Pacers' Haliburton appears to aggravate lower leg injury in Game 5 of NBA Finals
Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton briefly left Game 5 of the NBA Finals for treatment after apparently aggravating an injury to his lower right leg, grabbing at it in obvious discomfort more than once. He played 10:04 of the first quarter Monday, then left for the locker room area and emerged with a wrap on his lower leg. Haliburton checked back into the game with 8:27 left in the first half. The injury — whatever it is — has been an issue for much of the series. Haliburton was clearly limping after Game 2, then said before Game 3 that there wasn't much to discuss. 'I'm fine. Really just a lower leg thing. I'll leave it at that,' Haliburton said. 'I don't think there's anything more to elaborate.' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle revealed earlier in the series that Haliburton has been experiencing some discomfort, though did not sound overly concerned. Haliburton has started all five games in the series. Haliburton came into Monday averaging 17.8 points, 7.5 assists and six rebounds in the finals. He missed his first four shots of Game 5, appearing to be laboring at times while running or even walking. ___ AP NBA: recommended

Emma Hayes giving USWNT a break. Plus: Angel City's immigration demonstration
Full Time Newsletter ⚽| This is 's weekly women's soccer newsletter. Sign up here to receive Full Time directly in your inbox. Get your popcorn ready for this one.🍿 Emily Olsen here with Meg Linehan, Asli Pelit and Tamerra Griffin — welcome to Full Time! Summer Camp Hayes gives players 'much-needed' rest Just months into the job, head coach Emma Hayes pushed the U.S. women's national team nearly to the brink at the Olympics — she even referenced the ultramarathon ideology of the 'pain cave.' But like any good leader, Hayes understands balance. This year she's giving key players a 'much-needed break.' Advertisement Roughly 10 days out from the next USWNT camp, we are still waiting for the roster. But Hayes revealed in an interview with ESPN that she plans to give the Europe-based players the next summer window off. This includes two games against Ireland in Denver and Cincinnati next week and one versus Canada in Washington, D.C., on July 2. With the 2027 World Cup in Brazil two years away and her core group starting to take shape, Hayes said that 'player welfare' and 'rest and recovery' are important, especially considering number of games played, the length of seasons and the frequency of games since the 2023 World Cup. The camp will help key players returning from injury, too. Vice-captain and defender Naomi Girma, who spent her first months with Chelsea injured, will return to the team as she continues to build fitness. Hayes also hopes Rose Lavelle will join. The Gotham midfielder had ankle surgery in the offseason and made her first start earlier this month. Advertisement Trinity Rodman, who remains out to address a back issue, is expected to miss camp again. Hayes thinks she'll be back with her club, the Washington Spirit, in July. 📺 Hayes has handed out nearly two dozen first-time call-ups already. Watch former USWNT midfielder Sam Mewis share who she thinks should be next. A tale of 2 teams I won't reference the U.S. men often in this newsletter, but I think there is too stark of a juxtaposition between the teams right now not to. (And with Midge Purce pointing out the drama, it only felt right.) For those who don't know, here's what the men have been up to: Advertisement With one year to go until the 2026 men's World Cup, the pressure is on for new coach Mauricio Pochettino, who — like Hayes on the women's side — is internationally experienced at the club level and coached Chelsea. Over the past few weeks, a bit of back-and-forth has brewed between Pochettino, team captain Christian Pulisic and … former players via an exhausting number of podcasts. (As much as I encourage you to listen to our 'Full Time' podcastverse, not everyone needs one.) Pulisic, who isn't playing for the U.S. this summer, told CBS he wanted to be part of the recent friendlies but sit out the Concacaf Gold Cup to recharge. Pochettino seemingly took issue with those comments, most recently responding ahead of his team's 5-0 win yesterday (which ended a four-game losing streak): 'I don't need for him to understand our decision. … I am 53 with a lot of experience in fútbol,' and adding, 'I think when I signed my contract (with) the federation, (it said) I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin.' The situations aren't identical, and we won't know if Hayes' approach will pay off until 2027, but it does appear she's getting ahead of any future tension by considering her players' workload before competitive matches pick back up.

Hi, My Name Is … US Women's million-dollar goal scorer Evelyn Shores was still jetlagged from her trip to Germany when she scored the goal worth $1 million for the US Women at The Soccer Tournament last week. The 20-year-old Atlanta native had a breakout year after consecutive injuries sidelined her during her senior year of high school and freshman season at UNC — the school she'd dreamed of attending since eighth grade. Shores played a pivotal role in securing UNC's 23rd NCAA title in 2024, its first in 12 years. Advertisement At the end of May, as the only collegiate player on the U.S. U‑23 roster, she scored a dramatic last-minute winner against Germany, proving she is poised for success on the international stage. Her true pièce de résistance came just days later on a field in Cary, N.C. — just a stone's throw from campus — where she played alongside her idols: Heather O'Reilly, Ali Krieger and Carli Lloyd. The icing on the cake was that TST game winner: Unfortunately for Shores, NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes from accepting prize money. However, she wasn't in it for that. 'Playing one-v-one in practice with Carli Lloyd the day after flying in from Germany? That was insane,' she told Asli. 'They made us feel like equals. That was the craziest part.' Advertisement Could she be the next U.S. player called into the senior team? Meg's Corner: Angel City is 'Immigrant City Football Club' The less said about Angel City's last-gasp loss at home to the North Carolina Courage the better for Angel City fans. However, the events happening off the pitch at BMO Stadium went beyond soccer this weekend and took center stage in the NWSL, following a week of immigration raids and resulting protests in Los Angeles. The club distributed 10,000 T-shirts reading 'Immigrant City Football Club' and 'Los Angeles is for everyone / Los Ángeles es para todos' to players, staff, supporters and fans. They are also available in their online shop, with net proceeds going to a local legal service for immigrants. Advertisement 'The fabric of this city is made of immigrants. Football does not exist without immigrants. This club does not exist without immigrants,' Angel City wrote on a message card handed out on Saturday night. Founding investor and recording artist Becky G also read it out before the match. It was an affirmative, if not outright earnest, reply from Angel City as a club and as a part of the Los Angeles community to the fear and uncertainty stemming from the week's events. The NWSLPA also released a joint statement with the WNBA players association, and Chicago Stars FC pointed to local resources in a brief statement. The league itself has yet to address the topic, however, even if it was clear how the NWSL community as a whole appreciated Angel City's willingness to step up and meet the moment. Need to Know Lyonnes in talks with USWNT teen star Lily the Lyonne might have to become a thing. Advertisement Ajax and USWNT midfielder Lily Yohannes, who recently celebrated her 18th birthday, may soon be the latest signing of OL Lyonnes, joining French striker Marie Antoinette Katoto and incoming head coach Jonathan Giráldez, making the eight-time Champions League title holders look even more ferocious next season. Last week, Tamerra reported that Ajax, where Yohannes signed her first professional contract, and the French powerhouse were in talks over a potential summer transfer, introducing a bit of a plot twist to the recent reports that the Springfield, Va., native might be headed to Chelsea. A source said Ajax's talks are currently focused on OL Lyonnes, though nothing has been signed yet. Trust and believe Chelsea fans will be processing this as a loss if the deal goes through.

Advertisement Scary situation: I was horrified to read about Seattle Reign forward Jordyn Huitema's experience with a high-profile home invasion and moved by the trust and care with which Susie Rantz told her story: 'She had broken her back the year before, and as she sat behind the door, she made peace with the idea that if she had to break it again to keep the door shut, she would.'

Nina Kuscsik, marathon pioneer and first (official) winner of Boston women's race, has died
BOSTON (AP) — Nina Kuscsik, who campaigned for women's inclusion in long-distance running and then won the Boston Marathon the first year that they were officially allowed to enter into the race, has died. She was 86. An obituary for the A.L. Jacobsen Funeral Home in Huntington Station, New York, said Kuscsik died June 8 of respiratory failure after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. 'Nina was more than a pioneer, determined women's running advocate, and celebrated icon within the sport. To us, she was a friend who will always be remembered for her kindness, joyful laugh and smile,' the Boston Athletic Association said on Instagram. 'Nina held the distinct honor of winning the 1972 Boston Marathon, and recognized the platform that came with that triumphant moment, inspiring thousands of women to reach their own goals and finish lines in the decades since. The BAA extends heartfelt condolences to Nina's family, friends, and all in the running community who were touched by her grace.' According to the obituary, Kuscsik graduated from high school at 16, studied nursing for two years and received her license at 18 after petitioning to change a New York law that required nurses to be 21. She won state championships in speed skating, roller skating and cycling – all in the same year -- before turning to running when her bicycle broke. She ran the Boston Marathon four times from 1968-71 — before women were officially welcomed, a period retroactively recognized as the Pioneer Era — and then won the first official women's race in 1972. She was also the first woman to enter the New York race, in 1970, and was one of the 'Six who Sat' – six women who refused to start the '72 New York City Marathon for 10 minutes to protest an Amateur Athletic Union rule that the women's race had to be separate from the men's. She won that year and the next year as well. She later served on AAU and USA Track and Field committees drafting rules for women's running. Kathrine Switzer, who entered the 1971 Boston Marathon using her initials and became the first woman to official compete, called Kuscsik 'one of our greatest leaders.' 'Nina was not only a champion runner, but was instrumental in the official acceptance of women and distance running because she did years of tough work of changing rules, regulations and submitting medical evidence to prove women's capability," said Switzer, who started alongside Kuscsik and six other women who met the qualifying time for the the 1972 Boston race. 'Eight of us registered, eight of us showed up, and all eight of us finished,' she said. 'It was a stunning moment — and a blistering hot day — but appropriately enough, Nina won.' In addition to the more than 80 marathons she ran over her lifetime, Kuscsik set the American record for the 50-mile run in 1977 and won the Empire State Building Run-Up three straight years from 1979–81.
