Kyrie Irving can’t do it alone as Nets fall to Trail Blazers
NY Post
In a matchup between Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard — two of the NBA’s best point guards — Lillard had more help and more health on his side.
The shorthanded Nets didn’t have enough firepower on one end or defense on the other. And in the end, they took a 128-109 loss to the Trail Blazers on the chin before 1,773 fans at Barclays Center. “[They’re] an incredible test for us,” coach Steve Nash had warned beforehand. “This team can really score. They get up top five in 3s taken and efficiency. They cause all sorts of problems offensively. So for us, [a] little shorthanded, it’s a great test how we can come together.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
