CHICAGO -- After the combine measurements and testing on Monday and two days of scrimmages on Tuesday and Wednesday, the competitive portion of the 2024 NBA Draft Combine has wrapped up at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. That doesn't mean the combine is over quite yet. Various agencies will hold their...

2024 NBA Draft Combine: Reed Sheppard, Zach Edey among biggest stock-risers

Denver, CO

Murray is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf strain. After losing the first two games of the series, the Nuggets have won three straight and are on the verge of advancing to the Western Conference Finals for a second consecutive campaign. Murray scored at least 20 points in all five games against the Lakers during the opening-round series but has reached that mark only once versus Minnesota.

Merrill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies. The Rockies are sending southpaw Austin Gomber to the hill, so Padres manager Mike Shildt decided it would be a good day to give the left-handed-hitting Merrill a breather. Jose Azocar will patrol center field Wednesday.

Hakanpaa (lower body) will remain on the shelf for Game 5 against the Avalanche on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. Hakanpaa hasn't played since March 16 versus the Kings, a stretch of 24 games on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. At this point, until he shows up at practice, Hakanpaa should probably be considered out indefinitely. Even if cleared to play, the defenseman is far from a lock for a spot in the lineup anyway.

The White Sox designated Ortega for assignment Wednesday. The veteran outfielder went 1-for-14 at the plate during his time with the White Sox. Ortega will likely clear waivers and could report to Triple-A Charlotte, but he has enough tenure to decline a potential outright assignment and elect free agency if he prefers.

The 2024 Preakness Stakes is only a few days away, and Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan is going for the second leg of the Triple Crown.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

It was revealed on Monday that Nebraska's clash with Deion Sanders and Colorado on Saturday, Sept. 7 will air in prime time with a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on NBC in Week 2 at Memorial Stadium. The former Big 12 rivals will meet for the 73rd time in the final game of a four-game home-and-home series that was agreed to back in 2018.

Judge went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, three doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Twins. Judge opened the scoring with his first-inning solo shot and added an RBI double in the seventh. The outfielder has locked in with power over his last 10 games, going 16-for-36 (.444) with five homers, seven doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in that span. He was batting .207 at the end of April, but he's up to a .255/.386/.540 slash line with 11 homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored two stolen bases and 13 doubles over 44 contests. It's good to see Judge bounce back after the slow start, and getting him in a groove makes the Yankees' already-strong offense even more dangerous.
