Zach Edey has left ankle surgery that could sideline him for the start of next season
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Zach Edey could miss the start of the 2025-26 season after the Memphis Grizzlies rookie center had surgery Tuesday on his left ankle. Edey needed the procedure to repair and restabilize his ankle after spraining it again during offseason training last week. The Grizzlies said the 7-foot-3 Canadian would be evaluated again in four months, which is less than two weeks before the 2025-26 season opens Oct. 21. The two-time national player of the year at Purdue missed 12 games early in the season because of a sprained left ankle. He went on to play in 66 games, making 55 starts, and averaged 9.2 points and a rookie-leading 8.3 rebounds. He was voted to the All-Rookie first team.

Pierce set to return to the 'Peg
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea would downplay the biggest storyline of the week. The Bombers' home contest against the B.C. Lions at Princess Auto Stadium on Thursday (7:30 p.m.) not only marks the club's first game of the 2025 campaign, it also marks the return of Buck Pierce, who spent 10 years with the team — the last four as offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach — before accepting his first head-coaching gig with the Lions. 'I think the same thing I've always thought: it's not me versus Buck whatsoever. Really, it's two squads that have created their own identities, and they'll go out there and play good football. It's always about the pros versus the pros, not necessarily the coaches,' O'Shea said. DARRYL DYCK / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILES Buck Pierce returns to Princess Auto Stadium for the first time on Thursday since leaving the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to become head coach of the B.C. Lions. Pierce spent a decade with the club. I'm excited for Buck's opportunity. I was excited for him to get his first win. I mean, it's pretty neat to watch. There's always going to be a personal relationship there.' There might not be another player or coach outside of the building who knows the Bombers as well as Pierce. He worked with most of the offensive players who will attempt to drive the field on the Lions' defence, and he's practised against many of the defenders he will try to best in an effort to extend his unblemished record as a head coach. Even with that in mind, O'Shea still disregarded any notion that the Lions would have an advantage come game time. 'He knows where we throw out the trash, he knows where we throw out the paperwork,' O'Shea quipped. 'No, we're good. It'll be good to see him.' One thing players and coaches on the Bombers' staff did not downplay was their appreciation for their former colleague. 'Love him. Happy for him,' said offensive co-ordinator Jason Hogan, who Pierce recruited to Winnipeg in 2022. 'I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Buck. I'm really happy he won the first one. Obviously, I don't want him to win this next one. Looking forward to it. Looking forward to seeing him out there and sharing that experience together. It will be exciting.' Pierce was the quarterbacks coach for Chris Streveler's first two seasons in the league (2018-19) and was the offensive co-ordinator when he returned from an NFL stint in 2024. Streveler, who will start this week in place of Zach Collaros, called Pierce a 'great dude' but said his return is, 'not really something that I'm thinking about.' Streveler didn't hesitate when talking about whether he felt the Lions' defence had any advantage over him this week, due to Pierce knowing his strengths and weaknesses. 'Not necessarily. Because I think I'm always going to continue to improve as a player. And I think I said it last week, too — I thought I had one of my best camps I've ever had. I think I'm continuing to get better each day. And so I don't look at that as a disadvantage at all,' he said. MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS FILES Winnipeg Blue Bombers' Chris Streveler, who will be starting for the Blue and Gold on Thursday, doesn't think B.C. Lions head coach Buck Pierce — as Streveler's former quarterback coach and offensive co-ordinator — has any advantage over him. 'I mean, there's nine teams in the CFL. Everyone knows everyone. So there's no secrets in this league. So I'm just excited to go out there and play again. That's just not really something I'm thinking about.' The true chess match on Thursday will be between Pierce and Bombers defensive co-ordinator Jordan Younger, who called plays against each other in practice for seven years. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Younger wasn't shy about the challenge in front of both coaches. 'We'll see, man. I spent a lot of time around Buck. I know him well. He knows me well. I'm excited to do it. Some of it will be players versus players, personnel versus personnel, some of it will surely be him versus me, me versus him,' Younger said, adding he will look back at some of Pierce's tendencies, something he expects Pierce will also do. 'I mean, he should. And, we do. All the resources we have, the people that have been here, the people that know him, the people that played with him, played for him — you pick their brains and try to get information from them, but I think ultimately it comes down to the flow of the game,' he said. 'It's nothing personal that way.' X: @jfreysam Joshua Frey-SamReporter Josh Frey-Sam reports on sports and business at the Free Press.

Countdown clocks mark 1 year until World Cup soccer fans descend on Toronto, Vancouver
The one-year countdown to the 2026 World Cup starts Wednesday, with clocks to be unveiled to mark the occasion in Toronto, Vancouver and Niagara Falls. Toronto and Vancouver are World Cup host cities. Niagara Falls offers a world-class backdrop for a reminder that FIFA's expanded 48-team soccer showcase is just around the corner. There are more milestones to come in Canada, with a call for some 7,000 volunteers to be issued in August, ticket sales starting in September and the tournament draw in December. Adidas has yet to unveil the match ball. Tournament mascots will also be introduced. The tournament's official poster will join those of the 16 host cities. And the World Cup trophy is scheduled to make an appearance in Ottawa on Canada Day. The World Cup kicks off June 11, 2026, with games in Mexico City and Guadalajara. On June 12, the focus switches to matches in Toronto and Los Angeles. Story continues below advertisement The final is set for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. 'It's nine years so far on this project,' said Peter Montopoli, chief tournament officer for Canada. 'This marathon is now at one year out, turned into a sprint. I think that's the part we really enjoy. For the people who love to run events, this is the part that really excites them. This is where all the magic happens in the last year. 'So it's exciting. It's an exciting time to be running the event, it's an exciting time for FIFA and it's an exciting time for our country.' In all, there will be 104 games, with 13 each in Canada and Mexico and the remaining 78 in the U.S. The last seven editions of the tournament featured 32 teams and 64 games.

It will be a first World Cup appearance for both Jordan and Uzbekistan. On Wednesday, the two Canadian host cities will also release anniversary videos with actor Will Arnett featured in Toronto's and former Canada goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc in Vancouver's. Story continues below advertisement Canadians will be able to apply for tickets two ways — through the FIFA lottery (assuming FIFA follows past practices) and via membership in Canada Soccer's Canada Red program, which will distribute the ticket allotment for Canada matches. 'There's different ways to purchase (tickets),' said Montopoli. 'If you want to get in early, you go in the fall.' Montopoli said there is no word yet on ticket pricing. While the full match schedule won't be known until the draw, Canada will open in Toronto and then play its remaining group games in Vancouver. Toronto and Vancouver will each host five opening-round matches plus a round-of-32 knockout match. Vancouver will also stage a round-of-16 game. Canada Soccer is revamping its existing Canada Red membership program, expanding it from the current three tiers (the first free and the other two at a cost of $50 and $150 annually) to seven levels (from free to $5,000 annually). Each tier provides access to Canada Soccer's ticketing allotment lottery for games featuring the Canadian men — the higher the tier, the higher the chances of securing tickets. FIFA traditionally reserves a portion of each World Cup game's tickets for the participating member federations. This is Canada Soccer's method of distributing them. Canada Soccer also used a Canada Red tiered approach for tickets for Canada's games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Story continues below advertisement Canada Red members in the top tiers will have the best chance to access tickets as they will have access to the first draw and each subsequent draw afterwards. Canada Red, the new version of which launches later this summer, 'directly supports' Canada Soccer's philanthropic initiatives, according to Canada Soccer. The Canada Red program currently has more than 100,000 members. While the clock counts down, the City of Toronto is still looking for funds to help pay for its end of the tournament, arguing that it is having to dig deeper into its pocket because the cost of providing services related to public transport, policing and hospitals, among others, has increased to almost $40 million in total — reducing the provincial cash contribution and adding to the city's bill. The cost of hosting six games in Toronto has been pegged at $380 million, with the federal government contributing $104 million and Ontario, including services, $97 million. Toronto's tab is $178.7 million (47 per cent of the total cost). A ring of permanent suites is under construction at B.C. Place Stadium. BMO Field will get an additional 17,750 seats, bringing total capacity to around 45,735 seats, with the north and south ends expanded. Two of four new video screens are now working at BMO Field, which is also getting new suites. Story continues below advertisement FIFA will take over the tournament stadiums 30 days before the first game there, which would mean May 13 for Toronto and May 14 for Vancouver. The tournament office in Toronto, already up and running, will have 82 full-time staff — it's currently around 70 — with most getting an early taste of tournament work via the FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off later this month in the U.S. The Vancouver office opens next Tuesday ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. 'We know what we need to do to execute,' Montopoli said of tournament preparation. 'So we feel very comfortable in where we stand today. There's always little nuances that can happen, but as of today — one year out — we're exactly where we felt we needed to be to position ourselves for success.'
