Cameron Carr talks about joining Lakers<\/p>\n
From Broderick Turner<\/a>: NBA mock drafts projected Cameron Carr<\/a> getting selected somewhere between 15 and 20 in the first round on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Ending up with the Lakers<\/a> later in the draft, however, was more than Carr could have asked for.<\/p>\n The Lakers acquired his draft rights<\/a> from the New York Knicks, who took the 6-foot-5 Baylor guard with the 24th pick, in a multiple-team deal in which L.A. sent the draft rights to Spanish guard Sergio De Larrea, who was taken 25th, and cash considerations to New York.<\/p>\n As he sat for his introductory news conference Friday, dressed in all black, Carr shared what his thoughts were when he found out he would be playing for the Lakers.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to the Lakers! It was more of an exciting thing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt felt surreal. It didn\u2019t feel real for the first couple minutes when I found out. It was trying to get my head around, \u2018Man, I\u2019m about to walk across the stage and be an NBA player.\u2019 I\u2019ve dreamed of this my whole life, especially since I was a kid. So it took a second. Still trying to get my head wrapped around it, but nothing but excitement and happiness. I feel more motivated to work.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/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.

But it was the free passes that really hurt him.<\/p>\n In the Dodgers\u2019 7-1 loss<\/a> to the Padres on Friday, Sasaki was out of the game before he could record an out in the fifth inning. He gave up only three hits but issued five walks, tying his season high, and hit a batter.<\/p>\n \u201cI actually felt different than I never felt before, mechanically,\u201d Sasaki said through interpreter Kensuke Okubo, noting that his lower body felt a little off. \u201cSo I need to go over it and see what was really happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Shaikin: Did Padres curse themselves by messing with that anti-Dodgers FTD burger?<\/a> <\/p>\n Dodgers box score<\/a> <\/p>\n MLB standings<\/a> <\/p>\n Angels fire their GM<\/p>\n The Angels<\/a> have fired general manager Perry Minasian<\/a> midway through their sixth consecutive disappointing season under his leadership.<\/p>\n The last-place Angels appointed former Cardinals GM John Mozeliak to be their interim general manager and baseball operations consultant on Friday. Mozeliak will oversee day-to-day baseball operations while assisting the search for the next GM, team president Molly Jolly said in a news release.<\/p>\n \u201cPerry has been a valued leader who worked tirelessly over the last six years to strengthen our baseball operations department,\u201d Jolly said. \u201cI am grateful for his dedication, insight and many contributions to our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Angels lose to the Athletics<\/p>\n Shea Langeliers capped a seven-run rally in the fifth with the Athletics\u2019 sixth straight single, backing J.T. Ginn in a 9-3 victory<\/a> over the Angels<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n Ginn (6-4) gave up three runs and eight hits, striking out five and walking one, to provide a much-needed boost to a pitching staff with that had major league highs in June with a 6.14 ERA and 44 home runs allowed.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Mike Trout says he\u2019ll likely not participate in All-Star home run derby<\/a> <\/p>\n Angels box score<\/a> <\/p>\n MLB standings<\/a> <\/p>\n Kings re-sign Brandt Clarke<\/p>\n Defenseman Brandt Clarke has agreed to a five-year, $37 million deal to stay with the Kings.<\/p>\n The Kings announced the deal Friday for Clarke, the eighth overall pick in 2021 who has grown into the new cornerstone of their defense.<\/p>\n Clarke had career highs of eight goals and 32 assists while playing in all 82 regular-season games last season for the Kings, who lost in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. He was third in the NHL with 185 blocked shots, and he finished fourth on the LA roster in scoring.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n NHL draft: Maple Leafs select Penn State forward Gavin McKenna No. 1 overall <\/a> <\/p>\n Chris Evert has cancer<\/p>\n From Chuck Schilken<\/a>: Tennis legend Chris Evert<\/a> is battling ovarian cancer for the third time and will not attend Wimbledon, the 18-time Grand Slam champion<\/a> and longtime ESPN analyst said Thursday on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThis past weekend, after undergoing CT and PET scans, I learned that my ovarian cancer has returned,\u201d Evert, 71, wrote. \u201cI have already undergone surgery as the first step in my treatment and recovery, and will begin chemotherapy in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause of this, I will not be attending Wimbledon this year, and I will step back from my professional commitments over the next few months to focus on my health.\u201d<\/p>\n Evert was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2021. Two years later, she revealed her cancer had returned.<\/p>\n \u201cOvarian cancer is relentless, but I will stay optimistic and determined in continuing to fight this battle,\u201d Evert wrote. \u201cI am deeply grateful to my medical team, my family, friends and everyone who has reached out with kindness and encouragement.
