The pugnacious Warner smacked 36 runs off 32 balls in the Northern Territory Strike League in Darwin as he searches for match practice to gear for his return to top-level cricket early next year.

Young center Rudy Gobert finished with a monster double-double of 20 points and 17 rebounds, and Joe Ingles notched 21 points off the bench....

On face value, the picture appeared to be a patriotic gesture by Westbrook, but Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated later revealed that Thunder players used to use the term “cupcake” to refer to someone who was soft, meaning the post was actually a jab at Kevin Durant, who had recently left the Thunder for the Warriors in free agency. Well, it turns out Durant had the last laugh. MORE: NBA Trade Tracker: Rumors, reported trades...

Cousins has been recovering from a torn left quadriceps muscle, which he suffered in the Warriors’ first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"A lot of coffee, caffeine and sleeping pills," center Andrew Bogut said. The trip, part of the NBA's Global Games, will feature two games against the Los Angeles Lakers. It's also a break from the monotony of training camp, a chance to build camaraderie and, of course, a step in promoting the league's brand. The Warriors land in Beijing on Saturday evening.

No details were mentioned regarding the cause of the delay, which is understandable considering the news is completely unofficial at this point in time. The last time Horizon: Zero Dawn was shown to the public, which was about 6 months ago, only a brief glimpse of gameplay was teased. With the title yet to be shown again in 2016, there are any number of possibilities for a delay into 2016....

All the communication technologies we’ve ever invented–the telephone, movies, the Internet–have eventually been used in the service of lust. Tomorrow’s advanced technologies will be no different. Your husband might be on a business trip 3,000 miles away, but your virtual bodies could still embrace in a virtual bed–and why stop there? Why not, as inventor Ray Kurzweil suggests, rendezvous on a virtual Mediterranean beach or take a sunset stroll along the Seine?...

Once they recovered their wits, sports TV announcers and analysts said Stefon Diggs’ 61-yard catch and run touchdown off a pass by Case Keenum will go down as one of the greatest plays in NFL history, along with stunners such as Terry Bradshaw’s “Immaculate Reception” to Franco Harris in 1972 and Roger Staubach’s original “Hail Mary” to Drew Pearson to beat the Vikings in 1975. PHOTOS: Diggs’ miracle TD, frame by frame They warned that Saints rookie safety Marcus Williams, who inexplicably missed on the Diggs tackle, will unfortunately go down with playoff goats like Bill Buckner of the Red Sox....

When it comes to being a PPV draw, Conor McGregor has a slight edge over the former heavyweight boxing champion of the world. The Irishman has the second-most-successful PPV event under his belt, while Tyson has the fifth highest. Conor McGregor’s 2017 bout against Floyd Mayweather sold an astronomical 4.3 million PPVs. On the flipside, Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield II sold almost 2 million pay-per-views. If we were to compare the top three most selling events of the two, ‘The Notorious One’ is still comfortably ahead with 4....

The alleged mutineers failed, but the Navy only needs evidence of a conspiracy to proceed with a court-martial. If convicted, Shaheed and Moss could each face 10 years in prison, lose all pay and allowances, be busted to the lowest rank and receive dishonorable discharges. Last month the Navy said it was investigating Seaman Danny Roberson, 25, of Marrero, La., also a Muslim. But there was no mention of Roberson last week; one NEWSWEEK source speculates that the third man might have become a witness for the prosecution....

But Washington would have to put Dallas in trouble first. It could have done it Sunday … at home, against Minnesota, against Case Keenum, with the momentum of a stunning win in Seattle the week before. This was where Washington should have taken its first step over the Cowboys while they were down — and the Cowboys were certifiably down. Washington blew it. MORE: Week 10 NFL results, highlights...

Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced an executive order Sunday requiring the state’s light duty fleet to transition to 100-percent zero-emission by 2035.
