Lockridge

relieved

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge is relieved his right knee injury isn’t worse. Lockridge crashed into a side wall on Friday and was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.

He has a major laceration and contusion to the knee. He was using crutches and wearing a knee brace as he spoke to reporters. Lockridge says he thought his knee “was going to be in 100 pieces.”

There’s no firm timetable for Lockridge’s return, in part because he has yet to undergo an MRI.

Pistons at

Cavaliers

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Detroit Pistons visit the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight in the NBA Eastern Conference second round with a 2-1 lead in the series.

The Cavaliers won the last matchup 116-109 on Saturday, led by 35 points from Donovan Mitchell. Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 27.

Knicks bury

76ers 144-114

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and the New York Knicks are back in the Eastern Conference finals, tying the NBA postseason record with 25 3-pointers in front of a raucous crowd rooting for the road team and rolling past the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114 on Sunday to sweep the second-round series. Deuce McBride hit seven 3-pointers and scored 25 points.

The Knicks advanced to the East finals for the second straight season and will play the winner of the Cleveland-Detroit series.

Washington

gets No. 1

CHICAGO (AP) — The league’s worst team this season is getting the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. The Washington Wizards won the draft lottery on Sunday and are poised to pick first overall for the first time since choosing John Wall in that spot in 2010. Wall was the Wizards’ on-stage representative for the lottery.

Washington had a 14% chance of winning No. 1, tied with Brooklyn and Indiana for the best odds. The Wizards had basically a 50-50 chance of getting either a top-four pick or the No. 5 spot. Utah will pick No. 2, Memphis will pick No. 3 and Chicago will pick No. 4.

The Milwaukee Bucks will pick No. 10.

Van Gisbergen

wins from pole

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — With an impressive late-race charge, Shane van Gisbergen remained NASCAR’s king of the road courses Sunday at Watkins Glen International. Starting from the pole position, the Trackhouse Racing driver scored his seventh Cup Series victory — all on road or street courses — by leading 74 of 100 laps in his No. 97 Chevrolet.

Pitting from the lead under green with 24 laps remaining, van Gisbergen emerged in 24th and nearly 30 seconds behind leader Ty Gibbs. The New Zealand native needed only 17 laps to retake the lead, winning by 7.288 seconds over Michael McDowell. Gibbs finished third.

Reitan takes

Truist title

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan shot 2-under 69 on Sunday to earn a two-shot win over Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Hojgaard at the Truist Championship for his first victory on the PGA Tour. Reitan, who chose golf over soccer at a young age, won twice previously on the European Tour.

He finished at 15-under 269. He called the feeling of winning his first PGA Tour event “unreal.” Alex Fitzpatrick, the third-round leader, finished three shots back after shooting 73.

Hurricanes in

East finals

(AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes are back in the Eastern Conference final for the third time in four seasons. They have plenty of time to rest and recharge before taking on that familiar roadblock.

Carolina beat Philadelphia in overtime on Saturday to close out their second-round series in four games. That made Carolina the first team to sweep their first two series since the league went to best-of-seven series in all four rounds in 1987. Carolina will play the Montreal-Buffalo winner. That series is set to go until at least Thursday.

Carolina had nearly a week off after sweeping Ottawa in Round 1.

Bobby Cox

dies at 84

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox has died. Cox died Saturday in Marietta, Georgia, according to the Braves. Cox had a stroke in 2019.

Cox managed the Braves to prominence during the 1990s and the team’s first championship in 1995. He took over a last-place team in June of 1990 and the next season led the Braves to a worst-to-first finish. Atlanta lost in the World Series to Minnesota in seven games. That was the start of a record 14 consecutive division titles.

He managed the Braves for 25 years, retired after the 2010 season and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014. Bobby Cox was 84 years old.

Betts set

to return

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts is set to return after missing more than a month because of a right oblique strain when the Los Angeles Dodgers open a four-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Betts hasn’t played since April 4, when he was hurt in a 10-5 win at Washington.

Manager Dave Roberts said he will have Betts hit second or third in the batting order despite hitting .179 with two home runs and seven RBIs in eight games before the injury.

Roberts didn’t say who would be sent down to free up a roster spot for Betts, a four-time World Series champion and the 2018 American League MVP.
