Major Paige Bueckers News Emerges on Thursday
Major Paige Bueckers News Emerges on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Aside from Arike Ogunbowale's play, Paige Bueckers, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick, has been one of the few bright spots for the Dallas Wings this season. Advertisement They started the year 1-11 and have picked up a few wins since then, improving to 5-13. Still, the Wings remain in last place in the Western Conference heading into Thursday night. As a rookie, Bueckers is not only leading the team in points per game (18.4) but also in assists (5.8) and steals (1.8) per game. The 23-year-old point guard elevated her play in June, averaging 21.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5 assists for the month. It certainly didn't go unnoticed, and on Thursday, the league announced Bueckers as the Kia WNBA Rookie of the Month for games played in June. Bueckers won the award despite missing three games at the beginning of June due to a concussion and illness. She also sat out the team's final game of the month with right knee soreness.

Rebilas-Imagn Images The young Dallas star played her college basketball for the UConn Huskies, where she spent five seasons. Bueckers racked up nearly every major honor imaginable — winning four Player of the Year awards in 2021, earning unanimous First Team All-American honors three times and capturing a national championship in her final season. Bueckers' best season statistically came in 2023-24, when she averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

He won the Australian Open each of the past two years, won the U.S. Open last September and was the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open last month. Sinner took the first two sets in that final and held three championship points before Alcaraz came back to win. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press

The two Luis Ortiz pitches that led to MLB's gambling investigation
MLB is investigating Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz after a pair of his pitches received unusual gambling activity, according to a report from ESPN. The betting-integrity firm IC360 flagged two pitches in June and relayed it to sportsbook operators, the outlet reported. The first alert was reportedly triggered by unusual betting action on the first pitch from Ortiz in the bottom of the second against the Mariners on June 15 to be a ball or hit batsman. Advertisement Guardians starter Luis Ortiz throws a pitch against the Mariners on June 15, 2025. Getty Images Ortiz proceeded to throw a slider well off the plate and below the strike zone. On June 27, IC360 sent a second alert regarding unusual action on a pitch from Ortiz, this time the first pitch during the top of the third inning against the Cardinals to be a ball or hit batsman. Advertisement Ortiz once again bounced a slider nowhere near the zone. Bets were flagged in Ohio, New York and New Jersey, ESPN added. Ortiz was placed on leave by MLB due to a league gambling investigation hours before he was supposed to take the mound for Cleveland on Thursday. Advertisement The league announced that he was on non-disciplinary paid leave through the All-Star break — games resume July 18 — due to an investigation, though they didn't announce at the time what he was under investigation for. 'The Guardians have been notified by Major League Baseball that Luis Ortiz has been placed on leave per an agreement with the Players Association due to an ongoing league investigation,' MLB's statement read. 'The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time, and will respect the league's confidential investigative process.' Ortiz adds to a growing list of baseball players that have been tied up in gambling investigations in recent years. Advertisement Last year, Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano was banned by the league for life for betting on Pirates games while he was a member of the team. Cleveland Guardians' Luis L. Ortiz pitches in the first inning of a baseball game against the Cardinals in Cleveland, Friday, June 27, 2025. AP Four other players — A's pitcher Michael Kelly, Diamondbacks pitcher Andrew Saalfrank, Padres pitcher Jay Groome and Phillies infielder José Rodríguez — received one-year suspensions for betting on other teams. Ortiz has gone 4-9 with 4.36 ERA and 96 strikeouts compared to 42 walks spanning 16 starts for the Guardians this season.
