Knicks sixth man Immanuel Quickley ‘doubtful’ for Game 4

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:11:49 GMT

MIAMI — The Knicks bench and depth, considered their advantages in the Eastern Conference semis, have instead been lagging and were thrown another challenge with Immanuel Quickley’s injury.Quickley, who only missed one game this season, is listed as “doubtful” for Monday night’s Game 4 after spraining his ankle in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s Game 3.The Knicks, it should be noted, used the same “doubtful” status for Josh Hart in the previous series because of a sprained ankle and he played the next game.But if Quickley is unavailable Monday, Tom Thibodeau’s prior adjustments suggest he’ll either shorten the rotation to eight players or give minutes to defensive specialist Miles McBride.With the Knicks’ offense in a funk, Thibodeau was asked Sunday if he’ll consider adding Evan Fournier and Derrick Rose to the rotation.“Everything is on the table,” he responded.That’s the coach’s stock...

Mets allow 7 runs in disastrous 5th inning, lose for 11th time in 14 games

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:11:49 GMT

This season’s trend of short outings from Mets’ starting pitchers continued Sunday, as starter Joey Lucchesi gave up three runs in four innings of work in the 13-6 loss against the Rockies.With the Mets’ offense in a funk as of late — scoring just nine runs in five games prior to Sunday — the rubber match got off to an exceptional start for Buck Showalter’s squad.After going down 1-0 following a homer from Rockies’ DH Randal Grichuk, Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor both walked to lead off the bottom of the frame. Jeff McNeil hit a single to score Nimmo to tie the game and Brett Baty, who hit fifth Sunday, singled to score Lindor and McNeil.The scoring could’ve continued, as Luis Guillorme singled to right but Daniel Vogelbach was thrown out at second base for the final out right before Baty could cross home for the fourth run.McNeil’s RBI single put the Mets up 4-3 in the fourth, but Kris Bryant, who started in right field, hi...

Gerrit Cole, Yankees blow 6-0 lead after Rays win in 10th inning with walk-off single

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:11:49 GMT

ST PETERSBURG — A 6-0 lead should have been more than enough to beat the Rays, especially with Gerrit Cole on the mound. But little has gone well for the Yankees outside of their ace this year, and Cole finally contributed to a sorry stretch that he had otherwise only interrupted with a dominant run until Sunday’s 8-7 series finale loss against the first place Rays.Cole surrendered his first two home runs of the season, the first coming off the bat of No. 9 hitter Jose Siri in the fifth inning. Cole had gone 51 innings without giving up a longball to open the season after leading the American League in dingers last year, but Siri’s shot was only of the solo variety. However, the Rays added another run on a fluky play involving Gleyber Torres and Oswaldo Cabrera, and more trouble followed in the sixth.First, Isaac Paredes’s RBI double cut the Yankees’ lead to three. It then evaporated altogether when Christian Bethancourt, the Ray’s No. 8 hitter, c...
