Pride ready to embark on another winning streak • Gators reflect on topsy-turvy season that ends one round short of CWS final
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, June 21, 2024 | | |
| | | | | The Lakers did it. They've officially gone from NBA franchise to a reality show on the level of the Kardashians. Unless they're championship level good (and with LBJ and AD that guarantees they'll at least be decent as in have a winning record), hiring former Magic guard JJ Redick comes with little upside. What a way to learn the ropes on the most marquee team in the league. ... The Pride are on a down swing, getting just two points in the last two games. They 're still undefeated for the season and were playing away from home. They're back at Inter&Co Stadium tonight. ... The Gators have a lot to be proud of. They didn't return to the CWS final but came close after a season that looked anything but promising. ... Leave it to the NCAA to fix something -- the NCAA Tournament -- that's not broken by trying to add more teams. Guess what then? There'll still be teams/schools claiming they were snubbed by the selection committee. The driving force, of course, is 🤑. More games = more 💰. That the product gets watered down is immaterial. | | | | The 39-year-old former Duke star, a 2006 lottery pick for the Magic who played here for seven seasons and 15 overall in the NBA, will be franchise's seventh head coach in 13 years and 29th overall. | | | | | The last time these sides faced each other was a 1-0 victory by Orlando on April 12 to jumpstart a record eight-game winning streak. Utah enters on the back of a 1-0 victory against Bay FC. | | | | | Florida fell a round shy of making the championship series for the second year in a row. Players took solace in the run it took to get there. | | | | | As the questions and doubts mount with the most important game in their careers on deck, the Panthers, from their coach to several players, have a wealth of moments from their careers of occasional despair to lean on and learn from. | | | | | Ninth-inning home runs by Jose Miranda and Carlos Santana had erased a 6-2 deficit before Jonny DeLuca connected on reliever Griffin Jax's sinker to score the automatic runner and give the Rays the lead for good. | | | | | The family says in a statement released Thursday that it was West's wish to be mourned privately. | | | | | The proposals were outlined to conference commissioners by NCAA executives this week. | | | | | Coco Gauff will lead the U.S. tennis team at the Paris Olympics three years after missing the Tokyo Games because she tested positive for COVID-19. The 20-year-old Gauff, ranked No. 2, will be joined by No. 5 Jessica Pegula, Danielle Collins and Emma Navarro in women's singles. The men's singles features Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Chris Eubanks and Marcos Giron. The U.S. Tennis Association announced the roster on Thursday. Olympic tennis starts July 27 at Roland Garros, the site of the French Open. | | | | | Bronny James could be there for the taking for the Heat at next week's NBA draft, but there is plenty at play when it comes to the potential selection by any team of LeBron James' son. | | | | | If you follow Dolphins players on social media you know some of them are dug-in politically and like voicing their opinions. | | | | | Averaging a career-high 10.9 points, the Magic center finished the regular season sixth league-wide in total points off the bench (849). | | | | | Oklahoma City dealt reserve Josh Giddey to acquire an elite defensive guard in Alex Caruso. | | | | | Jordan Ivy-Curry becomes the ninth newcomer to join the Knights' roster this offseason. | | | |
