Trae Young looking to sign 4 year contract

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young intends to sign a new four-year, $212-million deal with the team.

Young's new deal falls just short of the $229-million max contract he was eligible to receive from Washington but matches what he could have received from any other team.

Oilers sign Murphy to 5 years

The Edmonton Oilers are signing defenseman Connor Murphy to a five-year contract extension worth $4.1 million per season, the team announced Monday.

Murphy was scheduled to reach unrestricted free agency July 1. The Oilers acquired him from the Chicago Blackhawks prior to this past season's trade deadline for a second-round pick in 2028.

Impending free-agent guard Collin Gillespie is expected to sign a four-year, $48-million deal to return to the Phoenix Suns.

Gillespie had a breakthrough 2025-26 season for the Suns, averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 80 games.

The 26-year-old also set the franchise record for 3-pointers with 232.

Wyndham Clark wins U.S. Open

Wyndham Clark reminded us Sunday at Shinnecock Hills there is no such thing as a safe lead in major championship golf.

The 54-hole U.S. Open leader narrowly avoided becoming just the second man since 1934 to blow a six-shot lead in a major championship, outlasting a charging Sam Burns to prevail by one stroke.

After Burns narrowly missed chances to tie Clark on 17 and 18, the 2023 champion pulled off an unlikely birdie from the fescue on No. 16 to move two clear. While he would bogey the 17th, a two-putt par from 52 feet on 18 delivered the victory and saw Clark become just the 24th man ever to win two U.S. Open trophies.

Kraken signs McMann to 6 Years

The Seattle Kraken signed forward Bobby McMann to a six-year extension with a $5.75-million cap hit, the team announced Sunday.

The 30-year-old was slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Florida Panthers land Brady Tkachuk

The Florida Panthers acquired Brady Tkachuk from the Ottawa Senators, the teams announced Sunday.

The Senators received the ninth and 25th overall picks in this year's draft, plus a 2027 second-rounder and a top-ten protected 2029 first-round pick.

Brady will join his older brother Matthew in Florida. The two won Olympic gold with Team USA in February.

Bryce Harper hits for the cycle

The Philadelphia Phillies stars put on a show for the history books Saturday against the New York Mets.

First baseman Bryce Harper recorded the first cycle of his illustrious 15-year career after collecting a 2-run triple during the fifth inning of the Phillies' 15-3 win. The eight-time All-Star became the 10th player in Phillies history to accomplish the feat. He singled and doubled in the third after hitting a homer in the first.

Wyndham Clark leading U.S. Open after 36 holes

Wyndham Clark appears to be playing a different golf course than the rest of the field through two rounds of the U.S. Open.

Only 10 players will head to the weekend at Shinnecock Hills under par, but Clark made the iconic layout look pedestrian en route to a 36-hole scoring record of 7-under.

That gives the 2023 champion a four-shot lead through two rounds - the biggest margin at the U.S. Open since 2018, the last time the Long Island course hosted.
