NBA –Doncic heads to the Lakers and Anthony Davis goes to the Mavs in blockbuster trade
Luka Doncic has been traded by the reigning Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. The deal was announced Sunday after trade talks that took place over about a month and were kept extremely tight-lipped. Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris are headed to the Lakers, while Davis and Max Christie are going to Dallas. The Utah Jazz also are involved in the deal. The trade may come at a serious price for Doncic, who now can’t sign a five-year supermax extension this summer that could have been worth around $345 million.
NBA – De’Aaron Fox to join Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio as part of 3-team trade
Victor Wembanyama has a new point guard. De’Aaron Fox is on his way out of Sacramento and headed to San Antonio. Fox is one of the centerpieces of a three-team trade agreed to by three teams. The deal sends Zach LaVine from Chicago to Sacramento, Zach Collins from San Antonio to Chicago and Kevin Huerter from the Kings to the Bulls. That’s according to two people with knowledge of the discussions who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade has yet to be approved by the league.

WNBA – DeWanna Bonner will join the Indiana Fever, AP source says
A person familiar with the deal says DeWanna Bonner is headed to Indiana to join Caitlin Clark and the Fever. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made. The six-time All-Star played in Connecticut the last five years, helping the Sun reach the WNBA Finals in 2022. She averaged 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists last season and made the All-Star team. A move to Indiana reunites Bonner with coach Stephanie White, whom she played for in Connecticut the last two seasons.

NCAAWBB – Iowa honors Caitlin Clark by retiring her number
Caitlin Clark wasn’t back in her home arena to play a game. Still, the “butterflies,” the former Iowa guard said, were quite similar. Clark returned to Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday to have her jersey number 22 retired in a ceremony after the Hawkeyes’ 76-67 win over No. 4 USC, one season after she completed her historic college career. The jersey retirement concluded Clark’s chapter with the Hawkeyes, where she became college basketball’s all-time leading scorer while leading Iowa to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA championship game the last two seasons.
MLB – Jack Flaherty returns to Tigers, agreeing to $35 million, 2-year deal
A person familiar with the agreement tells The Associated Press that pitcher Jack Flaherty is returning to the Detroit Tigers, agreeing Sunday to a $35 million, two-year contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical. Flaherty can opt out after the 2025 season and become a free agent again. If he opts out, he will have received $25 million in signing bonus and salary. A 29-year-old right-hander, Flaherty was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 28 starts last year for Detroit and his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers, who acquired him at the trade deadline.
MLB – Fay Vincent, baseball commissioner during three years of turmoil, dies at 86
Fay Vincent, who became baseball commissioner in 1989 and then was forced out three years later by owners intent on a labor confrontation with players, has died. He was 86. Vincent had undergone radiation and chemotherapy for bladder cancer and developed complications, according to his wife, Christina. He asked that treatment be stopped and died Saturday at a hospital in Vero Beach, Florida. As baseball commissioner, Vincent angered owners by becoming the first management official to admit the collusion among teams against free agents following the 1985, ‘86 and ’87 seasons. He suspended the Yankees’ George Steinbrenner, divided expansion fees among both leagues, attempted to force National League realignment and negotiated a settlement that ended a 1990 spring training lockout.
