LOS ANGELES -- The Phoenix Mercury visited the Los Angeles Sparks last month at the Galen Center in the University of Southern California. A lot changed from their visit before that a couple of weeks before to their game at USC.
For Kahleah Copper, a lot changed for her as well. Hours after their game against the Sparks on July 22nd, Copper was named to the All-Star team as she replaced her friend, then-Sparks guard Kelsey Plum.
About a week after All-Star weekend, Plum was traded to the Mercury and the friends were suddenly teammates.
"(Plum brought) her energy, her vibes, her leadership, her championship experience (to the team)," Copper said before their game against the Sparks at USC. "She knows what it takes to win. I'm glad to play alongside with her."
As for All-Star Weekend after expecting to get some rest?

ATLANTA — Tennessee defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs left the Georgia Tech game with an injury in the first quarter on Sept. 12.
Hobbs was shaken up on a play with 11:14 remaining in the opening quarter. After lying on the turf for a couple of minutes, he walked slowly off the field on his own power and went directly to the injury tent.
It appeared to be a lower body injury. Hobbs was limited in preseason practice by a foot injury.
Hobbs is an important piece of UT's defensive line rotation. The senior has played in 33 games in his Vols career.

The I-35 Rivalry returns to San Marcos, as Texas State football hosts UTSA on Saturday in a clash between two of Texas' biggest midmajor programs.
The Bobcats' rise has coincided with increased success against the Roadrunners. Head coach GJ Kinne has led Texas State to two straight wins over UTSA and his former mentor, Jeff Traylor, after a 20-13 loss in Kinne's debut year. The Bobcats handed the Roadrunners a 49-10 drubbing last time they met in San Marcos, and Traylor made it clear in the days leading up to the game that he hasn't forgotten that embarrassment.
MORE: Is Texas State football or UTSA favored? The I-35 Rivalry's keys to victory
Although Texas State was thoroughly outmatched against Texas in Week 1, there were a few positive takeaways. There is no doubt in the offense led by quarterback Brad Jackson and his dynamic wide receiver duo of Chris Dawn Jr. and Beau Sparks, but the defense left a lot to be desired. UTSA quarterback Owen McCown and running back Will Henderson will test how effective Texas State's offseason changes were in improving the unit that has been its kryptonite the past three seasons.
Traylor adjusted his offseason approach, bringing in veteran transfers and a new offensive coordinator. UTSA kept things vanilla against UTRGV last week and will likely have some nasty surprises for Texas State. Here are live updates from the I-35 Rivalry.

The Golden State Warriors have put together their teams through a variety of ways over the years, yet few approaches have proven as successful as the NBA draft. More than anything else, the most talented players to represent the Warriors have arrived in Golden State either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades executed on that same night.
The Golden State Warriors have taken many of their top stars through the draft, but have also landed a number of notable players over the years as well. From tiny colleges to blue blood programs, these alumni have contributed significantly to the team's roster over the years. So, we chose to take a closer look at which Dubs came from which schools over the years.
So without further ado, let's take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Warriors out of University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Draft year and position: 4th round (21st pick, 87th overall), 1977 NBA Draft
Seasons at University of Wisconsin-Parkside: unknown

Patrick Mahomes sparks concern with awkward walk before Chiefs season opener originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Patrick Mahomes wanted to end the questions about his surgically repaired left knee. A brief moment after his latest press conference only created more of them. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback smiled as he left the podium Thursday and delivered a playful message to reporters.
"Hopefully I'm done with the questions about the leg," Mahomes said, according to a video shared by Ari Meirov.
Some fans focused less on the comment and more on the way Mahomes appeared to walk away. A second post highlighting the clip helped fuel speculation that the three-time Super Bowl MVP might have been favoring his injured leg.
The short video does not prove that Mahomes experienced a setback, and the Chiefs have not announced a new problem. It does, however, demonstrate how closely every movement will be watched when Mahomes returns Monday night against the Denver Broncos.

"Jersey Shore" star Angelina Pivarnick is being slammed online after she appeared to shade Chris "CT" Tamburello and Phaedra Parks' new romance. On Instagram, Pivarnick didn't hold back when talking about CT's romantic relationship with the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star. In her comment, the MTV veteran even seemed to imply that Tamburello might've done her wrong.
According to Duexmoi, Pivarnick, who appeared in the first season of "Jersey Shore," commented on a post of Parks and Tamburello posing together at the Creative Emmys earlier this month.
In addition to putting several laughing-face emojis, Pivarnick wrote, "Soo much I could say right now because I know what really happened."
Pivarnick's comments come days after Parks confirmed she was dating Tamburello during an appearance on "Jeff Lewis Live." She told the "Flipping Out" star that she and Tamburello started dating recently, but confirmed they felt a connection in 2023 when they filmed season 2 of "The Traitors."

Chris "CT" Tamburello's estranged wife, Catalina White, is clearing the air.
Just days after the MTV star, 46, stepped out alongside Phaedra Parks for the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, White, 40, spoke to Page Six to clear the air about any "inappropriate overlap" between Tamburello and the 52-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta personality.
While Tamburello and Parks have only just started dating, they met in the fall of 2023 while filming season 2 of The Traitors, a year before he married White. Besides their long-running friendship and the bond the pair formed on the popular Peacock series, White told the outlet she "absolutely" does not think the two were anything but friends until recently.
"I have no reason to believe that," the content creator maintained.
She also kept her comments about Parks positive, noting that while she doesn't know the reality star "personally," Tamburello only ever "spoke highly" of the Bravolebrity.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (KSNW) – KU is looking towards the Border Showdown against Missouri after its 51-6 rout of LIU.
The Jayhawks accumulated more than 600 yards of offense, but now, the juices will be flowing a little more this week for the 122nd installment of the rivalry with the Tigers, which returned last year after a 14-year hiatus.
"Last year, getting the teams back together reignited the sparks so to speak of this rivalry and the intensity of it," Kansas head coach Lance Leipold said. "Now, it's not on the books for a while after Friday, so hopefully it can be."
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday night in Lawrence.

Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) Chief Financial Officer Claire McDonough is stepping down at the end of October to join GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) in the same role, Reuters reported on August 27, just as Rivian ramps up production of its cheaper R2 SUV amid fragile U.S. EV demand.
McDonough will formally take the GE Vernova CFO seat on January 1, 2027, succeeding the retiring Ken Parks. Rivian said her exit is "not the result of any disagreement" and that she is relocating to the East Coast to be closer to family. McDonough joined Rivian in January 2021, led the company through its $13.7 billion IPO later that year, and helped structure its $5.8 billion Volkswagen Group joint venture. Derek Mulvey, Rivian's vice president of finance, will serve as interim CFO starting October 30 while the company runs a search for a permanent replacement. The news lands as Rivian scales the R2, its $45,000-to-$58,000 SUV that began customer deliveries in June, with the stock trading near $17, down more than 75% from its IPO price.
Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) keeps improving its business as it enters the next phase of its growth strategy. The company has started R2 deliveries, and management raised its annual delivery forecast last month as customers showed stronger interest in the lower-priced SUV. Rivian also continues to pursue profitability while growing its vehicle lineup. This is giving the company an opportunity to build a larger customer base through a more affordable model.
Rivian also has an experienced finance team that can maintain continuity after Claire McDonough's departure. McDonough will remain at Rivian through the end of October and help with the transition, while Vice President of Finance Derek Mulvey will take over as interim CFO. That arrangement gives Rivian time to search for a permanent replacement without forcing the company to manage an abrupt leadership gap during the R2 rollout.
GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) gains a finance chief with experience in capital-intensive businesses, fundraising and cost management. McDonough helped Rivian take its business public, lead cost-cutting efforts and raise capital during its expansion. Those skills could benefit GE Vernova as the company expands its Power and Electrification businesses and manages rising demand for energy infrastructure.

It's been a long time since former Arizona star Aari McDonald played in a WNBA game. That has come to an end with the first-place Minnesota Lynx announcing her signing on Monday afternoon.
McDonald was injured last August while playing for the Indiana Fever. She tried to come back by playing in the Unrivaled 3×3 league during the WNBA offseason, but she was again sidelined by injury. As WNBA training camp approached this year, she said she would not be in camp but she would return this season. It took a while, but now she's not only returning, but she's doing it with the best team in the league.
The Lynx lead the WNBA standings with a 31-9 record and four games left in the regular season. The league returns to play on Sept. 18 after a break for the FIBA Women's World Cup where many top players are representing their countries. That event runs from Sept. 4-13, but the league shut down on Aug. 31.
McDonald sat out a large chunk of last season after being waived by the LA Sparks in training camp. She eventually landed with the Indiana Fever, where she quickly became a fan favorite of the passionate fan base and a fixture in the local community.
She averaged 9.8 points on 42.9 percent shooting, 4.7 **** ists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes per game for Indiana last season. She appeared in 20 games with 13 starts. It was a career high in games started, minutes per game, field goal percentage, **** ists per game, and rebounds per game.

Merlin Polzin led his new-look Hamburg side out for their first home league fixture at the Volksparkstadion on Sunday afternoon, hosting a Mainz team with a familiar feel to them.
As Nicolai Remberg and Nadiem Amiri led their teams onto the pitch, Hamburg's Nordtribüne paid a touching tribute to the late Kevin Keegan with a wonderful choreo before kick-off. The Englishman, revered in the Hanseatic City after his exploits in the late 70s, sadly passed away in July.
Hamburg suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund on the opening day, and Polzin saw fit to make four changes to the starting XI that turned out in the Ruhrgebiet. A busy deadline day saw three new arrivals at the Volksparkstadion, with David Møller Wolfe and Zakaria El Ouahdi thrown straight in for their debuts; Fabio Vieira, meanwhile, began on the bench.
The visitors made two changes themselves to their starting XI that drew 0-0 at home to newly promoted Paderborn last weekend, with Kacper Potulski and Stefan Posch replacing Dominik Kohr and Danny Da Costa in defence.
Urs Fischer's side made the stronger start to the game, with a mistake from Jordan Torunarigha allowing Sheraldo Becker to force a good save from Daniel Heuer Fernandes within the first ten minutes. Moments later, Mainz worked a good opportunity from a corner for Amiri to strike at goal, though the German international sliced his effort wide.

#hamburg #amiri #home #away

Hamburger SV's lacklustre start to the new Bundesliga season continued this afternoon on home soil. In the Hanseatic sun, an FSV Mainz 05 side inspired by the brilliance of Sheraldo Becker and Phillip Tietz ran out comfortable winners on a 5-0 scoreline.
Similar to their opening day struggles in Dortmund, the hosts seemed to struggle as Mainz piled on the pressure. Sheraldo Becker stung the palms of Daniel Heuer Fernandes, before Nadiem Amiri fired wide on the end of a neat set-piece routine inside 15 minutes.
The warning signs were clear and HSV took no heed of it as an atmospheric Volksparkstadion fell momentarily silent. A misplaced pass from skipper Nicolai Remberg was picked off by Kaishu Sano. From there, he played in Becker who dispatched from a one-on-one scenario.
Aside from the occasional threat of Albert Grønbaek, HSV failed to even test debutante Alexander Schwolow before the break. Mainz swiftly led 2-0 when Nadiem Amiri pulled the strings in midfield for Becker to find **** e and deliver a routine tap-in for Philipp Mwene.
Half-time whistles from supporters forced Merlin Polzin's hand at the break. Torunarigha, Nadir and Adeline departed for Shafiq Nandja, Patson Daka and Fábio Vieira. The latter receiving a massive cheer since returning on a permanent basis from **** nal.

Lionel Messi set up both goals for Inter Miami as the Major League Soccer champions drew 2-2 with Atlanta United on Saturday in the Argentina star's first match since announcing his retirement from international football.
Thunderstorms and lightning delayed the start for 90 minutes, but there were sparks aplenty on the field after with Messi, Argentina's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player, at the heart of the action.
Miami grabbed the lead in the 32nd minute when Brazil's Casemiro rose to head home Messi's corner.
Atlanta equalized three minutes later when former Newcastle forward Miguel Almiron blasted home a low shot.
Former Liverpool and Barcelona star Luis Suarez put Miami into the lead with a measured finish on the cusp of half-time after a move down the left started by Messi.

Florida football came into the season opener against Florida Atlantic relatively healthy. While Saturday night's result was ideal, the Gators are now dealing with a few injury concerns to follow heading into Week 2.
Wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. suffered an unconfirmed injury during the game, while defensive backs J'Vari Flowers and Bryce Thornton also appeared to be shaken up at different points. Thornton seemed to injure his wrist after a big hit in the first half. Their statuses moving forward remain unclear. Head coach Jon Sumrall is expected to provide additional information after further evaluation.
The Gators were also without a number of key players before kickoff. Wide receiver Davian Groce, offensive lineman Eagan Boyer, defensive lineman Stive-Bentley Keumajio-Yondju, safety Eric Parks and running back Kelvin Jimenez were not dressed for the opener, according to reports from Gainesville. Before Saturday's matchup, Jimenez was listed as out.
The extent of Singleton's injury will be the most significant storyline as the Gators turn their attention to Campbell.

Texas State football begins its 2026 season Saturday, visiting Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium to take on the Texas Longhorns.
The Bobcats are heavy underdogs in their second-ever matchup against the burnt orange. Texas has one of the nation's most talented rosters led by quarterback Arch Manning, a potential Heisman Trophy candidate who could be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Texas State has some firepower of its own. Starting quarterback Brad Jackson enters his second year starting under head coach GJ Kinne with two top wide receivers flanking him: Chris Dawn Jr. and Beau Sparks. The Longhorns paid proper respect to their opponent throughout the week; head coach Steve Sarkisian even called the Bobcats a potential College Football Playoff candidate.
Sarkisian's offense will be a difficult test for Texas State defensive coordinator Will Windham to solve. The Bobcats are fielding a new scheme and have to go toe-to-toe with one of the best offensive play-callers in the nation.

The draw for the second round of the 2026/27 DFB-Pokal took place at the German Football Museum in Dortmund on Saturday evening, producing four ties between Bundesliga clubs and an intriguing reunion between defending champions Bayern Munich and 1. FC Magdeburg.

This time, however, the underdogs will have to attempt another upset at the Allianz Arena.
Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund host Werder Bremen while 1. FC Cologne welcome Union Berlin. Hamburger SV face Eintracht Frankfurt at the Volksparkstadion and Bundesliga newcomers SC Paderborn host VfB Stuttgart in the remaining top-flight encounter.
Three sides from below Germany's top two divisions remain in the competition. Regionalliga outfit SSV Jeddeloh II, who stunned relegated Bundesliga club Heidenheim 5-2 in the opening round, were rewarded with a home tie against Hertha BSC. Rot-Weiss Essen host RB Leipzig while SG Sonnenhof Großaspach welcome FC Augsburg.
The second-round fixtures will be played on October 27 and 28. Exact kickoff times will be confirmed at a later date.

It's a "Traitors" love story.
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" veteran Phaedra Parks, 52, confirmed that she is dating "The Challenge" star CT Tamburello, 46, on a Sept. 4 episode of SiriusXM's "Jeff Lewis Live."
After host Jeff Lewis asked the attorney and legal **** yst if her relationship with Tamburello was platonic, she kept her response short and sweet: "No, it's not."
At first, she only confirmed she was seeing someone named "CT," before a radio listener phoned in to connect the dots and ask if it was her "castle daddy" from "The Traitors" Season 2, which she and Tamburello competed in.
However, she decided to keep the details of their relationship minimal, only teasing, "I can't give this to you. I've gotta save it for the world."

A Rhode Island-based medical equipment company has terminated an employee after the individual was linked to a racist message sent to Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby, adding another chapter to growing concerns about harassment directed at WNBA players. The development follows an internal investigation prompted by Hamby's public disclosure of the message on social media, Yahoo! Sports reported.
The controversy began in late August when Hamby shared a screenshot of a text message she said had been sent to her personal phone number. According to reports, the message included racist language and offensive imagery. Hamby posted the sender's phone number on X and asked followers whether anyone recognized it, prompting widespread attention online.
Social media users subsequently identified the individual believed to have sent the message and connected the person to Acclaro Medical. After learning of the allegations, the company announced that the employee had been suspended while an investigation was conducted. Days later, Acclaro confirmed the individual was no longer employed by the company.
In statements provided to media outlets, Acclaro Medical said it condemns racism, harassment, hate speech and discrimination. The company also emphasized that the conduct allegedly involved does not reflect its values or standards.

"Severance" star Adam Scott has opened up about his childhood growing up in Santa Cruz, CA, revealing how his parents' very different homes—and the city's famous beachfront boardwalk—helped shape his journey to Hollywood.
Long before Scott found fame on shows like "Severance" and "Parks and Recreation," he was splitting his childhood between two modest, single-story homes in the California coastal city after his parents divorced when he was just 5 years old.
"My parents lived in coastal Santa Cruz. They divorced when I was 5, so I divided my time between their houses," the 53-year-old "The Whisper Man" actor told the Wall Street Journal.
Despite their separation, Scott said his parents went to great lengths to shield him and his older siblings, David and Shannon, from any animosity.

Sep. 1—PARKSTON, S.D. — For three seasons, Mason Jervik has been one of the players Parkston turns to with the football.
Now, with his high school career in its final chapter, the 6-foot, 165-pound senior running back is determined to make the most of every carry.
"It's just crazy to think this is the final year, but I am excited to make the most of it," Jervik said.
Jervik has been a key piece of the Trojans' offense since his sophomore season when he took over as a starting running back and quickly established himself as one of Parkston's most dependable playmakers. He has continued to grow into that role, pairing his vision and explosiveness in the backfield with the experience of running behind an offensive line he credits for much of his success.
Through two games so far in the season, Jervik has helped lead the Class 9AA top-ranked Trojans to a 2-0 start, with both victories coming on the road. Parkston opened the season with a 54-24 victory at Hill City before traveling to Platte-Geddes on Aug. 28 and knocking off the then-No. 3-ranked Black Panthers 30-6.

Michael Harris II's clutch hit sparks wild controversy with Rockies originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Colorado Rockies Cole Carrigg found himself back on the field sooner than expected Sunday, one day after making an inappropriate gesture toward Atlanta Braves fans at Truist Park.
Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer initially indicated Carrigg would sit for "a couple days" following Saturday's incident, but the punishment ultimately lasted only six innings. Carrigg entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning with Colorado trailing Atlanta 2-1.
The controversy began during Saturday's 2-1 loss when Carrigg attempted a diving catch on a ball hit by Michael Harris II in the eighth inning. Carrigg narrowly missed the ball, allowing two runs to score and giving Atlanta the lead.
Moments after getting to his feet, Carrigg was shown on the broadcast extending his middle finger toward the stands.
