You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The Mets just can't catch a break. Fresh off snapping a brutal twelve-game losing streak, New York is back in the hurt locker — Francisco Lindor is headed to the ten-day injured list with a left calf strain. Losing your starting shortstop at this point in the season stings, and the Mets need answers fast before this thing spirals again.
Shifting to the hardwood, the Milwaukee Bucks have their man. Taylor Jenkins is finalizing a deal to become Milwaukee's next head coach, sources confirmed to ESPN Thursday. The former Memphis Grizzlies head coach is no stranger to the organization, having served as an assistant there earlier in his career. This hire comes with enormous pressure, though, as Giannis Antetokounmpo's future in Milwaukee remains an open question.
And on the injury front in the NBA playoffs, Oklahoma City got some tough news — Jalen Williams is out at least a week with a grade one hamstring strain. The Thunder have looked dominant through the first round, but with a potential matchup against the Lakers on the horizon, losing your star scorer right now is the last thing OKC wanted heading into the postseason grind.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
