Conor McGregor, reclining shirtless in the sun, provided the latest post-surgery update near palm trees and the beach and with his right knee in what appeared to be a brace.The UFC star said he had surgery this week on an injured ACL and meniscus that he apparently injured during his comeback fight July 11.What's up folks? The Mac is back, McGregor said during a video posted on social media. My knee is repaired. Surgery was a success and I'm on the road to recovery.That should tell you all you need to know about my mindset. Straight into surgery, knee repaired and on the road. Let's go."McGregor, 38, has said he hopes to return to the octagon by next summer and finish his UFC contract that has one fight left.In the video, he said he wanted to give a shout out to Dominic Cruz, the retired UFC fighter who returned from multiple ACL tears and reclaimed the bantamweight title. He also mentioned former UFC star George St. Pierre and Tom Brady, other athletes who recovered from knee injuries similar to McGregors.These are my motivation here, especially the fighting boys, McGregor said. You, Cruz. Unstoppable, baby. My mindset is unstoppable, unbreakable.McGregor appeared to injure himself when he opened the right with a flying kick in his first fight in five years. The referee stopped the fight 69 seconds after it started and Holloway won by TKO.The right knee wasnt his only focus in the video update.I want to do something about this hair, McGregor said, still sporting the mohawk he wore into the Octagon for his comeback fight. I'm not sure just what yet. Stay tuned folks.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Conor McGregor says 'mindset is unbreakable' after undergoing surgery

In the month of April, Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. committed at least two backcourt turnovers late in close games.One occurred in a narrow regular-season victory over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks, while the second came in Houstons third playoff game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. That Game 3 turnover ignited a sequence in which the Rockets blew a six-point lead with under 35 seconds to play, and they went on to lose in overtime.To say the least, that devastating home collapse proved pivotal in what became a 4-2 series loss in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.In both cases, with Houston leading by six points, the turnover occurred because Smith attempted to pass the ball prematurely or unnecessarily. Ime Udoka, head coach of the Rockets, noted that simply holding or keeping the ball was an option.Smith is a good free-throw shooter, so its not as if he was trying to avoid being fouled. Instead, it seemed that he didnt want to face a pressing defender and risk having the ball stolen.Lakers/Rockets game 3 final thoughts:-Marcus Smart might get his jersey retired in LA-LeBron has to be running on fumes, idk how he keeps doing it-This turnover from Jabari is an all-time blunder. The Lakers weren't even fouling. Brutal for the Rocketspic.twitter.com/Jd0wO0FTMS Hot Hand Theory (@HotHandTheory) April 25, 2026With that in mind, Smiths offseason focal point shouldnt come as a surprise. On ESPNs Chiney Today podcast, Smith said of his ongoing work:I definitely want to get better and more comfortable at handling the ball this year. Being able to handle and relieve that pressure from Fred (VanVleet) and the other guards who have to handle the ball the whole game.Im trying to improve every aspect (of my game), but I feel like ball-handling is the area where I can take the biggest jump.Im trying to just get stronger with the ball. Not necessarily doing a million moves, but being strong with it. and being able to get to my spots. I think thatll open my game up a lot.The complete episode can be viewed below.Smith is just 23 years old, so there is certainly still time for him to improve at this apparent deficiency and become more confident as a ball-handler.Considering that Smith remains one of Houstons most important defensive rebounders, it would be a useful skill to acquire. Should an opponent miss a clutch-time shot, Smiths rebounding proficiency means that hes likely to initially hold the ball on Houstons ensuing possession. Ideally, he wouldnt always feel the need to immediately pass it away, thereby risking a turnover.And in the frontcourt, late-game defenses will often try to overplay versus a strong ball-handler, such as VanVleet or Marcus Smart, or a dynamic scorer like Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun. In turn, that can make it more likely for a supporting piece like Smith to have the ball funneled his way.The hope is that in the 2026-27 season, the Auburn product will be better equipped to handle those types of scenarios. As Smith pointed out, better ball-handling could also help him get to his preferred shooting spots more frequently throughout each game, which could lead to superior halfcourt efficiency.Jabari Smith on coach Ime Udoka, new podcast: "He allows everybody to be free. He allows everybody to do different things. And I think that's what I love about him most. He's a players coach. Very encouraging, very uplifting." #Rocketshttps://t.co/NRV1JjZxQU Chris A. White (@fyrebear) August 7, 2026Training camp begins for Smith and the Rockets in late September. Houston is coming off consecutive seasons with a 52-30 record before losing in the first round of the playoffs, and the Rockets are hoping to move at least one step further in the upcoming campaign.Smith is coming off a year in which he averaged a career-high 15.8 points (45.0% FG, 36.3% on 3-pointers) and 6.9 rebounds per game, and he is expected to again start at power forward while remaining a key part of Houstons winning formula.More: Horrendous mistakes: Rockets choke Game 3 vs. Lakers in epic fashionThis article originally appeared on Rockets Wire: Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. turns offseason focus to ball handling

India vs Bangladesh series: Exploring why the proposed white ball tour is yet to be cleared originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.KEY TAKEAWAYS:India-Bangladesh white-ball series still in doubt despite positive talks.Sheikh Hasina's Delhi press conference sparks diplomatic tension between the nations.Tamim Iqbal pushes for tour; India's Afghanistan series backup plan.Why India's white-ball tour of Bangladesh remains uncertainIndia's proposed tour of Bangladesh is reportedly moving in a positive direction, with conversations now taking place at senior government levels on both sides.The six-match white-ball series, originally planned for August 2025, was pushed back to September 2026 after mutual agreement between the two boards, largely due to strained political relations between the neighbouring countries.According to a report from RevSportz, officials from both governments are actively engaging on whether the series can proceed as planned. Should everything fall into place, India would travel to Bangladesh for a brief white-ball tour, though the final call ultimately rests with government authorities on both sides rather than the cricket boards alone.Theres a good chance of the series happening, said a source quoted by Revsportz.Cricket can be used to normalise relations between the two countries and theres a positive approach from both sides. The decision will be taken at the highest government level and if all is well, then the tour might happen sooner rather than later.There are signs of improving ties betwen the two countries under Bangladesh's new Prime Minister, Tarique Rahman. India has resumed granting tourist visas to Bangladeshi citizens, while Dinesh Trivedi, India's High Commissioner to Bangladesh, has been elevated to Cabinet rank.MORE:Steve Waugh's classy gesture after infamous 'Bangladesh don't deserve Test cricket' remark recalled 23 years later BCCI/Creimas WillSheikh Hasina's press conference derail the India-Bangladesh cricket series?Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been sentenced to death byBangladeshs International Crimes Tribunal, held a press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday, which was not taken lightly by the Rahman government in Dhaka.They responded furiously and expressed their outrage over what it described as hostile remarks directed at the Bangladeshi state during the briefing.Bangladesh is outraged that the absconding convicted genocider Sheikh Hasina was allowed this evening to engage in live interaction with the media in New Delhi where she and her henchmen launched venomous vitriol against the State of Bangladesh and her people," a statement read.Dhaka deeply regrets that in spite of concerns conveyed a priori to the Government of India about the likely ramifications of this event on the reset of our bilateral relations, this public event was permitted to be held.India's Ministry of External Affairs, however, clarified that the government had no involvement in organising the event, with spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stating it had been arranged by a "private media entity".However, the report mentions that when the source was asked whether this incident could jeopardise the cricket series, the source dismissed the concern outright.MORE:India vs Bangladesh series put in doubt after latest BCB media rights delayBCB president Tamim Iqbal pushes to salvage the India-Bangladesh seriesDespite the complications, discussions with the Bangladesh Cricket Board continue, and board president Tamim Iqbal is reportedly working hard to keep the tour alive.Time, however, is running short. Tamim's recent visit to India, which included a tour of the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru and informal conversations with board officials, briefly reignited optimism around the series proceeding as planned.Under the original schedule, India's squad was expected to depart for Dhaka on August 28, leaving both boards with a race against the clock to finalise a decision.The proposed series, comprising three ODIs and three T20Is, would mark the first bilateral engagement between the two nations since Bangladesh declined to tour India and pulled out of the T20 World Cup earlier this year, citing security concerns.India last toured Bangladesh in 2022, while Bangladesh's most recent bilateral series against India came in late 2024. Should the tour ultimately fall through, India is expected to instead host Afghanistan for a three-match limited-overs series in New Delhi.For all the latest cricket news, opinion, and commentary, and to share your voice, head to ourFacebook,InstagramandX (Twitter)pages.

Wrexham and Middlesbrough square off as EFL Cup action starts

Not just PSG: Mika Godts also a target of Barcelona and Bayern MunichBarcelona and Bayern Munich were reportedly interested in Ajax star winger Mika Godts before they secured alternative targets.While PSG appear to be the only club to have made a concrete move for Godts, club watcher Mike Verweij has mentioned the Belgian being courted by both Barca and Bayern.As Godts featured for Ajax as they beat Shelbourne 3-1 in the Europa Conference League third round qualifying round, the Amsterdam club prepared to receive a second bid of between 50 and 55 million euros from the Parisians.Speaking on the Kick-off show, Verweij said of the wide mans continued on-field presence: Mika Godts wants to say goodbye to Ajax in a very good and beautiful way.I also spoke briefly yesterday with his agent Niels De Jonck, who was also in the stadium. He said: not playing football was never an option. But of course, there may come a moment when Ajax and PSG get closer, and it is the wisest course of action for all parties.Verweij then revealed that two other big clubs were previously in for Godts. I also heard yesterday, and not from Niels De Jonck, that Barcelona and Bayern Munich were very seriously in the market for Mika Godts.Bayern ultimately wanted a player who could also play as a number nine, which is why they eventually chose Saibari. So it was indeed a trade-off between Godts and Saibari. On behalf of Barcelona, Deco (the clubs sporting director) visited the Arena several times to scout Godts. That is probably the reason why Jordi Cruyff has said: if clubs like this come forward, let him play here for another year. Then he wont lose his value.GBeNeFN|Max Bradfield

CANTON, OH Despite a shoulder injury that nearly ended his career and famously put him on the path to becoming a New Orleans Saint, Drew Brees could sling the pigskin all over the field during his career as an NFL quarterback, like a point guard on the basketball court.Brees, a member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 who will be inducted Saturday, Aug. 8, was dishing out something else Friday morning here chicken tenders, crinkle-cut fries and Texas toast.Along with the perspective that comes with being a Super Bowl champion with the Saints, Walter Payton Man of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year. Brees' indoctrination began Thursday night with a toast from the current and future Hall of Famers in the gallery where a bronze bust of each player voted in rests. "When you're getting toasted by Willie Lanier and Mean Joe Greene, and you're clinking glasses with Lawrence Taylor, it starts to sink in a little bit, that 'Wow, this is pretty unique,'" Brees told USA TODAY Sports.He expected the annual Friday afternoon luncheon for gold jackets only to have a "profound" effect, especially since the incoming inductees remain silent while a microphone is passed around the room. Some of Brees' itinerary has been kept secret, he said, to preserve a surprise factor throughout the weekend-long celebration. 2026 NFL RECORD PREDICTIONS: Win totals for all 32 teams, playoff predictionsBrees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly, Roger Craig and Adam Vinatieri the Class of 2026 walked the 50-yard line as players from both teams in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game, the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers, surrounded them on either side."Just having all the fans in the stands, you get the energy in the stadium, obviously the start of the 2026 season here ... but honestly, just being there with my class of guys, the more time we spend together, the more bonded we feel," Brees said. "To be part of this elite club is pretty special." Baylen Brees, Drew's son who became famous two decades ago as a baby for wearing hearing protection amid the Super Bowl celebration, made a cameo during his father's interview on NBC during the game Thursday night. Having his four children around as his career wound down is something that made his twilight years special, Brees said. "They were starting to realize what Dad did and come to the facility with me on certain days, go steal gloves out of Mike Thomas' locker, jump in the cold tub and the whirlpool with me and everything," Brees said. "Those were some cool moments." With an especially "cool" one loading.

Lakers expected to part ways with disappointing $18M former first-rounder, says Lakers insider originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Los Angeles Lakers have made a flurry of moves this offseason, starting on the right foot by trading for Walker Kessler in what became a major acquisition. They then continued building around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves to create a stronger roster for the upcoming season.However, the Lakers may have built a little too much. Los Angeles currently sits one roster spot over the NBAs limit.There are, however, obvious holes. With 16 roster spots, the Lakers would need to get rid of at least one player, though they can carry as many as 20 through training camp in October," Heavy.com's Sean Deveney wrote.The Lakers know they will eventually have to trim down their roster. However, the organization appears to be exploring the trade market first to see if they can make another deal or two before being forced into a difficult decision. Players such as Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt have emerged as potential trade candidates.The Lakers are actively shopping Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt in trade talks. After gaining two second-round picks in the Deandre Ayton trade, Los Angeles could consolidate those assets in a deal immediately for a starting-caliber wing," NBA reporter Evan Sidery wrote.If the Lakers are unable to complete a trade before reducing their roster to 15 players, several names could be at risk of being waived. Lakers insider Jovan Buha believes former first-round pick Dalton Knecht may be the most likely player to be moved on from.It doesn't really matter from a financial perspective unless you're waiving someone who's got additional years. So, I guess it's a competition between Bronny, Jaden Hardy, and Dalton Knecht. I think I'd probably lean Dalton," Buha said. "If any of the other wings get injured, it's just play one of the other wings more minutes, and it's not put Dalton in the rotation. So, he's the one that's the most expendable."It is a harsh reality for a player who took the NBA world by storm during the first month of his career. However, Knechts situation with the Lakers changed after he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets before the deal was ultimately rescinded and he returned to Los Angeles.Knecht is currently on a $18 million rookie contract. If the Lakers decide to move on from him, it would not create a major financial setback for the organization. However, it would mark the end of what feels like a pivotal moment in Knechts young career.More NBA news:Heat, Nuggets, Cavs, Wizards reportedly battling for $305M future Hall of Famer, 6-time All-StarCavaliers get trade update on Nuggets' Peyton Watson after moving on from Jonathan KumingaLeBron James' $277M ex-Cavaliers championship teammate wants 76ers reunion before retirementLakers, Heat hit with brutal trade update for ex-Warriors' Klay Thompson after mavericks decision
