Haliburton’s return adds intrigue to Central Division

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Tyrese Haliburton is back from an Achilles tendon injury to try helping the Indiana Pacers reassert themselves as title contenders. Much has changed in the NBA Central Division during the two-time all-NBA guard's year of recovery. Haliburton tore his right Achilles during Indiana's Game 7 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals, knocking him out for the entire 2025-26 season. During his time away, the Detroit Pistons made a dramatic rise to the top of the Eastern Conference regular-season standings, the Milwaukee Bucks traded two-time MVP Giannis ...

No. 4 Buckeyes, No. 5 Hoosiers ready for a real grind

(AP) — No. 4 Ohio State and No. 5 Indiana have plenty of pizzaz on their rosters. Each school has efficient quarterbacks, elite receivers and big-play threats all over the field.

So in the only top five contest Saturday, the Buckeyes and Hoosiers will be ready to grind things out to grab the inside track to a Big Ten title game berth in this rematch of last season's league championship game. "When you stop the run and kind of try to take the legs out from underneath them, they've got to start playing ...

Brewers take 3-0 lead, have Dodgers on brink

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers hit the second-fewest home runs in baseball during the regular season, even as they topped the majors with 103 wins. Maybe they were saving their biggest swings for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell launched back-to-back homers off Blake Snell in the seventh inning, and the Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday to build a 3-0 cushion in the National League Championship Series. Jackson Chourio also went deep on the first pitch of the game to help the Brewers close within one win of their first NL pennant. ...

Rodgers building chemistry on fly with Steelers WRs

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Defining chemistry with a wide receiver is easy for Aaron Rodgers. It's a nod. A wink. A glance. A gesture. Sometimes there are no verbal or physical cues at all, but an ESP of sorts culled from hours, weeks, months, and sometimes years spent together in meetings, on the plane, at dinner, on the field. "Once it's unspoken, you know, that's where (it's) at its best," the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said. Developing it? Well, that's another matter. It's difficult even under ideal circumstances, and there's not a lot of that to go around in Pittsburgh at the ...
