Gabriel Langton contested the floor, rings and parallel bars before falling on the horizontal bar in the final rotation [Getty Images]A sickening injury to England's Gabriel Langton overshadowed his team's silver medal in the men's team gymnastics final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.The 19-year-old, from the City of Birmingham Gymnastics Club, needed lengthy treatment on the mat after a horrible fall in the final rotation of the evening at The Arena.Langton fell head first to the floor after missing his catch on the horizontal metal bar, three metres in the air, leading to a lengthy delay to the action as he was tended to by up to a dozen medical staff.He was eventually led away on a trolley after being moved on to a stretcher with his head and neck braced and left to huge applause from the packed crowd who had spent much of the previous 10 minutes in hushed silence.Langton was seen to be conscious and moving his legs and arms before leaving the arena floor, while team officials later said he was moving and speaking to doctors.When competition resumed, his England team-mates were unable to overhaul their deficit to Canada who claimed their first gold medal in the event in 20 years, having finished second to England at the past two games.Langton, a late call-up to Team England in the place of the injured six-time Olympic medallist Max Whitlock, was unable to join his teammates on the podium as England collected their silver medals.Team-mate Luke Whitehouse, who was first on to the apparatus after the competition restarted and posted a relatively low score of 11.700, said: "When something like that happens, you've just got to forget about it and reset. I just had to focus on my routine one skill at a time." Whitehouse added: "From what we've heard, he's doing OK. Gymnastics is such a dangerous sport and things like this remind us of that. It's one of those things you have to put out of your mind."Felix Dolci, who helped Canada to gold and led qualifying for the all-around competition said: "It's terrible but it goes to show that gymnastics is a very very difficult and complicated sport. It's dangerous you know sometimes. "All our thoughts go to Gabriel and the team. Pushing through this is definitely not easy, (England) stayed focussed, they stayed in the zone, a huge shout out to them because that's not an easy one. "For any gymnast that was on the field of play, seeing this not only is difficult, but something you never want to see. It goes to show how hard the sport is."Hamish Carter from Team Scotland - who narrowly missed out on a bronze medal to Australia in the final rotation - said: "I didn't actually see what happened. I'm just so happy that he's alright and, having experienced that, anything could have happened. "We've walked away with no medal but I'm thinking of Gabe in this moment."Scott overcomes pressure and big pal Dean to give Scotland golden startScotland win three medals in 45 minutes to kick-start Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games daily schedule

Oct 28, 2025; Los Angeles, California, USA; Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Addison Barger (47) warms up before the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers during game four of the 2025 MLB World Series at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images | Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn ImagesI remember, when I was young and playing sports, the parents, who we called coaches, said give 110%. Well, you cant/shouldnt do it all the time. You go all out, you are likely to injury something, Addison Barger is going to have season ending elbow surgery. Hell either have Tommy John or an internal brace surgery. Either way, hes likely to be out until the start of the 2027 season. If it is Tommy John, hell likely miss the first part of the season. Apparently, his elbow had been bothering him for a while, then he threw that 101.2 mph throw to get Jorge Soler at the plate on May 9th. All the best in your recovery Addison.

SEATTLE, WA - DECEMBER 23: Nick Vannett #81 of the Seattle Seahawks celebrates his touchdown with a fan during the second quarter of the game aganst the Kansas City Chiefs at CenturyLink Field on December 23, 2018 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesOn the eve of the first day of training camp, the Seattle Seahawks have found their replacement at tight end for the recently waived Harrison Bryant, and its one of their own draft picks from a decade ago. Nick Vannett, a 2016 third-round selection out of Ohio State, has returned to the Seahawks for the first time since he was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2019. Vannett most recently played for the Los Angeles Rams, having been poached off the Minnesota Vikings practice squad. He was one of three tight ends Seattle tried out earlier this week.The 33-year-old Vannett caught 48 passes for 463 yards and four touchdowns during his Seahawks career. He was primarily a blocking tight end who backed up Jimmy Graham at the start of his career and then was essentially the top tight end on the roster in 2018 following injuries to Ed Dickson and Will Dissly. To make room for Vannett on the 90-man roster, the Seahawks waived cornerback Tyrone Broden with an injury designation. Broden was on the PUP list with an undisclosed injury before he was let go.Welcome back, Nick!

Patrick Mahomes, who attended the soccer World Cup final with his wife Brittany, has been cleared to return to practice with the Kansas City Chiefs (CHARLY TRIBALLEAU)Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been cleared to return to full practice as he recovers from tearing knee ligaments late last season.The three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback is "extremely optimistic" about lining up for the first game of regular season in September, said his coach Andy Reid."Right now he's been cleared to go ahead and participate fully" in practice, Reid told reporters Friday at the team's Missouri pre-season training camp.The 30-year-old star, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, led the Chiefs to five Super Bowls in six seasons and three crowns.A disappointing season for the Chiefs last year was capped in December when Mahomes tore left knee ligaments, requiring surgery for the first major injury in his nine-year NFL career.Mahomes on Friday vowed to prove to "everybody that I'm the same quarterback I was before, if not better."The NFL superstar said his rehab had left him "stronger than I've ever felt," and was turning his attention to "that quarterback stuff" like moving and reacting quickly in the pocket.Admitting he had played poorly in the latter stages of last season, Mahomes expressed hope that the injury had ultimately "helped me kind of focus on those little things as I get back to being who I am."Last month, the Chiefs reworked Mahomes's contract to extend his tenure through 2033, with the revamped deal worth a historic reported total of $504.75 million.The $64 million annual average value of the deal, beginning in 2027, is an NFL record.The Chiefs kick off their 2026 campaign on September 14 against the Denver Broncos, with Mahomes determined to feature."I'm optimistic, and I know he is extremely optimistic," said Reid.amz/js

After the Cleveland Cavaliers missed out on another LeBron James Reunion Tour, they could turn their attention toward free-agent forward Jonathan Kuminga. Cavs officials maintained contact with Kuminga and his Cleveland-based agent, Aaron Turner, throughout James free agency, and there is mutual interest, multiple league sources told The Athletic.New York TimesThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Mutual interest between Cavs, Jonathan Kuminga

Jonathan likes the Cavs, likes (coach) Kenny Atkinson, and (star) Donovan Mitchell likes him, Turner, Kumingas agent, said in a brief interview. Turner said Kuminga is fond of Cleveland generally and spent two months training there last summer. Kuminga has a relationship with Atkinson from when the coach was an assistant under Steve Kerr at Golden State. While both sides confirmed interest, it is unclear which avenue the Cavs might take to acquire Kuminga if they decide on that path.New York TimesThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Jonathan likes the Cavs, likes (coach) Kenny

League sources, who spoke on the condition anonymity to discuss ongoing negotiations, said what the Lakers are prepared to offer Atlanta in a trade is underwhelming, whereas Cleveland has potentially more appealing trade pieces. The Cavs have been linked to possible trades of veteran forward Max Strus ($16 million) and point guard Dennis Schrder ($14 million). To execute a sign-and-trade transaction, Cleveland must remain under the NBAs first salary apron of roughly $209 million, which is why James Harden remains unsigned.New York TimesThis article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: To execute a sign-and-trade transaction, Cleveland

The Decision 4.0 wasn't a grandiose television spectacle that captivated millions of viewers. Nor was it an emotional return home or an emboldened attempt to etch an imprint into a historic franchise's tapestry.LeBron James' resolution, choosing the Philadelphia 76ers as his fourth and final destination entering his 24th season, was a move not rooted in flash or pizazz but one centered in logic. In contention."I still want to sacrifice," the 41-year-old said on his X account on what had been an eerily quiet Friday morning. "I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship."The tail end of James' three-part message which in itself is a clear indication of the very online times society is in offered some insight into the reasoning behind his ultimate decision. He thanked Los Angeles, professed his love for Miami and reaffirmed his family ties to Cleveland. There was no mention of Golden State, no nod to Minnesota and no acknowledgment of any other team that had reportedly positioned itself for a potential arrival.Much of the league landscape has been on pause since LeBron decided to leave the Lakers; a billion-dollar industry waiting hand and foot on him for schedule planning purposes; a blockbuster trade essentially being placed on hold pending a salary-cap circumvention investigation; a collection of veteran players anticipating trickle-down effects.But ultimately, what gave the 76ers the edge compared to options like the Heat and Cavaliers is the ability to compete, right now. James will be 42 years old by the time next season's playoffs roll around too risky of a ploy to hitch his wagon for one last ride to a Miami roster that remains incomplete, even after trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and a Cleveland team with more fit questions than answers. Sometimes, the best answer is the simplest one."S***, they're trying to go get a championship," Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. told Yahoo Sports. "I respect it."What LeBron is walking into is a ready-made group from Day 1. You'd be hard-pressed to find a team in any offseason, maybe ever, that can replace Paul George, Quentin Grimes, Andre Drummond and Kelly Oubre Jr. with James, Jaylen Brown, Dean Wade and Anfernee Simons. (Also, what a summer for new lead executive Mike Gansey!) Philly's projected starting lineup Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Brown, James and Joel Embiid immediately forms the most talented five-man unit in the East sans New York.(The road to the Larry O'Brien still runs through Manhattan, just to be clear. Despite losing Mitchell Robinson to Boston, I'd place decent amounts of money on the Knicks' front seven juxtaposed with just about any team in the NBA. The Nick Nurse factor definitely influences things his new toys would fare far better than the hand he was dealt a few months ago in the second round but it appears these two teams are on a collision course to May, all things considered.)Now to the fun stuff: What does this look like from a basketball standpoint?Examining from a micro lens, the 76ers have more than enough talent to keep LeBron's legs fresh during the regular season, a slew of innings eaters who should limit his day-to-day workload (despite playing 22 games less than veteran wing Bruce Brown, James finished with just eight fewer total minutes).This doesn't factor in his actual in-game usage, though. There's a reason why James' usage or assist rate hasn't dipped below the 97th percentile in a quarter of a century and why I'd expect the 76ers to provide him with as much half-court accommodations as possible. The Lakers finishing sixth in playoff assists per game (compared to Philly's bottom-three performance) is a miracle, no less without the services of Luka Doni and with a hobbled Austin Reaves. That the 76ers finished 29th during the regular season in assists is no surprise, either. Maxey is best served as a turbo engine (scaling back his need to create for others should help with his efficiency even more) and George/Embiid/Edgecombe were capable connectors (all three averaged just about four assists per game) but none can offer what James brings from a pure playmaking perspective. There's also enough historic data that shows that if you space the floor for LeBron, he'll find you better shots. Basically, James excels at a glaring Philadelphia weakness, will serve as a much-needed connector for Brown and Maxey, and allow those talented perimeter scorers to flourish even more than they already have in their respective careers.(Defensively, it's humorous to refer to anything James-related as underrated after 23 years, but his ability to deter shots from the rim, paired with Embiid's ability to thwart such attempts, should pair well for a team that sat around league average in defensive rating for a majority of the year.)He's the smartest player in basketball history, knows how to scale up or down his role based on accompanying personnel, and should provide a ton of regular-season value. There will naturally be an adjustment period four players used to having the ball in their hands an awful lot will need to learn how to not do that but there's enough smarts and know-how to go around."I don't know what it looks like, man," said one player who's faced LeBron dozens of times. "Ain't gonna lie. Everything takes time. It'll take time to figure out for sure. But that starting five is four All-Stars and VJ. It's a lot of chefs in the kitchen, but if they can figure it out, they'll be dangerous."Spinning things forward some, the real test of James in Philly won't come until April, May and maybe June. To that degree, LeBron is still regarded as a playoff riser. In the history of professional basketball, the list of players in NBA history to average at least 23 points, six rebounds and seven assists at age 35 is only four deep. They're all named LeBron James. Even if you factor in the drop in his shooting efficiency in his most recent postseason run, his positive influence defensively when the games matter most is worth noting. It's a vastly different roster than the one that was designed around him a few months ago he shouldn't be tasked with Herculean efforts such as dragging a Lakers team across the first-round finish line. And for what it's worth, let's go ahead and do away with the Western Conference as the NBA's powerhouse, at least in the immediate future. It's an Eastern Conference world now."It's gonna be good, man," Carter said. "It's usually been the West being the best, but I feel like the East has kind of reshaped itself. It's going to be an exciting NBA run for sure."Full disclaimer: We're still in late July. The 76ers still need a training camp, preseason and some months to really figure out what this thing looks like. There will be growing pains as this uber-talented roster learns to understand each other and some nights will look better than others. The well-documented injury history pertaining to Embiid (and quietly James he's played in 60 games or less in five out of the last eight seasons) will come into play at some point. But my goodness this has a chance to be something phenomenal, and LeBron's last decision might be his most important yet.
