Roy Hibbert was again a factor for Indiana with 14 points, five rebounds and three blocks. Washington made only 24 field goals, another team postseason worst, on 73 attempts, 32.9 percent. That included 4 of 16 on 3s, and it didn't get much better on free throws, where the Wizards were 11 of 21. So much for the bandwagon-hopping in Washington. There were boos on occasion, and most of the fans started heading to the exits after George's 3 with 3½ minutes left made it 75-58....

Rodgers’ foot was all over social media on Wednesday, and the Packers star decided to make the new meme part of his Twitter profile. But why are there images of Rodgers’ foot circulating the internet, you ask? On Tuesday, Rodgers joined “The Pat McAfee Show” to discuss his COVID-19 symptoms after he contracted the virus on Nov. 3. It was discovered after he tested positive for COVID-19 that he wasn’t vaccinated, and the nine-time Pro Bowler has found his name in the headlines ever since....

The most viral moment in Sunday’s critical loss to Carolina came off the field, where defensive tackle B.J.

Manning’s mediocre stats, though, are reflected in the props posted on Las Vegas oddsboard for Sunday night’s Packers at Broncos game (8:25 p.m. ET, NBC), and there’s value on OVER his total passing yards prop, according to Fantasy Alarm’s DFS projections. Fantasy Alarm projects Manning to throw for 297.4 yards, well OVER the 262.5 posted at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. Green Bay is a short favorite on the road Sunday night (the line hovering in the -2....

Nope. New general manager A.J. Preller has totally remade his lineup, while sacrificing neither arms for the top of the rotation nor the best prospects from the Padres’ farm system — catcher Austin Hedges, right-hander Matt Wisler and outfielder Hunter Renfroe. With Matt Kemp and Justin Upton anchoring the batting order, supplemented by acquisitions Will Middlebrooks, Wil Myers and Derek Norris, plus holdover Jedd Gyorko, the Padres should have a formidable attack to go with their strong pitching....

Pinch hitter Tommy Medica singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Padres beat the Mariners 2-1 in their first home game since Gwynn died of cancer Monday.

I think everybody handles what has happened with Tony a little bit differently....

Anderson Espinoza, the prospect Boston traded for Pomeranz, has already been compared to Red Sox legend Pedro Martinez.

The Jerusalem clashes and exchanges of fire in the Gaza Strip prompted fierce condemnation from the American left, while Palestinian activists seek support from America’s minority communities, which they consider natural allies in their battle with the Israeli state.

Although Palmer’s being sacked (13 times) at a much lesser rate than the 58 times that quartet was taken down, he’s still struggling when pressured behind an Arizona offensive line that still is near the bottom of the league....
