Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the universe. Before Sunday afternoon, I did not think it metaphysically possible for the New York Liberty's season to get more unpleasant than it has been for several injury-riddled months now. But a few minutes into overtime of New York's first-round Game 1 against the Phoenix Mercury, there was Breanna Stewart's left knee to show up my puny imagination.

Initially, Burrow was limping as he tried to walk off the field. But after a couple of steps, he went down on the turf. Burrow had a lengthy evaluation in the blue injury tent. After several minutes, he attempted to walk to the locker room. However, Burrow stopped roughly 15 feet short of the tunnel that leads beneath the stadium as he sought assistance from athletic trainers to make it back inside.

Before his injury, Lund, 21, had two goals in what became a 6-3 Sharks win over the Ducks. He did not play Saturday afternoon against the Los Angeles Kings, who had a four-goal lead after the first period before Kasper Halttunen, Filip Bystedt, and Sam Dickinson scored for the Sharks in the second. Lund was a second-round pick by the Sharks in 2022 and, after a three-year career at Northeastern, signed an entry-level contract and turned pro in March.

We're only in the fourth league match of the 2025/26 campaign, and Arsenal are already without numerous important players. Both Bukayo Saka and William Saliba are out of today's game, while Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are also long-term absentees. Now it seems Odegaard has given Arsenal yet another worry as he had to go off in the first half of today's game against Forest.

"I think it's a long shot," Shanahan said.

Chelsea attempted to call off Nicolas Jackson's proposed transfer to Bayern Munich but the striker stayed in Germany, attempting to push through a move which was eventually revived and completed on deadline day. "Liam I think is around 10-12 weeks [out] so a long way to go," Maresca told a news conference on Friday before he was asked about Jackson's rollercoaster end to the summer.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle are still looking for their first win of the 2025-26 campaign and face Wolves at St. James' Park on Saturday. Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa were thought to be in line to make their Magpies debuts following the departure of Alexander Isak on deadline day. Newcastle's double striker purchase has mitigated for Isak's exit to an extent, although there are concerns the pair may not be able to replicate the Swedish international impact and output right away.

The Green Bay Packers lost receiver Jayden Reed to a shoulder injury on a play that didn't even count during the opening drive of Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders at Lambeau Field. Reed was injured after he made an outstretched catch on what would have been a 39-yard touchdown if it hadn't been wiped out by a holding penalty on right tackle Anthony Belton.

Frimpong, who was signed in the summer to replace homegrown talent Trent Alexander-Arnold, has had to watch from the sidelines in recent weeks and wasn't part of the Netherlands squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Poland and Lithuania. It cost Liverpool around 30m to secure Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year deal, and the player is currently regarded as one of the best right-backs in the world by FourFourTwo.

TORONTO -- Houston Astros right-hander Luis Garcia exited Tuesday's game at Toronto in the second inning with an apparent injury. AJ Blubaugh came on to replace Garcia, who was making his second start after sitting out more than two years while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Garcia threw 27 pitches, 14 for strikes. Garcia motioned to the dugout after throwing an 88 mph changeup to Ernie Clement with two outs in the second.

Sammie Szmodics is out of Ireland's World Cup qualifier in Armenia on Tuesday, with Shamrock Rovers defender Josh Honohan called up to take his place on the plane Szmodics started last night's 2-2 draw with Hungary but the Ipswich player has sustained a knock which has forced his withdrawal. He was making his return to the Irish set up after missing the previous four games.

The Indiana Fever said Thursday that guard Caitlin Clark is out for the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season, missing the team's final three regular season games and any potential postseason play. The announcement ended weeks of speculation about when Clark, who hasn't played since July 15 due to a right groin injury, would return -- a frustrating chapter for Clark and the Fever, who currently sit as the No. 8 seed of the WNBA playoffs.

After returning to the practice field Monday and participating in Wednesday and Thursday sessions, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings spoke publicly for the first time about an eventful summer that included a calf injury and a contract impasse. The 49ers and Jennings reached agreement Wednesday night on a slight modification to his contract that includes the opportunity to earn $3 million in additional play-time incentives in 2025.

When Bayern Munich opted to sell Adam Aznou to Everton earlier this summer, many fans were irate with the club for giving up on another youngster. However, there were some rumblings about Aznous's attitude and work ethic - particularly on Bayern Munich's Club World Cup trip - that might have pushed the club over the edge in determining to get rid of the young left-back.

The Boston Red Sox put rookie sensation Roman Anthony on the injured list Wednesday after the outfielder experienced left oblique tightness in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Cleveland Guardians. While not giving a specific timetable, Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged that oblique strains typically require four to six weeks of recovery time. "He's one of our best offensive players, but it's not hard," Cora said Wednesday. "We have to move on. We've been through this before."

Dartmouth Police and Fire Departments responded to 20 Sagamore Drive around 12:57 a.m. and reported "heavy fire conditions and explosions from the garage of the house," the Dartmouth Police Department said. All residents exited the home before first responders arrived, police said. One resident who was burned was transported to a Rhode Island hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

For casual observers, they might be surprised to hear Jovic regarded in such a fortune-changing kind of fashion. Since being made the 27th pick of the 2022 draft, he has done very little on the stat sheet to indicate such importance to the organization. Last season was basically his best to date, and it hardly resembled the work of true difference-makers.

That's because the Braves pulled off a bit of a shocker by claiming SS Ha-Seong Kim (김하성) from the Tampa Bay Rays off of waivers. In fact, it wasn't even widely known that Kim was on waivers to begin with and I'd imagine that it was actually a pretty quick process that once it happened and the Braves had the chance to claim him, Braves President/GM Alex Anthopoulos jumped on the opportunity and brought him in.

Adam Fox, for some reason, became the topic of many discussions with disgruntled fans. There was good reason to be disgruntled, as the Rangers were trash and more was expected of the leadership group, including Fox. But that displeasure led to odd arguments that Fox wasn't good and was overpaid. Yet in a down year with likely only 1.5 fully functional knees, Fox still put up 10 goals and 61 points in 74 games

Adam was carted off the Petco Park mound during this evening's loss to the Orioles (video via Talkin' Baseball). Gunnar Henderson hit a chopper up the middle. The ball was a little behind the right-handed Adam, who naturally pulls toward first base on the follow-through in his delivery. Adam appeared to try to plant and change direction to field the ball when his left leg gave out.

HOUSTON -- Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward was carted off the field after crashing face first into the metal scoreboard in left field trying to make a catch in the eighth inning Sunday against the Houston Astros. Ward was sprinting to try to make the catch on a double hit by Ramon Urias before running into the wall and being knocked to the ground. He quickly got up but immediately signaled for help.

Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence prior to the accident. He rendered assistance and contacted 911, remaining on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety.
