Get ready for a New York summer sports spectacle — with plenty to look forward to
They aren't the best teams money can buy, but the Yankees and Mets are worthy contenders, and Caitlin Clark visits Brooklyn again, and our forlorn Giants and Jets attempt to forget about 2024 when they open their respective training camps during another sweltering New York sports summer.
And who knows? The Knicks might fill their head coaching vacancy, too!
Get ready to be entertained by the Boys of Summer and the Girls of Summer as well:

They interview Hubie Brown for their head coach vacancy. Hubie will be 92 in September. But a young 92. Just joking (though Hubie is a Hall of Famer).

Luis Severino trying to block out trade noise amid uncertain A's future
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free As expected, the A's are having another rough season. What maybe wasn't as predictable was Luis Severino's wildly up-and-down first year with them after signing as a free agent after the right-hander's strong bounce-back season with the Mets a year ago. Advertisement Given Severino's struggles at the A's temporary home in Sacramento — a Triple-A ballpark — and his success on the road so far this year, he's already been mentioned as a potential trade target. As The Post's Jon Heyman wrote Thursday, the 31-year-old is 'a trade candidate.' With the Mets in desperate need of starting pitching, with Griffin Canning the latest to be lost with a season-ending injury, Severino was asked Saturday if he'd be interested in getting moved by the deadline. Luis Severino has had an up-and-down first season with the A's. Getty Images Advertisement 'I'm not thinking about that,'' he said prior to the A's 7-0 win over the Yankees at the Stadium, with Severino set to pitch against his former team for the first time in The Bronx on Sunday. 'I'm just trying to concentrate on doing my job and getting better.' Severino is well aware that he's been brutal at home (0-7, 6.79 ERA with a 1.596 WHIP in 10 starts at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento) and mostly superb on the road (2-1, 2.27 with a 1.031 WHIP in seven outings). 'It hasn't been the best year so far, but I'm healthy,'' said Severino, who's already at 100 ²/₃ innings this year after pitching 182 with the Mets last year, plus another 16 ²/₃ in the playoffs. 'I've been really bad at home. I hope from now on or after the [All-Star] break it gets better and I figure it out.' Advertisement That's presuming Severino is still with the A's at that point. He said he hasn't heard of any teams being interested in acquiring him. 'So it's not hard for me to focus here,'' Severino said. 'For me, I have to do my job. If [a trade] happens, it happens. I'll be ready. My main thing is being healthy.' Luis Severino enjoyed a resurgent season with the Mets last year. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement Of the Mets, with whom he resurrected his career in 2024 after an ugly end to his long tenure with the Yankees, Severino said, 'It's not up to me. They were great to me last year, so if it happened, I definitely won't say no, but it's about whatever [the A's] need.' Severino previously said he told his agent he would stay with the Mets for two years and $40 million, but the club was willing to go only as far as it did with Frankie Montas, who signed a two-year, $34 million deal. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS After this season, Severino is still owed $47 million over the next two years. Severino has been outspoken about the difficulty in pitching at a minor league stadium — an issue he was well aware of when he signed the three-year, $67 million contract to go to the A's. 'I knew it was a young team, but I wasn't expecting the field to play like it has,'' Severino said. 'I want to do better there. I just have to figure out how to pitch better at home.' Wherever that may be.

Wings rookie Paige Bueckers out with knee issue day after loss to Fever without Caitlin Clark
DALLAS (AP) - Dallas Wings standout rookie Paige Bueckers has been ruled out of Saturday night's home game against Washington because of a right knee issue. Bueckers showed up on the team's game status report Saturday. There were no details about what the exact issue was a day after she scored 27 points and had six assists while playing nearly 36 1/2 minutes in the Wings' 94-86 loss to the Indiana Fever. It will be the fifth game missed by the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. Bueckers was sidelined for three games while in the WNBA's concussion protocol and then sat out because of illness in the first game she was eligible to return. Paige Bueckers Associated Press In her 13 games played, Bueckers has averaged 18.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals. Caitlin Clark, last year's WNBA Rookie of the Year, didn't play for the Fever on Friday night, missing her second consecutive game because of a left groin injury. That spoiled what was supposed to be the first meeting of the past two No. 1 picks in the draft, though the 20,000-seat American Airlines Center was still nearly full for the game. The Wings hosted Washington at College Park Center on the UT-Arlington campus, their home arena that has a capacity of 6,251. That is about 20 miles from the AAC in downtown Dallas.
