Knicks confident about handling games without Julius Randle: ‘We always step up in focus’

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:26:43 GMT

CLEVELAND — Jalen Brunson acknowledged the “terrible timing” of Julius Randle’s injury, but the point guard — along with teammate RJ Barrett — are confident the roster can handle the absence of the All-Star.For Barrett, it’s a belief rooted in the roster’s improvement from last season, specifically the addition of Brunson and the uptick in scoring from Immanuel Quickley.“One hundred percent,” Barrett said. “I think it could be anybody’s night. The way I come in looking at it, I want to make the right plays, whether I’m scoring, facilitating, playing defense. Whenever one guy goes down, we always step up to focus. I think it takes more focus especially being down an All-Star. But I’m very confident in our team and how we can handle things.”Still, a life without Randle for at least the final five games of the regular season — and possibly into the playoffs — brings questions and chall...

Column: It was a ‘Stropening Day’ to remember for Marcus Stroman and the Chicago Cubs — even at a faster pace

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:26:43 GMT

Murphy’s Bleachers dubbed it “Stropening Day” on its marquee, and opening day 2023 at Wrigley Field certainly was an eventful one for Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman.The Stropener was not your grandfather’s opener, but it definitely was in tune with the times.Before the game, the Cubs starter crouched in front of the 400-foot marker at the center field wall to collect his thoughts. He then pitched six shutout innings in a 4-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers and made history on the way by committing the first-ever pitch clock violation in major-league history.Afterward, Stroman wore sunglasses to his postgame news conference and talked about getting “chills” from Cubs fans celebrating opening day. He vowed to let these kind of moments sink in, unlike the past.“There’d be a certain amount of times, you really want to just take it in,” he said. “I feel like I’ve been better about that recently. I feel like in my past,...

The Bruins’ top amateur prospect took the next big step in his career on Friday.After finishing up his sophomore season at Ohio State, defenseman Mason Lohrei signed an amateur tryout contract to play for the Providence Bruins. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound should get some valuable pro experience while playing for the playoff-bound P-Bruins.A late bloomer, the 22-year-old Lohrei had an excellent career in Columbus after the B’s chose him in the second round (58th overall) in the 2020 draft when he was still a member of the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers.The Verona, Wisconsin native spent another season with the Gamblers before moving on to the Buckeyes, for whom he had 4-25-29 totals in 31 games his freshman season. In his sophomore season, which ended on Sunday when OSU was ousted by Quinnipiac from the NCAA tournament, he had 4-28-32 totals in 40 games after starting slowly while bouncing back from a knee injury.It is difficult to see Lohrei — a big, offensive-minded ...
