BROWN MATCHES CAREER PLAYOFF HIGH WITH 40 POINTS, CELTICS BEAT PACERS TO TAKE 2-0 LEAD IN EAST
BOSTON (AP) — Jaylen Brown matched his career playoff high with 40 points, 10 of them to help Boston run off 20 points in a row in the first half to take the lead for good, and the Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers 126-110 on Thursday night to open a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Following up on Game 1s, when his 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left in regulation forced overtime, Brown helped Boston turn a five-point first-quarter deficit into a 15-point second-quarter lead.
Jayson Tatum and Derrick White scored 23 points apiece and Jrue Holiday had 15 points and 10 assists for the top-seeded Celtics, who lost Game 2 in both of their previous series this postseason.
Pascal Siakam scored 28 for Indiana, which returns home for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Monday night. Tyrese Haliburton, who had 25 points and 10 assists in the series opener, had 10 points and eight assists Thursday before leaving the game in the third quarter because of a sore left leg.
One game after the Celtics jumped to a 12-0 lead and Indiana spent the rest of the first half clawing its way back, the lead changed hands 10 times in the opening quarter, with the Pacers holding a 27-22 edge with 1:14 left.
Then Boston scored the next 20 points.
Indiana missed nine straight shots and committed four turnovers during the drought that lasted more than six minutes. Brown scored 10 on his own during the run and had 24 at the half; he opened the third quarter with two quick baskets to give the Celtics a 61-52 lead.
But Siakam also came out hot in the second half, hitting four baskets in the first four minutes – a pair of 2s and a pair of 3s – to make it a two-point game. Boston pulled away again – this time for good, scoring 16 of the next 21 points.
Indiana never got within single digits again.
Brown scored 26 points Tuesday night, when the Celtics won thanks to some unforced errors by the Pacers — especially Haliburton — down the stretch. On Wednesday, Brown was left off the All-NBA teams; last year’s selection to the second team qualified him for a five-year supermax extension that made him the highest-paid player in the NBA.
Asked if he needed to talk to Brown about focusing on the team, instead of an individual snub, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said before the game, “He’s a very mature guy, so I don’t have to.”
“He has a great outlook on life. He knows what’s important and what’s not,” Mazzulla said before the game. “He works really hard, and he knows who he is as a person and a player. That’s the most important thing.”
CAVALIERS FIRE COACH J.B. BICKERSTAFF DESPITE SOME PROGRESS AND MAKING SECOND ROUND OF PLAYOFFS
CLEVELAND (AP) — J.B. Bickerstaff was fired as Cleveland’s coach on Thursday despite leading the Cavaliers through a major rebuild, an injury-ravaged 2023-24 season and into the second round of the NBA playoffs.
Bickerstaff’s dismissal came one week after the Cavs were eliminated in five games by the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Cleveland played the final two games of the series without All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, who played with a left knee injury for more than two months before he hurt his calf in the closing minutes of Game 4 against the Celtics.
Mitchell has to decide whether to sign a long-term contract extension this summer, and his future may have played a role in the team moving on from Bickerstaff, who made incremental progress in each of his four-plus seasons with Cleveland but not enough to keep his job.
The Cavs delayed their decision in order to meet with Bickerstaff and discuss the team’s future. In the end, president of basketball operations Koby Altman and chairman Dan Gilbert decided a change was necessary.
“J.B. is a well-respected NBA coach and an incredible human being,” Altman said. “Over the past four years, he helped establish a culture that progressively drove players to become the best versions of themselves. Decisions like these are never easy, particularly when you look back at where this franchise rebuild started under his leadership.
“The NBA is a unique business that sometimes requires aggressive risk-taking to move a franchise forward and ultimately compete for championships. We owe a ton of gratitude for everything J.B. has contributed to the Cavaliers and his engagement in the Cleveland community.”
The team already has begun its search to find a replacement for Bickerstaff, who coached Memphis before coming to Cleveland as an assistant and taking over for John Beilein midway through the 2020 season.
Bickerstaff was under contract through 2026.
In his first full season, the Cavaliers went just 22-50 with one of the league’s youngest rosters. They jumped to 44 wins in his second year before losing in the play-in game while showing major strides.
After acquiring Mitchell via trade, the Cavs went 51-31 last season and had home-court advantage in the first round before getting knocked out in five games by the New York Knicks. The early exit put added pressure on Bickerstaff to do more this season.
The 45-year-old Bickerstaff went 170-159 in the regular season and 6-11 in the playoffs with Cleveland, which defeated Orlando in seven games this year before losing to Boston. Along with Mitchell, the Cavs were without center Jarrett Allen, who suffered a rib injury in the opening round against Orlando.
Their series win over the Magic was the franchise’s first without LeBron James on its roster since 1993.
The Cavs went 48-34 this season — and stayed among the top teams in the Eastern Conference — amid a rash of major injuries that forced Bickerstaff to juggle his lineup on an almost daily basis and throughout the postseason.
But while Bickerstaff helped nurture a strong culture in Cleveland, the knocks on him were his struggles with in-game adjustments, a stagnant offense and the slower-than-expected development of guard Darius Garland and forward Evan Mobley.
Gilbert may be looking for a stronger voice and perhaps a coach to satisfy Mitchell, a six-time All-Star who is under contract through the 2026 season and eligible to sign a deal worth roughly $200 million this summer.
Mitchell has given no indication he wants out of Cleveland.
WNBA NEWS
TORONTO AWARDED WNBA’S FIRST FRANCHISE OUTSIDE US, WITH EXPANSION TEAM TO BEGIN PLAY IN 2026
Toronto has been awarded the WNBA’s first franchise outside the United States, with the expansion team set to begin play in 2026.
Larry Tanenbaum-led Kilmer Sports Ventures is paying $115 million for the team. Tanenbaum also is the chairman and a minority owner of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the Toronto sports giant that also owns the NHL’s Maple Leafs and NBA’s Raptors, along with Toronto’s MLS and Canadian Football League franchises.
“Growing internationally, I’ve been trying to think through next steps on a global platform,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert told The Associated Press ahead of the official announcement Thursday. “It helps us reach new audiences and bring in new partners. The thing I love about going to another country is that the young girls and boys get to see professional basketball for women is important, too.”
Toronto will be the WNBA’s 14th franchise, with the expansion Golden State Valkyries to start play next year.
“Our Toronto sports franchises are thriving but, we have been missing one critical piece — women’s professional sports,” Tanenbaum told the AP. “The world is finally taking notice of something that’s been there all along — the immense talent, passion and competition in women’s sports. So, once again, I saw an opportunity and knew we were in the right place at the right time to bring Canada’s first WNBA team to Toronto. And now we have, making sports history.”
Toronto will play in the 8,700-seat Coca-Cola Coliseum at Exhibition Place, home of the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies, and occasionally move to Scotiabank Arena, which seats nearly 20,000. Tanenbaum said the team will play some games in Vancouver and Montreal.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the press conference in Toronto, along with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow.
“This landmark deal will give opportunities to our remarkable athletes across the country, and on the biggest stage,” Trudeau said. “I can’t wait to see our Canadian women win on the court.”
Kilmer Sports Ventures, created as a stand-alone company to operate the team, has committed to building a practice facility. But until that is ready, it will train at University of Toronto’s Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport. Tanenbaum said they’ll solicit public input for the name of the team.
“Women’s sports is good business,” Tanenbaum said. “Just look around — it’s not a moment, but a movement and it’s just the beginning. The investment that we’ll put into the franchise will also be no different than the other franchises.”
Engelbert said WNBA exhibition games in Canada the last two seasons showed the passion of the fans in the country for women’s basketball.
“When I was up for the preseason game, Kia (Nurse) and I did a youth clinic. The reaction from young girls to Kia and what she stands for, they so admire her,” Engelbert said.
Nurse is one of a handful of Canadian players playing in the WNBA, with more on the way.
“No doubt it’s helpful to have household names,” Engelbert said.
The commissioner expects the league to reach 16 teams by 2028.
“We’ve already had a lot of interest, and it got more tangible and serious from a fair amount of cities after the draft,” Engelbert said. “We are in a good position to get to 16 by certainly ’27-28.”
MERCURY WIN THIRD STRAIGHT, KEEP MYSTICS WINLESS
Kahleah Copper and Diana Taurasi scored 20 points apiece and the host Phoenix Mercury held off a late charge to beat the Washington Mystics 83-80 on Thursday night.
Sophie Cunningham had 13 points as the Mercury (3-1) cemented their first three-game winning streak since June 2022. They scored 15 straight points during the third quarter to establish a nice margin but watched the Mystics (0-5) erase nearly all of it before time ran out.
Natasha Cloud, facing her former team for the first time, had a double-double of 14 points and 10 assists for Phoenix. She also recorded five rebounds, three steals and eight turnovers.
Ariel Atkins led the Mystics with 16 points, while Julie Vanloo had 15 points on 5-for-10 shooting from 3-point range. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Shakira Austin each scored 11.
The Mercury trailed 46-45 when their 15-0 run began. Taurasi made an old-fashioned three-point play followed by a 3-pointer to get it started. Phoenix took the game’s first double-digit lead at 57-46 when Cloud hit two free throws with 4:50 left in the quarter, and Cunningham capped the run with a triple nearly two minutes later.
Walker-Kimbrough ended Washington’s nearly six-minute scoring drought with a triple and went on a personal 8-0 run for the Mystics. But Copper stole the spotlight with a buzzer-beater from 21 feet out to give Phoenix a 70-56 lead after three periods.
The Mercury struggled to start the fourth quarter, allowing the Mystics to creep back within single digits at 72-63 when Karlie Samuelson made a 3 with 7:20 to go. Taurasi got a pair of crucial layups to fall with less than three minutes left as the Mercury tried to seal the game.
Atkins’ three-point play brought Washington within 78-74, and Vanloo made a second-chance 3-pointer to make it 80-77 with 34 seconds to go before Phoenix iced it at the free-throw line.
Copper hit two 3-pointers and scored 13 of Phoenix’s 22 points in the first quarter. The teams traded leads until Mikiah Herbert Harrigan knocked down a long triple with 6.6 seconds left for a 22-20 Mercury advantage.
There were six lead changes and five ties during the second quarter alone. Atkins hit a floater for the final points of the half to cut Washington’s deficit to 43-40 at halftime.
Copper, who entered the game with a league-high 31.3 points per game, briefly came out with a lower-body injury in the third but returned.
SUN OUTLAST LYNX IN OVERTIME TO REMAIN PERFECT
DeWanna Bonner made two free throws with 7.1 seconds left in overtime to help guide the Connecticut Sun to an 83-82 win over the visiting Minnesota Lynx on Thursday in Uncasville, Conn.
Bonner scored a team-high 20 points for the Sun (4-0). Brionna Jones added 19 points, six rebounds and five assists while Alyssa Thomas chipped in 18 points with seven rebounds and five assists.

Thomas’ floater and Rachel Banham’s triple tied the game at 79 for the Sun, before Collier’s free throw gave Minnesota a one-point lead with 36 seconds left.
Thomas then hit a mid-range jumper, but McBride answered with a 16-footer with 13.1 seconds left, giving the Lynx an 82-81 advantage.
Collier fouled Bonner on the next possession, and she hit both free throws, putting Connecticut up one with 7.1 seconds remaining.
McBride missed a last-second shot for the Lynx.
In a back-and-forth final minute of regulation, Collier tied the game at 70 with free throws before Thomas put the Sun ahead with a layup with 14 seconds left. Collier then converted a layup of her own, ultimately sending the game to overtime.
Minnesota fell behind by seven early in the third quarter but Collier’s layup cut the deficit to 45-42. Bonner’s triple extended Connecticut’s lead to six at the 4:20 mark.
The Lynx followed with a 9-0 run, stamped with Collier’s jumper with 1:37 remaining. Connecticut finished the third with buckets from Tiffany Mitchell and Thomas to take a 52-51 lead.
Trailing by five, McBride’s triple and Collier’s layup knotted the score at 63. Collier and Williams then each connected on mid-range jumpers to give Minnesota a 67-63 lead at the 4:16 mark.
Tyasha Harris responded with a 3-pointer for the Sun, but Williams’ free throw put Minnesota up 68-66 with 2:10 left.
Mitchell tied the game with a layup at the 1:43 mark and Jones’ knocked down a pair of free throws to give the Sun a 70-68 lead with 1:17 left.
The Sun led 37-35 at halftime thanks to Collier’s game-high 14 points.
MARINA MABREY, SKY HAND LIBERTY FIRST LOSS OF SEASON
Marina Mabrey scored 21 points as the visiting Chicago Sky pulled away down the stretch and recorded a 90-81 victory over the previously unbeaten New York Liberty on Thursday night.
After shooting 11-of-33 in Chicago’s two-game series at Dallas, Mabrey made 8 of 13 shots in 36 minutes. The guard also handed out seven assists and grabbed six rebounds as Chicago led for virtually the entire second half to give first-year coach Teresa Weatherspoon a win in her return to New York. Weatherspoon played most of her WNBA career for the Liberty.
Rookie Angel Reese added 13 points and nine rebounds and Michaela Onyenwere also finished with 13 for the Sky (2-1). Dana Evans and reserve Chennedy Carter contributed 12 points apiece as Chicago shot 46.7 percent and led by as many as 14 in the fourth.
Sabrina Ionsecu scored 19 points but missed six of eight 3s as the Liberty (4-1) were unable to win their fifth straight. Breanna Stewart added 18 and 10 rebounds as the Liberty shot 43.5 percent and finished at 36.4 percent (8-of-22) from behind the arc.
A competitive opening quarter where neither team led by more than four points ended in a 21-21 tie when New York’s Ivana Dojkic sank a 3-pointer with 19 seconds left.
Onyenwere’s 3-pointer right before the shot clock expired pushed Chicago’s lead to 31-24 with 6:24 left in the second, and Mabrey sank a 3 nearly two minutes later for a 35-26 lead before Chicago held a 40-32 halftime edge.
Elizabeth Williams split two free throws to give Chicago a 45-34 lead less than two minutes into the third. New York scored the next 11 points and forged a 45-45 tie on a free throw by Stewart with 5:24 left.
After Stewart’s 3 evened the game at 56-all with 1:55 left, the Sky took a 63-59 lead into the fourth. New York regained the lead when Ionescu found Jonquel Jones for a layup that made it 68-67 with 7:46 to go, but the Sky scored the next six points, including a free throw and a bucket by Reese.
Mabrey hit a 3 and a jumper on consecutive trips for an 80-71 lead with about 4 1/2 minutes left. Mabrey then finished it off with an 18-footer to put Chicago up 86-73 with 2:47 to play.

MCDAVID GETS THE WINNER IN THE 2ND OT AFTER OILERS OVERCOME CAPTAIN’S PENALTY TO BEAT STARS 3-2
DALLAS (AP) — Connor McDavid scored 32 seconds into the second overtime and the Edmonton Oilers overcame their captain’s double-minor penalty in the first extra period and beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Thursday night.
The Stars were 0 for 3 on power plays in regulation, then couldn’t capitalize on four minutes with a man advantage after a high-stick penalty against McDavid in the opening seconds of the first overtime that wasn’t called until a replay review on the next stoppage of play,
Leon Draisaitl extended his playoff-opening points streak to 13 games with a goal, and Zach Hyman had a goal and an assist for the Oilers. Stuart Skinner stopped 31 shots, three nights after the Oilers wrapped up their second-round series with a Game 7 victory on the road at Edmonton.
Tyler Seguin scored both goals for the Stars, who have lost Game 1 in their last seven playoff series since 2022.
Game 2 is Saturday night.
McDavid and Matt Duchene were skating away from the center circle by each other after the Oilers captain had won the faceoff between the two to open the first overtime period. There wasn’t initially a whistle when Duchene took a stick to the face.
When Stars goalie Jake Oettinger secured the puck on a shot by Evan Bouchard to stop the clock 17 seconds into overtime, and with blood on Duchene’s lower lip, officials did a replay review and enforced a double-minor penalty.
Dallas called a timeout after three shots through the first three minutes of that penalty, but got only one more shot on net after that before McDavid was out of the penalty box.
McDavid had a chance to end the game with about 5:20 left in the first overtime, but his shot was blocked with Oettinger and defenseman Chris Tanev both putting their sticks down to keep the puck out of the net.
Oettinger had 35 saves.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NEWS
MLB ROUNDUP: A’S RALLY IN 11TH FOR WILD WIN VS. ROCKIES
Pinch hitter Tyler Soderstrom drew a four-pitch, walk-off walk from Colorado Rockies reliever Peter Lambert to cap a five-run uprising in the 11th inning as the host Oakland Athletics rallied for a 10-9 victory on Thursday afternoon.
The shocking finish came after the Rockies scored four runs in the top of the 11th, as Jake Cave and Brenton Doyle delivered run-scoring singles off A’s closer Mason Miller, and Brendan Rodgers hit a two-run double off Brandon Bielak. Oakland countered with Max Schuemann’s RBI double, Abraham Toro’s RBI single and JJ Bleday’s two-run, game-tying home run off the Rockies’ Matt Koch.
Lambert (2-3) took over and got two outs while the A’s were getting two aboard, but then followed an intentional walk to Kyle McCann with an unintentional free pass to Soderstrom, allowing the A’s to record a second win in a three-game interleague series.
Colorado blew three leads in the final three innings. Daz Cameron — making his A’s debut — homered in the last of the ninth to produce a 4-4 tie. Oakland’s Zack Gelof drilled a run-scoring single that evened the score 5-5 in the bottom of the 10th.
Yankees 5, Mariners 0
Rookie Luis Gil pitched 6 1/3 outstanding innings and combined with three relievers on a three-hitter, leading New York over visiting Seattle.
Gil (6-1) allowed only an infield single to J.P. Crawford and two walks. The Yankees right-hander struck out eight in a 96-pitch outing that earned him an ovation from the crowd. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge hit solo homers off Mariners starter Luis Castillo (4-6).
Luis Castillo allowed two runs on seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out three.
Padres 6, Reds 4 (10 innings)
Luis Arraez started a 10th-inning rally with his fourth hit of the day and Fernando Tatis Jr. followed with a tiebreaking double as visiting San Diego edged Cincinnati.
Tatis doubled home automatic runner Luis Campusano against reliever Sam Moll (0-1), who also surrendered a sacrifice fly to Jake Cronenworth in the two-run 10th inning. The Padres’ Jeremiah Estrada (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth and struck out the side in the ninth for the win.
Nick Martini had a two-run homer among his two hits and Jeimer Candelario hit an RBI triple as the Reds lost their eighth straight series.
Giants 7, Pirates 6
Brett Wisely smacked a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the eighth to cap a five-run inning, lifting San Francisco to a wild victory over host Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh was in the driver’s seat in the rubber match of the three-game series when former Giant Joey Bart cracked a grand slam in the fourth. Heliot Ramos went deep in the seventh as San Francisco trimmed its deficit to 5-2. But Pittsburgh’s Bryan Reynolds ripped a solo shot of his own in the home half of the frame.
LaMonte Wade Jr. and Thairo Estrada opened the eighth with singles against Pittsburgh reliever Hunter Stratton (1-1). Matt Chapman followed with a three-run homer, cutting the Giants’ deficit to 6-5. Jorge Soler then doubled and scored on Wilmer Flores’ single. With two outs, Wisely’s hit plated pinch runner Marco Luciano.
Braves 3, Cubs 0
Jarred Kelenic homered and six pitchers combined for a four-hitter as visiting Atlanta blanked Chicago in the rubber game of their three-game series.
Chadwick Tromp had two hits and a run and Ozzie Albies went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI. Top pitching prospect AJ Smith-Shawver allowed three hits over 4 1/3 shutout innings in his season debut. Raisel Iglesias tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to garner his 12th save.
Seiya Suzuki had two hits and Ian Happ had a double and a stolen base for Chicago, which lost for the seventh time in 10 games, scoring a total of only 23 during that span.
Phillies 5, Rangers 2
Zack Wheeler pitched seven strong innings and streaking Philadelphia beat visiting Texas to sweep a three-game series.
The victory was historic as the Phillies equaled the club’s best 35-game stretch since 1892. They are 29-6 since April 14.
Adolis Garcia connected for his 12th homer of the year for the Rangers, who have lost 11 of their past 14.
Blue Jays 9, Tigers 1
Daulton Varsho hit a go-ahead, two-run homer, Kevin Gausman struck out a season-high 10 batters and visiting Toronto defeated slumping Detroit.
Gausman (3-3) gave up one run on three hits and two walks in six innings. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run homer and Isiah Kiner-Falefa had a solo shot. Bo Bichette added three hits, a run scored and an RBI in the opener of a four-game series.
Detroit’s Jack Flaherty (1-4) gave up three runs on seven hits and one walk in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out nine. Wenceel Perez knocked in the run for the Tigers, who have lost five straight.
Orioles 8, White Sox 6
Jorge Mateo drilled a three-run home run and Baltimore snapped a season-worst three-game losing streak by defeating host Chicago in the opener of a four-game series.
Anthony Santander also homered, Adley Rutschman drove in three runs and Ryan Mountcastle had four hits for the Orioles. Grayson Rodriguez was rewarded for another solid start, working five innings.
Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets each drove in two runs for the White Sox, who lost for the sixth time in a seven-game stretch. Starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (0-3) was charged with five runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.
NFL NEWS
REPORT: RAIDERS DE MAXX CROSBY RECEIVING $6M RAISE
Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas Raiders’ star defensive end, will make an additional $6 million next season, ESPN reported on Thursday.
Per the report, the Raiders won’t add any years to his contract and will also move $1.2 million into his contract for the 2025 season.
Crosby, 26, is a three-time Pro Bowl selection who signed a four-year extension with $95 million in new money and more than $53 million guaranteed in March 2022.
A fourth-round pick of the Raiders in 2019, Crosby recorded career highs in sacks (14.5) and tackles for loss (22) in 2023 and was a second-team All-Pro selection for the second time. He was also a second-team All-Pro in 2021.
In his five seasons with the Raiders, Crosby has 52 sacks, 321 tackles, 18 passes defensed, nine forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 88 tackles for loss.
Per ESPN Stats & Information, Crosby was due to make $19.01 million, $21.038 million and $21.038 million the next three seasons.
SEAN PAYTON CALLS BRONCOS’ QUARTERBACKS ‘ORPHANED DOGS’
Denver coach Sean Payton didn’t use the most flattering metaphor when describing the Broncos’ three quarterbacks.
Payton called the trio, which consists of Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham, “orphaned dogs” Thursday.
“They’ve all come from somewhere, but they’re doing well. It’s a good room,” said Peyton, who will be entering his second year as Denver’s coach.
The Broncos selected Nix with the 12th pick in this year’s draft after he threw for 4,508 yards and 45 touchdowns in his final season at Oregon. He completed 77.4 percent of his passes and threw only three interceptions in 470 attempts.
Two days before the draft, the Broncos acquired Wilson, who was the No. 2 overall pick in 2021, and a seventh-round pick from the New York Jets for a sixth-round pick. Wilson struggled with the Jets in his 34 games, throwing for 6,293 yards with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions while completing 57 percent of his passes.
Stidham appeared in three games last season for the Broncos and started the final two after he was signed by the club in March 2023. He threw two touchdowns and one interception during the two starts after Denver suddenly decided to bench Russell Wilson. The Broncos, who finished 8-9 last season, released Wilson in March two years into a five-year, $245 million contract.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS
NCAA VOTES TO ACCEPT $2.8 BILLION SETTLEMENT THAT COULD USHER IN DRAMATIC CHANGE FOR COLLEGE SPORTS
The NCAA and Big Ten Conference leadership approved a $2.8 billion settlement of antitrust claims Wednesday, moving college athletics closer to some of the most sweeping changes in its history.
The NCAA completed its three-part approval process late Wednesday, with its 15-member Board of Governors voting unanimously to accept the proposal — with one member abstaining — according to two people with direct knowledge of the vote who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the NCAA was not publicly revealing its internal process.
The settlement could resolve three major antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA that carry the threat of some $20 billion in damages, a blow that would cripple the organization. The settlement includes dramatic changes to the NCAA’s amateur sports model, including allowing revenue-sharing by schools with their athletes.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs in House v. the NCAA gave the defendants a Thursday deadline to agree to a settlement. Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 presidents were scheduled to meet during the day to consider the deal.
The Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference presidential boards voted to move forward with the settlement on Tuesday. Big Ten presidents voted to approve the deal Wednesday during spring meetings in Los Angeles, a person with direct knowledge of the decision told AP on condition of anonymity because the conference was not making its internal discussions public.
As the leagues and NCAA marched toward the settlement, a fourth antitrust case presents a potential complication.
U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney in Colorado ruled Thursday that Fontenot vs. the NCAA will stay in her court instead of being moved to California and combined with one of the other antitrust lawsuits that could be covered by the settlement.
Attorney for the plaintiffs in Fontenot said they won’t know whether their claims would be covered by the settlement until they have all the details of the proposal.
“One way or the other, they have to deal with us or I just don’t see how a settlement ultimately gets done,” George Zelcs, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, told AP on Wednesday. “They have to either include us or get an order that requires us to be involved in it. All of which we have arguments against as well.”
The NCAA and five conferences named in the House vs. NCAA lawsuit that is at the center of settlement talks have asked Sweeney to combine the Fontenot case with Carter vs. the NCAA, which is being heard in the Northern District of California.
Under terms of the proposed settlement, the NCAA would pay $2.77 billion over 10 years to former and current college athletes who were denied by now-defunct rules the ability to earn money from endorsement and sponsorship deals dating to 2016. The NCAA and conferences also would agree to establish a revenue-sharing system, with schools allowed — though not required — to spend about $21 million a year on their athletes. That number could grow over time if revenue increases.
House and Hubbard v. NCAA have already been combined in the Northern District of California and are being overseen by U.S. Judge Claudia Wilken, who has ruled against the NCAA in several high-profile antitrust cases in recent years.
Carter is being overseen by U.S. Judge Richard Seeborg. Fontenot would be added to Seeborg’s cases.
Former Colorado football player Alex Fontenot filed his lawsuit last November, claiming NCAA rules have illegally prevented college athletes from earning their fair share of the millions of dollars in revenue schools bring in. Garrett Broshuis, Zelcs’ colleague at the law firm Korein Tillery, said the Fontenot case should not be combined with the other three because they have fundamental differences.
“House was focused on name, image and likeness issues, which is really just a small segment of the overall revenue that the NCAA and the conferences and their members are bringing in,” Broshuis told AP. “Our case is instead focusing on what would be the true free-market value of the services being provided by these athletes.”
Broshuis said the Carter case focuses on just basketball and football players from Power Five conferences — ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC.
“Whereas the Fontenot proposed class is broader than that. Revenue is revenue no matter what sport,” he said.
The House case is a class-action lawsuit that seeks back pay for college athletes who were denied name, image and likeness compensation dating to 2016. The NCAA lifted its ban on athletes earning NIL money in 2021.
Steve Berman, one of the lead attorneys in House, said in a statement to AP the issues in Fontenot completely overlap with the other cases and the settlement — if approved — “will release all of their claims.”
“And as for their claim they are waiting to see if they want to be part of it, they already laid out objections to the court in Colorado without even seeing the agreement, a completely irresponsible thing to do,” Berman said. “Even more so when they haven’t contributed to the momentum that allowed us to accomplish this as opposed to being Johnny come lately.”

LIV GOLF’S RICHARD BLAND TIED FOR LEAD AT SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
Playing in his first senior event of any kind, Englishman Richard Bland shares the 18-hole lead at a major championship.
Bland, a member of LIV Golf, and Australian Richard Green are tied atop the leaderboard at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship after shooting 7-under 65s on Thursday at Harbor Shores Resort in Benton Harbor, Mich.
The leaders hold a two-shot edge over Steve Stricker, Scott Dunlap, Jeff Schmid, Canadian Mike Weir and South Korea’s K.J. Choi at 5-under 66.
Bland joined LIV for its inaugural campaign in 2022, one year after he became the oldest player to win a DP World Tour event at 48. He told reporters Thursday that he received a Senior PGA Championship invite “out of the blue” last year.
“I got an email from (PGA of America official) Bob Jeffrey,” said Bland, now 51. “Unfortunately I couldn’t play it. Clashed with a LIV event.
“And then when I looked at the schedule this year, I saw that it was a free week, so I kind of reached out and said, ‘Look, I appreciated the gesture for the invite. If it could be run to this year I would love to come play.’ And Bob came straight back and said, we would love to have you, so here I am.”
Bland is trying to make the most of his opportunity. He started Thursday’s round on the back nine, birdied Nos. 11 and 12 and holed an eagle at the par-5 15th. He dialed up three more birdies the rest of the way without a bogey.
“When I got here I kind of felt it sort of the lends itself to my strength,” Bland said. “You got to drive it good to give yourself then the opportunities to hit your iron shots close to the flag. Greens are firming up a little bit. I managed to do that today.”
Green, 53, was 4 under through five holes after he chased two birdies with an eagle at the par-5 fifth. He bogeyed the next hole, but it was his only miscue of the day, soon smoothed over by a three-birdie run at Nos. 9-11. His last birdie came at No. 15.
“I hit a great drive down 5 and left myself about 250 yards to the flag I think I had, something like that,” Green said of his eagle. “I knew my hybrid carries around the high 220s.
“Hit it just perfect and just shaped it in there nicely and it was tracking towards the hole. I think it ran across the edge of the hole and finished about maybe seven feet past the hole; then hit a really nice putt and made it.”
Green did most of his winning in Europe and Australia during his career. He has yet to win an event of any kind on the PGA Champions Tour.
Green said players “always got to watch out for” Stricker, the defending champion who has seven senior majors to his name.
Stricker had seven birdies through 15 holes before a double bogey at the par-4 16th kept him from being an 18-hole co-leader.
“You have to commit to a lot of things out here and a lot of shots that may make you feel a little uncomfortable,” Stricker said. “So I did that for the most part. Put a bad swing on at 16. Hit it in the penalty area. And then really should have been a bogey at worst, but messed up the second shot there, too.”
Tied for eighth at 4-under 67 are Brian Gay, Stewart Cink, Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke, Fijian Vijay Singh and Japan’s Katsumasa Miyamoto.
CHARLEY HOFFMAN, 47, HOLDS EARLY LEAD AT CHARLES SCHWAB
Charley Hoffman posted a bogey-free, 5-under 65 to take the first-round lead at the Charles Schwab Challenge on Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas.
The 47-year-old birdied two of his three holes to get off to a strong start on a day where scoring chances were limited at Colonial Country Club. Hoffman’s round was enough for a one-shot advantage over five golfers tied for second.
Brian Harman, Tony Finau, Davis Riley, South Korea’s S.H. Kim and Scotland’s Martin Laird opened with rounds of 4-under 66.
Hayden Buckley, Pierceson Coody, Robby Shelton and England’s Callum Tarren opened at 3-under 67. Collin Morikawa, coming off last week’s near-miss at the PGA Championship, shot a 2-under 68.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler carded a triple bogey en route to a 2-over 72, the first time he’s opened a PGA Tour event with a round over par since the 2023 Tour Championship.

Betting Favorites
No surprise here: Iga Swiatek is a heavy favorite to win the women’s title, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, which lists her as a –155 money-line pick for what would be her fourth trophy at the French Open and third in a row. There is a big gap to the next player, two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, who is at +500, followed by 2023 U.S. Open champ Coco Gauff at +950 and 2022 Wimbledon champ Elena Rybakina at +1100. The only other woman listed below +4000 is Danielle Collins, at +1800. For the men, Carlos Alcaraz is narrowly the top choice for the men’s title, listed at +275, despite having missed time recently because of problems with his right forearm. Next up is defending champion Novak Djokovic at +300, with Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner at +400. Sinner missed the Italian Open with an injury this month, while Djokovic has not played much this season. Rafael Nadal, the 14-time French Open champion who turns 38 during the tournament and has indicated he is nearing retirement, is the seventh pick at +2000. That represents a significant change from the +900 he was listed at before Thursday’s draw put him up against No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev in the first round. Zverev is a –350 money-line favorite against Nadal, who is listed at +260 for that match.

INDIANA PACERS
(PACERS RELEASE)
Game Recap
For the second straight playoff series, the Pacers are headed back to Indiana for Game 3 trailing 2-0 after dropping two road games at the higher-seeded team.
They were able to overcome that deficit to defeat the New York Knicks in seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. They face an even bigger test in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, the top seed in the East.
Boston used a few big runs on Thursday night at TD Garden to pull away from Indiana for a 126-110 win. The Celtics surged ahead at the start of the second quarter, when they reeled off 17 straight points, and then pushed the margin to double digits for good with a 16-5 spurt in the third quarter after Indiana had drawn within two.
Celtics All-Star forward Jaylen Brown matched his playoff career high with 40 points, going 14-for-27 from the field and 8-for-11 from the free throw line.
Derrick White added 23 points, four rebounds, and six assists, while All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum tallied 23 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
The loss spoiled a terrific outing from Pacers forward Pascal Siakam, who scored a team-high 28 points while going 13-for-17 from the field (2-for-2 from 3-point range).
Pacers All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton exited with 3:44 remaining in the third quarter and did not return due to a sore left hamstring. Haliburton had previously returned to the locker room in the first half with a sore chest after taking a blow from Brown on a rebound, but returned to the floor after that injury. He finished with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting (2-of-6 from 3-point range), four rebounds, eight assists in 28 minutes.
After the game, head coach Rick Carlisle said Haliburton aggravated his hamstring in the first half and played through pain before the training staff decided to shut him down in the second half. He will be evaluated back in Indianapolis on Friday. Haliburton missed 10 games in January after straining the same hamstring.
“We hope that this is a very short-term aggravation,” Carlisle said “But again, we’ll know more tomorrow and then Saturday obviously, the next game is coming quickly.”
There is only one day off in between games in the conference finals, with the Pacers scheduled to host Game 3 on Saturday and Game 4 on Monday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Pacers got off to a much better start on Thursday than in Game 1, where they fell behind 12-0 to start the night. Indiana led by as many as six points in the opening frame and took a 27-25 advantage into the second quarter.
T.J. McConnell scored seven points off the bench in the first quarter, while Haliburton tallied five points and three assists.
But the start of the second quarter was all Celtics. Brown scored 10 points as Boston opened the frame with a 17-0 run to take the first double-digit lead of the night.
The Pacers went scoreless for over five minutes to start the the frame, with their first points not coming until Aaron Nesmith drew a foul and hit both free throws with 6:45 remaining in the quarter. They missed eight shots and committed three turnovers before that point. Nesmith hit a three on the next possession to give Indiana its first field goal of the quarter.
Siakam gave the Blue & Gold a nice lift to close the half, scoring the Pacers’ final 10 points to get the visitors back within six (67-61) heading into the intermission.
The veteran forward continued to cook in the second half, scoring 10 of Indiana’s first 14 points in the third quarter. His 3-pointer cut Boston’s lead to 68-66 with 7:55 remaining in the frame.
The Celtics responded with a 16-5 run to push the lead back to double digits. That’s where the margin remained entering the fourth quarter, with Boston leading, 93-80.
After Siakam knocked down another jumper on the opening possession of the final frame, a Jayson Tatum three-point play and Jrue Holiday 3-pointer pushed Boston’s lead to 17.
Haliburton was not on the bench to start the quarter and was ruled out for the night minutes into the frame due to left leg soreness, later revealed by Carlisle to be a hamstring injury.
Boston extended its lead to as high as 19 points down the stretch, as the Pacers never got back within double digits.
Andrew Nembhard finished with 16 points and five assists in the loss for Indiana, while Obi Toppin scored 11 points off the bench.
Jrue Holiday recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists, going 6-for-7 from the field and 3-for-4 from 3-point range. Payton Prichard scored 12 points off the bench for Boston.
The series now shifts back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where the Pacers are yet to lose this postseason.
“For us right now, we’ve got to concentrate on getting back as quickly as we can tonight and preparing ourselves for our best possible effort on Saturday night,” Carlisle said. “And I know that our building will be as loud and live as it’s ever been. It’s race weekend and everything else going on. We’ve got to take advantage of that.”
Inside the Numbers
Siakam’s 28 points were his third most in a game this postseason, trailing only his 36 and 37 points in Games 1 and 2 of the first round against Milwaukee.
The Celtics shot 53.4 percent from the field and went 15-for-37 (40.5 percent) from 3-point range. Indiana made 52.4 percent of its attempts and was 11-for-29 (37.9 percent) from beyond the arc.
Boston outscored Indiana 54-34 in the paint in Game 2.
The Celtics outrebounded the Pacers 40-37 and 13-12 on the offensive glass, outscoring Indiana 18-13 in second-chance points.
After committing 22 turnovers in Game 1, the Pacers had 16 giveaways in Game 2, while only forcing 12 turnovers on the other end.
Indiana’s bench outscored Boston’s reserves, 39-19.
You Can Quote Me On That
“After a pretty good first quarter, the beginning of the second quarter certainly changed the game a lot. They went on a big run…We bounced back decently, got it to six at halftime. But the third was tough and losing Ty for the game obviously is a big blow.” -Carlisle on the way the game unfolded
“I thought they played a little bit better for more stretches than we did. They had a lot of good runs and we got really close, but not quite there. Our energy wasn’t what it was supposed to be…We have to look ourself in the mirror and move on.” -Siakam
“We’ve got to try to make it as difficult on them as possible. We’ve got to be physical, persistent. We’ve got to play our game. We’ve got to have the right help at the right time if needed. We’ve got to make these guys make difficult shots and we’ve got to rebound the ball…We were doing some good things during the game. We just were not consistent enough and the beginning of the second quarter was killer.” -Carlisle on where the defense needs to improve
“Obviously we need Ty, but at the end of the day it’s the ‘next man up’ mentality.’ We’ve got to be ready and play together. This team got to where we are today by having all of us. We all had to stay together, continue to play together. Obviously we want Tyrese back out there … it’s on us to continue to play and bring energy.” -Siakam on Haliburton’s injury
“When your franchise guy goes down obviously it’s tough, but that’s a time for this group – who has done it this year – for everyone to step up and take a bigger role. We’ve done a good job of that when he has been out. Obviously it hurts when he goes down, but you know it’s one of things where it’s the next man up mentality. We haven’t heard anything about him yet, but guys just have to step up and be ready.” -McConnell on Haliburton’s injury
“To look at some guys that I thought needed a look. (Doug) McDermott went in there and played well. Isaiah Jackson brought a lot of fight to the game. Jalen Smith hasn’t had much of an opportunity to play in the playoffs, so I wanted to see where he was at. We weren’t giving up, but it was an opportunity to get some energetic, fresh guys in there to fight. They did some good things.” -Carlisle on rolling with bench players in the fourth quarter
“Our fans give us so much energy. Just playing there, obviously experiencing it for the first time, the games are just so much more energy and they are so passionate about our team. We’re just going out there and trying to compete to the best of our abilities. We can’t wait to see the fans out there on Saturday and just see the energy that they’re going to bring. Support us, which they’ve done all year.” -Siakam on the home crowd back in Indiana for the next two games
“It was a long road trip. I think it’ll be nice for all of us to get home in our own beds. We’re excited to play in front of our fans. It’ll be a big weekend with the race…we can’t wait to get back home.” -Nembhard on playing at home
“Obviously down 0-2 is something that we’ve seen before, especially in the last series. Coming back home, playing in front of our crowd, who we haven’t lost at home yet in the playoffs, we’re really excited to get back into our building and play in front of our fans.” -McConnell
Stat of the Night
Brown’s 40 points matched his playoff career high. He previously scored 40 in a 109-103 loss to Miami in Game 3 of the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals.
Noteworthy
Celtics center Luke Kornet suffered a left wrist sprain in the first half and did not return.
Celtics starting center Kristaps Porzingis was out again with a calf injury. Porzingis has not played since Game 4 of Boston’s first-round series against Miami on April 29.
The Pacers are returning to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where they are 6-0 in the playoffs and have won 11 straight games dating back to the regular season. Indiana’s last home loss was on March 18.
Up Next
The Eastern Conference Finals will shift to Indianapolis when the Pacers host the Celtics for Game 3 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, May 25 at 8:30 PM ET.
INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
DES MOINES, Iowa – Led by two home runs off the bat of Henry Davis, the Indianapolis Indians combined for a season-high six home runs en route to a 10-8 victory over the Iowa Cubs on Thursday evening in the third game of the series at Principal Park.
The six-homer outpouring marked the first time Indianapolis (22-23) has hit six home runs in a game since Aug. 6, 2021, at Iowa. It was just the sixth time since 2005 that the Indians hit six-plus homers in a single contest.
Trailing by three following an Alexander Canario three-run homer in the first inning, Matt Gorski responded in the top of the second with a two-run blast of his own against Iowa starter Dan Straily (L, 0-4). Andrés Alvarez then tied the game later in the inning with his second Triple-A home run.
Indianapolis broke through again with a four-run third inning, highlighted by solo homers off the bats of Davis and Malcom Nuñez. The Indians then padded their lead with Davis’ second solo homer of the night in the fourth inning. In the bottom half of the frame, Iowa picked up a run on an RBI groundout courtesy of Darius Hill.
With Indy leading 9-4, the I-Cubs (21-27) chipped away with four solo home runs courtesy of Miles Mastrobuoni, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Ali Sánchez and Canario’s second homer of the night in the final four innings. Indianapolis added its sixth home run of the night on Gilberto Celestino’s first round-tripper of the season in the ninth inning.
Chris Gau (W, 2-0) and Isaac Mattson (S,1) each struck out five batters out of the bullpen, tying the most by an Indians reliever this season.
Henry Davis powered the Indians offense, going 3-for-6 with his fifth career multi-homer performance and second in his past five games with Indianapolis. Davis and Gorski have both been on torrid home run stretches, each hitting five homers in their last five games dating back to May 18 vs. Toledo.
The Indians and Cubs continue their series on Friday evening at 8:08 PM ET. Right-hander Daulton Jefferies (0-0, 9.00) gets the ball for the Indians, while the I-Cubs have yet to name a starter.
INDY ELEVEN WOMEN’S SOCCER

INDY 500
MCLAUGHLIN SOAKS UP EVERY MOMENT OF MAKING TEAM PENSKE HISTORY AHEAD OF THE INDY 500
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — In the late-night hours, long after Scott McLaughlin had won the pole for the Indianapolis 500 and with his adrenaline still running far too high to get any sleep, he slipped into the grandstands to collect his thoughts.
McLaughlin sat alone in the darkened Indianapolis Motor Speedway, listening to Post Malone and scrolling through his phone, answering all the well wishes he’d received for what the IndyCar star considers the biggest accomplishment of his career.
McLaughlin led the first Team Penske lockout of the front row at the Indy 500 since 1988 when he won the pole for Sunday’s race. He will start alongside Penske teammates Will Power and reigning winner Josef Newgarden.
As he gazed between his phone and his Penske pit stand, McLaughlin found himself in awe of what he had done. His four-lap qualifying average set a record, and the moment he finished his first lap, the result seemed so predetermined that he said his parents watching back home in New Zealand burst into tears because of that impending moment.
The 30-year-old McLaughlin? He collected the pole-winner award and then headed to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway golf course, the orders coming down from his boss, Roger Penske, to take the rest of the day off. And that’s how he found himself alone in the IMS grandstands when he should have been sleeping.
“I just sat there alone. My music on. I had like 250 or 300 texts. I texted everyone back,” McLaughlin said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I knew I couldn’t sleep and I really just wanted to soak this place in. Any day of the year you are at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is special, but after you’ve just gotten the pole? I didn’t want to go to sleep. I didn’t want the day to be over. It’s the biggest accomplishment of my career.”
That’s saying a lot. McLaughlin was well-established when he arrived in IndyCar late in the 2020 season. He’d just captured his third consecutive Australian V8 Supercars title — winning a record 18 races in 2019 — ticked the Bathurst 1000 off his resume, and he felt there was little left to accomplish racing across the world.
So he made the move to the U.S. — not such a tough decision since his wife, Karly, is a native New Yorker and he had an IndyCar offer from Penske — and has shown remarkable improvement in each of his three-plus seasons.
He won three races in 2022, and last year, he was the highest-ranked Team Penske driver in the standings at third, outdueling Newgarden, who won the Indy 500 and three other races but finished fifth.
Now, McLaughlin will lead the field to green as Penske seeks a record-extending 20th win in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
The front-row sweep comes at a time when Team Penske is trying to move forward from a cheating scandal in which IndyCar late last month disqualified Newgarden’s victory and McLaughlin’s third-place finish in the March season-opening race. The drivers were found to have illegally used their push-to-pass boost of additional horsepower when it was not allowed.
Penske has since suspended four team members, including Team President Tim Cindric, who is Newgarden’s strategist and considered one of the best in the business.
Not long after the qualifying across the front row, Team Penske scored another victory when Joey Logano won NASCAR’s $1 million All-Star race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
“Obviously the one person this whole thing hurt the most was Roger, and he took it to heart pretty hard,” McLaughlin said of the cheating scandal. “I think we have great depth and that’s a testament to the team. But this has been great medicine because whenever your integrity or reputation is put into question — and that’s understandable considering what happened — it sucks. But you look at how you turn those negatives into positives and I feel Team Penske is doing a good job.”
So good of a job that Power for months had been saying Team Penske’s offseason work was so intense that he was convinced at least one of the three Chevrolets would win the pole. McLaughlin could have used a little less of Power’s confidence.
“I wasn’t as confident as him and, if anything, wanted him to shut it off a little bit,” McLaughlin said. “I just don’t think we needed the unnecessary pressure. We knew. We all had a quiet belief that we could do it. But we didn’t need to be out there telling everyone.”
SCOTT DIXON, THE ‘BRILLIANTLY BORING’ INDYCAR STAR, STILL SEEKING HIS SECOND INDIANAPOLIS 500 WIN
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The marketing campaign calls one of the most accomplished drivers in Indianapolis 500 history “Brilliantly Boring.”
It isn’t far off the mark.
Yet the description, at least as it applies to Scott Dixon, requires a bit of explanation.
It doesn’t refer to the 43-year-old Dixon’s personality, which is quite warm and engaging — at a school visit this week, after other drivers had already left, Dixon waded hip-deep into children and signed autographs until his wrist hurt. Nor is it a not-so-subtle dig at his life away from the track, where the father of three has plenty of other interests.
Rather it is an apt description for what has made the six-time IndyCar champion — and the 2008 winner of the Indianapolis 500 — so consistently good for so many years: The stuff that other people consider boring? He is brilliant at it.
Two decades ago, when Dixon was just starting out in IndyCar and his longtime team, Chip Ganassi Racing, was running underpowered Toyota engines, he learned how to conserve fuel better than just about anyone. He figured it was the best way that he could win a race, and he wound up proving the point late in the 2005 season at Watkins Glen.
The hours that teams spend poring over data? Dixon is right there with the engineers, going through all those flickering numbers that appear meaningless to most everyone else but ultimately make the difference between winning and losing.
“I think it’s more about the process, right?” Dixon explained Thursday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the countdown is on for the 108th running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” assuming the forecasted rain on Sunday holds off.
“Some of the things we find boring,” Dixon said, “the training, the data that all of us go through — it’s the process, right? Some would find that the process is kind of boring. But it’s a necessity, and something you need to do.”
That’s why the primary sponsor of his car, PNC Bank, seized on the idea with the whole “Brilliantly Boring” campaign.
“Some people think banking is boring, but if you do it well …” Dixon said, before trailing off.
Dixon is a testament to doing it well.
Doing it exceptionally, more accurately, especially at the Indy 500.
He’s been on the pole five times, including 2008, when he also reached victory lane. He has led the race 15 times, tied with Tony Kanaan for the most in its history. And perhaps most stunning, Dixon has led 665 laps over the course of 21 races, nearly double that of four-time winner Helio Castroneves, who is second among active drivers with 326.
Dixon has been largely off the radar this May, though, even though he won three of the last four IndyCar races last season, took the checkered flag again earlier this year at Long Beach, and was fourth a couple of weeks ago on the Indianapolis road course to send his team barrelling toward the Indy 500 with plenty of momentum.
Maybe it has something to do with his disappointing performance in qualifying.
Dixon’s team struggled to find speed in practice, even swapping out Honda engines, and it showed last weekend, when he only managed 21st on the 33-car starting grid. That means Dixon will start behind three rookies, including 19-year-old Kyffin Simpson and 23-year-old Marcus Armstrong in the row just ahead of him, with a whole lot of ground to make up.
“The starting position is one thing,” Dixon said. “The we way we look at it, even after last year — the first stint, our tire issue — we were 28th or something, ended up getting back to the top five towards the last stint. Anything is possible in this race.
“I think people always have issues,” Dixon added. “I think for us, with where we’re starting as a group, you definitely need to have no more issues from the outside part because of what happened in qualifying.”
Dixon isn’t the only veteran that has to come from deep in the field. Castroneves will be starting alongside him in the middle of Row 7, and Marco Andretti will be on the inside, and that trio has a combined 62 starts among them.
Each was asked Thursday what it will take to get to the front. Castroneves replied that he was “going to read the race and go according to it,” while Andretti said he would be “methodical” and “drive it more like a marathon rather than a sprint.”
“I’m trying to get all 20 in the first lap, man,” Dixon said with a smile.
“Obviously to be in it,” he added, “you’ve got to be there at the end. We’ll see.”
INDIANA TRACK
LEXINGTON, Kent. –Kenisha Phillips wrapped up a great season with the Hoosiers at the NCAA East First Rounds in Lexington on Thursday afternoon.
She finished fifth in her heat with a time of 53.85 and 30th overall.
On the season, Phillips ran the second-fastest time in the 400 meters at the Big Ten Championships with a time of 52.31 to earn a silver medal.
The Buxton, Guyana native, also had a great indoor season with the Hoosiers after she placed second at the indoor conference championships. She set two school records in the 300 and 400-meter events, and qualified for Indoor nationals in the 400-meter event to finish eighth.
Up next, Antonio Laidler (100m) and Camden Marshall (800m) will compete in the quarterfinals while Grayson Rolen competes in the high jump.
INDIANA BASEBALL
OMAHA, Neb. – It was an offensive explosion for the Indiana Baseball team (32-22-1, 15-9 B1G), putting up 14 runs on 14 hits, scoring multiple runs in four different innings enroute to a 14-7 victory over seventh-seeded Ohio State on Thursday (May 23) afternoon.
The Hoosiers put up a five spot in the second inning, taking advantage of three free passes to begin the inning. Freshman designated hitter Andrew Wiggins had a two-run double while junior third baseman Josh Pyne had an RBI-double of his own in the second frame.
Junior outfielder Carter Mathison had a three-hit day, his third-straight multi-hit game. Junior outfielder Devin Taylor crushed a home run in the eighth inning, the only long ball hit by either team on the day. All nine starters in IU’s lineup had at least one hit. Five different Hoosiers scored multiple runs.
IU’s pitching staff lacked command at time in today’s contest but held Ohio State to seven runs. It has held opponents to seven-or-fewer runs in 15-straight games, dating back to the second game of a doubleheader at Minnesota on April 21st. Sophomore reliever Aydan Decker-Petty (W, 2-2) threw three scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
The Hoosiers are now in a fantastic spot, but the job is not complete. IU will get an extra day of rest on Friday before coming back to play either (2) Nebraska or (7) Ohio State. Head coach Jeff Mercer’s squad just needs one win on Saturday (May 25) to advance to a potential winner-take-all championship game on Sunday in Omaha.
Scoring Recap
Top Second
The Hoosiers put the pressure on early, scoring five in the second inning. Jasen Oliver laced a ball, with the bases loaded, that was caught by the center fielder.

Devin Taylor smashed a ball into the right field gap to score Wiggins. Josh Pyne hit the third double of the inning to bring home Jake Stadler.

Notes to Know
• The Hoosiers put 14 runs on the board in the victory over Ohio State. It tied a program single-game record in a Big Ten Tournament contest for runs scored. IU also scored 14 in a game against Illinois on this day 16 years ago (May 23). IU’s five doubles were the most in a conference tournament game since 2009.
• Tyler Cerny recorded his 23rd double of the season on Thursday afternoon. He now sits alone in third place for doubles in a single season in program history. He has the most doubles in one campaign since Dustin DeMuth (24) in 2013. Cerny and Josh Pyne (21) are the first pair of IU teammates each with 20+ doubles in a season since 2013 (DeMuth and Sam Travis).
• Devin Taylor hit his 18th home run of the season on Thursday. He has home runs in six of his past eight games. His 18 long balls are tied for eighth in a single season in program history with Matthew Ellis (2022), Kyle Schwarber (2013) and Alex Smith (1986).
• The Hoosiers have won their first two games in the Big Ten Tournament for the first time since 2014. IU hasn’t made a conference tournament title game since that same campaign. Its 22 runs in the first two games of the Big Ten Tournament are the most to open a week in program history (last: 21 – 2009).
Up Next
The Hoosiers will meet an undetermined opponent on Thursday afternoon against either No. 2 Nebraska or No. 7 Ohio State. IU just needs one win on Saturday to advance to the Big Ten Championship game on Sunday afternoon. First pitch is set for 9:00 AM CT.

PURDUE TRACK
LEXINGTON, Ky. – With a top-10 time in school history, freshman Alexia Smith advanced to the quarterfinals as the Purdue track & field team competed on the second day of the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships East First Round in Lexington, Kentucky, on Thursday.
Smith was one of two Boilermakers to race on Thursday, the second day of the four-day meet to determine who advances to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, from June 5-8. Smith and 23 other runners in the 400-meter will run in Saturday’s quarterfinal, from which the top 12 finishers move on to the national meet in Oregon.
On a mostly cloudy day that cleared of inclement weather during Purdue’s events, Smith ran one of the fastest times in Purdue history in her NCAA debut.
Smith finished in 53.00 seconds and was 18th overall. While she was seventh in the sixth and final heat, her time was fast enough to earn the fourth of six non-automatic qualifying spots. Smith advanced by 0.21 seconds and bested four automatic qualifiers from other heats. Her 18th-place finish comes after she came in seeded No. 37.
The time also is fifth-fastest in program history and the second fastest since 2018. It’s a personal-best by 0.56 seconds and moved Smith up from No. 10 in the record books.
Earlier on Thursday afternoon, junior Zoe Sullivan raced in her first NCAA First Round in the 100m hurdles. She crossed the finish line in 14.39 seconds and was 41st.

NOTRE DAME SOFTBALL
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Deanna Gumpf, the all-time winningest head coach in Notre Dame athletics history, has announced her retirement. Gumpf amassed 882 wins over 23 seasons as the head softball coach at Notre Dame, a run that included 21 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, five National Fastpitch Coaches Association Regional Coach of the Year honors, 13 NCAA regional final appearances, 11 BIG EAST titles (seven regular-season, four tournaments), 24 NFCA All-Americans, eight conference players of the year, four conference pitchers of the year and one defensive player of the year.
“Notre Dame softball has been one of the greatest gifts I have ever received and I am incredibly grateful to have had the honor of leading this program over the past 23 years.” Gumpf said, “This has been an incredible journey. Retiring has not been an easy decision, but it is the right decision.”
“I am indebted to every player who has worn the Irish uniform, my coaching staff who have given their hearts to our program and my support staff who have worked tirelessly to make us better. I am so grateful for my administration who have been so supportive of me and this program over the years. I am filled with gratitude for all the people who make Notre Dame softball what it is. It’s so much more than just softball.”
Gumpf assumed the head coach position at Notre Dame in 2002, taking over for NFCA Hall of Famer Liz Miller after serving as an assistant under Miller for four seasons. Gumpf would then compile a streak of 18 consecutive seasons with at least 30 wins (before the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and won 30 or more games in 21 of her 22 full seasons. Her .692 winning percentage (882-390-2) ranked among the top-20 active coaches.
“Deanna’s overwhelmingly successful tenure as a leader of student-athletes at Notre Dame will forever have a place in our athletics history,” said University Vice President and James E. Rohr Director of Athletics Pete Bevacqua. “Her unwavering commitment to providing her team with an unmatched student-athlete experience that focuses on creating a winning culture in the classroom and on the field is a lesson to coaches here at Notre Dame and around the country. In my short time as Athletic Director, it has been wonderful to see the love that Deanna, her husband, John, and their children, Brady and Tatum, have for this University and I truly hope that we will continue to see them on campus for years to come.”
During Gumpf’s tenure, 15 different Notre Dame players earned NFCA All-America honors, with Andrea Loman (2002-03), Megan Ciolli (2004-05), Emilee Koerner (2013-15) and Karley Wester (2014 & 2016) earning multiple All-American honors. Koerner, the 2015 ACC Player of the Year, became the first player in program history to earn three All-America accolades after being named to that season’s NFCA All-America Third Team. She copped second-team honors in 2013 to go with a third-team honor in 2014.
The Irish have also produced 102 NFCA all-region performers, eight conference players of the year, four conference pitchers of the year, two conference freshman of the year selections, a defensive player of the year honoree, 131 all-conference recipients, four USA Softball National Player of the Year finalists (Karina Gaskins – 2022, Abby Sweet, 2021, Karley Wester – 2015-16, Emilee Koerner – 2013) and three NFCA Division I National Freshman of the Year finalists (Jane Kronenberger – 2022, Ali Wester – 2016, Karley Wester – 2014) since 2002.
In addition to its triumphs on the field, the Notre Dame softball program has made its mark in the greater South Bend community through various philanthropic endeavors. The Irish have received the Notre Dame Trophy Award, presented to a varsity athletics team exhibiting excellence in community service, eight of the last nine years, thanks primarily to the success of the program’s Strikeout Cancer initiative.
Established in 2011 in support of the Gumpf family after daughter Tatum was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the summer of 2010, Notre Dame’s Strikeout Cancer leukemia awareness campaign has raised more than $250,000 in its first eight years of existence and set a new record for the event in 2024, raising more than $80,000. All proceeds directly benefit South Bend’s Memorial Children’s Hospital and children throughout the state of Indiana who have been diagnosed with cancer. Tatum has been in remission since the fall of 2012, and will be attending the University of Kentucky in the fall.
Deanna and her husband John have two children, Tatum, and Brady, who is a senior on the 2023-24 Notre Dame baseball team.
A national search will begin immediately to find the next head softball coach for the University of Notre Dame.
NOTRE DAME WOMEN’S LAX
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Two of the all-time leading scorers in Notre Dame women’s lacrosse program history add to their already extensive resume after being named as IWLCA First Team All-Americans, the organization announced Thursday afternoon. The program’s leading scorer with 341 over her five years with the Irish, Jackie Wolak was honored as an attacker on the list while her classmate Kasey Choma joins as a midfield honoree.
The dynamic duo combined for 188 points this season, including 114 goals en route to a historic Irish campaign in 2024. Continuously ranking among the nation’s top offensive threats nationally over the course of the season, Wolak and Choma helped lead the Irish to one of the most historic runs in program history while also ranking among the top-five team offenses in the country throughout their final season.
Wolak cemented her name in Irish history numerous times over the course of the season, including becoming the program’s all-time points leader in her final game with the Blue and Gold. Her final weekend in an Irish uniform saw her put up 18 points behind four goals and 14 assists to lead the nation in both points and assists in NCAA Tournament play. Despite the team coming up just shy of the NCAA quarterfinals Wolak continues to lead all offensive players in postseason points, assists, points per game, assists per game and free position goals per game. The 2024 ACC Attacker of the Year and Tewaaraton finalist, Wolak also became the first individual in program history to be drafted by Athletes Unlimited to continue her lacrosse career at the professional level. Scoring her 100th point in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament against Coastal Carolina, Wolak became the first to eclipse triple-digit points in multiple seasons at Notre Dame, surpassing her 2023 point total of 105. Her 110 points in 2024 led the team and was second nationally while putting her third all-time in program history behind that of Crysti Foote (114; ’06) and Jillian Byers (111; ’09).
Starting all 20 games for the Irish in the midfield this season, Choma led the position in scoring and finished third overall on the team with 78 points. She ranked among the nation’s best in nearly every offensive category throughout the season, including fifth in free position percentage with a .714 success rate. In her final games with the Irish, Choma registered eight goals which ranked among the nation’s best to date in the NCAA Tournament and became just the second individual in program history to cap off their career with over 250 career goals. Choma was named a Tewaaraton nominee earlier this season along with numerous other All-American and All-conference honors. Her Irish career came to a close in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, her 85th career contest at Notre Dame which set a program record for career games played. She recorded her 300th career point in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament and went on to record eight points over her final two games in a Blue and Gold uniform. This season she set a career best in assists with 22 and boasted 12 games with three-plus goals.
The honor is Choma’s record fourth All-American recognition by the IWLCA while Wolak earned her second consecutive First Team nod by the organization.

Lefty Oscar Judd, warming up from the start, came in to pitch to the next three lefty hitters: Pete Reiser, Dixie Walker, and Hermanski. Reiser walked and Walker popped out. Furillo came in for Hermanski and connected to give the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. The Dodgers lost to Philadelphia 4-3 in 10 innings.
