Buffalo had a better season than anticipated this season, but it still wasn’t enough to get out of the bottom tier of NHL teams. As a result, it heads into draft night with the No. 9 pick. However, over the past year, general manager Kevyn Adams has been able to stock up on draft picks, and the Sabres also own two more picks in the first round. They already have a bunch of exciting young players coming through, and now Buffalo can add a few more prized prospects to its pool....

“Ever since I scored no. 99 [against South Africa, in March], it seems like the general public has gone off the boil. Everybody has just assumed that it was inevitable that I’d follow it up with ‘The Big 1-0-0′ against Pakistan [in the World Cup semi-final]…but all of a sudden, in the midst of 30,000 baying fans, it didn’t seem so fulfilling, y’know?” Tendulkar, widely considered to be the greatest batsman of all time, then explained how he began to question the very foundation of his being, embarking on a philosophical journey that he still is yet to satiate....

Where they’re heading The Kings are heading, for better or worse, into the DeMarcus Cousins era. Cousins has been unquestionably productive during his three years in Sacramento, averaging 16.3 points and 9.8 rebounds, but he has also been better-known for his run-ins with teammates and coaches over that span. Well aware of that history, new general manager Pete D’Alessandro and new coach Mike Malone made a concerted effort to get on solid footing with Cousins this summer, and the organization went so far as to commit to a four-year, $62 million contract extension....

With 0.6 seconds left on the clock, Sacramento’s second-year man Ben McLemore headed to the free throw line to expand on his team’s 110-109 lead. Two makes would force Memphis to make a miracle 3-pointer just to tie the game. One make forces a still difficult 3-pointer to win. Two misses would be tough, but could still likely shave off enough time to force a hail mary lob at the rim....

Gunfire erupted in the area of 10th Street and K Street at around 2 a.m. in Sacramento—as bars and nightclubs in the city closed for the night and crowds of people filled downtown streets.

Silva: I’ve been at Man City an eternity but I’m not obsessed with titles City triumphed in the Premier League clash thanks to second-half goals from Gael Clichy and Sergio Aguero, despite Fernandinho’s red card before the interval for a dangerous lunge on Johann Berg Gudmundsson.
