Josef Newgarden Wastes No Time Climbing to Top in WWTR Practice
INDYCAR Josef Newgarden continued Saturday to show why World Wide Technology Raceway might be his ultimate playground in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Newgarden led the rain-delayed opening practice for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline with a top lap of 178.243 mph in the No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet. Two-time series champion Newgarden has five career victories in nine starts on the 1.25-mile oval just east of St. Louis in Madison, Illinois. SEE: Practice Results 'So far, so good,' Newgarden said. 'I think we'll have a tight battle with a lot of people. It's hard to win these days with how good the competition is. We're working hard for it. Let's get through qualifying first and see how the car is tomorrow night.' Up next today is NTT P1 Award qualifying at 5:30 p.m. ET, followed by a 60-minute final practice starting at 8:15 p.m. ET. Both sessions will be broadcast live on FS2, the FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network. The 260-lap race starts at 8 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). Team Penske, which has nine INDYCAR SERIES victories at this track, took the top two spots in the 60-minute session, which started 2.5 hours late due to morning showers. Scott McLaughlin, who has won the pole for the last two races at this track, was second at 178.149 in the No. 3 DEX Imaging Team Penske Chevrolet. David Malukas continued his strong form at WWTR by ending up third at 177.856 in the No. 4 Clarience Technologies Chevrolet of A.J. Foyt Enterprises. Two of Malukas' three career top-three finishes have occurred at this egg-shaped track on the east bank of the Mississippi River. Championship leader Alex Palou was fourth at 177.516 in the No. 10 Ridgeline Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. Palou leads second-place Pato O'Ward of Arrow McLaren by 90 points after winning five of the first seven races of the season. O'Ward rounded out the top five at 177.492 in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet.

NBA rumors: Brian Windhorst drops truth bomb on dead Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market
Apr 27, 2025; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) gets ready to play Indiana Pacers during game four of first round for the 2024 NBA Playoffs at Fiserv Forum. Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images The post NBA rumors: Brian Windhorst drops truth bomb on dead Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market appeared first on ClutchPoints. Much of the conversation surrounding the NBA offseason has centered on one question: Will the Milwaukee Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo? Several teams have crafted their summer plans in anticipation of the two-time MVP hitting the market. However, they may be forced to look elsewhere for their star acquisition. Advertisement Up to this point, Antetokounmpo has not asked for a trade, and the Bucks are not fielding offers for the superstar forward, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. 'Right now, there is no Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market, there is no Giannis Antetokounmpo trade discussions. He has not asked for it. The Bucks are not looking to trade him,' Windhorst said on GetUp. ESPN's Shams Charania reported last month that Antetokounmpo was 'open-minded about exploring whether his best long-term fit is remaining in Milwaukee or playing elsewhere.' However, Antetokounmpo seemingly confirmed his desire to remain in Milwaukee during a recent interview with Coast to Coast Brazil. Advertisement 'The Finals are different, I hope to be back soon with the Bucks,' he replied when asked about the matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers. While the Bucks superstar appears inclined to remain with the only NBA team he's ever played for, it's difficult to envision his path to success in Milwaukee. Is Giannis Antetokounmpo content to remain with the Bucks? Benny Sieu-Imagn Images With the Bucks bereft of assets amid three consecutive first-round exits, many within league circles have long felt an Antetokounmpo trade was on the horizon. Damian Lillard's torn achilles, ending any hopes of Milwaukee contending next season, further fueled speculation. Advertisement The Bucks don't control their first or second-round pick in the next six drafts and have only one tradable first-rounder (2031). Lillard will make $54 million next season while rehabbing and $58 million in 2026-27 when he will be approaching 36 years old and coming off a debilitating injury. The rest of Milwaukee's supporting cast — headlined by Brook Lopez, Kyle Kuzma, and Bobby Portis — is far from championship-caliber Antetokounmpo has said that he would be 'letting himself down' if he does not win a second championship. While doing so with the Bucks looks increasingly unlikely, he has yet to give a public indication that he will seek a change of scenery. Until the Bucks definitively say they are not trading Antetokounmpo, his future will remain the top storyline of the NBA offseason.
