Former NBA center Shawn Bradley makes rare public appearance after bike accident that paralyzed him
Former NBA center Shawn Bradley attended the BIG3's Week 10 matchups, where he was seen chatting with Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal Sunday in Dallas.

15 potential 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain's picks, ranked
We're halfway to a full 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team. After the 2025 BMW Championship -- won by Scottie Scheffler -- we now know the six automatic qualifiers who will play at Bethpage Black in September. That would be Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau. That's a solid combo of golfers who had a terrific year. But who could captain Keegan Bradley pick as his six picks? He's got a tall task ahead, as every captain does -- balancing the experienced players and rookies, finding the right chemistry in the locker room and, well, maybe debating whether he should pick himself or not for the competition. Let's rank the best potential selections with around a week to go before we find out: Tier 1: Probable locks Bradley has to take them. It's that simple. Tier 2: Strong candidates You've got a combo of experience in Cantlay and some seriously good golf this year in Griffin and Young. Tier 3: Keegan Bradley picking himself Bradley HAS to consider this. He had a great year! It might be weird but it would be a good move on paper. Tier 4: In the mix The last two are curiosities. Patrick "Captain America" Reed could be a pick because of history, and Spieth might pick that week to play well. When will the United States Ryder Cup captain's picks be announced? It'll be Wednesday, August 27 at 11 a.m. ET.

Scottie Scheffler leads six qualifiers for US Ryder Cup team
Advertisement DeChambeau wound up at No. 6 in the standings. Harris English moved past him with his tie for 12th in the BMW Championship to finish at No. 5, qualifying for his first team on his own. English was a captain's pick for the 2021 matches at Whistling Straits. The leading six players for the Americans were Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, English, and DeChambeau. All those spots — except for DeChambeau — were practically set going into the final qualifying event. Justin Thomas would have needed to finish around the top 10 to supplant DeChambeau. Instead, he will need to rely on a captain's pick for the second straight Ryder Cup. Related : The Ryder Cup is Sept. 26-28 at Bethpage Black. Bradley will announce six captain's picks on Aug. 27, the Wednesday after next week's Tour Championship. Advertisement 'Most years it seems very obvious,' Scheffler said of the US team. 'Once we continue to keep playing next week, it will become more obvious. Right now, I think a couple of spots are still up for grabs.' The Tour Championship in some ways becomes a final audition for Bradley, who is considering taking himself as a pick after finishing 11th in the standings. Thomas was No. 7 followed by Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Maverick McNealy, Bradley, Brian Harman, Andrew Novak, Cameron Young, and Patrick Cantlay. All of the potential captain's picks will be at East Lake next week for the Tour Championship. Europe's qualifying ends next week at the British Masters — players like Shane Lowry at the Tour Championship and Tyrrell Hatton at LIV Golf are not eligible for points. That makes Hatton at No. 5 a lock to be on another team. Lowry, who replaced Straka at No. 6, can only be passed by Rasmus Hojgaard next week. Luke Donald also has six captain's picks.
