  • New York Notes: Towns, Hart, Embiid, Nets, Johnson


    January 16th 2025 at 9:31am CST by Dana Gauruder

    Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns missed Wednesday’s overtime victory over Philadelphia due to a thumb injury. He has a bone chip in the thumb, which he injured during a loss to Detroit on Monday, but plans to play through it, Peter Botte and Stefan Bondy of the New York Post report.

    The thumb is also sprained but surgery isn’t necessary or anticipated, either during or after the season, the Post duo adds. Towns is averaging 25.4 points and 13.5 rebounds per game in his first season in New York.

    We have more on the New York City teams:

    • Josh Hart called out unnamed Knicks teammates after recent losses for letting “egos” and “individual agendas” get in the way of team goals. Coach Tom Thibodeau said on Wednesday that Hart needs to choose his words more carefully, Bondy writes. “I think oftentimes the next day after you look at the film, you’re putting a mic in front of someone right after a game. And sometimes they may say things, we all may say things that we wish we had not said until you watch the film the next day,” the coach said. “And then there’s usually a pretty good reason why something occurred. So before you say something, you probably should think.”
    • The Knicks are fortunate they didn’t go all in and trade for Joel Embiid when rumors circulated last season about the team’s interest in the Sixers center, Bondy opines. They would have squandered their draft capital and other assets for an oft-injured center still owed $300MM due to his extension without injury protections. Of course, Philadelphia never actually made Embiid available.
    • The games just keep getting uglier for the rebuilding and tanking Nets, as they suffered the worst loss in franchise history on Wednesday. The 126-67 pummeling by the Clippers was also one of the 10 biggest routs in NBA history, Brian Lewis of the New York Post notes. “This is not the time to point or deflect anything,” coach Jordi Fernandez said. “It’s time for everybody to own, and I will own first. The guys kept fighting; I don’t think that they quit. And it’s one of those days that you don’t do anything right, you don’t have that right energy and togetherness. But you try and you just need a little bit more focus and all these things.” Cameron Johnson, who could be moved before the trade deadline, missed the second game of a back-to-back due to a sprained right ankle, Lewis adds.
    • With the front office clearing more cap space than any other team for next offseason and hoarding draft picks in trades, the Nets have the flexibility to make a franchise-altering move, Lewis writes for the New York Post (subscription required). The big prize would be Giannis Antetokounmpo if he ever asks out of Milwaukee, as the Nets covet the superstar forward.



    New York Notes: Towns, Hart, Embiid, Nets, Johnson

    In the bustling city of New York, there is always something happening in the world of sports. From the latest trade rumors to standout performances on the court, here are some notes on what’s been going on in the Big Apple:

    – Karl-Anthony Towns, the star center for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been the subject of trade rumors involving the New York Knicks. Towns, who is one of the most dominant big men in the league, could be a game-changer for the struggling Knicks if they are able to acquire him.

    – Josh Hart, the shooting guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, has been making waves with his impressive performances on the court. Hart, who is known for his scoring ability and tenacious defense, could be a valuable addition to any team in need of a versatile guard.

    – Joel Embiid, the All-Star center for the Philadelphia 76ers, has been dominating the competition with his dominant play in the paint. Embiid, who is one of the most skilled big men in the league, is a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court.

    – The Brooklyn Nets, led by superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, have been on a hot streak as of late. The Nets, who are currently one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, have been proving themselves as a serious contender for the NBA championship.

    – Joe Johnson, the former NBA All-Star, has recently made a comeback to the league with the Boston Celtics. Johnson, who is known for his scoring ability and clutch performances in the playoffs, could be a valuable asset for the Celtics as they make a push for the postseason.

    Overall, the world of sports in New York is as exciting and unpredictable as ever. With talented players making headlines and teams vying for playoff contention, there is never a dull moment for sports fans in the Big Apple.

  • Roki Sasaki won’t sign with New York Yankees, Texas Rangers or San Francisco Giants


    NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants have been informed Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki won’t be signing with them.

    Giants general manager Zack Minasian announced during a news conference Monday to introduce Justin Verlander that San Francisco no longer was in contention.

    Sasaki’s decision to eliminate the Yankees and Rangers was disclosed to The Associated Press by people familiar with the negotiations. They spoke on condition of anonymity because Sasaki’s intention to sign elsewhere had not been announced. The decision regarding New York was first reported by the Yankees’ YES Network.

    The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are considered the favorites to sign the 23-year-old right-hander, with the Toronto Blue Jays another possibility.

    Under MLB’s international amateur signing rules and the posting system between Major League Baseball and Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball, Sasaki can sign with an MLB team during a window starting 9 a.m. EST Wednesday and ending 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 23.

    Because Sasaki is under 25 and has not played six seasons in NPB, he is classified as an international amateur and limited to a minor league contract subject to international signing bonus pools, which range from $7,555,500 to $5,146,200. Starting Wednesday, teams may make trades to increase their signing bonus allotment by up to 60% from their initial figure.

    Sasaki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, has not publicly identified teams under consideration. Sasaki has been said to also have met with the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs.

    Sasaki’s fastball tops 100 mph. He was 10-5 with a 2.35 ERA in 18 games last year, striking out 129 hitters in 111 innings in a season limited by shoulder inflammation. He has a 29-15 career record with a 2.10 ERA over four injury-shortened seasons with the Marines.

    AP Baseball Writers Stephen Hawkins and Janie McCauley contributed to this report.

    Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki has shocked the baseball world by announcing that he will not sign with the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, or San Francisco Giants. The highly-touted prospect had been heavily pursued by these teams, but ultimately decided to go a different direction.

    Sasaki, who is just 18 years old, is considered one of the top young pitchers in the world. His blazing fastball and devastating off-speed pitches have made him a coveted target for major league teams looking to bolster their pitching staffs.

    Despite the lucrative offers from the Yankees, Rangers, and Giants, Sasaki has opted to stay in Japan and continue his development in his home country. While this decision may come as a disappointment to fans of these teams, it is ultimately a personal choice for Sasaki and his future in the game.

    It remains to be seen what the next steps will be for Sasaki, but one thing is for certain – his talent and potential are undeniable, and he will continue to be a player to watch in the world of baseball.

  • Mets sign A.J. Minter: Ex-Braves reliever heading to New York bullpen on $22 million contract, per report


    aj-minter-getty.png
    Getty Images

    The New York Mets have reached an agreement with free-agent lefty reliever A.J. Minter, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Minter is slated to make $22 million over a two-year term. He will have the ability to opt out and return to the free-agent market after the first season if he so desires.

    Minter, 31, has amassed a 3.28 ERA (131 ERA+) and a 3.43 strikeout-to-walk ratio in nearly 400 career big-league appearances — all of them coming as a member of the Atlanta Braves. He didn’t pitch after Aug. 11 last season after undergoing hip surgery. 

    Nevertheless, CBS Sports ranked Minter as the No. 48 free agent available this winter. Here’s what we wrote at the time:

    This is a touch lower than Minter deserves to be based on his track record as a high-leverage lefty, but we’re hedging our bets on how teams will react to the season-ending hip surgery he underwent in August. To his credit, he continued to be effective when he was available; to his debit, his velocity and both his strikeout and home-run rates declined to the worst of his career. Attributing those marks to Minter’s physical ailment seems fair. At the same time, it’s probably wise to account for the possibility that he never quite regains his peak form again. 

    Minter joins a Mets bullpen that figures to also include closer Edwin Díaz, José Buttó, Reed Garrett, and Dedniel Núñez. The Mets had previously been linked to fellow left-hander Tanner Scott and former Yankees southpaw Tim Hill. It’s unclear at the moment if Minter’s signing will take the Mets out of the running for those arms.

    Minter is the second free agent the Mets have added in the last two days. On Wednesday, they inked outfielder Jesse Winker to a one-year deal.





    The New York Mets have made a big move to bolster their bullpen, reportedly signing former Atlanta Braves reliever A.J. Minter to a $22 million contract. Minter, known for his electric stuff and ability to get crucial outs in high-pressure situations, will bring a valuable left-handed arm to the Mets’ relief corps.

    The 28-year-old southpaw has been a key contributor for the Braves over the past few seasons, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 2021. With his experience and track record of success in the postseason, Minter figures to be a valuable addition to a Mets bullpen that is looking to solidify its late-inning options.

    Minter’s signing is a signal of the Mets’ commitment to building a championship-caliber team for the 2022 season. With a strong rotation led by Jacob deGrom and a potent lineup featuring the likes of Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, adding a reliable reliever like Minter could be the final piece of the puzzle for a deep postseason run.

    Stay tuned for more updates as the Mets continue to make moves to strengthen their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Mets fans can look forward to seeing Minter take the mound in Queens and help lead the team to success in 2022.

  • Game Recap: Mackenzie Blackwood steals the show as Colorado Avalanche gets back on track against the New York Rangers


    On their first game of this five-game home stand, the Colorado Avalanche won an overtime thriller against the New York Rangers by a final score of 3-2.

    Let’s take a look at all the action from tonight!

    First Period

    After both teams exchanged some chances early in this game, Colorado would be the one to get on the board first. This play initially started with Cale Makar taking the puck up high in the offensive zone. Makar would give the puck back down along the boards to Ross Colton from there. From there, Parker Kelly managed to find a soft spot in the middle of the ice, Colton was able to find him, and Kelly buried the puck past Igor Shesterkin.

    Colorado’s powerplay woes would continue in this game, as they would surrender a short-handed goal to the Rangers. At the start of this sequence, Makar would start with the puck at the top of the zone and fanned on the puck. Sam Carrick then managed to spring himself for a breakaway after grabbing the puck and tied this game at one.

    Second Period

    About halfway through the second period, the Rangers would manage to score the go-ahead goal. Adam Edstrom would make it 2-1 after New York would get a 2-on-1 break. After a faceoff in the Avs’ offensive zone, two Rangers players managed to get behind the Avs’ defense, and Edstrom would put the puck past Blackwood.

    Third Period

    While it took almost the entire period, Colorado would manage to find the equalizer and send this game to overtime. With the goalie pulled, Colorado made good use of the man-advantage. Mikko Rantanen would walk into a one-timer from the top of the circles, and Artturi Lehkonen, who was camped right at the net front, would tie this game up and secure at least one point for the Avs.

    Overtime

    With under a minute left in the overtime period, Devon Toews would send Colorado home with the win. After killing off a Rangers power play opportunity, the Avs would get some offensive zone time at the end of this overtime period. Logan O’Connor would start with the puck around the front of the net. After he wasn’t able to score, O’Connor fed the puck up to Nathan MacKinnon, who would set up Toews for the overtime winner.

    Takeaways

    After a game against the Winnipeg Jets where the Avs were unable to solve a good goaltender in Connor Hellebyuck, it certainly feels good that Colorado was able to ultimately solve Igor Shesterkin tonight. And on the topic of good goaltending, what a performance from Mackenzie Blackwood. Without his play in net, Colorado probably doesn’t win this game, given how many breakaways and odd-man rushes the team in front of him gave up.

    While the result is ultimately what matters, the process did not look pretty at times, especially on the powerplay. The Avs went 0-for-3 on the power play tonight and even went as far as to give up a short-handed goal. Something’s got to change on that front, and hopefully, it happens soon. No team can expect to survive off of goaltending play every single night and no production with the man advantage. Overall, after a disappointing three-game road trip, Colorado certainly got back on track here tonight.

    Upcoming

    The Colorado Avalanche will continue its five-game home stand on Thursday, January 16, as they take on the Edmonton Oilers. Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. MT for all to see on ESPN.



    In a thrilling matchup against the New York Rangers, the Colorado Avalanche came out on top thanks to a standout performance from goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood. The Avalanche, who had been struggling as of late, showed signs of getting back on track as they defeated the Rangers 4-2.

    Blackwood was the star of the game, making a number of incredible saves to keep the Avalanche in the lead. His performance between the pipes was nothing short of spectacular, as he turned away shot after shot from the Rangers’ offense.

    The Avalanche also got contributions from their offense, with goals from Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Andre Burakovsky, and Cale Makar. The team played with a renewed sense of energy and determination, showing that they are capable of competing with the best teams in the league.

    Overall, it was a much-needed win for the Avalanche as they look to climb up the standings and secure a playoff spot. With Blackwood stealing the show and the offense firing on all cylinders, the team looks poised for a strong finish to the season.

  • New York Rangers Daily: Start of important stretch, Blueshirts rival places No. 1 goalie on waivers



    The New York Rangers are back at it Thursday, playing their first-ever game in the Beehive State, when they visit the Utah Hockey Club.

    This represents an important game and an intriguing time for the Rangers for multiple reasons.

    First is to see how the Rangers rebound after blowing a late one-goal lead in the third period before losing in overtime to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. It was just last week that the Rangers bounced back nicely from a pair of blown leads and another OT defeat at the hands of the Dallas Stars. So, let’s see if they follow suit in this case.

    Second is trying to put on a bow on their three-game road trip. A win Thursday, and the Rangers grab five of six points (2-0-1). Pretty darn good. A regulation loss cuts into their recent mojo and leaves them heading back to New York with just three points (1-1-1). Believe it or not, that’s a big difference.

    Third, well there’s a point streak to consider. They’re 3-0-2 in the past five games, a solid building block after a terrible two-month stretch of hockey. They desperately need points, and the past two weeks have been getting points on a nightly basis.

    Finally, this is the start of a crucial five-game stretch against mediocre opponents. Now keep in mind that the Rangers (20-20-3) are mediocre, too. So, there are no givens here. But these next five games — against Utah, Columbus, Montreal, Ottawa and Philadelphia — represent a huge opportunity for the Rangers to gain ground and could define their season.

    Breaking down the positives and negatives from the Rangers’ overtime loss in Denver on Tuesday.

    Braden Schneider believes there were “plenty of positives” for the Rangers to carry forward from their loss to the Avalanche.

    Our John Kreiser took the opposite side, and wrote about how damaging it is for the Rangers to cough up standings points with a pair of bitter OT losses.

    Remember Vitali Kravtsov? Well, the former Rangers first-round pick has finally found his footing as a pro — in the KHL.

    Which players deserve to be on the Rangers quarter century team? Here’s my breakdown.

    NHL news

    NHL: Philadelphia Flyers at Pittsburgh Penguins
    Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images

    The Pittsburgh Penguins placed their No. 1 goalie, Tristan Jarry, on waivers. Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas says if he clears, Jarry will be sent to Wilkes Barre-Scranton in the American Hockey League. Quite a fall from grace for the two-time NHL All-Star. Colleague Dan Kingerski expertly breaks it all down at Pittsburgh Hockey Now.

    Team president Cam Neely said Wednesday that the Boston Bruins “may be retooling a bit” before the NHL trade deadline March 7, as opposed to being heavy buyers. The Bruins are 3-6-1 in their past 10 games and own the first wild card in the Eastern Conference.

    Speaking of trades, rumors and the upcoming deadline, Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall said he’s “ready for anything” as a pending UFA, and seems resigned to being traded.

    The Winnipeg Jets acquired defenseman Isaak Phillips from the Blackhawks for minor league defenseman Dmitry Kuzmin.

    John Tavares exited Toronto Maple Leafs practice early on Wednesday after getting tangled up with defenseman Chris Tanev. He’s been placed on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least a week although the consensus seems to be he’ll be out longer than that.

    Sheldon Keefe returns to Toronto on Thursday for the first time since he was fired as Maple Leafs coach and subsequently took over behind the New Jersey Devils bench. “I’m excited for it,” Keefe said Wednesday.

    The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Minnesota Wild 5-3 and Connor McDavid passed Jari Kurri for second on the Oilers all-time scoring list with 1,044 points. McDavid trails only Wayne Gretzky, who had 1,669 points with the Oilers before he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings.

    The Buffalo Sabres skated to a 4-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes, though remain last in the Eastern Conference with 39 points.

    Watch Ryan McLeod record his first NHL hat trick in the Sabres win.

  • New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction, Odds and Picks

    New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction, Odds and Picks


    The New York Knicks saw their 9-game winning streak ended last night by the Oklahoma City Thunder. They will have a great chance to get back to winning ways as they visit the Chicago Bulls. While it will be their second game in as many nights, they have won 2 of 3 such games this season. They are up against a Bulls team that has really struggled playing at home this season, winning just 5 of 16 games. Injury wise both teams are relatively healthy, with Ayo Dosunmu and Miles McBride being the only potential absentees for the sides, respectively. Dosunmu was a key spark off the bench for the Bulls when the sides met earlier in the season, dropping 16 points. It could really impact the Bulls bench production here.

    Over the last 10 games the Knicks have been in the top 4 in the league in both offensive and defensive rating. With the Bulls being one of the worst offensive teams during that stretch, being 28th in offensive rating, they could have issues keeping staying in touch. The Bulls are also 3rd in pace during that time, so there should be no shortage of possessions in which the Knicks offensive advantage should help become telling. The Knicks thrive scoring on the inside too, ranking 2nd in points in the paint during that time. With Nikola Vucevic not offering much rim protection, averaging just 0.7 blocks per game, it is no surprise the Bulls are 25th in opponent points in that category. Its something the Knicks should exploit en route to a comfortable win here.

    New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction: Knicks -5.5 available at time of publishing. Playable to Knicks -7.5.

    The New York Knicks will face off against the Chicago Bulls in an exciting matchup that is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Both teams have been playing well recently, making this game a must-watch for basketball enthusiasts.

    The Knicks currently sit in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Bulls are right behind them. With both teams vying for a playoff spot, this game holds significant importance for their respective seasons.

    In terms of odds, the Knicks are slight favorites to win this game, but the Bulls have shown that they are a formidable opponent and should not be underestimated. It is expected to be a close and competitive game, with both teams fighting hard for the win.

    As for predictions, it is tough to say which team will come out on top. The Knicks have a strong defense and have been playing well as of late, while the Bulls have a dynamic offense led by Zach LaVine. It could come down to which team can execute better on both ends of the court.

    In terms of picks, it may be wise to go with the Knicks in this matchup, as they have been more consistent throughout the season. However, the Bulls have the talent to pull off an upset, so anything can happen in this game.

    Overall, this game promises to be a thrilling and closely contested battle between two playoff-hungry teams. Fans should definitely tune in to see which team will come out on top in this exciting matchup.
