MIAMI (AP) — It’s Wilt, then Bam. Bam Adebayo had a night for all time on Tuesday, with a point total second to only Wilt Chamberlain in the NBA record books. Adebayo scored 83 points, setting league marks for free throws made and attempted in a game for the Miami Heat in a 150-129 win over the Washington Wizards. Adebayo started with a 31-point first quarter — and never stopped rolling. He was up to 43 at halftime, 62 by the end of the third quarter. And then came the fourth, when the milestones kept falling despite facing double-, triple- and what once appeared to be a quadruple-team from a Wizards defense that kept sending him to the foul line.
The blockbuster trade sending star pash rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens is off. And the fallout from that reversal could have a ripple effect throughout the NFL on the eve of the new league year. The Las Vegas Raiders said Tuesday night that Baltimore backed out of the trade that was supposed to send Crosby to the Ravens for two first-round draft picks. The deal was agreed to last Friday but couldn’t be finalized until Wednesday. A person with knowledge of Baltimore’s decision told The Associated Press that Crosby failed his physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because those results are private.
MIAMI (AP) — FIFA is still anticipating that Iran's national team will be allowed to come to the United States, even with war going on between the countries, and compete in the World Cup that begins in about three months. Iran and is scheduled to play in Inglewood, California, against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium on June 21 before finishing group play against Egypt in Seattle on June 26. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said he met with President Donald Trump on Tuesday night “to discuss the status of preparations” for the tournament and received assurances that Iran would be permitted to come to the U.S.
HOUSTON (AP) — The surprising loss by the United States to Italy in the World Baseball Classic Tuesday night means that the Americans need help to advance to the quarterfinals. The 8-6 defeat left the team with a 3-1 record at the end of its pool schedule. Mexico and Italy wrap up Pool B play Wednesday night where a win by the Italians will give the U.S. second place and a spot in the next round. If Mexico wins then all three teams will move to 3-1 and 1-1 against each other and send it to a tiebreaker. The tiebreaker is the number of runs allowed in games between the tied teams.
The official report from MLB's replay review says a critical play in the Los Angeles Dodgers' wild Game 7 World Series win last year was determined by feet, not inches. Toronto's Isiah Kiner-Falefa was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the ninth inning on a play that would have won it for the Blue Jays. Catcher Will Smith's foot briefly came off the plate while he caught the ball. Replays showed his foot reconnected with the plate while Kiner-Falefa was inches away. Fans lamented Kiner-Falefa's conservative lead off third base. But MLB's report says Smith's foot was on the plate when he initially caught the ball, while Kiner-Falefa still several feet away. Smith homered in the 11th inning and the Dodgers held on to win.
A person with knowledge of the deal says quarterback Geno Smith is returning to where his career started after the New York Jets acquired him in a trade with Las Vegas. The Raiders could have been in position to release Smith. They are expected to take Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in the draft next month. Detroit reached an agreement on the second day of free agency to add running back Isiah Pacheco as a replacement for David Montgomery after the Lions traded Jahmyr Gibbs’ backup last week.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lakers superstar Luka Doncic says he has separated from the mother of his two young daughters and is in a custody dispute. TMZ reported that Anamaria Goltes filed a petition for child support and attorneys’ fees in California. Doncic then released a statement saying he had recently ended his engagement to Goltes because he was unable to have his daughters with him in the U.S. during the season. The 27-year-old Doncic and Goltes had been dating for a decade after meeting as teenagers in Slovenia. They became engaged in July 2023, and their daughters were born in November 2023 and December 2025.
HOUSTON (AP) — Cal Raleigh insists he has no beef with Randy Arozarena even though his Seattle teammate lashed out with a vulgar rant after Raleigh left him hanging for a handshake at the World Baseball Classic. The kerfuffle went viral when Arozarena, a two-time All-Star outfielder, cursed out Raleigh to a reporter after the Team USA catcher did not accept a handshake before an at-bat in the United States’ 5-3 win over Mexico. Speaking to Mexican journalist Luis Gilbert in Spanish, Arozarena said Raleigh “has to thank God that he has nice parents, well educated.” Raleigh says he loves Arozarena, calling him his “brother.”
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey will by sidelined for at least three weeks because of a tendon injury on the small finger of his right hand. The team announced the injury Tuesday. Maxey injured his finger in Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks in a collision with teammate Adem Bona with 16 seconds remaining in the 76ers’ 126-116 loss. He is averaging 29.0 points and 6.7 assists for Philadelphia (34-30), which entered its game Tuesday against Memphis in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with four losses in the last five games. The 76ers said Maxey consulted with multiple hand specialists. He will be evaluated again in three weeks.
Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid took giant strides toward the Champions League quarterfinals with big wins in the first leg. Liverpool and Barcelona still have work to do. Bayern thrashed Atalanta 6-1 without top scorer Harry Kane in the starting lineup. And Atletico made under-pressure Tottenham coach Igor Tudor pay for his bold call to drop first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario by racing to a 3-0 lead inside 15 minutes. The Spanish giant eventually won 5-2. Liverpool needs to overturn a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in next week’s second leg at Anfield and Barcelona needed Lamine Yamal penalty with the last kick of the game to rescue a 1-1 draw at Newcastle.
