Could Jayson Tatum's injury end this iteration of the Celtics?

1 day ago | foxsports.com | Melissa Rohlin

Jayson Tatum's pain was palpable. After lunging toward the ball with 2:58 left in Game 4 of the Boston Celtics' second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks on Monday, he collapsed onto the court. While lying on the hardwood at Madison Square Garden, he writhed 360-degrees. He grabbed at his right leg. He curled his head into his neck.
The Mavericks winning the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes gives Nico Harrison a second chance

2 days ago | foxsports.com | Melissa Rohlin

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison just got thrown a life raft fashioned from ping-pong balls. The Mavericks, who had a 1.8 percent chance of winning Monday's NBA Draft lottery, won the top pick in the 2025 draft and the sweepstakes for consensus top-pick Cooper Flagg with a combination of four ping-pong balls.
2025 MLB power rankings: Phillies, Cardinals and AL Central are heating up

2 days ago | foxsports.com | Rowan Kavner

In honor of Mother’s Day, this week’s edition of power rankings features one person from every team worth recognizing. And in honor of the Cardinals and Twins, who each enter the week having won eight straight games, that person will be someone who’s surging. Both St. Louis and Minnesota have understandably taken sizable jumps forward, though neither has quite cracked the top 10, which still features plenty of movement this week. Here are the latest FOX Sports MLB power rankings.
After Derek Carr's retirement, where do Saints go from here at quarterback?

4 days ago | foxsports.com | Greg Auman

The Derek Carr era in New Orleans has ended. The 34-year-old quarterback is retiring, citing a shoulder injury that will require surgery and would have forced him to miss the 2025 season. He went 14-13 in his two-year run with the Saints, limited by injuries and playing through others, ultimately unable to be the quarterback to get New Orleans back to the playoffs for the first time since Drew Brees' retirement after the 2020 season.
2025 Big Bets report: Bettor turns $200 into $290k on 6-leg parlay

5 days ago | foxsports.com | Patrick Everson

The big story lately around betting on NBA playoff odds is the unparalleled success of second-round underdogs — not just covering the point spread, but winning games outright. Underdogs went 6-0 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the first six games of the second round. That included the Indiana Pacers going 2-0 on the road against Cleveland, and even more stunningly, the New York Knicks doing likewise against the defending champion Boston Celtics.
USWNT Footnotes: 'Triple Espresso' on hold as Mallory Swanson announces pregnancy

5 days ago | foxsports.com | Laken Litman

Editor's Note: USWNT Footnotes takes you inside the major talking points around the U.S. women's national team, the NWSL, European leagues, and all across American women's soccer. The biggest news of the week is that Mallory Swanson announced on social media that she and her husband, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson, are expecting their first child. Swanson’s absence from both the U.S. women's national team and the Chicago Stars this calendar year now makes perfect sense.
Why changing managers won't fix the Pirates' bigger problems

6 days ago | foxsports.com | Rowan Kavner

Off to the same miserable record they had through 38 games five years ago, in what was supposed to represent the start of a rebuild in Pittsburgh, the Pirates tossed manager Derek Shelton overboard on Thursday. At the end of the 2019 season, new general manager Ben Cherington tabbed Shelton as the skipper to right the ship of a Pirates team that had not been to the playoffs since 2015. In year one under the new regime, Pittsburgh began the COVID-shortened 2020 season 12-26 and finished it 19-41.
Despite 0-2 hole for Celtics, 'this would be the time to buy Boston stock'

6 days ago | foxsports.com | Sam Panayotovich

Before the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks began their best-of-seven series in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Celtics were a whopping favorite at the betting window. It was almost disrespectful. Boston was as high as -900 in the market, implying around a 90% chance the defending champs would emerge victorious. It also meant you had to risk $900 to win $100 on the C’s. Obviously, New York had other ideas.
LAFC, Inter Miami among 5 MLS teams worth $1B in soccer's global Top 50

6 days ago | foxsports.com | Doug McIntyre

On the field, Major League Soccer teams are still some distance away from standing toe-to-toe with their counterparts in the English Premier League and other elite European circuits. Off of it, MLS franchise values are already world-class. Sports business industry news outlet Sportico on Wednesday published its latest annual ranking of the Top 50 most valuable clubs in global soccer. MLS has 19 representatives on the list. Meantime, the Premier League accounts for just 14 spots. What gives?
MLB roundtable: Is the Cubs' hot start too good to be true?

6 days ago | foxsports.com | Rowan Kavner

With nearly a quarter of the MLB regular season in the books, some fans are starting to talk themselves into their team making a deep run in October, while others have started looking ahead to the offseason. This week, FOX Sports' MLB reporters Rowan Kavner and Deesha Thosar take a look at which teams' hot starts are for real, and which ones are just too good to be true. 1.
