The Milwaukee Bucks are bracing to be without their two-time MVP when postseason play opens up this weekend. Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be out for the start of the Bucks' first-round series against the Indiana Pacers due to a left calf strain, ESPN reported Tuesday. The eight-time All-Star forward could return later in the series, with the team holding optimism that continued treatment might have him ready to play by then, ESPN added in its report.Antetokounmpo suffered the calf injury in the Bucks' win over the Boston Celtics on April 9, falling down as he was running up the court to get on offense. As he grabbed his calf, Antetokounmpo left the game after being tended to. An MRI later revealed that he avoided Achilles damage, but suffered a soleus strain, The Athletic reporte...

As long as the calendar says April, I’ll continue to look at the MLB standings through a lens of skepticism and patience. Power rankings at this stage of the season are something of a fool’s errand. I feel reasonably confident about the placement of the first four teams and the last five or so in these rankings. The 20 teams in between? Uh, less so.Nevertheless, here I am, ready to power rank the Major League Baseball teams. This week, rather than any futile attempt to justify my rankings that will surely look foolish in a matter of days, I’m highlighting one player from each team who has exceeded expectations in the early going and could prove especially valuable to his team if he can sustain his April performance into the summer.I was on the skeptical side when Atlanta signed Reynaldo L...

Getty New Michigan coach Dusty May hasn't landed anybody out of the college basketball transfer portal just yet, but that could be changing in the near future. Obviously, the two biggest names out there for Michigan are a pair of guys May coached at Florida Atlantic: Johnell Davis and Vladislav Goldin. The high-scoring Davis and Goldin are certainly priorities. From the sounds of it, Goldin should eventually be joining the fold. The Wolverines are right there with Davis as he explores his options. However, their efforts extend far beyond those two. Yale trans...

LOS ANGELES — It was only a few weeks ago that Shohei Ohtani was laughing in the dugout alongside Ippei Mizuhara during the Dodgers' season opener in Seoul, blissfully unaware at the time of the alleged deception, lies and more than $16 million theft that would lead to his longtime interpreter getting fired by the Dodgers and charged with bank fraud by federal prosecutors. Mizuhara appeared in U.S. District Court last Friday with shackles around his ankles as he surrendered to authorities after being accused of stealing millions from Ohtani to pay off illegal gambling debts. A few hours later, "The Show Goes On" blared from the Dodger Stadium speakers. Ohtani stepped to the plate and heeded the advice of his walk-up song. In his first at-bat after learning about the charges against Mizuh...
