After incorporating DeMarcus Cousins into the rotation midway through the regular season, they lost him to a quad injury right in the first playoff game of his career. This was followed by the shocking exit of Kevin Durant to a calf injury against Houston Rockets in the West semis and Thompson’s hamstring in the Finals.

Two strokes off the pace going into the final round on the hosting Stadium Course, Swafford fired a sparkling five-under-par 67 in overcast conditions to hold off a late challenge by third-round leader Adam Hadwin of Canada. Swafford, who also produced good form last week to tie for 13th at the Sony Open in Hawaii, picked up shots at the 15th, 16th and 17th to move one stroke clear of a congested leaderboard before comfortably parring the last to post a 20-under total of 268....

Facing the hometown team he once played for, Gonzalez homered, doubled and drove in five runs on Sunday to help the New York Mets overwhelm the San Diego Padres 14-2. “It’s always good to be here, be in front of family and friends and loved ones, and overall just try to do what you can to help the team win,” Gonzalez said. He had plenty of help. Zack Wheeler struck out nine in five innings....

To a lot of the audience, Gearbox’s new “hack-and-slash looter” - Godfall - wasn’t impressive enough to be one of the first few games to carry the PS5 at launch. The major sentiment in the gaming community was that the visuals did not befit those of even a current-gen title, let alone the PS5. Godfall, as a result, slowly faded away from conversations regarding games at launch for the PS5....

The past month has provided more sneak peeks of the game than ever before. After offering closer looks at the Valorplate armor sets that players will don, Gearbox and Counterplay followed up with full-on gameplay trailers highlighting Godfall’s melee-centric combat and vibrant fantasy epic world.

He’s on a different path.” MORE: U.S. chance to win a trophy shouldn’t be scorned...

Golden Nugget sports director, Tony Miller, said that he had gotten enough requests at his book; he decided to go to work and create odds for the SummitRacing.com Nationals.

Cook missed 10 weeks of the season after injuring his back in a February fall at his Florida home. He made an 8-foot putt on the par-3 17th and a 25-footer on par-4 18th. “I was really excited for this year, then (after the injury) I got really down,” Cook said....

Illonen birdied five of his closing seven holes in superb morning conditions on the Fota Island course in Cork and took a three-stroke clubhouse lead over Italy’s Edoardo Molinari and England’s Matthew Baldwin, who were the next best among the early finishers. The 64 is a new low for a course that has seen major changes since its previous staging of the Irish Open in 2002. McIlroy hit just eight of the 14 fairways and took 30 putts in a round of 3-over 74....

Interim general manager John Hart made the announcement Friday. Gonzalez’ future was in doubt after the Braves missed the playoffs. GM Frank Wren was fired with a week to go in the regular season. It was thought the Braves would wait until a permanent GM was hired to decide on Gonzalez’s future. But with no timetable for making that announcement, the team decided to bring back Gonzalez, who has led the Braves to a pair of postseason appearances and an NL East title during his four years as manager....

The family of 26-year-old Congo native Abdul Sharifu set up a page to help support his family with funeral expenses, after he left his home on Saturday afternoon to get supplies, and never made it back. Sharifu is one of at least 39 victims of the winter storm in in Erie County, New York, that left many residents without power and trapped in their homes.

The aforementioned YouTubers opted to place Dragon Ball Z’s very own Goku into the mix. Unsurprisingly for anyone familiar with the anime property, the entire balance of Street Fighter is immediately shattered as a result of the overwhelming abilities that the Saiyan Warrior possesses.
