US stocks diverged on Thursday amid fresh doubts about President Trump's ability to end the war with Iran and a potential shake-up to the booming AI trade.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose over 1.7%, or more than 900 points. The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) added 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) pared losses to around 0.2%.
Broadcom (AVGO) shares sank more than 14% after its AI chip forecast disappointed, raising questions about the strength of the broadly booming AI trade.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday evening, following the most serious escalation between the US and Iran since the April ceasefire took effect, the House of Representatives voted to end the war in a rebuke to Trump. Earlier in the day, stocks retreated from records, and oil rose as hopes for a quick Iran deal faded.
Elsewhere, ****** eX confirmed in a new filing that it plans to secure a record-breaking $75 billion in its IPO on June 12. Relaxed rules that could fast-track ****** eX's inclusion in index funds mean that 401(k) investors could wind up invested in the company without buying a single share.

We've hit June and the small-sample alarm is no longer sounding — we've played about 38% of the season. Fast starts have more meaning now; they could mean strong seasons. Many players we drafted late or added off the fantasy baseball waiver wire have earned solidified roles on our rosters.
Today's ***** ignment was to locate some surprising hitters and try to determine just how real their fast starts are. Settle in and let's see what we can figure out.
It's important to remember that Vargas was once a rated prospect. He was on everyone's clipboard in 2022 and made the Futures Game. His highest prospect rank came in 2023, when Baseball America listed him at No. 30. Player development is not always linear.
The White Sox are getting a lovely breakout from Vargas this year. His bat speed has improved, his hard-hit metrics are good, his plate-discipline stats are very good. Swinging at strikes and spitting on ***** is the quickest path to success in this game. He's also learned the craft of stealing bases, now 15-for-15 over the past two seasons. And heck, he hasn't even been lucky — his .242 average and .502 slugging lag behind his .262 expected average and .535 expected slugging. Vargas is set up to be one of the strongest right answers of 2026 fantasy baseball.
Marsh has been a plus-offensive player for most of his career, in his fifth straight season with a favorable OPS+. But the timing has been right for a career year at age 28, as he's hit new highs for all the slash categories (.335/.365/.482). We like seeing his strikeout rate moving down, but it's also telling that his walk rate has fallen significantly, too. A dip in walks isn't always a bad thing — sometimes it's a matter of not letting so many hittable strikes pass the zone.

Netherlands are ranked only eighth favourites to win the 2026 World Cup, below Spain, France, Argentina, Brazil, England, Portugal and Germany. Depending where you draw the line, they are either the worst of the realistic contenders or the best of the rest.
Yet there is plenty of evidence to suggest that is a pessimistic view of one of the best squads in North America this summer. Netherlands have one of Europe’s form strikers in Donyell Malen, who scored 14 goals in 18 Serie A games since joining Roma in January, much to the surprise of Aston Villa fans. They have Frenkie de Jong, Ryan Gravenberch and Tijjani Reijnders in midfield. And the defence is like something from a Premier League fantasy team.
Virgil van Dijk, Micky van de Ven, Nathan Ake and Jurrien Timber are an elite quartet, and that is before you get to the power of right-back Denzel Dumfries – about to join Real Madrid from Inter as Jose Mourinho’s first marquee signing since returning to the Bernabeu. Chelsea’s Jorrel Hato and Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke add strength in depth.
Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen is developing into a hugely talented player in his own right, but he feels more secure knowing who will be standing in front of him when the Netherlands begin their World Cup campaign, against ***** an on 14 June.
“It makes my life a bit easier, that’s for sure,” Verbruggen says. “As a competitor, you always want to play against the best players but you also want to beat them, and in order to beat them you need the best players on your side as well. And I’ve got the big privilege to be able to play with a defensive line that I think is up there with the best in the world.”

The Detroit Lions have added another receiver to their offseason roster.
On Wednesday, the team announced that it has signed wide receiver Kyre Duplessis, adding another young playmaker to compete for a spot during training camp.

Duplessis enters the NFL after a productive career with the Delaware Blue Hens.
During the 2025 season, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound receiver hauled in 60 receptions for 824 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 13.7 yards per catch.

Having come on strong in this year’s French Open, Diana Shnaider’s explosive left-handed forehand and double-handed backhand aren’t her only signatures.
The Russian-born player, who is recognizable for her colorful headscarves, is squaring off against Maja Chwalińska of Poland Thursday. Shnaider opted for a repeat look, wearing the same orange headscarf and black Yonex tennis dress that she wore Wednesday to defeat the WTA’s top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. As for her French Open strategy, Shnaider told reporters earlier this week that she was “trying to go match by match.”
The Yonex-sponsored athlete was unmissable in an orange ribbed headscarf that accented the orange and turquoise trim on her black tennis dress with a leathery-looking pleated skirt. It also coordinates with the red clay courts at Roland-Garros.
Born in Zhigulevsk, Russia, Shnaider started playing tennis at the age of 4 and was training under coach Samvel Minasyan in Moscow by the age of 8. After a stint at North Carolina State University in 2022, she competed in her first Grand Slam tournament the following year at the Australian Open. Repped by Topnotch Management, the former Adidas-sponsored athlete has an endorsement deal with the sports media content company First & Red. Her career earnings to date are $5.17 million including $952,112 in prize earnings. This year women’s single winner at the French Open will take home 2,800,000 euros, or $3.25 million.
Her signature headscarf was something that she started wearing years ago to shield the sun. Shnaider’s parents were concerned that the fair-haired daughter would get sunburned on the courts, but caps and visors reportedly obstructed her view. So Shnaider opted for a headscarf that they bought in a supermarket. By 2023, Shnaider was outsourcing the design of her favorite accessory, by buying the material for a seamstress to design. However, for Wednesday’s upset victory, she appeared to wear a ribbed one with the Yonex logo on it. A Yonex representative deferred an interview request to Topnotch Management, which did not respond to requests for comment.
The American men’s singles player Frances Tiafoe copied the look last year by sporting a blue headscarf with white polka dots at last year’s Cincinnati Open. He gave her credit for the choice via Instagram inspiration on Instagram with “New look?? Appreciate u _di_shnaider_ .”

Tennessee baseball announced on June 4 that it has fired pitching coach Josh Reynolds.
“I want to thank Josh Reynolds for his hard work and dedication to the Tennessee baseball program during his two seasons in Knoxville, but I have decided it’s best for our program to move in a different direction from a pitching standpoint at this time," coach Josh Elander said in a school release.
Reynolds spent two seasons with the Vols, first as director of baseball operations and pitching performance in 2025 before being promoted for Elander's first season as head coach in 2026. He replaced Frank Anderson, who followed former coach Tony Vitello to the San Francisco Giants when Vitello was hired as their manager in October 2025.
Tennessee had a team ERA of 4.72 this season as it went 38-22.

Showing strong hedge fund and Wall Street support, Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) ranks among the best AI infrastructure stocks and carries an upside potential of 21.0% (street high).

The most recent upgrade came on May 27, 2026, when Mizuho raised its price target on Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) to $380 from $330 and kept an “Outperform” rating.
The firm lifted its wafer fab equipment spending estimate for 2026 to $153 billion from $142 billion, and for 2027 to $190 billion from $163 billion. Mizuho argued that current earnings estimates for Lam Research, Applied Materials, and MKS remain underestimated, with the wafer fab equipment ****** e continuing to benefit from NAND node transitions, TSMC spending, and DRAM and high bandwidth memory pricing strength.
That followed a May 18, 2026, upgrade from Morgan Stanley, which moved Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) to “Overweight” from “Equal Weight” with a price target of $331, up from $293. The firm said its DRAM wafer fab equipment revisions have narrowed and that it has grown more constructive on NAND revisions from here, citing confidence in Lam’s 2027 share gains.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. aims to put his injuries behind him after missing 43 games dating back to his final season with the Michigan Wolverines in 2022 and his lone season with the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2023. He missed 11 games in 2022 with a significant back injury that required surgery. All then missed seven games in 2023 due to a torn right ACL. He tore the same ACL in his rookie season, missing eight games and the entire 2025 campaign.
All has since fully recovered and has been a full participant in voluntary organized team activities. He will compete for a roster spot, and if he can pick where he left off in both the blocking and receiving departments, he could earn a place on the 53-man roster.
During Tuesday’s press conference, Erick All Jr. was asked about his health after recently recovering from a pair of ACL injuries, as reported by Billy Riccette of Bengals Wire. He said he feels much better than when he first arrived in Cincinnati in 2024 and is now completely healthy. All also emphasized his physicality, saying he “is in heaven” when coaches have him hit.
“I love to hit. If they have me hit, I’m in heaven,” All said, via Riccette.
“If I’m being quite honest, I feel a lot better than I did when I first got here. Like, a lot better. Completely healthy, 2024 season to now, I feel like a completely different person.

The foundation has been poured; now the Kentucky Wildcats are looking to build the walls with 18 commitments already secured, and the Wildcats are sitting inside the 247 Sports Top 25 at No. 14 nationally. Will Stein enters another critical June recruiting weekend with momentum on his side. But as every successful recruiting class eventually learns, June isn't about protecting your position—it's about elevating it. This weekend could determine whether Kentucky's 2027 haul remains a solid class or transforms into one capable of competing with the SEC's recruiting powers.
Several of the Wildcats' top remaining targets will descend on Lexington over the next few days, including blue-chip pass rushers, elite offensive linemen, and impact defensive backs. For Stein and his staff, it's another opportunity to prove that Kentucky is no longer simply trying to keep pace in the SEC—it intends to challenge for territory traditionally controlled by college football's heavyweights.
Every recruiting weekend needs a centerpiece. This one begins with Indianapolis Warren Central No. 18 LB Sean Fox.
The explosive Navy All-American originally planned to visit Kentucky later this month but moved his official visit up, a move that speaks volumes about where the Wildcats stand in his recruitment. Kentucky held significant momentum throughout the spring before Georgia and Clemson intensified their pursuit. Now comes the most important stretch.
Fox has already experienced Athens. He's already seen Clemson. This weekend gives Kentucky its opportunity to remind him why the Wildcats sat atop his board earlier in the process. The battle won't be easy. Few programs win many head-to-head recruiting wars against Georgia and Clemson. But Kentucky doesn't need history this weekend.

Although FC Nantes will be playing in Ligue 2 next season after finishing 17th in the table, Anthony Lopes (35) will remain in Ligue 1 for a few more months.
With his contract with Les Canaris due to expire next June, the Portuguese goalkeeper is set to sign a two-year deal with SCO Angers, according to L’Équipe. An option for a further year has also been included in the deal.
Having enjoyed a satisfying season on a personal level, Lopes will bring all his experience (he has played 427 matches in the French league, the majority for Olympique Lyonnais) to an Angers side now bereft of Hervé Koffi (29), whose loan from RC Lens came to an end at the close of the season.
A starter in all 31 matches he played for Nantes this season (17 of them as captain), Lopes kept six clean sheets and conceded a total of 51 goals.

Having enjoyed a satisfying season on a personal level, Lopes will bring all his experience (he has played 427 matches in the French league, the majority for Olympique Lyonnais) to an Angers side now bereft of Hervé Koffi (29), whose loan from RC Lens came to an end at the close of the season.
A starter in all 31 matches he played for Nantes this season (17 of them as captain), Lopes kept six clean sheets and conceded a total of 51 goals.

Mitch Johnson reveals what crushed Spurs in NBA Finals opener originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For much of Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs looked in control of Game 1. They built a double digit lead and forced New York to spend most of the evening playing from behind.
Every time the Knicks appeared ready to make a push, San Antonio found another answer. By the middle of the third quarter, the Spurs had stretched their advantage to 14 points.
That should have been enough to create real separation. Instead, New York remained close enough to keep believing. The reason appeared almost every time the Knicks missed a shot.
San Antonio would force a difficult possession. New York would miss. Then the possession continued when the Knicks grabbed another rebound.

The Detroit Lions have seen their franchise completely turn around under head coach Dan Campbell. After making the playoffs just three times between the year 2000 and 2022, Detroit not only went to the post-season in back to back seasons in 2023 and 2024, but advanced to the NFC Conference Championship in 2023.
While 2025 was a down year (finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs) the team is looking forward to once again proving that they are a true championship caliber team in 2026. Unfortunately, one of their young wide receivers will miss the entire year.
Here are the details.
During practice this week, Detroit’s rookie receiver Kendrick Law tore his ACL. He will be unable to play in the upcoming season. On Tuesday June 2, Lions coach Dan Campbell reported that Law suffered the injury while participating in a non-contact drill.
“Hate it for him,” Campbell said. “The kid was doing a good job. But that’s – it’s part of it. It’s a harsh reality. He’ll get it out of the way early, have his whole career in front of him.”

The 2025 Kentucky Wildcats football team struggled to create explosive plays on offense, especially at wide receiver. However, Kendrick Law was an exception. He showed off his speed and athleticism multiple times, an it got him drafted by the Detroit Lions in this year's NFL draft.
Unfortunately, Law's NFL debut is going to have to wait. On Thursday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that Law tore his ACL at practice. That will almost certainly end his rookie season before it had a chance to begin.
Law began his college career with the Alabama Crimson Tide as a top 100 recruit. He spent three seasons there, but wasn't able to break out, and transferred to Kentucky prior to his senior season. In his lone season in Lexington, he finally showed what he could do, recording 53 receptions, 540 yards, and 3 touchdowns.
The Lions selected Law with the 168th overall pick, a fifth rounder, to play alongside Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown. It was a good landing spot with room for him to earn some playing time. Now, he'll have to wait until 2027.
It's an unfortunate injury for any player, especially a rookie picked in the later rounds. We wish Law the best in his recovery, and hope to see him on the field in the future.

The Boston Red Sox are adding a veteran reliever to their bullpen on Thursday.
According to a report from Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, the AL East club has selected the contract of right-hander Tommy Kahnle from Triple-A Worcester.
To open a 40-man roster spot for Kahnle, a former New York Yankees fan favorite who throws a hefty dose of changeups, the Red Sox will need to adjust.
Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors wrote Thursday that left-handed starting pitcher Garrett Crochet makes sense as someone who could be moved to the 60-day injured list.

After it was clear FC St. Pauli and Alexander Blessin would part ways, the Hanseatic club are looking for an instant successor as coach.
Now, according to Sky Germany's sources, the recently relegated Bundesliga side are said to be interested in Marcel Rapp.
The 47-year-old led Holstein Kiel to the Bundesliga in 2024 and was initially allowed to stay even after their immediate relegation.
However, when demotion back to the 3. Liga loomed in the 2025-26 campaign, Kiel wasted no time in giving Rapp the chop.
According to Sky, an agreement between Rapp – who was recently linked with Arminia Bielefeld – and FC St. Pauli is still pending.

George Russell says this year's world championship is Kimi Antonelli's "to lose" after the Briton's retirement from the last race in Canada.
Russell heads into this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix with a 43-point deficit to his Mercedes team-mate after the Briton's engine failed while leading in Montreal.
Italian Antonelli, 19, has won four races in a row, while Russell's only grand prix victory this year was in the season-opening race in Australia.
Monaco is the sixth round of what is now a 22-race season.
"If I look at it from my competitor's position, you're kind of in a position now that you've got such a buffer, it feels like you can only keep it or you can only lose it," Russell said.

GREEN BAY – Less than a year ago, while still rehabbing from his torn ACL late in the 2024 season, Christian Watson got a little patience from the Green Bay Packers with a one-year extension.
It provided a runway for Watson to return without the pressure of a contract expiration hanging over him. More time to prove he was back to full speed.
Turns out, he didn’t need it.
Watson reached an agreement on a second extension June 4, a four-year, $110.5 million deal that will retain the Packers’ top receiver long term, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal includes a $31 million signing bonus and dwarfs the one-year extension worth up to $13.25 million he signed last September.
The new extension makes Watson the NFL’s 15th-highest-paid receiver at $27.625 million annually. Watson might have scaled higher on the market with a healthy season this fall, but much like Jayden Reed did earlier this offseason, opted for more security up front.

Barely 12 hours had passed when Chet Holmgren had to face the music once again. With a face filled with shell-shock, the All-NBA talent's summer will be haunted by his four-point goose egg in a Game 7 loss that ended their ambitions to be back-to-back champions.
The Oklahoma City Thunder fell to the San Antonio Spurs in an epic seven-game series. The 2026 Western Conference Finals were for the Larry O'Brien in most folks' eyes. Remains to be seen if they're right, but no denying both 60-plus-win machines showed why they were in a tier of their own all year.
When you face a team of that high quality with those types of stakes on the line, it really exposes your weaknesses to the forefront for the entire NBA-sphere to see. In OKC's case, injuries finally caught up. Being without Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell for most of the series was a death blow they couldn't overcome.
The Thunder have been superb at overcoming injuries all season. To the point they went an NBA-best 64-18 in the regular season and swept their first two playoff opponents. But against the Spurs, you needed all hands on deck. Instead, being without two of your three best scorers and ball-handlers absolutely damaged their ******* le odds.
Another takeaway from the series? Holmgren has a Spurs problem.
