Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles is the latest gem from NBA's outstanding rookie class
TORONTO — Collin Murray-Boyles either didn’t hear the conversation or didn’t care. Given how he carries himself, both are equally plausible.RJ Barrett and Jamal Shead, Murray-Boyles’ teammates, were talking about the rookie’s unusual sturdiness for a first-year player. You know how “Once he gets stronger…” leads most projections about a prospect’s potential? Well, that doesn’t apply to Murray-Boyles, who, listed at 6-foot-7 and 245 pounds, is not getting any help from the league’s trusted measur...
Tigers by the numbers: 10 stats that explain an up-and-down start
DETROIT — Is there anything trickier than deciphering baseball in April?The Tigers so far have a 15-14 record. They have had moments of great excitement, like Spencer Torkelson’s walk-off home run and a 6-0 homestand earlier in the month. They have also had puzzling lows, like a four-game sweep in Minnesota and a maddening blown lead Friday night against the Reds.The sample is growing larger, but it all seems very much like a team still sorting out the kinks.Here are 10 key numbers that explain...
Arsenal need Kai Havertz alternative to offer more than Viktor Gyokeres. What are the options?
Kai Havertz was not the only one feeling a sense of resignation when he was forced off with injury after 34 minutes against Newcastle United on Saturday. Those watching inside and outside the Emirates Stadium knew the dynamic of the match was about to shift.Havertz had started Arsenal’s last two games up front and helped provide a platform that allowed for longer spells of possession and attacks. Coming on in his place against Newcastle was Viktor Gyokeres — and his performance would not have su...

Post-draft NFL Power Rankings: Rams slide but Eagles, Steelers, Lions rise after makeovers
NFL teams have completed the bulk of their offseason overhauls, and the power rankings are back to see how the balance of power in the league has shifted.There are several significant adjustments in these rankings based on each team’s haul from March’s free-agent period and this past weekend’s NFL Draft.Advertisement
The Knicks' offense flowed with Karl-Anthony Towns as the hub. Can they keep it up?
Signs of an adjusted offense were obvious just after tip-off. The New York Knicks had fallen behind 2-1 in their Eastern Conference first-round series. The Atlanta Hawks had a chance to come within a win of ending New York’s season. And so, a desperate team turned to a place it hadn’t reached so often since autumn.Advertisement
If Arvell Reese wasn't available, who would the Giants have taken?: Draft notebook
The Titans threw a curveball when they took Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth pick. That selection blew up many mock drafts, including the “zillions” of simulations conducted by the Giants.It was so unlikely that Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese would make it to the fifth pick that it seemed odd that the team even used one of its 30 pre-draft visits on the 6-foot-4, 241-pounder. Even if Reese dropped to No. 5, it seemed like that would invite a trade back by the Giants, who...

Ranking Steelers' UDFAs: A DT with elite testing numbers, a national champ, 2 TEs
The Pittsburgh Steelers used their league-high 12 draft picks to add 10 players over the weekend. But they weren’t done there.On Monday, the team announced they’ve agreed to terms with six undrafted free agents. While those players face a long climb up the depth chart, look no further than the running back room for proof that it’s possible to make the 53-man roster without hearing your name called at the draft. Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle started as UDFAs. Both have earned multiple contracts i...

The veteran is backing that claim in style this IPL, delivering when it matters most, especially in the RCB vs DC clash on Monday.Bhuvneshwar returned stunning figures of 3 for 5 in three overs, playing a key role in bundling Delhi Capitals out for just 75, the lowest total of the season so far.

Astros pitcher Tatsuya Imai hasn't taken to MLB right away. Is some of it the team he chose?
In Toronto, Kazuma Okamoto wakes up and wonders whether he’s in Tokyo. The Toronto Blue Jays third baseman feels at home there. He’s enjoying trying new foods. His favorites so far are sandwiches and quesadillas.In Chicago, Munetaka Murakami is homering at a rate no Japanese-born player ever has to begin an MLB career. As Murakami rounds the bases, his third-base coach celebrates by sheathing an imaginary samurai sword. The White Sox have fallen for Murakami, and he loves them back.Then there...
