Cubs and White Sox were off
Astros 8, Tigers 5 – Altuve and Walker each hit a 2-run homer to help the Astros beat the Tigers 8-5
Jose Altuve hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning that sent the Houston Astros to an 8-5 win over the Detroit Tigers. Christian Walker also had a two-run shot in the fourth to begin Houston’s comeback from a 3-0 deficit. Altuve had two hits and three RBIs while batting second for the first time since 2023. He asked to move out of the leadoff spot to give him more time to get ready to hit in the first inning after coming in from the outfield. Houston’s victory snapped a four-game winning streak for the Tigers, who got two homers from Riley Greene and one from Kerry Carpenter.

NBA – Celtics, Knicks, Pacers can advance, Nuggets-Clippers is too close to call
The Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are all on the verge of a second round that appears to be taking shape quickly in the Eastern Conference. Nothing can be decided Tuesday night in the only game out West, where the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers might be nowhere near finished in a series that’s too close to call as they play their Game 5. The Celtics, Knicks and Pacers will all be on their home floors with 3-1 leads they took with road victories on Sunday. The Clippers-Nuggets series is tied 2-2.
NBA – Bucks confirm Damian Lillard has a torn left Achilles tendon
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has a torn left Achilles tendon that will knock him out for the rest of this postseason. This type of injury also could put his status for next season in doubt as well. Kevin Durant tore his Achilles tendon in the 2019 NBA Finals and ended up missing the entire 2019-20 season. The Bucks had been bracing for this outcome after their 129-103 Game 4 loss to the Pacers. Milwaukee trails Indiana 3-1 in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Game 5 is Tuesday at Indianapolis.

NCAA – Federal judge tosses lawsuit brought by ex-college basketball players
A federal judge has dismissed an antitrust lawsuit brought against the NCAA by several former college basketball players. They claimed that the NCAA has enriched itself off their name, image and likeness during the promotion of March Madness. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer of New York pointed to a four-year statute of limitations for federal antitrust violations. He noted that their case was not demonstrably different from other settled cases involving the athletes.
WNBA – Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese’s preseason games to be shown on national TV
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese’s return to college for WNBA preseason games will be two of a record four exhibition games shown on national TV. Clark will head back to Iowa for an exhibition between her Indiana Fever and the Brazilian national team on Sunday, a game airing on ESPN. The Fever’s game against the Washington Mystics a day earlier will be on NBA TV. Reese will lead the Chicago Sky back to her alma mater, LSU, on Friday to face the Brazilian team. Sky teammate Kamilla Cardoso played for that Brazilian team in February 2024, trying to help it qualify for the Olympics. That game will be part of a doubleheader on ION. The other game is Dallas playing Las Vegas at Notre Dame.
WNBA – Stronger Caitlin Clark gears up for 2nd WNBA season with upgraded roster
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark slapped the court with both hands and started gesturing in her side’s direction after forcing a 5-second call near the end of Tuesday’s practice. It was only Day 2 of training camp, yet this is what Clark has yearned for these past seven months — playing basketball with even higher expectations in her second WNBA season. Last year, she helped the the Fever snap a seven-year playoff drought. She won the league’s Rookie of the Year Award. She was named Associated Press 2024 Female Athlete of the Year and Time magazine’s 2024 Athlete of the Year. Now a stronger, wiser Clark wants to win the championship that eluded her during her college career.
NFL – Deciphering the reasons behind Shedeur Sanders’ stunning free fall in the NFL draft
It’s not often that the 144th overall pick is the biggest story of the NFL draft. In a three-day spectacle of cringe that will live in football lore for a long time, University of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders fell from a potential top-five overall selection on Thursday to the fifth round on Saturday in an excruciating slide that had his supporters fuming and detractors laughing. The Cleveland Browns finally ended Sanders’ misery with the No. 144 selection. In this analysis, The Associated Press examines some of the potential reasons for Sanders’ free fall, using the quarterback’s own words, his father’s comments, the analysis of pundits and his on-the-field performance.
NFL – Commanders and Washington agree to a deal to build at RFK Stadium site
Washington’s NFL franchise is set to return to the nation’s capital. Mayor Muriel Bowser says the District of Columbia and the Commanders reached an agreement to construct a new home for the football team in the city on the site of the old RFK Stadium. The project will cost the team and city nearly $4 billion, with the Commanders paying $2.7 billion. Commanders ownership has been considering places in Washington, Maryland and Virginia since buying the team from Dan Snyder in 2022. Washington has played in Landover, Maryland, since moving there in 1997.
NFL – Trump celebrates the Super Bowl champ Eagles at White House, without Hurts
President Donald Trump hosted the 2025 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at the White House, but several players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, skipped the event. Hurts and other players cited scheduling conflicts as the reasons for their absences. That’s according to a White House official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Trump in 2018 invited the Eagles to the White House after the franchise’s first Super Bowl title but later canceled it after it became clear most players weren’t going to show up. He instead threw his own brief “Celebration of America" event.
