Nets’ No. 1 priority: Containing Giannis Antetokounmpo
NY Post
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has won the last two NBA MVP awards, and sure looked worthy of another in dominating the Nets this regular season.
Priority No. 1 for the Nets is keeping him from doing it again in the postseason, starting Saturday with Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals (7:30 p.m., TNT). It might even be priority No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 as well. “It’s cool to compete against the best on this stage at this point of the season,” Kevin Durant said. “When you’re out there with the best players in the world — MVPs and Defensive Players of the Year — it just makes it even better.”
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.
