Although Paris Saint-Germain hasn't announced the sacking of sporting director Leonardo, reports indicate that he is out and that Luis Campos will soon ...

The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will play on Sunday night with a trip to the NBA Finals on the line, but there will be a different play-by-play announcer on the TV broadcast. An assistant coach in the NBA since 2011, Ham has coached with the Lakers, Hawks and Bucks. Ham had been with the Bucks since 2018 and was a part of Mike Budenholzer's staff when Milwaukee won the NBA championship in 2021. On Dallas’ second goal of that Game 6, a pile of players crashed to the ice in front of the Flames net with Tanev ending up on the bottom. "I just feel like it’s something I had to do, with me being from Texas and having such a huge platform and being a father, a brother, an older brother to my little sister and my little brother and being an older cousin," Boyd explained while speaking with The Dallas Morning News. "Just thinking how could it happen? This production translates to a 116 OPS+ and 118 wRC+ — still solidly above average, if below the superstar numbers Rendon posted with the Nationals and in his first season (2020) in Anaheim. It could be that the best is yet to come for Rendon this season, as his .358 xwOBA is well ahead of his .329 wOBA. The Angels have been one of the league’s better-hitting teams, though the injury bug has started to bite some key bats. Turner will turn 30 on June 30 in the first year of his new contract, and it’s reasonable to expect that he could find a lucrative eight-year deal in free agency. Held out of Game 7 against Dallas and Games 1 to 3 against the Oilers, Tanev returned to the Flames lineup for Games 4 and 5. Per HerHoopStats, Howard ranks as the fifth-highest player in win shares this season, and ESPN Stats and Info points out that her 83 points in her first four games put her in the same conversation as future Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi to start a career, and the best start in Dream team history. Rendon suffered the injury while taking a swing in Thursday’s game, and he didn’t play in Friday night’s contest between the Jays and Angels. Tyler Wade stepped in as the starting third baseman, and with Rendon sidelined, it would seem like Wade and Matt Duffy would form a platoon at the hot corner until Rendon is ready to return. He’s only reached double-digit homers once in his career, though that’s due to injuries and to the shortened 2020 season (when he played in 55 of 60 games and popped eight homers). On a rate basis, however, Nimmo’s career .176 ISO (slugging minus average) is comfortably north of league average. The commonly held belief is that Correa will opt out after the 2022 season and return to the market in search of the long-term mega-deal that eluded him this past offseason. MLBTR will take periodic looks at the top of the class from now through the remainder of the season, and it’s of course worth noting that with about 75% of games left to be played, a lot can change.
