五，我们通过 BodySlam+ 获得了 WWE 丹豪森本周末计划的一些新细节。据该媒体报道，摔跤版的德古拉在摔跤狂热大赛期间不会只出现一次。事实上，公司计划让他在这两个晚上参与多个片段。

但这还不是最有趣的情报。 BodySlam+ 还报道称，其中一个环节是丹豪森将与 WWE 山羊约翰·塞纳 (John Cena) 面对面，后者将主持 WrestleMania 42 的两晚。

虽然丹豪森和塞纳在 12 月退役后没有人在他们的宾果卡上一起出现在擂台上，但他们最终可能会带来摔角狂热 42 最令人难忘的时刻之一。

Nearly six months after pleading not guilty, former NBA player and coach Damon Jones is poised to become the first defendant to plead guilty in a sweeping federal gambling investigation that has shaken fan confidence in the league.

A change of plea hearing for Jones in the sports betting case is scheduled for April 28 in Brooklyn federal court, according to a court filing Thursday. Prosecutors have until the end of next week to file statements on the exact charges he will plead guilty to.

In short, things are about to heat up. His attorney confirmed the change but emphasized that Jones is not cooperating with authorities. Which is a strange admission.

Jones initially pleaded not guilty in November 2025 to wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charges in connection with an alleged scheme to provide sports bettors with non-public injury and availability information on NBA stars – specifically LeBron James and Anthony Davis – while he had privileged access to the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2022–23 season.

Former NBA player and assistant coach Damon Jones is expected to become the first person to plead guilty in a gambling scandal that led to the arrest of more than 30 people, including reputed mobsters and other basketball personalities. https://t.co/Z2zY5QCuZm

– ESPN (@espn) 16 April 2026

Interestingly, Jones’ change in plea comes just months after the league launched an independent investigation in which officials requested cell phones and documents from multiple teams. Among those receiving the request were Lakers employees Mike Mancias (LeBron James’ longtime assistant coach) and Randy Mims (executive administrator and another James associate), who voluntarily surrendered their phones and records.

It is important to note that James is not believed to be involved in any way. Mancias and Mims were reportedly under investigation for their relationship with Jones.

Jones allegedly sent a text message to a co-conspirator before the Lakers-Bucks game in Milwaukee on February 9, 2023. At the time, James was not yet listed on the official injury report.

“Bet big on Milwaukee tonight before info comes out,” he reportedly wrote.

James ultimately exited the contest with a lower body injury and the Lakers lost 115–106.

Jones is also alleged to have been paid $2,500 for a tip on Davis in January 2024, which suggests the Lakers star will have limited playing time against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to injury. The lead was denied, Davis played normal minutes and was effective enough to lead Los Angeles to a 112–105 win. The sports bettor who paid Jones for the tip and then placed a $100,000 bet on the Lakers was not happy.

From LeBron’s trusted shooting partner to federal guilty plea: The shocking fall of Damon Jones

According to ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst, Jones and James’ history stretches back to the mid-2000s. They were teammates on the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2005 to 2008. After Jones’ playing career ended, the two maintained an on-and-off friendship. Jones later worked informally as a shooting consultant for James, including during the Cavs’ 2016 championship run under Tyronn Lue.

That bond gave Jones unusual access after years with the Lakers. The fact that he would betray a team that trusted him and befriended LeBron to sell insider betting tips is astonishing.

James and Jones had already fallen out of touch by the time charges were filed following an alleged altercation.

Jones faces a separate but related indictment involving alleged participation in a Mafia-linked, rigged poker game that defrauded high-rollers out of millions. Yes, that is correct. The mafia reportedly had a hold on NBA players. He also pleaded not guilty to those charges in November.

The sweeping investigation, which led to more than 30 arrests, has also ensnared people like Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups.

Jones’ expected guilty plea marks a significant development in the case. He would be the first person to plead guilty in this high-profile gambling scandal, potentially opening the door to sentencing negotiations for other players mentioned.

在不认罪近六个月后，前 NBA 球员兼教练达蒙·琼斯 (Damon Jones) 即将成为第一个在一项庞大的联邦赌博调查中翻转的被告，该调查动摇了球迷对联盟的信任。

根据周四提交的法庭文件，琼斯在体育博彩案中的认罪变更听证会定于 4 月 28 日在布鲁克林联邦法院举行。检察官必须在下周末之前提交他将承认的具体指控的详细信息。

简而言之，事情即将升温。他的律师证实了这一转变，但强调琼斯没有与当局合作。这是一个奇怪的承认。

琼斯最初于 2025 年 11 月对电汇欺诈串谋和洗钱指控表示不认罪，该指控涉嫌向体育博彩玩家提供 NBA 球星（最著名的是勒布朗·詹姆斯和安东尼·戴维斯）的非公开伤病和上场信息，而他在 2022-23 赛季期间有权进入洛杉矶湖人队。

前 NBA 球员兼助理教练达蒙·琼斯 (Damon Jones) 预计将成为在赌博扫荡中认罪的第一人，该扫荡导致 30 多人被捕，其中包括知名黑帮和其他篮球人物。 https://t.co/Z2zY5QCuZm

— ESPN (@espn) 2026 年 4 月 16 日

有趣的是，琼斯改变认罪的几个月前，联盟发起了一项独立调查，官员们要求多支球队提供手机和文件。收到请求的人包括湖人队工作人员迈克·曼西亚斯（勒布朗·詹姆斯的长期助理教练）和兰迪·米姆斯（执行管理员和另一位詹姆斯的同事），他们自愿交出手机和记录。

值得注意的是，詹姆斯不被认为以任何方式参与其中。据报道，曼西亚斯和米姆斯因与琼斯的关系而受到密切关注。

据称，琼斯于 2023 年 2 月 9 日在密尔沃基举行的湖人队与雄鹿队比赛前向同谋发送了一条短信。当时，詹姆斯尚未出现在官方伤病报告中。

据称，他写道：“今晚在信息公布之前，在密尔沃基进行大赌注。”

詹姆斯最终因下半身受伤缺席比赛，湖人队以115-106落败。

据称，琼斯还因 2024 年 1 月有关戴维斯的举报而获得了 2,500 美元的报酬，这表明这位湖人球星因伤在对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的比赛中上场时间有限。这个提示并没有成功，戴维斯发挥正常的上场时间，并相当有效地带领洛杉矶队以 112-105 获胜。这位体育博彩玩家向琼斯支付了小费，然后在湖人队上下了 10 万美元的赌注，他对此并不满意。

从勒布朗值得信赖的投篮伙伴到联邦认罪：达蒙·琼斯的令人震惊的倒下

据 ESPN NBA 内部人士布莱恩·温德霍斯特 (Brian Windhorst) 报道，琼斯和詹姆斯的历史可以追溯到 2000 年代中期。 2005年至2008年，他们是克利夫兰骑士队的队友。琼斯的职业生涯结束后，两人仍保持着断断续续的友谊。琼斯后来非正式地担任詹姆斯的投篮顾问，包括在泰伦·卢带领下骑士队夺得 2016 年冠军期间。

几年后，这种联系让琼斯在湖人队获得了不同寻常的机会。他可能背叛了信任他的球队以及与勒布朗的友谊来兜售内幕投注技巧，这一事实令人震惊。

据报道，詹姆斯和琼斯发生争吵后，在提出指控时，詹姆斯和琼斯已经失去联系。

琼斯面临另一项单独但相关的起诉，涉及涉嫌参与与黑手党有关的、被操纵的扑克游戏，诈骗豪赌客数百万美元。是的，这是正确的。据称，黑手党对 NBA 球员产生了浓厚的兴趣。 11 月份他也对这些指控表示无罪。

这项更广泛的调查导致 30 多人被捕，还逮捕了迈阿密热火队后卫特里·罗齐尔和波特兰开拓者队主教练昌西·比卢普斯等人物。

琼斯的预期认罪标志着该案的重大进展。他将成为这一备受瞩目的赌博丑闻中第一个认罪的人，这可能为上述其他球员的量刑谈判打开大门。

在投球時，雙城隊的挑戰數 (30) 或贏得的挑戰數 (20) 並不是第一，而是第二。他們的成功率排名第 12（67%）。他們的 2.2 運行值再次遙遙領先。皇家隊的得分為 1.6，位居第二。

雙胞胎顯然有一個 ABS 策略，到目前為止，它運作得很好。管理層、教練團、分析人員或任何 ABS 策略的設計者都需要他們的鮮花。雙城隊從容地接受了這一規則變化，並找到了一種方法來最大化它並找到競爭優勢。

在如此小的樣本中，尚不清楚這對球隊的火熱開局起到了多大作用。然而，經過一個完整的賽季，我們就會清楚雙胞胎的 ABS 成功對他們整體成功的影響有多大。

雙子座還能撐下去嗎？

雖然這可能是一種逃避，賽季才進行了 19 場比賽，但這個問題的答案可能是一個很大的問題。雙城隊會保持94勝的節奏嗎？大多數人可能會告訴你不，即使是最樂觀的雙胞胎粉絲。他們能否以86-90獲勝並進入季後賽？或許。

即使在如此火熱的啟動之後，FanGraphs 仍然不買單。目前雙城隊的季後賽賠率僅為 44.3%。這比賽季開始前高很多，但仍低於 50%。

當然有令人擔憂的理由，但也有樂觀的理由。像奧斯汀馬丁這樣的球員在 2025 年的表現非常紮實，這是我們保持樂觀的一個很好的理由。瑞安·杰弗斯， 喬許貝爾， 和 泰姬·布拉德利 看起來最好的自己是相信這支球隊的一個很好的理由。

低於標準的牛棚是令人擔憂的一個很好的理由。關鍵投手和深度選擇的受傷更令人擔憂。

最終，現在下結論還為時過早。然而，如果雙城隊繼續保持這種勢頭，他們可以贏回許多因老闆缺乏支持而退出球隊的球迷。

We’re just days away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and there’s a lot of excitement surrounding how the New York Giants will run the draft under head coach John Harbaugh.

The 63-year-old head coach would like to acquire players who fit his ideology and who can eventually become leaders of the team. Giants have seven draft picks, but only two in the top 100 (5)^th and 37^th Overall), making it even more important that they stick with their first two choices.

For months, there has been widespread speculation as to what the team would do with the fifth overall selection, but we’ll take a look at five options for them with Big Blue’s selection in Round 2.

Kaden McDonald DT, Ohio State

whether or not team trade Dexter Lawrence, at some point, they will have to address the interior defensive line. One player who would be ideal to replace or play alongside Lawrence is Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald.

The 6’2, 326-pound defensive lineman had a stellar junior season in 2025, where he started all 14 games and made 65 tackles, nine tackles for loss, three sacks, and was named a unanimous All-American.

He uses his strength and leverage to create obstacles between opposing offensive lines, allowing him or one of his teammates to make a play. He shows speed and a good change of direction, which allows him to play behind the line of scrimmage.

Chris JohnsonCB, San Diego State

After losing starting corner Kor’Dale Flote in free agency, the team will look to add a corner at some point in the draft, and if Chris Johnson is still on the board at pick 37, he could be the newest addition to the team.

After recording only two interceptions in his first three seasons at San Diego State, Johnson had a breakout year as a senior, coming up with four interceptions and returning two of them for touchdowns. He also had 49 tackles, was credited with nine pass defenses, had one sack and one forced fumble.

The six-foot, 193-pound versatile corner has the footwork and ability to play outside and in the slot. He is also a vicious tackler and will be a great addition to defensive coordinator Denard Wilson’s unit.

Chase Bisontis G, Texas A&M

One area of ​​concern on the Giants roster is the interior offensive line. That’s why Texas A&M guard Chase Bissontis is a viable option in the second round. The versatile offensive lineman played both the guard position as well as right tackle during his three years at Texas A&M.

The 6’5 315 pound lineman has a ton of experience, having appeared in 36 games, which is a quality New York always looks for. He showed his athletic ability when he ran a 5.02 40 time. He is equipped with all the tools to provide immediate protection, such as strength, tenacity and solid footwork.

He is one of the best interior offensive linemen in this draft, and if New York can get him at age 37, he could be one of the best players in the draft.

CJ Allen LB, Georgia

Some believe that CJ Allen is the second-best off-the-ball linebacker in this draft behind Sonny Styles, and with good reason, as he was named a First-Team All-American in 2025 after recording 88 tackles.

In his three years at Georgia, he had 205 tackles, 13½ tackles for loss, four½ sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception. Not only can he make tackles all over the field, but he hides his attacks well and should be able to produce a handful of sacks a season.

If Big Blue takes Styles in the first round, Allen should be at the top of their board in the second round.

Keelan Rutledge, Georgia Tech

Another offensive guard who may be on New York’s radar is Georgia Tech’s Kylan Rutledge. Rutledge spent his first two seasons with Middle Tennessee State before coming to Georgia Tech in 2024.

He appeared in a total of 48 games and started 43 of them, allowing only two sacks, and was named a Third-Team All-American in 2025. In his final season, he had 440 pass blocking snaps and did not allow a sack.

The 6’3, 316 pound guard has built a reputation as a mauler, but is also athletic and runs a 5.05, and is capable of reaching the second level in run blocking in the combo block concept. If New York takes him with 37^th Overall, he will be one of the starting guards in Week 1.

距离 2026 年 NFL 选秀只剩几天了，纽约巨人队将如何在主教练约翰·哈博 (John Harbaugh) 的带领下运作选秀，令人兴奋不已。

这位 63 岁的主教练将寻求收购符合他的理念并且能够成为球队最终领袖的球员。巨人队有 7 个选秀权，但只有 2 个进入前 100 名（5^th 和 37^th 总体而言），这使得他们更加迫切地选择前两个选秀权。

几个月来，人们普遍猜测球队将如何处理第五顺位选秀权，但我们将看看蓝色巨人在第二轮选秀权的五个选择。

凯登·麦克唐纳 DT，俄亥俄州立大学

无论是否 团队交易 德克斯特·劳伦斯，在某些时候，他们将不得不解决内线防守问题。 俄亥俄州立大学防守截锋凯登·麦克唐纳（Kayden McDonald）是取代劳伦斯或与他并肩作战的理想球员。

这位身高 6 英尺 2 英寸、体重 326 磅的防守锋线球员在 2025 年少年赛季表现出色，他在全部 14 场比赛中首发，完成 65 次铲断，9 次铲断失败，3 次擒杀，并被全票评为全美最佳阵容。

他利用自己的力量和影响力扰乱对方进攻线的中间，这使他或他的队友之一能够发挥作用。他表现出敏捷性和良好的变向能力，这使他能够在混战线后发挥作用。

克里斯·约翰逊 CB，圣地亚哥州立大学

在失去自由球员首发角球科戴尔·弗洛特后，球队将寻求在选秀中的某个时刻增加一个角球，如果克里斯·约翰逊仍在第 37 顺位上，他可能会成为球队的最新成员。

在圣地亚哥州立大学的前三个赛季中，约翰逊只完成了两次拦截，但他在高四赛季取得了突破，完成了四次拦截，其中两次达阵。他还完成了 49 次铲球、9 次传球防守、1 次擒杀和 1 次用力掉球。

这位身高 6 英尺、体重 193 磅的多才多艺的角卫拥有在外线和内线打球的能力和步法。他也是一名凶狠的截球手，对于防守协调员丹纳德·威尔逊的球队来说是一个很好的补充。

Chase Bisontis G，德克萨斯农工大学

巨人队阵容中值得关注的领域之一是内线进攻线。这就是为什么德克萨斯农工大学后卫蔡斯·比森蒂斯是第二轮的可行选择。这位多才多艺的进攻锋线球员在德克萨斯农工大学的三年里，既担任过后卫，也担任过右截锋。

这位身高 6 英尺 5 英寸、体重 315 磅的边锋拥有丰富的经验，参加过 36 场比赛，这是纽约一直在寻找的品质。当他40次跑出5.02时，他展现了自己的运动能力。他具备成为后卫的所有条件，比如力量、韧性和扎实的脚步。

他是本次选秀中最好的内线进攻锋线球员之一，如果纽约能够在 37 岁的时候得到他，他可能会成为选秀中的抢断之一。

CJ Allen LB，佐治亚州

有些人认为 CJ 艾伦是本次选秀中第二好的无球线卫，仅次于桑尼·斯泰尔斯，这是有充分理由的，因为他在 88 次铲球后被评为 2025 年全美最佳阵容第一队。

在佐治亚大学的三年里，他完成了 205 次铲球、13.5 次铲球失败、四次半擒杀、两次强行掉球和一次拦截。他不仅能在场上完成铲球，还能很好地掩饰自己的闪电战，一个赛季应该能够完成几次擒杀。

如果蓝色巨人在第一轮中放弃斯泰尔斯，艾伦应该在第二轮中成为他们的榜首。

Keylan Rutledge G，佐治亚理工学院

另一位可能受到纽约关注的进攻后卫是佐治亚理工学院的凯兰·拉特利奇。拉特利奇在中田纳西州立大学度过了他的前两个赛季，然后于 2024 年加盟佐治亚理工学院。

他总共参加了 48 场比赛，其中首发 43 场，只被擒杀两次，并入选 2025 年全美最佳阵容第三队。在他的最后一个赛季，他有 440 次阻挡传球并且没有被擒杀

这位身高 6 英尺 3 英寸、体重 316 磅的后卫已经赢得了“重击手”的声誉，但他也很有运动能力，跑动速度为 5.05，并且能够在组合阻挡概念中达到第二级别的跑动阻挡。如果纽约选择他 37^th 状元秀，他将成为第一周的首发后卫之一。

伯恩茅斯亚足联 已经确认安多尼·伊劳拉将在本赛季结束后离开英超球队。

西班牙人于 2023 年 7 月抵达活力体育场，并在他的第一个赛季带领樱桃队获得第 12 名。

伯恩茅斯在接下来的赛季获得第九名，目前在积分榜上排名第 11 位，落后第六名的切尔西 3 分。

简而言之，伊劳拉可以在结束他的三年任期之前帮助英格兰俱乐部获得欧洲资格。

这位 43 岁的人的未来计划尚未公开，但他不会缺少选择。

他正在竞选水晶宫接替奥利弗·格拉斯纳的职位。本周早些时候，《体育见证》 来自西班牙的承保索赔 老鹰队正在提供丰厚的薪水来诱惑他。

勒沃库森与伯恩茅斯主帅混合

周五版的 图片报 看看勒沃库森对 Cherries 经理安多尼·伊劳拉 (Andoni Iraola) 的兴趣。

哈维·阿隆索于 2025 年辞去德甲球队职务，加盟皇家马德里。埃里克·十·哈格接替了阿隆索，并在三场比赛后被解雇。

卡斯帕·胡尔曼德取代了荷兰人，但由于球队在他的命令下停滞不前，因此不太可能在本赛季结束后继续执教。

因此，德国俱乐部正在寻找一位主教练，并拥有三名现实的候选人来取代丹麦人。

亚足联伯恩茅斯主帅就是其中之一。另外两人是水晶宫主帅奥利弗·格拉斯纳和布莱顿霍夫主帅法比安·许泽勒。

《图片报》首先提到了伊劳拉，并解释了为什么勒沃库森对任命他心存疑虑。

德甲球队的老板认为西班牙人在伯恩茅斯和巴列卡诺所采用的比赛风格不适合他们的“进攻和控球方式”。

樱桃本赛季剩余赛程

上周末伯恩茅斯以 2-1 战胜阿森纳后，安多尼·伊拉奥拉希望能够以优异的成绩结束自己的职业生涯。

他的球队本赛季还剩下六场比赛。

金州勇士隊和菲尼克斯太陽隊將於週五在抵押貸款對決中心舉行的入圍賽中展開一場生死攸關的比賽，為生存而戰。

勇士隊週三逆轉戰勝洛杉磯快艇隊，讓他們有機會再次獲得西部季後賽最後一個席位。

克里斯塔普斯·波爾津吉斯在金州勇士對洛杉磯的比賽中登場。但問題是，他能對抗菲尼克斯嗎？

克里斯塔普斯·波爾津吉斯對陣太陽隊的傷病狀況

根據NBA的傷病報告，波爾津吉斯因腳踝受傷而在對陣太陽隊的比賽中出戰成疑。

這位經常受傷的中鋒在對陣快艇隊的下半場比賽中保持了狀態。雖然他能夠完成比賽，但顯然他步履蹣跚。

全場12投8中，得到20分、5籃板、5助攻和2阻攻。他與史蒂芬·庫里和艾爾·霍福德一起在三分線外命中關鍵球，在第四節勇士隊的火熱進攻中發揮了重要作用。

當波爾津吉斯在場時，勇士隊是一支不同的野獸，為球隊提供了進攻上的另一個致命武器，同時也在另一端充當了籃框保護者。

甚至在季後賽之前，柯瑞就強調，30 歲的波爾津吉斯憑藉他的身材和多才多藝，可能會成為金州勇士隊的比賽規則改變者。

如果他不能適應太陽隊的比賽，霍福德、德雷蒙德·格林和吉·桑托斯將需要額外的努力。幸運的是，太陽隊沒有令人印象深刻的前線。

勇士傷病報告

克里斯塔普斯·波爾津吉斯－有問題（右腳踝酸痛）
吉米巴特勒 – 缺陣（ACL 手術）
摩西·穆迪 – 出局（左髕腱手術）
Quinten Post – 出局（右腳管理）

太陽隊傷病報告

格雷森艾倫－有問題（左腿筋拉傷）
馬克威廉斯－有問題（左腳酸痛）

newcastle unitedOdysseas Vlachodimos is waiting for developments to decide on his future.

Last summer, the Premier League team let the goalkeeper join Sevilla on loan and he has enjoyed regular minutes.

The Newcastle United player’s performances have convinced the La Liga side to extend his stay.

Last month, Seville Sports director Antonio Cordon said The 31-year-old aims to continue beyond this season.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain Eddie Howe’s side want €10 million, which is considered excessive for the Andalusian club.

What the Newcastle United man wants

Sports stadium Now Antonio Cordon again hints at Odysseus Vlachodimos’ desire to stay. For Sevilla, ‘the circumstances are not ideal’ as there is no purchase option or obligation as part of the loan deal.

Sevilla are happy with the Greece international and are prioritizing extending his stay. His agent has already traveled to Spain to hold talks with the La Liga side, but the stopper will not make a final decision on his future until the end of this season.

Estadio have information from sources close to the operation that the Magpies-owned player is ‘clear about his priorities’.

He wants to find out where the Spanish club will play next season. They will finish the season in 15th place, two points above the relegation zone.

If Sevilla remain in the top tier, he will ‘initiate more direct discussions’ with Newcastle United over a move forward.

The player is now ‘at the mercy’ of the Premier League side, who have to make a decision on his future.

Meanwhile, Sevilla are already considering other options in the market. On Thursday, Sports Witness broadcast news They are considering signing Liverpool youngster Armin Peixi.

Our view: Seville remains complicated

The Andalusian club’s financial situation is unlikely to improve until there is an ownership change.

If this does not happen, the chances of Odysseas Vlachodimos joining them permanently are very slim as Sevilla will not be able to meet Newcastle United’s request.

The only possibility is if the stopper remains adamant that he wants to extend his stay in Spain. If not, it remains a complicated operation for Sevilla despite staying in La Liga.

纽卡斯尔联奥德赛·弗拉霍迪莫斯 (Odysseas Vlachodimos) 正在等待事态发展，以便对他的未来做出决定。

去年夏天，英超球队将这名门将租借加盟塞维利亚，他也享受了常规的上场时间。

纽卡斯尔联队球员的表现说服了西甲球队延长他的逗留时间。

上个月，塞维利亚 体育总监安东尼奥·科尔登说 这位31岁的球员打算在本赛季结束后继续踢球。

本月早些时候，《体育见证》 来自西班牙的承保索赔 埃迪·豪的球队想要 1000 万欧元，这对于安达卢西亚俱乐部来说被认为过高。

纽卡斯尔联队球员想要什么

体育场 现在，安东尼奥·科尔登再次指出，奥德赛·弗拉霍迪莫斯希望留下来。对于塞维利亚来说，“情况并不理想”，因为贷款交易中没有购买选择权或义务。

塞维利亚对这位希腊国脚很满意，他优先考虑延长他的逗留时间。他的经纪人已经前往西班牙与西甲球队进行谈判，但这位门将要到本赛季结束后才会对他的未来做出最终决定。

接近该行动的消息人士向埃斯塔迪奥透露，喜鹊拥有的球员“清楚自己的优先事项”。

他想知道西班牙俱乐部下赛季在哪里踢球。他们比降级区高出两分，排名第15位，本赛季结束。

如果塞维利亚继续留在顶级联赛，他将与纽卡斯尔联队“开始更直接的讨论”以推动转会。

这名球员现在“受制于”英超球队，他们必须对他的未来做出决定。

与此同时，塞维利亚已经在寻找市场上的其他选择。周四，《体育见证》 转播新闻 他们正在考虑签下利物浦年轻球员阿尔明·佩奇。

我们的看法：塞维利亚仍然很复杂

在所有权发生变化之前，安达卢西亚俱乐部的财务状况不太可能改善。

如果这种情况没有发生，奥德赛·弗拉霍迪莫斯永久加入他们的可能性仍然很小，因为塞维利亚将无法满足纽卡斯尔联队的要求。

唯一的可能性是，如果这位门将仍然坚定地表示他想延长在西班牙的停留时间。如果不是，即使留在西甲，这对塞维利亚来说仍然是一个复杂的操作。

伯恩茅斯亞足聯確認安多尼·伊勞拉將在本賽季結束後離開英超球隊。

西班牙人於 2023 年 7 月抵達活力體育場，並在他的第一個賽季帶領櫻桃隊獲得第 12 名。

伯恩茅斯在接下來的賽季獲得第九名，目前在積分榜上排名第 11 位，落後第六名的切爾西 3 分。

簡而言之，伊勞拉可以在結束他的三年任期之前幫助英格蘭俱樂部獲得歐洲資格。

這位 43 歲的人的未來計劃尚未公開，但他不會缺少選擇。

他正在競選水晶宮接替奧利佛·格拉斯納的職位。本週早些時候，《體育見證》報道了來自西班牙的說法，稱老鷹隊正在提供豐厚的薪水來誘惑他。

勒沃庫森與伯恩茅斯主帥混合

週五版的《圖片報》探討了勒沃庫森對櫻桃隊主教練安多尼·伊勞拉的興趣。

哈維·阿隆索於 2025 年辭去德甲球隊職務，加盟皇家馬德里。埃里克·十·哈格接替了阿隆索，並在三場比賽後被解僱。

卡斯帕·胡爾曼德取代了荷蘭人，但由於球隊在他的命令下停滯不前，因此不太可能在本賽季結束後繼續執教。

因此，德國俱樂部正在尋找一位主教練，並擁有三個現實的候選人來取代丹麥人。

亞足聯伯恩茅斯主帥就是其中之一。另外兩人是水晶宮主帥奧利佛·格拉斯納和布萊頓霍夫主帥法比安·許澤勒。

《圖片報》首先提到了伊勞拉，並解釋了為什麼勒沃庫森對任命他心存疑慮。

德甲球隊的老闆認為西班牙人在伯恩茅斯和巴列卡諾所採用的比賽風格不適合他們的「進攻和控球方式」。

櫻桃本季剩餘賽程

上週末伯恩茅斯以 2-1 擊敗阿森納後，安多尼·伊拉奧拉希望能夠以優異的成績結束他的職業生涯。

他的球隊本賽季還剩下六場比賽。

• 對 紐卡斯爾聯 [away] 4月18日
• 對 利茲聯 [home] 4月22日
• v 水晶宮 [home] 5月2日
• 對富勒姆 [away] 5月9日
• 對 曼城 [home] 待定
• v 諾丁漢森林 [away] 5月24日

當我與常規賽期間日常在球隊周圍的人交談時，我聽到了類似的觀點。 Just Baseball 的海盜節目 Bucco Bantr 的 Scott Moore 重複了許多這樣的讚揚。 「他是俱樂部的核心人物，」摩爾說，「去年我們沒有這樣的人」。

4 月 14 日，海盜隊主教練唐·凱利 (Don Kelly) 做出了一個頗具爭議的決定，即在上壘、洛在本壘打的情況下進行比賽，並選擇與熱門內野手尼克·約克 (Nick Yorke) 替補擊球。雖然這項決定引起了球迷的憤怒，但洛在賽後記者會上對此表示了不滿。

「我的意思是，說實話，我認為這是正確的舉動，」洛在最終失利後說道。 「去掉個人觀點，用棒球思維來看待它。我的意思是，這是上壘，一個出局，投手丘上的左撇子，圍欄裡的左撇子，你會去找一個非常善於觀察左撇子的人，不會三振他們，在三壘上打平。我對此沒有任何問題。”

他後來也重申他支持凱利的決定。對於洛這樣的球員來說，這充分說明了他此時此刻的無私。洛並沒有表現出憤怒，也沒有在很容易的時候讓自己的自負佔上風，而是信任凱利，同時也成功地成為了一名令人振奮的隊友。

如果他做出消極回應，他可能很容易傷害約克的信心，並在俱樂部內部造成某種裂痕。相反，透過他的方法，他能夠提升這位 24 歲的年輕人。

這就是成為好隊友的定義，也是海盜俱樂部多年來一直缺乏的無私精神。

他是一個長期的答案嗎？

儘管他今年在場內和場外的表現都非常出色，但目前擺在洛面前的問題是：“他能成為一個長期的答案嗎？”

在現場，這個問題的答案是肯定的，絕對的。然而，這並不是唯一的問題。
