Ja Morant's first game against Grizzlies takes painful turn after Trail Blazers star exits originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Ja Morant's first game against the Memphis Grizzlies was always going to attract attention. The former face of the franchise spent seven seasons in Memphis, developed into one of the NBA's most electrifying guards and became one of basketball's most recognizable personalities.
His departure in June marked a significant change for both Morant and the organization that selected him with the second overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Thursday night provided the first opportunity for the two sides to face each other.
Unfortunately for Morant, the reunion did not end the way he hoped. The Portland Trail Blazers guard exited with a left hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of a 124-103 loss to Memphis.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy registered game highs with seven receptions and 73 yards on his seven targets in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why it Matters: Worthy was the No. 1 receiver with Rashee Rice sidelined, and the former University of Texas standout looked the part. He had some big catches, and he quickly earned the trust of Patrick Mahomes. For now, consider him as WR4 or flex fantasy option with some upside, at least until Rice is healthy enough to return.

Florida football routed the Campbell Fighting Camels, 52-3, during Week 2, marking the first time since 2021 that the Gators started the season with a pair of wins. However, despite the lopsided score, there is still work to do for the Orange and Blue.
Following the triumph over their FCS opponent, head coach Jon Sumrall spoke to the press about what he saw out on the field inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. There were things he was proud of — especially Vernell Bown III's performance — but there were also areas that he wants to see the team improve, particularly focusing on personal foul calls and team discipline.
Take a look below at everything Sumrall told the press following Florida's second win of the 2026 campaign.
Appreciate you all being here to cover the game. Happy for our guys to get a win. The goal this week, just like every week, is to be 1-0 at the end of Saturday. We're 1-0 this week, which I'm pleased with.
Some positives. I thought clearly (Vernell Brown III) in the return game came through when it was really clutch with what he did with the ball in his hands on those two punt returns, the third one that we had the penalty on. He did some really nice things in the return game.

Lazio wasted a two-goal lead against Milan, who rallied back in the second half to rescue a draw at the Stadio Olimpico.
Matteo Cancellieri opened the scoring early on, while Tijjani Noslin ensured the Biancocelesti headed to the interval with a deserved two-goal lead. However, the momentum changed after the break, and Diego Moreira's introduction proved decisive. The Belgian scored twice between the 65th and 67th minutes to restore parity.
So, here are our player ratings for Lazio, who temporarily sit at the top of the Serie A table after picking up a solitary point against Milan.
Christos Mandas – 6
A mixed bag from the Greek, who made solid saves to deny Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic in particular, but allowed Moreira's shot to go between his legs on Milan's first goal. His poor distribution repeatedly cost Lazio possession, at times in dangerous areas.

The opening round at the Irish Open delivered a brutal test of patience and precision. Trump International Golf Links & Hotel, Ireland, saw play slowed significantly across the field as strong winds dominated the conditions. Defending champion Rory McIlroy managed to stay in the hunt, carding a 1-under 69 despite a costly double bogey on the 13th hole. While he sits four shots behind the leader, his position remains viable heading into the second day. The defending champion knows the margin for error is slim when the elements turn hostile. He remains tied for 17th place, a spot that offers hope but demands immediate improvement to challenge for the **** le.
According to GolfMagic, Joaquin Niemann seized the early lead with a spectacular 5-under 65. The LIV Golf standout made his move with four consecutive birdies from the 14th to the 17th holes. His drive on the 14th landed a mere three feet from the cup, creating a simple birdie opportunity that propelled his charge. Niemann's sole mistake was a bogey on the 12th following a three-putt. When asked about the experience, he noted, "It was a lot of fun out there."It's a really tricky course and a really fun golf course to play, especially with the Irish weather, he also praised the layout, stating. Despite the pressure of chasing the leader, Niemann capitalized on the scoring opportunities while others struggled.
Rory McIlroy's round told a different story of resilience. His tee shot at the 13th rolled into a bunker, hit the lip, and came back into the sand. His second shot then hit below the lip, skipped out of the sand, and landed on the fairway, yet the damage was done with a double bogey. Playing alongside Brooks Koepka, who shot a 75 after a triple bogey start, McIlroy faced a difficult back nine. Koepka's struggles on the opening hole highlighted how the high grass and wind punished errant shots. Despite his own errors, McIlroy managed to finish under par. "I hung in there, shot under par, and at least don't feel like I'm out of the tournament," he admitted. He added, "A good day tomorrow gets me right back in it."
Shane Lowry provided a local perspective on the day's difficulty. According to ESPN, Lowry finished at 67 and remained bogey-free on the back nine. He was tied with Shaun Norris. Lowry faced the same darkness issues as others, noting, "I honestly didn't think we were going to get finished." That's probably the longest round of golf I ever played, in a three-ball, anyway. I'm happy with my score."I felt like I did a solid job of making pars and trying to get to the clubhouse as quick as I could," he explained his strategy, saying. Meanwhile, Adrian Meronk was at 3 under but unable to finish before darkness fell. Patrick Reed shot 68 in the challenging conditions.
The gap between McIlroy and Niemann is significant but not insurmountable. Four shots is a manageable deficit in a four-round event, provided the weather cooperates. McIlroy's ability to recover from the bunker disaster

On September 13, 2001, Lillian Garcia stood in the center of a WWE ring — alone — with tens of thousands of eyeballs on her at the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas. Normally the WWE's ring announcer, Garcia had been tasked with a nominal-turned-monumental duty — singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" — two days after the most significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
More than 1,600 miles away, in the shadows of the ever-altered New York City skyline, 10-year-old Thea Trinidad watched — as she always did — after experiencing an upheaval most do at some point in their life, but few as suddenly as her.
"That one's specifically always stuck out to me," Trinidad, a former WWE champion who performed under the alias Zelina Vega, tells Uncrowned. "I remember that one specifically, I saw all of the wrestlers get really emotional and seeing Lillian, still I always tell her: 'Yours is still my favorite to hear.'
"It just felt like, in that moment, the thing that I loved most was kind of shining a light on my dad. In a way, it kind of felt like it was just for 9/11, and it felt like it was just for those people. And I think in a weird way, it was important for us to feel that, because everyone else just felt like you were a thing, like a spectacle. You were someone to look at. You almost felt like you were the circus animal, and you were like, 'Oh, look, they dealt with that,' or, 'Oh, look, her dad died.' It just felt like wrestling was the thing that I've always felt seen in."

Zan Vipotnik has been backed to return to form for Swansea City – even though he is still not guaranteed to return to the starting line-up.
Swansea are flying in the Championship, leading the table after six games, and they take their unbeaten start to Southampton on Tuesday (19:45 BST).
And yet their leading goalscorer of last season has not got up and running.
Vipotnik, 24, took the second-tier golden boot with 23 league goals last term for a side that did not trouble the eventual race for the play-offs.
The tally was built on an eye-catching start where he had bagged five goals from the opening six games.

Six years after it was banned for its racist overtones, the "Gator Bait" cheer reutrned Saturday in Gainesville for Florida's 2026 college football opener.
The Universitty of Florida's marching band played the cheer in the first quarter of the Gators' Sept. 5 game against Florida Atlantic for the first time since then-president Ken Fuchs banned it at football games in 2020.
Former UF defensive star Lawrence Wright popularized the term in 1995 after a win over rival Florida State when he said, "If you ain't a Gator, ya Gator bait, baby." The phrase caught on with the Florida faithful during the team's run of success under coach Steve Spurrier.
Even though Fuchs acknowledged the cheer itself wasn't racist, he based his decision on the "historic racist imagery **** ociated with the phrase." The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University said that newspaper articles and imagery from the late 19th and early 20th century depicted African American babies as alligator bait, a term that was also used as a slur for Black people.

It has been more than half a century since Tottenham have gone this long without a league goal to start the season.
A City Ground stalemate at Nottingham Forest at least gets Roberto de Zerbi's side their first point of the season but not to the extent they would want.
It followed defeats to Brentford and Newcastle which means Spurs have failed to score in their opening three league games for the first time since 1974-75.
Spurs did not play badly - they were the better side - but after their huge summer transfer outlay more is needed and expected.
De Zerbi preached patience and he is right - 10 senior arrivals means his team is still to find an identity.

Despite finishing runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at the Tour Championship, Viktor Hovland still managed to turn heads at East Lake. Just not for the reason fans might expect.
Following Sunday's final round, a video of Hovland's bunker shot on the 13th hole went viral. The shot itself wasn't the story. Instead, viewers focused on what happened just before Hovland struck the ball. Immediately, a debate started over and whether he should have been **** sed a two-stroke penalty.
Hovland found himself in a green side bunker on the par-4 13th during Sunday's final round. While he eventually walked away with a bogey, a slow-motion replay raised questions about whether the result should have been much worse.
The replay appeared to show Hovland's wedge getting extremely close to the sand behind his ball before he played his shot. That immediately brought USGA Rule 12.2b into the conversation.
The rule applies specifically to bunkers and prohibits a player from touching the sand with a club before making a stroke. Among other things, players cannot touch the sand with their club in the area in front of or behind the ball. This includes during a practice swing and during the backswing.

Colorado QB depth chart: Can Julian Lewis, Zach Wilson's brother end post-Shedeur struggles? originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
When Colorado won nine games in 2024, its most in a season since 2016 and its first bowl-game appearance since 2020, it wasn't just because of two-way star Travis Hunter. Elite quarterback play guided the Buffaloes' offense.
While Shedeur Sanders' NFL career has been rocky thus far, he was undoubtedly one of the best passers in the country throughout his final season in Boulder, completing 74% of his passes for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns. Since then, however, Deion Sanders hasn't found stability at the quarterback position.
Colorado won just four games in 2025 as starting quarterback Kaidon Salter threw seven interceptions. With Salter now gone, however, Sanders has some intriguing passers around for 2026, led by a former top recruit.
Here's a look at Colorado's new quarterback room entering the 2026 season.

The New York Jets took advantage of having the No. 2 spot in the NFL waiver wire priority to address one of their biggest concerns heading into Week 1.
The Jets claimed kicker Blake Grupe off waivers. He's been named the starting placekicker for the opening game.
Veteran kicker Jason Sanders was part of the Jets' final cuts. Sanders quickly re-signed back to the practice squad, so he'll continue working on his offseason struggles behind the scenes.
The Jets cycled through various failed kicking experiments this offseason, including Younghoe Koo, Will Ferrin, Cade York, and Lenny Krieg.
Grupe has not been a very reliable kicker throughout his NFL career, which is why he was available in late August.

No one in the history of the PGA Tour has made more money than Scottie Scheffler did in 2026.
The world's No. 1 player, who captured the Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake in Atlanta for his 22nd victory on Tour, moved past $30 million in season earnings with the $10 million prize. He's the first player to pass $30 million in earnings in a single season and also passed Tiger Woods on the PGA Tour's career money list.
Scheffler earned more than double Cameron Young's prize money, and Young finished second on the season-long money list. Nine golfers earned more than $10 million while 33 took home more than $5 million.

SOUTH BEND — So much for a cautious ramp-up regarding Notre Dame football center Ashton Craig.
Forty-seven weeks after suffering his second torn ACL in as many seasons, the senior from Lawrenceburg, Ind. is listed atop the depth chart for Sunday night's Sept. 6 opener against unranked Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.
"He has a lot of experience," Irish coach Marcus Freeman said Monday Aug. 31 at his weekly news conference. "There's a calmness that he brings because of his experience. He's a really, really good football player and he's really progressed throughout camp with his workload and has gotten himself to a place where he's ready to go."
Barring any setbacks during practice this week, Sunday's start would be the 13th of Craig's college career, dating to the last three games of 2023.
He was knocked out for the season in Week 3 at Purdue in 2024 (left ACL) but returned for the season-opening loss at Miami in 2025.

NEW YORK - Eight pitches in, Ethan Pecko appeared on the edge of calamity. Francisco Lindor crushed a full-count fastball into the second deck at Citi Field. Juan Soto sent a first-pitch curveball over the wall in left-center. Bo Bichette punched a single through the right side of the Houston Astros' infield.
Houston pitching coach Josh Miller hustled to the mound for a visit. AJ Blubaugh began to throw in the visitors' bullpen. Turning there so early might have torpedoed an already tenuous staff. Pecko, still, was making his third major-league start, and a series against the Mets hung in the balance Sunday.
Miller's message?
"To be honest, I don't even know," Pecko said afterward. "I was pretty comfortable with where I was at. Obviously, you don't want to give up two home runs back-to-back. But even the single, like, I knew the stuff was good. And I kind of just knew I could shake it off and keep going."
Instead of an early exit, Pecko engineered a recovery. The 24-year-old right-hander stabilized his outing enough to work five innings that kept the Astros position to stage a comeback, preserved their pitching structure and offered perhaps the most encouraging step yet in his big-league introduction.

After the disastrous defeat in Linz on Tuesday evening, we returned to Celtic Park to face Falkirk on domestic duty.
While the crowd was fully behind the manager and his players, the Celtic board were quite rightly taken to task by the Green Brigade who captured the overall feeling of the entire support, as they highlighted their anger at the Celtic Park hierarchy for another costly calamity in the Champions League.
Our crushing defeat to LASK wasn't only a major embarrassment after being four goals ahead, it also meant missing out on a potential £40 million payday, and the chance to once again compete with Europe's elite.

This was expected move, but there could be another shoe about to drop. The New Orleans Saints are waiving backup quarterback Hunter Dekkers ahead of Sunday's NFL roster cuts deadline, as first reported by Mike Triplett for NewOrleans.Football and confirmed by ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Dekkers was buried on the depth chart behind Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Zach Wilson which meant he didn't see a single rep in team drills at training camp. That didn't stop the Saints from throwing him into a two-minute drill during a preseason game to see if he could sink or swim. The left-handed quarterback almost pulled it off.
As we suggested, this may not be the end of the line for Dekkers in New Orleans. The Saints signed him to their practice squad last year as an undrafted rookie, waited for his injured shoulder to heal up during the season, and let him go to try his hand in the UFL. When the spring league wrapped up, he was welcomed back in time for training camp. Maybe the southpaw gets smore time to develop on the practice squad this year. Or maybe another team likes what they've seen from his UFL game tape and plucky preseason cameo enough to claim him off waivers. Stay tuned.

DENVER — Denver Broncos' head coach Sean Payton always has Bo Nix's back.
That was on full display for the world to see Thursday morning at 11:15 a.m. after Fox Sports ****** yst Geoff Schwartz gave his opinion on Nix.
"I do think he just is what he is at this point. He looks like the same quarterback he was in college," Schwartz said on Fox Sports, which circulated on X. "He's consistent. He's not gonna make mistakes. But he's not gonna push the ball down the field all that often."
Nix's head coach clearly disagreed, responding on Thursday morning by taking a simple dig at Schwartz, saying, "Always easy to tell who works at it and who doesn't."
Following the Broncos' 34-6 preseason beatdown of the Minnesota Vikings, Payton expanded on his original Tweet.

PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov hasn't entered the UFC yet, but he's already talking trash about the quality of opposition he may face when he gets there.
Nurmagomedov fought the last fight on his PFL contract last month, and recently revealed he turned down a $2 million per fight offer from the organization in order to wait out the 90 day exclusive negotiation period and see what other promotions might offer him. Promotions like the UFC, where he could finally get his due as one of the best lightweights in the world.
In an interview with Sport24, Usman pushed back on the idea that the top fighters are all in the UFC.
"They say if you don't fight in the UFC, it's not the same level. I disagree with this," he said. "Just look at the guys in the UFC who sit in the top 10 and they just fight amongst themselves and keep the top ten closed. For example, Benoit Saint Denis. Won 4, lost to Dustin Poirier, lost to 'Money' Moicano, lost 3 more. Lost in 30 seconds. [Michael] Chandler. Top 15. He's there. Lost to [Paddy] Pimblett."
"[Ilia] Topuria, who praised himself endlessly, lost. Quit on the stool. Said 'I don't wanna continue.' Arman [Tsarukyan] lost to [Mateusz] Gamrot, and he lost to Islam [Makhachev]. He sits, waits a year, fights once, and says that he is the best wrestler in the world. While he had two fights, I made four ****** le defenses."

Derrick Brooks was in the twilight of his decorated football career when making a promise to his mother that remains part of his philanthropic efforts.
Geraldine Mitchell was only 52 in 2007 when breast cancer took her life. At that time, Brooks, a Booker T. Washington High and Florida State graduate, had established himself as one of the greatest linebackers in the NFL history during a 14-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It led to his 2014 enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Canton, Ohio.
"My mother passed 20 years ago, but she had told me to never forget where I came from, never forget where I grew up and continue to help others in Pensacola," said Brooks, prior to hosting the sixth annual Derrick Brooks Celebrity Classic golf event on Aug. 17 at Pensacola Country Club.
He continues to expand that reach.

Infectious energy can be a great thing for NFL teams, but infectious diseases – those are always something to avoid.
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh characterized running back Cam Skattebo's energy on Wednesday, Aug. 26 as more of the latter. Skattebo's antics in practice on Wednesday ignited a fight with Giants defensive backs Jevón Holland and Greg Newsome II, according to multiple reports.
Asked about "infectious" energy from Skattebo on Aug. 26, Harbaugh criticized Skattebo's antagonizing, according to a report.
"Yeah it's infectious. It can be infectious the other way, an infectious disease type of thing. We want it to be in a positive way," Harbaugh reportedly said.

On the heels of this year's Naismith Hall of Fame ceremony, Mychal Thompson is calling for a former LA Lakers player to be inducted next. Thompson, however, isn't making a case for himself.
Instead, the two-time NBA champion during the Lakers' "Showtime" era tweeted on Monday that a former teammate of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant deserves HOF honors.
"OK [Basketball] Halla Fame…Time to Induct Robert Horry…What's the hold up?"
The opinion drew different reactions from fans, with some supporting the idea of Horry getting a Hall of Fame induction and others arguing that he wasn't worthy of one.
One netizen posited the idea that the 2003-04 Lakers would have won the NBA championship had they kept Horry in the lineup, instead of signing Karl Malone. Thompson went on to respond.

Barcelona could hardly have asked for a more convincing start to their La Liga **** le defence.
A 5-0 win away at Elche gave Hansi Flick's side three points, five goals and plenty of reasons to feel positive about the season ahead.
Raphinha and Fermin Lopez both scored twice at the Martínez Valero, while Karim Adeyemi also found the net as Barcelona made a powerful statement in their first league outing. Yet the result was only part of the story.
With Barça playing without a recognised centre-forward, questions over the club's plans for a new No. 9 remain firmly alive.
Flick also used his post-match press conference to praise Raphinha's leadership, explain the situation surrounding Alejandro Balde and provide an update after Gavi was forced off with a knock to his right knee.

PHOENIX (AP) — JJ Bleday hit for the cycle in his first four at-bats, Elly De La Cruz also had four hits and the Cincinnati Reds routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-5 on Saturday night.
Bleday doubled in a run off Arizona starter Michael Soroka in the first inning, tripled to score another in the third and greeted reliever Zach Littell with a single in the fourth. He led off the sixth with a line drive over the fence in right field for the fourth cycle of the season and the eighth in Reds history dating to 1890.
Bleday also hit a deep drive that Arizona center fielder Ryan Waldschmidt ran down at the wall in the seventh and struck out in the ninth The 28-year-old left fielder topped his career high with the homer, his 21st of the season. He hit 20 for the Athletics in 2024.
De La Cruz needed a triple to join Bleday with a cycle, but settled for a four-hit game that included a 450-foot home run to right field in the fifth inning, his 21st of the season.
De La Cruz had the previous Cincinnati cycle, against Atlanta in 2023. Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs, the Phillies' Bryce Harper and Tristan Peters of the White Sox also have cycles this season.

ESPN's Mike Clay is not a fan of the Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver room.
Clay recently went through and ranked each position group entering the NFL season from 1 to 32. The Colts' wide receiver unit ranked No. 29.
No explanation was offered, but presumably this has to largely do with the depth of this unit, which is in question. The addition of Keenan Allen solidifies the WR3 role for the Colts, but behind Allen, Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs, there is little track record of steady production from those also on the roster.
Some have also questioned whether or not Pierce can step in and be a true No. 1 target for the offense. While ultimately he still has to prove he can shoulder that role, Pierce isn't just the deep threat that many ******* ume he is. His route-running abilities have expanded during his NFL career.
Along with Pierce and Allen, Josh Downs has proven to be a very reliable target, especially on third downs. And while Tyler Warren is a tight end, he will be a big factor in the passing game as well.

Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in a move for PSG's Bradley Barcola, and Carlton Cole believes the winger is a player the Gunners need to add to their squad.
Barcola wants to leave PSG, while the French club is prepared to sell him provided the price is right, as they look to reinvest the money into their squad. His situation has attracted interest from several clubs, with Liverpool currently appearing to be the most serious suitors.
Liverpool have shown the strongest interest in Barcola over the last few weeks and could beat ****** nal to his signature. However, the Reds have not yet completed a deal, leaving the door open for ****** nal to approach before the transfer window closes.
The Gunners could become more active in their pursuit of Barcola if they manage to offload Gabriel Martinelli. The French winger would provide another option on the left side and could add further quality to an ****** nal attack that has already been strengthened.
Barcola has won back-to-back Champions League ****** les in Paris and would bring that winning experience to the Emirates if ****** nal manage to sign him. Cole believes the winger could be an ideal addition as the Gunners look to complete their squad.
