Jon Chepkevich of Draft Express broke the news Monday night, adding that if Moreno withdraws from the draft, it will be to play for Kentucky, so it appears the transfer portal is no longer an option for the Bluegrass product.Moreno has since confirmed the news on Instagram.If Im back in college next season, itll be right here with Big Blue Nation, he wrote on IG.The move allows Moreno to receive feedback from NBA scouts while preserving his college eligibility, a path many players take to better understand what they must improve before making the leap to the professional level.Moreno is coming off an impressive freshman campaign in which he exceeded expectations. Originally viewed as a developmental piece, he was thrown into a starting role early in the season by Mark Pope due to injuries and inconsistency in the frontcourt.He went on to average 7.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, while shooting 58.2% from the field. He also contributed 1.5 blocks per game and started 30 of 36 contests, becoming a key presence in Kentuckys lineup.Testing the draft waters will give Moreno valuable insight into areas of improvement, particularly his strength, physicality, and overall athleticism.If he does return to Kentucky, the experience could help him take a major leap in his sophomore season. If not, it shows confidence in his long-term NBA potential. Either way, this decision is a critical step in Morenos development as he works toward reaching the next level.NEWS: Kentuckys Malachi Moreno will test the NBA Draft waters, his agent George S.

United States men's national team striker Patrick Agyemangs World Cup hopes are in doubt after he was carried off on a stretcher while playing for Derby in the second-tier English Championship on Monday. Agyemang landed awkwardly while bringing the ball down on his chest and collapsed to the grass. He was visibly emotional as he was taken off, his right leg strapped. "He's gone for a scan so we'll just have to wait and see," Derby manager John Eustace said. "It's not good when a player comes off on a stretcher." In his absence, Derby beat Stoke City 2-0. Agyemang has helped Derby rise into contention for promotion from the Championship thanks to a team-leading 10 goals since arriving last summer from Charlotte in Major League Soccer. During the recent international break, he came off the bench for the United States and scored in a loss against Belgium and got minutes against Portugal. Reporting by The Associated Press.

The Bulls fired vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley on Monday. So ... what now? Here's what our insiders are hearing.

Blue Jays right-hander and three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer left Mondays game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after two innings, another potential blow to Torontos injury-hit starting rotation. The 41-year-old Scherzer, who re-signed with Toronto in February, allowed two runs and two hits. Teoscar Hernandez homered in the first, driving in Kyle Tuckers walk. Scherzers fastball averaged 93.4 mph in a March 31 start against Colorado. That dropped to 92.1 in Mondays two innings against the Dodgers. Left-hander Josh Fleming, who was called up from Triple-A Buffalo before the game, took over in the third. The Blue Jays have four starters on the injured list, including right-hander Cody Ponce. Last Monday, Ponce left his first big league appearance since 2021 in the third inning after injuring his knee while pursuing an infield grounder. Right-handers Trey Yesavage (shoulder), Jose Berrios (elbow) and Shane Bieber (elbow) are all working their way back from injuries and have yet to pitch this season. Last Friday, the Blue Jays signed 36-year-old left-hander Patrick Corbin to a one-year contract. Corbin started for Single-A Dunedin on Saturday, allowing one run in five innings.
