The Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons will be without starters Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris for at least the next few games, the team announced Saturday. Duren, who has a left ankle strain, and Harris, who has a left hip strain, won't travel to Cleveland for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. Duren will be reevaluated in one week; Harris will be reevaluated in two weeks.

If I run hard I don't enjoy that moment but I know I need to keep my head down and run hard to get through it. We are in a situation where you need to run hard, to stay in it. When we look back on this spell or maybe this first year when it was tough, you'll think: What a learning, what an experience, it made us so much better for the future.'

Leonard has taken over the league over the last two weeks, racking up 37.2 points, 3.3 3-pointers, 8.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.2 blocks on 53% field goal shooting. He's also a high-volume free throw shooter and has missed only three of them in December, two of which came in his last two games, snapping a streak of nine games without missing one. He's hit 96% of his freebies this month and has led the Clippers to five straight wins,

No, we haven't trained yet, so today's going to be the first training session with the players who started against Villa. We will know more this afternoon. On Declan Rice's fitness Not yet, and we have another session today, so let's see how he comes in today and how that's feeling, but [the Villa] game was too early for him.

I liked during the broadcast when the panelists mentioned the Raptors not having to be the "cardiac kids," yet still showing up in clutch moments. Against the Nuggets, it was no different -despite Toronto entering as favorites, they couldn't escape the high-tense, closing drama. It made sense, given Denver's injury struggles, recently losing superstar Nikola Jokic and still missing Christian Braun, Cam Johnson, and Aaron Gordon.

Defenders Chris Richards (foot) and Chadi Riad and Daniel Munoz (both knee) are out injured. Midfielder Cheick Doucoure (knee) and widemen Caleb Kporha (back) and Rio Cardines (muscular) are also sidelined. Midfielder Daichi Kamada is expected to be out until February with a hamstring problem. Forward Ismaila Sarr is at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Senegal. Crystal Palace starting XI: Henderson, Lacroix, Guehi, Lerma, Clyne, Hughes, Wharton, Mitchell, Devenny, Pino, Mateta

Nick Robertson made the most of an expanded role in the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils, continuing a stretch of strong play that is becoming harder to overlook. Given increased ice time in the win, Robertson again delivered effective, consistent play, reinforcing the idea that he has earned an expanded role as coach Craig Berube evaluates his lineup options.

"I thought he did some good things," Gannon said of Harrison. "We moved him around the formation. He scored points for us. He got open, caught it. I don't think he's hit his ceiling and look forward to the future with that."

"Luckily for all of us, he's had experience in similar systems," LaFleur said. "He was with Vegas last year with [Packers senior assistant Luke] Getsy. He's been in Atlanta with Arthur Smith, and Arthur and I have obviously worked together before. So there is some common language, I would say. I know, just talking to him, he was in Minnesota, and I'm sure that Kevin [O'Connell's] got so

Disappointment can be found in all corners of this Ashes series. England's victory came too late. Australia may have secured the urn again but Glenn McGrath's usual prediction didn't hold. It's been a serious letdown for the neutral, never mind that a 3-2 scoreline is still in the offing. This was meant to be the one where England had a shot, where the Sydney finale would actually have something on the line beyond World Test Championship points.

Nylander is day-to-day still. He's doing better but still day-to-day. Matthews will be a game-time decision. Tanev is lower-body, it's not the same injury. He's getting evaluated today so we'll have a better timeline later today on him,

Chelsea remain without Levi Colwill, who continues his rehabilitation from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, while Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia are also sidelined with thigh problems. Marc Cucurella misses out after the left-back was forced off during the second half of the defeat to Aston Villa with a suspected hamstring issue. Malo Gusto deputises, with full-back Jorrel Hato also absent after missing the weekend squad.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- When the Arizona Cardinals allow themselves to finally take a breath after the season, whether that's on a beach in Cabo or on a couch in Arizona, and start dissecting how 2025 went, they'll keep coming back to one question. What went wrong? For a team that won eight games in 2024 and had playoff aspirations, this season fell far below expectations. At 3-13, the Cardinals have tied their worst record in the modern era. A loss Sunday will give them their worst single-season record since the 1970 merger.

Tiger Woods turned 50 on Tuesday, making the 15-time major championship winner eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions circuit once he recovers from his latest health setbacks. Woods hasn't publicly said whether he intends to play on the former Senior PGA Tour, which allows golfers to use carts and has a 54-hole format at most tournaments outside of the 72-hole majors.
