The 16-season NBA veteran scored 41 points as the Phoenix Suns defeated the L.A. Clippers 130-103 to win the series. He was also the unwilling participant in an incident that resulted in Clippers guard Patrick Beverley being ejected from the game in the fourth quarter. As the teams returned toward their benches for a time-out, Paul briefly looked at Beverley before walking past him. While it is unclear from TV footage whether Paul and Beverley exchanged words, something clearly irked the latter, who proceeded to push the Suns star to the floor with a two-handed shove in the back, sparking a minor fracas on the court....

Rex Burkhead and Mike Gillislee are inactive for Saturday’s game at Gillette Stadium. Although both backs practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday, they will not face the Titans. Burkhead, who injured his knee against the Pittsburgh Steelers last month and has not played since, has 518 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns this season. Gillislee, who is second on the Patriots with 383 rushing yards, has been dealing with a knee injury he suffered against the Buffalo Bills on December 24....

Coach Bill Belichick is sticking with Cam Newton at quarterback as he tries to keep getting the better of Adam Gase. The Jets are set again to turn to backup Joe Flacco with Sam Darnold dealing with an aggravation of his right shoulder injury. The Patriots, meanwhile, will continue to be without their best defensive player, cornerback Stephon Gilmore, missing a second straight game with a knee injury. Newton also will be without his two best wide receivers, N’Keal Harry and Julian Edelman....

Rookie Mac Jones is looking good at QB for the Patriots with the running game and defense also playing at high level. Falcons veteran counterpart Matt Ryan is struggling with an inconsistent season, given his dwindling weapons in a new offense. Will the Patriots stay rolling or will the Falcons “rise up” to get off the mat, just like they did against the Saints two weeks ago? Here’s everything to know about betting on Patriots vs....

Chung will miss Sunday’s showdown in Philadelphia due to two injuries (heel and chest), after the 32-year-old had initially been listed as questionable. A three-time Super Bowl champion, Chung – who spent a year with the Eagles in 2013 – was limited all week in practice. Rookie running back Damien Harris will also miss the road game against the Eagles (5-4) because of a hamstring problem. The Patriots (8-1) are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Baltimore Ravens prior to their bye week....

Where are you? I’m in Philly. So it’s cold. Uh-huh. I love it like this. You do? I love snow. I love rain. I love dark days. I don’t like sun. I don’t like water or sand. You must love snow because you look good in a coat. I like my coats. I don’t want PETA to get mad at me, but I love chinchilla. It’s so soft. I love cashmere....

The Celtics officially suspended Udoka on Thursday, with his future as head coach up in the air.

Payet engineered a £25million move back to the Stade Velodrome having only left to join West Ham in 2015, his departure from London Stadium coming in acrimonious circumstances. Mignolet has last laugh against Chelsea The deal was completed on Sunday and the 2016 Ballon d’Or nominee was named among Rudi Garcia’s substitutes for the visit of Lyon. Supporters chanted Payet’s name before kick-off, and within 24 minutes they had another reason to cheer when Rod Fanni headed in Maxime Lopez’s free-kick....

My view on this is, I think it’s great that student athletes have an opportunity to be compensated. I also think there are a lot of concerns that we haven’t taken into account. This is something that’s going to largely benefit student athletes who were going to be paid anyway—the top 1 percent—and where you have student athletes that are not in those—what we refer to as revenue-generating sports, men’s basketball and football—by and large, they’re left out of this....

The Italian led Chelsea to the Premier League title in his first campaign in charge at Stamford Bridge, but now faces a battle to secure Champions League qualification with the Blues fifth in the Premier League, five points behind Tottenham.

Coconato, president of the Religious Liberties Coalition, regularly speaks out about the “stolen” election and has pushed people not to give up praying for change. During a now-deleted live stream posted to YouTube on Wednesday, Coconato acknowledged that Joe Biden was president, but said he believes Trump will serve another term. “People say, ‘Well, you still think President Trump might become president again?’” Coconato said during Wednesday’s live stream. “I do, because I prayed about it, and I’ll tell you what God said to me was kind of shocking....

Sales for the company reached $800 million in 2017, according to Forbes, making Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard a billionaire. “As COVID-19 spreads—and is now officially a pandemic—we are taking additional safety measures to protect our employees and customers,” read a Friday statement from the company. “The scale of impact is still unknown, and we want to do our part to protect our community especially while testing availability is unknown.”...

Ewing said in an interview with Sportsnet 590 The FAN that he would be fine with abolishing the practice. The reason?

He proposed Sept. 9, 2020, inside a suite at Arrowhead Stadium, the couple surrounded by flowers. Matthews was showing off a massive engagement ring — one likely far more expensive than the championship bling on Mahomes’ finger.

Nothing in particular about them screams out “No. 1 defense.” Two starters made the Pro Bowl, which is impressive but not mind-blowing (the Titans are among the teams that also had two Pro Bowl defenders). There’s no segment of it that comes off as dominant, nothing they do that says, “You can’t try that on the Patriots” or “You’d better not let them take over.” In fact, they were all but impenetrable the second half of the season, since their 31-24 loss at home to the Seahawks....

John Jastremski and Jim McNally have been suspended since May and can only return to their jobs with approval from NFL senior vice president Troy Vincent.

For the sake of the franchise, let’s hope Bill Belichick disappoints his team owner. STEELE: Revis’ best free-agency fits New England does not need an expensive, fading free-agent cornerback. It’s convenient to think Belichick would make room for Revis’ return, but signing older players with little versatility and with diminishing skills has not been the coach’s style. The Patriots do not need to stick it to the Jets again, either — New England still has Tom Brady to rip apart an even weaker, Revis-less pass defense for several more seasons....
