| | | | | I pity anyone still upset over Shaq leaving more than two decades ago and clutching your pearls over his number being retired. ... Wander Franco had $182M contract. Think about that. ...The Magic can end their losing streak tonight, but it'll have to come at defending champ Denver. Upside: The Nuggets had to come from 20-plus down Thursday night to beat Golden State in San Francisco on Nikola Jokic's heave at the buzzer. This will be the second of a road-home back-to-back. ... If Baker Mayfield is compromised physically and Tampa Bay is on the road, even if it's lowly Carolina this isn't a gimme. It 's a division game and ruining the Bucs' postseason chances is motivation for a two-win team desperate to find some. | | | | Shaquille O'Neal as the Walt Disney of the sports in Orlando. Before him, there was nothing and then he came to town and built a Magic kingdom. Except Disney World is still here. Shaq World vaporized in a poof of pixie dust when he bolted Orlando for the glitz and glamor of Hollywood and the Lakers. | | | | | A lot has changed for the Magic as opposing teams have had recent success against them on the road and at Kia Center.

To reach the NCAA Tournament, the Gators will have to grow from the experience. | | | | | The ceremony will be held during a home game vs. the Thunder on Feb. 13, Orlando's lone national TV appearance this year. O'Neal, who serves as an analyst on the award-winning TV show "Inside the NBA" on TNT, becomes the first player in franchise history to have his number retired. | | | | | TAMPA — Had the Bucs practiced Wednesday, sore ribs would have kept Baker Mayfield from participating. But the quarterback made it painfully obvious why he plans to do everything in his power to play Sunday: for a chance to win the NFC South title with a win at Carolina, a team that discarded him a […] | | | | | Miami will have to get its pass rush from a committee that will feature Melvin Ingram and Emmanuel Ogbah opposite Andrew Van Ginkel in the aftermath of losing Bradley Chubb for the season. | | | | | The Hurricanes enter 2024 with tinged optimism: Miami has added talented young players but missed their top transfer quarterback target.
