Austin Reaves discusses the Lakers after LeBron<\/p>\n
From Broderick Turner<\/a>: From the time Austin Reaves<\/a> joined the Lakers<\/a> in 2021 as an undrafted prospect, his basketball life centered around playing with a savant in LeBron James<\/a>.<\/p>\n That no longer will be the case.<\/p>\n Reaves re-signed with the Lakers<\/a> on a four-year, $180-million deal, but James decided to move on<\/a> as he prepares to play an unprecedented 24th season.<\/p>\n Reaves was stunned when he heard about James\u2019 decision while playing golf in Lake Tahoe. Nearly two weeks later, Reaves says he still is trying to process the development.<\/p>\n \u201cI kind of was thinking about it last night when I got here,\u201d Reaves said Monday in his first news conference since re-signing. \u201cStarting the season without him being on the team is going to be different for me. He\u2019s kind of all I\u2019ve ever known. Just him being around, joking around, acting like he\u2019s 15. But that\u2019s his decision and like I said in Tahoe, anytime I\u2019ve talked about it, I got nothing but love and respect for him and yeah, let\u2019s play some golf soon.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Lakers sign Ziaire Williams to one-year, $3-million deal to bolster their depth<\/a> <\/p>\n Go beyond the scoreboard <\/p>\n Get the latest on L.A.’s teams in the daily Sports Report newsletter.<\/p>\n By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service<\/a>, which include arbitration and a class action waiver.

In response, the managing director of the country\u2019s soccer federation resigned in disgust, and the team left South Africa winless<\/a> after scoring just once in three games.<\/p>\n That matched France\u2019s worst World Cup performance in 76 years. The team, outsiders agreed, had become impossible to coach.<\/p>\n Four years later France made the quarterfinals, beginning a streak in which it has reached the final eight in four consecutive World Cups for the first time. If France beats Spain in the semifinals Tuesday it will advance to the final for a third straight time.<\/p>\n Only Brazil and Germany have done that.<\/p>\n The base for that success was laid a generation before the collapse in South Africa, when a series of poor performances led the French Football Federation to create a series of 16 government-subsidized academies known as Centres de Formation. <\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n World Cup semifinals schedule<\/p>\n All times Pacific Tuesday Wednesday Third-place match<\/p>\n Saturday, 2 p.m.<\/p>\n Championship match<\/p>\n Sunday, noon<\/p>\n How Justin Wrobleski became an All-Star<\/p>\n From Maddie Lee<\/a>: Dodgers<\/a> left-hander Justin Wrobleski<\/a> could have been content with his performance the first couple of months this season. After all, he\u2019d come into the year fighting for a rotation spot, and he\u2019d shown in that time that he was ready to be a full-time major-league starter.<\/p>\n That wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n While still holding on to his identity as a pitcher who goes right at hitters, Wrobleski tallied 20 strikeouts over his last two starts of the first half.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just doing a good job with the plan,\u201d Wrobleski said last week, days before he was named a first-time All-Star. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m continuing to get better at knowing where to go with two strikes, knowing where to go versus a certain hitter with two strikes and just kind of reading the game.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Shaikin: Love it or hate it: Would the Dodgers\u2019 NL West rivals call a Tarik Skubal trade overkill?<\/a> <\/p>\n Shaikin: Inside the Shohei Ohtani Economy driving a wild auction for his worn cleats<\/a> <\/p>\n Sparks lose to the Dream<\/p>\n Angel Reese<\/a> had 23 points and 13 rebounds for her WNBA-leading 16th double-double of the season, Allisha Gray added 20 points, and the Atlanta Dream beat the Sparks 101-92<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n Gray made Atlanta\u2019s first field goal of the fourth quarter with 4:07 remaining to tie it at 87. Then, Reese got a friendly roll on her third made three-pointer of the season to make it 90-87 and she added two free throws on the next possession for a five-point lead. Jordin Canada capped the 9-0 run for a 94-87 lead.<\/p>\n Canada finished with 16 points and Rhyne Howard added 11 for Atlanta (14-10), which had lost six of its last seven games. Reese, who missed Saturday\u2019s game against Portland, was seven for 11 from the field and made all eight of her free throws in 32 minutes.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Sparks box score<\/a> <\/p>\n WNBA standings<\/a> <\/p>\n This day in sports history<\/p>\n 1912 \u2014 Kenneth McArthur runs Olympic record marathon (2:36:54.8).<\/p>\n 1951 \u2014 Citation is the first horse to win $1 million in a career by taking the Hollywood Gold Cup by four lengths in Inglewood.
