Nolan Smith: Arrested on speeding charges
Smith was arrested last Friday in Georgia and is accused of speeding and reckless driving, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. According to a representative of the Twiggs County Sheriff's Office, Smith's vehicle was clocked at 130 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone while the 25-year-old was driving on the interstate. A court date for Smith's case has been set for July 14, though he wouldn't have to appear if he agrees to pay the fines associated with his citations. A 2023 first-round draft pick, Smith has accrued 10.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits over 45 career games during the regular season and was a standout performer in the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl in 2024, when he racked up four sacks in four playoff contests.Read More -

Stephon Castle: Scores 25 points with eight assists
Castle totaled 25 points (10-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 122-113 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Castle was in attack mode from the jump, throwing down some highlight-reel jams and scoring most of his points in the paint. However, he struggled from beyond the arc, finished with a game-high nine turnovers and was a minus-11 in the nine-point loss. He'll need to do a better job of taking care of the rock when the series returns to San Antonio for Game 3 on Friday.Read More -

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Leads Thunder to win Wednesday
Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 30 points (12-24 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two blocks across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 122-113 win over San Antonio in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shot in Monday's double-overtime loss, finishing with 24 points while shooting 7-for-23 from the field and 2-for-7 from deep in 51 minutes. While SGA still had trouble finding the bottom of the net from deep Wednesday, he did enough to lead Oklahoma City to a win to tie the series up at one game each. Jalen Williams (hamstring) was unable to finish the contest, and it's unknown if he will be available for Game 3 on Friday night. If Williams can't suit up, Gilgeous-Alexander may need to be even more involved on the scoring end versus a San Antonio team that has been tough defensively at home throughout the postseason.Read More -

Dylan Harper: Won’t return Wednesday
Harper (leg) won't return to Wednesday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals versus Oklahoma City, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. He will finish with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes. Harper exited in the third quarter. While he attempted to return, he was stopped by the team's medical staff. Now that the rookie is officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest, his status will be a topic of discussion ahead of Game 3 on Friday. If Harper and De'Aaron Fox (ankle), who hasn't played yet during this series, can't suit up, Keldon Johnson would be the favorite to enter the starting lineup, with extra minutes potentially being absorbed by Carter Bryant and Jordan McLaughlin.Read More

Spencer Miles: Another bulk-relief outing on tap
Miles is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Braydon Fisher in Thursday's game against the Yankees, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. While serving as an opening pitcher May 10 against the Angels and as a bulk reliever this past Saturday in Detroit, Miles covered 6.2 scoreless frames while striking out seven batters and allowing six baserunners. The rookie right-hander tossed a season-high 56 pitches his last time out, so the Blue Jays could have him build on that workload during Thursday's appearance.Read More -

Clayton Beeter: Reinstated from injured list
The Nationals activated Beeter (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Thursday. Beeter has been shelved since late April with right forearm discomfort, but he's been cleared to return to action after making three rehab appearances. It's possible the Nationals will ease Beeter back into high-leverage outings, but he should be back in the closer mix sooner rather than later.Read More -

Braydon Fisher: Receiving opener assignment
Fisher will serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. The right-hander will work as an opener for the second time this season, after he previously tossed one inning in a starting role April 17 in Arizona. Fisher hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of his 24 appearances on the season, so expect him to work between one and two innings Thursday before exiting the game. Spencer Miles is expected to work in bulk relief behind Fisher.Read More

Nichushkin scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Nichushkin got the Avalanche on the board at 5:53 of the third period, but their comeback effort came up short. The 31-year-old winger was dropped to the third line to begin this series after going scoreless in the last three games of the second round. In this postseason, he's earned two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating over 10 appearances.Read More -

Landeskog scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Landeskog netted his fourth goal of the postseason to make things interesting late in the third period. The Avalanche weren't able to tie the game despite the captain's effort. Landeskog is up to nine points, 26 shots on net, 34 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 10 playoff contests. He should continue to operate in a top-six role and on the power play.Read More -

Wedgewood stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. Wedgewood didn't get enough support early on while keeping Vegas off the board for the first 32-plus minutes until Dylan Coghlan scored at 12:29 of the second period. This was just the second loss in nine outings this postseason for Wedgewood, and it's the third time he's allowed more than two goals. The absence of Cale Makar (undisclosed) looms large, but the Avalanche's defense still did fairly well despite the loss. Game 2 is Friday, but head coach Jared Bednar has yet to reveal his starting goalie for that contest.Read More
