Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:21 GMT

Kevin Durant can’t catch a break.Durant rolled his ankle in pregame warmups ahead of Phoenix’s 132-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.The Suns announced Durant sustained an ankle sprain, though they didn’t specify what grade, and said he will be reevaluated in three weeks.It’s a tough blow for the superstar scorer who only forced a trade to the Suns after Kyrie Irving’s decision to request a trade ahead of the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline — a move Durant said blindsided him in a February podcast appearance.Durant was coming off of a 37-point effort on 12-of-17 shooting in Phoenix’s victory over Luka Doncic, Irving and the Dallas Mavericks.It seemed he was finally settling into a playing rhythm before rolling his ankle on Wednesday.“He’s out there working his tail off, getting ready for the game, and he twists his ankle,” Suns head coach Monty Williams said after the game. “So I mean, you can’t ...

Norwell blanks Martha’s Vineyard, Clippers sail into semifinal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:21 GMT

KINGSTON — Perhaps the worst kept secret in Division 4 boys hockey is that once Norwell scores once, the Clippers are an immediate threat to do it again. This recipe for success was in full effect in the top-ranked Clippers’ 5–0 victory over No. 8 Martha’s Vineyard in the state quarterfinals.Norwell (23–1–0) moves on to the semifinal where a matchup with No. 4 Grafton (22-2–0) awaits them. The Clippers reached this point a year ago, falling to eventual champion Sandwich in double overtime. Norwell coach Jim Casagrande said that the memory of that game is still with his team.“Last year stung,” Casagrande said. “It’s a new year and it’s a different opponent. We’re excited to get to this point but (the players) are done with it. They are ready to go now.”The final score was not the true story of the game, as the Clippers took nearly 28 minutes of game time before getting on the board. Much of this can be attributed to Vineyarders goaltender Zach Mathias, who stopped the onslaught...

Wide receivers on front burner of Joe Schoen’s sweeping Giants offseason plan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:21 GMT

Publicly, Giants GM Joe Schoen has played down the team’s glaring wide receiver need at every turn.“I know people want to talk about offense and the receivers a lot, but we’re still building a team in all three phases: we’re gonna look to upgrade offensively, defensively and our special teams unit,” Schoen said Wednesday.And he’s telling the truth: the Giants don’t have a one-track mind.Sources say the team is in the market for inside linebackers, defensive linemen, corners and interior offensive linemen approaching next week’s start of free agency and April’s NFL Draft.There is even optimism, per sources, that the Giants will be able to re-sign safety and captain Julian Love. They’ve already started talking with defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence’s reps about an extension, too.But don’t be fooled: especially after paying Daniel Jones $82 million over the next two seasons, upgrading the wide receiver position is a...
