The Wizards will be hoping to repeat the magic from their first encounter when they bested the Heat in a 103-100 game-time decision. Leading the charge was none other than Bradley Beal, who has now scored more than 25 points in 17 games, with a game-high 32 points against the Miami Heat. With Russell Westbrook on the sidelines, Deni Avdija and Davis Bertans stepped up and posted 13 and 11 points, respectively....

Master Sargeant Chris Campbell, a member of the U.S. Air Force, was supposed to be stationed at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Ariz. when his wife and two children were invited to watch a video message from him at an Arizona Wildcats basketball game. Instead, as the rest of his family stood at center court watching his message on the video board, Campbell was squirreled away inside the arena waiting to surprise them....

Umesh Yadav’s fiery spell at the Boxing Day Test was reminiscent of his Indian teammate Ishant Sharma’s spells of burst when India toured Down Under four years ago. Sharma has more or less been a regular in the Test team since he famously dismissed then Australia captain Ricky Ponting with a snorter in the Perth Test of 2008. Yadav, much like his senior partner, has attracted attention after foxing Ponting with a a pacy away going delivery on the opening day of the first Test here at the sprawling Melbourne Cricket Ground....

That said, despite all of this uncertainty, Warner Bros. (movie studio and game publisher) is highly motivated to keep Caped Crusader entertainment options coming through the pipeline. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the company recently registered a number of Batman-themed domains that could hint at the next Arkham City title (or, less likely, a new film). The report comes from Fusible who uncovered the domain name registrations - carried out by MarkMonitor an internet brand protection company that Warner Bros....

The Hall of Fame defensive lineman was bitten by a shark while lobstering in the Florida Keys, suffering a pretty sizeable gash on his elbow.

The 49ers would love nothing more than to have an extremely productive game running the ball to help Colin Kaepernick, who is leading just the 23rd passing offense in efficiency. Luckily, they face a defense that’s been the NFL’s worst over the last few weeks, particularly once they lost middle linebacker Jon Beason. The Giants are giving up 5.9 yards per carry in their last four games, and year to date rank 28th in run defense efficiency....

The Warriors star was told by media Thursday he finished behind Kemba Walker and was just shy of making the third team. Thompson was visibly frustrated. “When you go to five straight finals, I respect those guys, but when you go to five straight, it takes more than just a couple All-NBA guys,” he said. “Whatever. I would rather win a championship than win All-NBA.” Teammate Stephen Curry, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook and Walker made the list over Thompson....

Durant has not played since straining his calf in Golden State’s Game 5 win over the Houston Rockets last week and he is still “not close” to returning, according to reports. Golden State guard Curry was asked how the Warriors’ offensive strategy has changed without Durant on the floor ahead of Thursday’s Western Conference final Game 2 against the Portland Trail Blazers. “Without KD, we have to play differently,” Curry told ESPN’s ‘The Jump....

The Warriors brushed aside the Indiana Pacers 112-89 on Thursday, their star quintet all contributing at Oracle Center. DeMarcus Cousins, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Thompson all reached double figures as the Warriors kicked off their three-game home run with a win. Steve Kerr’s side have already booked their place in the postseason, and Thompson says they are focused on going all the way again. “We’re just really locked in for these last regular season games because you don’t want any slip-ups in the playoffs,” he told reporters....

Andre Iguodala has received constant praise for his basketball IQ, but was ejected after he threw the ball deep into the stands just before the half-time buzzer. Nevertheless, the Warriors’ top weapons all came to play. Klay Thompson led the way, scoring 32 points. Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry contributed 25 points apiece. Damian Lillard did all he could to keep Portland competitive. He poured in 40 points in a losing effort....

Aragorn at one point looks as if he is at any moment ready to draw out his sword—prepared to fight Boromir to the death for the sake of all Middle Earth.

Ridley, via Twitter, admitted to betting $1,500 on NFL game action, adding that he didn’t have a gambling problem. If Ridley is reinstated for 2023, he would still earn the $11 million that was due to him by the Falcons this year. There are many reasons to think Ridley’s suspension is unfair. There have been players who have gotten lesser bans for violating the league’s personal conduct policy for more egregious, actual criminal acts....

Graves' is an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid and can cause weakness and fatigue. Kemp missed much of UW’s preseason practice because of his illness after developing some symptoms in July and being diagnosed in September.

Batting first on winning the toss, NCA lost two quick wickets by the 13th over before Sundar and Chatterjee got together for a double-century partnership until the latter holed out at mid-off to present off-spinner Jayant Yadav his only wicket of the day. Earlier, seasoned new ball bowler Joginder Sharma had opener Chirag Khurana (2) caught behind and then paceman Sachin Rana claimed Anirudh B who was caught at mid-wicket as NCA slid to 21 for two....

The overarching structure of the game is straightforward: in order to get help for Arizona, players are tasked with working with a questionable authoritarian figure in capturing his three children.

At the moment, by his own admission, that scenario is unlikely for the Brit.

The 3-time Grand Slam winner has struggled to recover from hip surgery and his comeback to the circuit has not been as smooth as expected....
