MILWAUKEE -- Finding something Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't done yet in his career may be even more difficult than trying to guard him. The Toronto Raptors couldn't do the latter on Sunday night in the Milwaukee Bucks' 118-111 win, and as a result Antetokounmpo did the former. Antetokounmpo finished with 22...

The Marlins reassigned Perez to minor-league camp Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. The Marlins' top pitching prospect won't be included on the Opening Day roster, but the 19-year-old right-hander remains a candidate to make his MLB debut in 2023 if he stays healthy and continues to excel at the upper levels of the minors. Perez was hit hard in spring training -- he surrendered nine earned runs, 14 hits and two home runs in 10.2 innings -- but his control was solid (10:2 K:BB) in his limited sample of action. Miami hasn't indicated whether Perez will return to Double-A Pensacola to begin the campaign or if he'll report to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Vespi was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Monday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports. Vespi is just now returning from sports hernia surgery that he underwent in January, and the southpaw will need more time to get ready for the regular season. The 27-year-old will likely be an up-and-down option for Baltimore throughout the 2023 campaign.

Chris Finch said that while Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will not play Monday in New York, his return "feels really, really close," Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. It was reported on March 15 that Towns was expected to return to the floor "in the coming weeks," and another...

Windler had 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a block across 37 minutes in Saturday's win over Long Island.

Brunson (foot) is officially available for Saturday's game against Denver. Brunson was expected to play, barring a setback in pregame warmups, and he managed to get through the activities unscathed. He should be expected to regain his spot in the starting lineup following his three-game absence and be full-go. His return will likely knock Immanuel Quickley back to the second unit.

After letting go of Amari Cooper last offseason, the Dallas Cowboys reportedly dealt for a perimeter weapon on Sunday to line up opposite CeeDee Lamb; for eerily similar compensation. According to the NFL's official account, Dallas sent a 2023 fifth round pick and a 2024 6th round pick to the ...

Markkanen (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Utah beat writer Ryan Miller reports. Markkanen missed a game on March 5 with the back issue, and while he played in the next five games, it appears it's still giving him some trouble. He'll test how he's feeling at Monday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Rudy Gay. Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker would also stand to see a bump in usage sans Markkanen.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Questionable Monday

Agbaji notched 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 victory over the Celtics. Agbaji put together a sold shooting performance, which was sorely needed amid Jordan Clarkson's (finger) absence. The highly-touted Kanasas product started the past eight games with mixed results, but Saturday's effort was the best stat line of the group. The slashing sharpshooter depends on success beyond the arc to pad his scoring, and although he's only shot 32.1 percent from downtown during his starting stint, his overall 3-point percentage in his rookie season is about four points higher.

Kelenic was lifted from Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Brewers with a possible injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but Kelenic was pinch-hit for in the third inning, indicating it's likely injury-related.

They say you should never underestimate the heart of a champion, and the Golden State Warriors may have proven that last season when they defied expectations to win their fourth title in eight years. Eventually, though, every champion becomes a former champion. No dynasty stands forever. Father Time remains undefeated. His victims rarely accept defeat gracefully.
