LeBron James admits reality of ‘draining’ Lakers season after first-round playoff exit
NY Post
LeBron James is exhausted.
The 36-year-old entered his 18th season after a short 72-day offseason, following a historic championship run in the 2020 NBA Bubble — only to have his MVP-caliber season hindered by an ankle injury that lingered into the 2021 playoffs. Injuries would ultimately lead to the Lakers’ first-round playoff exit, as they were eliminated by the Suns in a 116-100 Game 6 loss on Thursday night.
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.
