Sean Murphy-Bunting: Practicing during OTAs
Murphy-Bunting (knee) has been participating during Cardinals OTAs and has been working as a nickel corner, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports. Murphy-Bunting tore his ACL and also suffered some MCL damage last May and missed all of the 2025 season. Just over a year later, the veteran defender is back on the field during OTAs, and he's been taking on a different role in the nickel-corner spot. Murphy-Bunting has played mostly outside corner during his tenure in Arizona, but the team has a need in the slot with Garrett Williams expected to be out at the beginning of the campaign while recovering from a torn Achilles. Williams will presumably retake the role upon his return, but in the meantime, Murphy-Bunting should see plenty or work in the slot. He was ample experience there, having played the position frequently earlier in his career while with the Buccaneers.Read More -

Marlin Klein: Dealing with hamstring issue
Klein was sidelined at the Texans' OTAs during the week after tweaking his hamstring, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Per Wilson, the injury isn't expected to keep Klein off the practice field for an extended period. The rookie second-round pick, who's competing with Foster Moreau for the No. 2 job behind Dalton Schultz, will have a chance to return to practice at some point during the Texans' mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday.Read More -

Brian Thomas: Improving chemistry with QB1
Thomas has demonstrated increased chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence during spring practices, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said during OTAs the coaching staff is "trying to get a true connection" established between Thomas and Lawrence the tandem "didn't quite have last spring or training camp." Coen said he's been "very pleased" with how Thomas approached the offseason, while Lawrence said he and the wideout have "put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, [...] and it's starting to pay off." As a rookie, the 2024 first-rounder burst onto the scene with a 87-1,282-10 line, though much of that came with then-backup Mac Jones under center. Thomas then took a notable step back in 2025, tallying 48-707-2 across 14 regular-season appearances. If Thomas is indeed able to improve his rapport with Lawrence and clean up the issues with avoided contact and dropped passes that plagued him last year, he could still boast the highest upside of any of Jacksonville's pass catchers, though Coen's willingness to spread the ball around implies hefty target competition.Read More

Devin Vassell: Consistent production continues
Vassell contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to New York in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Vassell continues to play well on both ends of the floor, providing solid yet modest production. In 14 playoff appearances over the past month, he has averaged 12.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. Having lost both games at home, San Antonio will now head to New York for Games 3 and 4, looking to extend the series beyond four games.Read More -

Stephon Castle: Questionable decision-making
Castle closed with 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Castle was benched down the stretch, although he did return to the court for the final few plays. Despite solid production, Castle's performance was littered with lapses in judgment, primarily on the offensive end. On more than one occasion, he appeared to attack the basket without knowing what he was going to do. Both he and Victor Wembanyama were guilty of making errors, highlighting the fact that San Antonio is significantly outmatched when it comes to experience. Now trailing the series 2-0, Castle and his teammates will be looking to turn things around when the two teams meet again in New York on Monday.Read More -

Landry Shamet: Strong perimeter production
Shamet recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Shamet landed at least three triples for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to provide the Knicks with a viable scoring option off the bench. He has now also played at least 28 minutes in three of the past four games, scoring at least 13 points in all four appearances. Now leading the series 2-0, New York will have the opportunity to wrap up the NBA Finals with back-to-back wins on its home court.Read More

Basallo left Friday's contest in the sixth inning with abdominal discomfort, but he seems to have avoided a serious injury.

Simpson (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hunter Feduccia: Sitting again Saturday
Feduccia isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Feduccia will retreat to the bench for a third consecutive game Saturday while Nick Fortes starts at catcher and bats ninth. Feduccia may have dropped down a spot on the depth chart, though neither of Tampa Bay's backstops has performed well enough offensively this season to draw consistent playing time.Read More

1 day agoBrayden McNabb: Traveling home with team
McNabb (face) will travel back home with the team ahead of Game 3 on Saturday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports. McNabb has appeared in 17 postseason games for Vegas this season, registering one goal, six assists and 18 shots while averaging 19:59 of ice time. If the blueliner misses out on Game 3, it would likely see Kaedan Korczak step back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the last two games.Read More -

Hanifin logged an assist and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Hanifin snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. He's been held to just two assists over 12 contests since the start of the second round, though Hanifin continues to offer quality play in a shutdown role.

Marner logged two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Marner has gone six games without a goal but still has six helpers in that span. He set up Brett Howden's first goal and Mark Stone's third-period equalizer in this contest. Marner leads the postseason with 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) while adding 43 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 18 appearances. A strong showing over the remainder of this series should give him a good chance to win the Conn Smythe Trophy.Read More
