The San Antonio Spurs are heading into Game one of the Western Conference Finals tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder without their best player. De'Aaron Fox has been ruled out with a right ankle sprain, and that is a massive blow. The Spurs were already the underdog here, and now they're asking a young roster to somehow slow down one of the most dangerous teams in the West without their engine running.
Shifting to the diamond, Gerrit Cole could be making his season debut sooner than expected. The Yankees sent Elmer Rodríguez down to Triple-A Scranton on Monday, opening a rotation spot for Friday's game against the first-place Tampa Bay Rays. Cole has been rehabbing all season and skipping that final rehab start to face a contending Rays squad would be a serious statement of faith from New York's coaching staff.
And over in MMA, referee Herb Dean is standing firm on a controversial ruling from Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions debut on Netflix this past Saturday. The call came during Adriano Moraes versus Phumi Nkuta, a fight that ended in a late submission win for Moraes that had fans and fighters questioning the stoppage timing. Dean's message is simple — the right decision was made, full stop.
