The Washington Wizards have won the NBA Draft lottery to secure the first selection in next month's event at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. With the worst record in the NBA, the Wizards were among three teams with 14-percent odds of getting the top pick heading into the lottery. Meanwhile, several teams jumped up in the lottery, including the Utah Jazz, who got the No. 2 pick, as well as the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls, who will pick third and fourth, respectively.Next month's draft has a number of elite recruits, including BYU swingman AJ Dybantsa, Kansas combo guard Darryn Peterson and Duke power forward Cameron Boozer, the son of retired NBA forward, Carlos. 'Standing here is kind of crazy,' Dybantsa told reporters in New York on Sunday, as quoted by The Associated Press. 'One of these teams is going to be home.' In addition to the top pick in next month's NBA Draft, the Wizards also enter the 2026-27 season with former All-Stars Trae Young and Anthony Davis, both of whom were acquired in trades during the 2025-26 campaign. Interestingly, this marked the second consecutive year that a team that acquired Davis in a mid-season trade went on to get the first pick in the following draft. Last season, the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic for Davis and ultimately picked Rookie of the Year favorite Cooper Flagg first overall. No team suffered more on Sunday than the Indiana Pacers, who also had a 14-percent chance at the top pick, but will now surrender the fifth-overall selection in next month's draft by virtue of a conditional February trade for center Ivica Zubac. That deal specified that the Pacers' first-round pick would convey to the Clippers if it fell between picks No. 5 and No. 9. The Brooklyn Nets also got some bad news on Sunday, landing the No. 6 selection despite also having a 14-percent chance at the top spot. The Sacramento Kings will pick at No. 7, while the Atlanta Hawks, Mavs, Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, defending-champion Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets found out selections No. 8 through No. 14, respectively. The NBA plans to implement anti-tanking rules in 2027 after a number of teams, including the Wizards, were accused of limiting their rosters in an effort to capture this year's No. 1 overall pick. Washington has not reached the playoffs since Scott Brooks coached the team in 2021. Brooks was fired after that season and replaced with the son and namesake of franchise legend Wes Unseld, who was then replaced with Brian Keefe in 2024. Keefe is expected to retain his job on the Wizards sideline heading into next season despite a record of 43-160 in Washington. The Wizards were represented on Sunday by John Wall, the retired point guard they picked the last time the team won the lottery. Washington also had the top pick in 2001, when they made the ill-fated decision to pick Kwame Brown, as well as 1961 and 1962, when they added Walt Bellamy and Bill McGill, respectively. #basketball #washingtonwizards #wizards #nbadraft
XXIV KOLEJKA 1 LIGI PIŁKI RĘCZNEJ
BLACKSBURG, Va. (WFXR) – The No. 21 Virginia women’s lacrosse team (8-8, 6-4 ACC) closed out the regular season with a 13-10 victory against Virginia Tech (9-8, 3-7 ACC) on Thursday at Thompson Field in Blacksburg, Va. The game was tied 10-10 to start the fourth quarter. UVA freshman Megan Rocklein scored what would be the game-winning goal two minutes into the period, with sophomore Livy LaVerghetta and junior Kate Galica adding two more in the quarter to secure the victory. Galica led the Cavaliers with five goals, including scoring the 100th goal of her career. She scored three of those goals in the first quarter. Junior Madison Alaimo had five assists. The Hokies’ offense struck first, with Mia Pozzi scoring the first goal of the game four and a half minutes into play. The Cavaliers responded quickly, netting three goals in a two-and-a-half-minute span. Virginia led 4-2 at the end of the first quarter, but the Hokies opened the second period on a 4-0 run with goals by Hokies Sarah Murrell, Lauren Render, Colleen Thieke, and Reese Wallich to take a 6-4 lead. Virginia closed the half with three-straight goals, including a score from junior Jenna DiNardo in the final 40 seconds to take a 7-6 lead into the break. UVA led 9-7 midway through the third period when the Hokies rallied to tie the game 9-9 with 6:18 remaining in the quarter and then took a 10-9 lead with 2:24 remaining. Sophomore Gabby LaVerghetta scored with 1:06 remaining to knot it at 10 heading into the final period. This was the final game of the season for the Hokies, but the Cavaliers will continue play next week at the ACC Championships in Charlotte, N.C. The top eight teams in the conference earn spots in the tournament. The Cavaliers finished in a tie for fifth place in the standings with Boston College and Notre Dame. UVA will earn the No. 5 seed in the championship by virtue of its regular-season wins against both the Eagles and the Fighting Irish. UVA will play 4th seeded Syracuse next Wednesday at 2pm.
Laurence Holmes and Russ Dorsey reacted to the Bulls landing an extra first-round pick in the NBA Draft this June by virtue of the Blazers advancing to the playoffs with a win against the Suns on Tuesday in the play-in tournament. Does that make the Bulls' executive opening a more attractive job? #ChicagoBulls #Bulls #nba Thumbnail images provided by Getty Images. Subscribe for the latest Chicago sports news and videos!

Il meglio dello Sport sui canali Rai da rivedere su https://www.raiplay.it/sport/ Un'Italia come un Giano bifronte pareggia 3-3 contro la Germania a Dortmund. Una partita intensa e, appunto, contrassegnata da due volti. La Germania si porta avanti di tre gol nel primo tempo con Kimmich, Musiala e Kleindienst. L'Italia riesce nell'incredibile impresa di recuperare l'enorme divario grazie a una doppietta di Kean e al rigore di Raspadori nel recupero. Gli Azzurri, però, finiscono qui il loro cammino in Nations League in virtù della sconfitta rimediata all'andata.
