Arsenal are sweating on Ben White after the right-back limped off during Sunday's one-nil win at West Ham, and Mikel Arteta wasn't hiding his concern — his exact words were "it doesn't look good." With the World Cup on the horizon, White's international future could be hanging in the balance after what appeared to be a knee injury suffered in a first-half tackle.

That same match had its own dramatic twist at the other end, as West Ham thought they'd snatched a point deep in stoppage time. Callum Wilson lashed home what looked like a vital equaliser, but VAR intervened — ruling that Declan Rice had blocked the ball over the line, meaning Arsenal held on and took another step toward the Premier League title.

Meanwhile in the NBA playoffs, Dylan Harper delivered a stunning individual performance in San Antonio's game four loss to Minnesota, reaching a historic scoring benchmark last achieved by the great Manu Ginobili. The rookie rose up after Victor Wembanyama's ejection and refused to let the Spurs go quietly, even if the Timberwolves ultimately had the final say.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
