I asked Boogie Cousins who he thinks will win a 1v1 between him and Jokic to 11.

Here’s what he said.

WOW

🚨🚨🚨

Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.

In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.

The Dodgers are placing Teoscar Hernandez on the injured list, per manager Dave Roberts.

LA has lost both Teoscar Hernandez and Kiké Hernández in a single series this week.

Absolutely brutal for the Dodgers.

Hyeseong Kim with an impressive catch in left field 👀

He replaced Teoscar Hernandez, who exited the game with a hamstring injury.

Kiké Hernández is going on the IL, per manager Dave Roberts.

A devastating blow for the fan favorite, who made just four plate appearances before sustaining another injury.

Kiké Hernández told reporters he initially tweaked his oblique during batting practice Monday.

He’s hoping for the best-case scenario, but that could still mean several weeks.

"We don't really have much. We'll find out tomorrow how bad it is. Probably at least a couple of weeks.”

Shohei Ohtani, who is starting today, just hit a leadoff home run on the first pitch of the game.

Unreal.

And the Padres respond with a two-run blast of their own from Manny Machado. He’s been batting .077 in the last 14 games.

Dodgers-Padres tied at 2.

The Dodgers couldn’t muster a run yesterday, but start the scoring early with a two-run homer from Freddie Freeman Tuesday.

Dodgers: 2, Padres: 0

📢 @DMAC_LA's love letter to LA on @TheFanLA

[Ricardo K Sandoval @_RicardoSand]

The Lakers season comes to an end at the hands of the Thunder in a form of a sweep.

Now LA will have a few things to address this offseason including LeBron James’ future, Austin Reaves and his impending contract, Rui Hachimura’s future with the team, among many others.

Another crucial summer is ahead for the purple and gold.

[Doug McKain @DMAC_LA]

The Rams are taking Ty Simpson at #13. Makai Lemon was a smokescreen all along.

Ty Simpson could turn into an All-Pro level quarterback and I would still absolutely hate this pick.

[Ricardo K Sandoval @_RicardoSand]

The Lakers traded for Luke Kennard at the deadline in February.

He’s now a focal point in these playoffs without Luka and Austin, and he’s been brilliant in Game 1.

Lakers superstar Luka Doncic is officially back in the award race 💪

Despite not hitting the games-played threshold, the NBA ruled him eligible — and Luka couldn't be happier!

[Luka Doncic @lukadoncic]

I am grateful to the NBPA for advocating on my behalf and to the NBA for their fair decision. It was so important to me to be present for the birth of my daughter in December and I appreciate Mark, Jeanie, Rob, JJ, and the entire Lakers organization for fully supporting me and allowing me to travel to be there. This season has been so special to me because of what my teammates and I have been able to accomplish, and I am honored to have the opportunity to be considered for the league’s end-of-season awards.

#Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan once again shut down trading De'Von Achane. Is this final?

MASTERFUL!!

Rory becomes the first back-to-back Masters winner since Tiger Woods in 2002

[ESPN @espn]

RORY IS ROARING 🔥

He chips in on 17 for his THIRD straight birdie to improve to -11 👏

The Dodgers and Blue Jays squared off in the World Series five months ago.

Tonight, the back-to-back champions return to the Rogers Centre.

Blue Jays players are not leaning into the hype surrounding the World Series rematch. Here’s what they had to say about facing LA:

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely due to a left hamstring injury, sources tell me and @mcten. He will miss the remainder of the regular season and his status is uncertain beyond that.
