With Game 7 in the balance Sunday, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus randomly headbutted Toronto Raptors All-Star Scottie Barnes. He was issued a flagrant 1 foul after a replay review. He was lucky to have avoided a flagrant 2 penalty and an ejection. The incident took place late in the third quarter as the Cavaliers held a 76-61 lead. Cleveland had just scored a bucket, and Barnes took the inbounds pass under the basket on Torontos ensuing possession. Then apparently unprovoked Strus leaned down and drove the crown of his head into Barnes chin.Max Strus Flagrant foul on Scottie Barnes. pic.twitter.com/Fs3zSUnaGI Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) May 4, 2026Heres the full sequence.Officials immediately blew the play dead before the NBC broadcast realized what had happened. Stus was initially called for a personal foul that was upgraded to a flagrant 1 upon review.Strus pleaded his case before the review, but its hard to explain as anything other than it was an unprovoked headbutt to the face of an opponent.Max Strus headbutts Scottie Barnes in the chin, in the Raptors' backcourt. Upon review, it was upgraded to a flagrant penalty-1 (with replays)How the hell was he not ejected for it?It was not a basketball play. pic.twitter.com/kXdbu98rL6 MrBuckBuck (@MrBuckBuckNBA) May 4, 2026The result of the flagrant 1 foul was two free throws for Barnes and retention of possession by the Raptors. Barnes hit both free throws and then hit a jump shot for a four-point possession that cut Clevelands lead 76-65. But could have ended up much worse for Strus and the Cavaliers. Its difficult to argue that Strus headbutt was any sort of basketball play. It could have and probably should have resulted in a flagrant 2 penalty and Strus ejection. But Strus was allowed to remain in the game as the Cavaliers and Raptors battled down the stretch with a trip to the second round of the playoffs at stake.

The Dallas Cowboys werent shy in being aggressive in their attempt to move up in Round 1 of last months NFL Draft. Before moving from their original No. 12 overall spot in the draft via trade with the Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys made an offer to the Cleveland Browns to land in the No. 9 spot, the ESPN documentary The Pick Is In revealed.The Browns mulled it over before declining the offer, which included the Cowboys also asking for the No. 24 overall pick in exchange for picks Nos. 12 and 20, and a fifth-rounder.

Yahoo Sports senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein described the scene leading up to Fanos selection as Browns national scout Zach Ayers stumped for the Utah offensive lineman: From the two rows of scouts chairs near the entrance to the draft room, Ayers begins to explain why he designated the Utah offensive tackle an orange dot, which in Browns scouting parlance means Fano has elite character and makeup.Were getting the best tackle in this entire draft, Ayers says. This kid's rare combination of athleticism, quickness, strength, and his ability to excel on pass protection, is truly something special. He's an excellent run blocker. He's gritty, he's tough, hes rangy. And the most important thing: This is the best person in the entire draft. This is one of the highest-character guys I've done in the 10 years I've been on the road. And whatever goal or expectation we have of Spencer as a person, his goals and expectations are going to be higher than ours.This guy fits us beautifully.Despite the trade refusal, it appears the Cowboys landed their man in Ohio State safety Caleb Downs. Dallas traded with Miami to the 11th overall spot, where they selected Downs. It also eventually dealt pick No. 20 to Philadelphia, who outmaneuvered Pittsburgh to land USC wideout Makai Lemon.
