The Suns face the Clippers on the second night of a back-to-back. KD is listed as probable with a hamstring strain. Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant is listed probable for Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Durant is averaging 29.6 points — fifth-most in the NBA — and has the best 3-point percentage (47.3) in the league. Durant against the Grizzlies said he felt “alright” after…
The injury bug has hit the Toronto Raptors. For the first time this season, Toronto will be without Jakob Poeltl who has been ruled out with a left ankle sprain ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Poeltl sustained the injury Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors when he stepped awkwardly on the foot of Pascal Siakam. He stayed down briefly but remained in the game. On the heels of the OG Anunoby trade that sent Precious Achiuwa to New York, Toronto is now awfully thin in the frontcourt. Poeltl is the team’s only traditional center with…

LANDOVER, Md. – There is a boatload to like about Cowboys 38, Commanders 10. Start with the resiliency after two fluke-ish plays, falling behind 10-7 to a now 4-13 team late Sunday afternoon, yet recovering to score on five of their final six possessions. And the one they didn’t, Brandon Aubrey’s first own missed field of the season bouncing off the left upright, though coming back on the final possession to hit from 50 yards.

In the third quarter of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night, LeBron James threw down a thunderous poster dunk on Paul George. The clip unsurprisingly went viral on social media, and so did James Harden’s reaction to the dunk. You certainly can understand that reaction, as it was an incredible poster dunk. A player doing that in their 21st season in the NBA would have been unheard of previously, but LeBron has shown time and time again that he is an exception to the norm in every sense of the way.…
DETROIT — The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams rocked the NFL world three years ago with an offseason trade.

Stafford and the Rams won a Super Bowl championship in their first year together. And now the veteran gunslinger had led a reshaped roster back to the postseason for the second time in three years. Goff has resurrected his career while leading the Lions to new…
Jordan Love’s accomplishment in his first season as the team’s full-time starter—beating a rising divisional opponent at home in a win-and-in game for the postseason—made the Green Bay Packers eligible for the playoffs, something Aaron Rodgers was unable to do in his previous one. On Sunday afternoon, January 7, love was almost perfect as the Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 17-9 to end a three-game winning streak that gave Green Bay (9-8) the No. 7 seed and the final Wildcard in the NFC playoffs. With a rating of 128.6, he completed 27 of 32 passes for 316 yards and two…
