CHARLOTTE, N.C. — During a recent weekend in Georgia that served as a moment of triumph for Shawn Wheeler, the former Charlotte Checkers hockey star, he received two things: An induction, and an apology. The induction came when Wheeler earned enshrinement into the ECHL Hall of Fame, an honor he said “came as a total shock.” He became only the second Black person to make the ECHL Hall, which honors notable contributors to one of minor-league hockey’s most famous leagues. The apology? That came during the same weekend at a bar in Savannah, Georgia. Wheeler said a former opponent, whom he didn’t ...

CHICAGO — NBA All-Star weekend featured a new crossover 3-point contest Saturday between the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry and the New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu. Curry, a four-time NBA champion, holds the league’s record for most career 3-pointers made (3,642) and Ionescu has the WNBA record for most 3-pointers in a single season (128). Her 37 points out of a possible 40 — some shots are worth one point, others are two — in last season’s WNBA All-Star 3-point contest topped Curry’s shootout mark for a record across both leagues. It was truly a matchup of two of basketball’s best sh...

The Warriors’ first game out of the All-Star break against the Lakers will be much less glamorous than anticipated. LeBron James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) is listed as out for Thursday night’s Lakers-Warriors matchup in the Chase Center. James, 39, played 14 minutes in the All-Star Game on Sunday. The Lakers are currently 1.5 games ahead of the Warriors for ninth place in the Western Conference standings. Each of the final 29 games are crucial for the Warriors, who need to jump several teams in the standings to escape the play-in round. In the team’s first film session after the All-S...

What should Inter Miami fans expect of Lionel Messi in 2024 with his first full season in Major League Soccer now underway? Everything, that’s all. Matters not that he will turn 37 in a few months. Time is the constraint of mere mortals. This is Messi: Greatest of all time and greater than time itself. Are we serious? Another question: Can there be too much hyperbole when applied to this man? And now Messi is joined not only by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba again, but by new attacker Luis Suarez to form a Big 4. The superteam on paper looked the part on grass in much of Wednesday night’s seas...

SAN DIEGO — Every spring training deserves a Tony Gwynn story — such as the one from 25-plus years ago, when Mr. Padre untracked a young Rockies hitter who last month learned he'll get his own bronze bust. Knowing Todd Helton was having a hard time in his second big league season, Gwynn chatted up the former first-round pick and corrected a flaw. How do we know Gwynn assisted Helton, despite the two being on different teams? Because Helton mentioned Gwynn's technical pointers on the day he found out he was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. "Tony said, 'Todd, where do you look when you're l...

JUPITER, Fla. — Trey Mancini last season watched what the Miami Marlins did from a distance. He saw a scrappy team with an underdog mentality push its way into the playoffs and defy the odds they were given. After being inside the clubhouse for one week of spring training, he has a better understanding of how they got to that point. “It’s such a close-knit team,” Mancini said. “It’s always great to come in into a situation like that.” Mancini is with the Marlins on a minor-league deal. The 31-year-old first baseman has a track record for being a professional hitter and can play solid defense b...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three days days before the new year, Missouri’s football program capped its best season in a decade with a Cotton Bowl win against Ohio State, the Tigers’ first bowl win against a top-10 team since 1960. Nine months earlier, the men’s basketball program won its first NCAA Tournament game in 13 years. And now, at the onset of 2024? The school’s gymnastics, wrestling and softball teams are ranked in the top 15. One more thing: Two weeks ago, the athletics department announced a record $62 million donation. Been a pretty good run in Columbia. Oh, except for the stunner that cam...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — NBC Sports California’s pregame and postgame shows will be missing a familiar face when the Kings return from the All-Star break to play the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday at Golden 1 Center. An NBC Sports California spokesperson told The Sacramento Bee Matt Barnes will no longer be appearing on the network. Barnes, a Sacramento native who twice played for the Kings during his 14-year NBA career, declined to comment Tuesday when contacted by The Bee. Barnes, 43, was in his third season as a studio analyst at NBC Sports California after joining the Kings broadcast team in 20...

NEW YORK — Rick Pitino stands by his controversial criticisms of his St. John’s players, saying amid backlash that he “wasn’t ripping anybody.” The 71-year-old coach expressed frustration with what he described as a lack of athleticism and toughness following Sunday’s back-breaking loss to Seton Hall, during which St. John’s blew a 19-point lead. “I truly wasn’t ripping anybody,” Pitino told Newsday after receiving heat for his comments. “I was pointing out exactly — in a monotone voice — why we lost. … I am not always calm and certainly not when I rip someone.” Sunday’s loss marked the reelin...
