Cameron McAdoo to undergo knee surgery; return timeline unknown
Cameron McAdoo will undergo knee surgery on Thursday to repair an ACL that was torn in a preseason crash. A timeline for his return has not been announced.
'Hey everyone; I wanted to jump on here and give you guys an update,' McAdoo said in a social media post. 'As you all know, I didn't race the main event in Daytona last weekend. After practice and after the heat race, there were just a few moments on track that really made me realize that I was very low on strength with my leg. Obviously, my safety and all the other riders on the track's safety is the important thing. For me to race at the highest level, it had become just not quite safe yet, so the team came together and made the decision to go get my knee fixed up.
Despite the injury, McAdoo finished fifth in his heat race and would have had a mid-pack gate pick.
'As you guys all know, that was a really tough decision for me,' McAdoo continued. 'I always want to be out on the track and trying my hardest. That was tough, but it was just time, so this week I have surgery scheduled for Thursday. Looking forward to going in and getting fixed up. I'll keep you guys all updated with my recovery process, keep you in the loop and just looking forward to getting healthy and getting back out there.'
In the most recent Monster Energy Supercross 250 East race, McAdoo crashed while riding sixth on Lap 15 and suffered facial lacerations.
'My knee has just not been strong enough today to safely race, and my safety, along with other riders on the track, is the most important,' McAdoo said in a press release immediately following the race. 'As everyone knows, I will always do everything I can to race, but it was not in the cards for us today.'
Incredibly, McAdoo finished third in the 250 East opener in Tampa, but the strain of three rounds and any practice he could endure had a cumulative effect on the health of his knee.
'It is what it is,' McAdoo reflected on his injury to NBC Sports to Daytona prior to the Daytona race. 'The same as it was in Tampa. I have a fully torn ACL, so nothing is going to change a whole lot, but we're managing it well at this point.'

Why Warriors' Brandin Podziemski doesn't want a Giannis Antetokoumpo trade
The post Why Warriors' Brandin Podziemski doesn't want a Giannis Antetokoumpo trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. In today's NBA, stars change teams at every trade deadline and free-agency period. As of June 3rd, the longest-tenured All-Stars in the league are Stephen Curry and Draymond Green with the Golden State Warriors. Giannis Antetokounmpo is close behind, having spent the first 12 seasons of his career with the Milwaukee Bucks. Advertisement However, Milwaukee could trade their star soon. According to Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski, he does not want to see the MVP finalist to demand a trade this summer. After an ACL injury to Damian Lillard and another first-round playoff exit, experts expect Antetokounmpo to request a trade this summer. Teams around the league will line up to offer packages for the nine-time All-NBA selection. However, Podziemski offered his thoughts on the situation. According to him, he much prefers players to stay with their original team for their entire career. Podziemski grew up in Wisconsin and was a big Bucks fan as a kid. He spoke to Kay Adams on Tuesday's episode of Up and Adams about the rumors swirling around the superstar. To him, Antetokounmpo playing in another city just doesn't feel right. 'It's like Steph[en Curry] not playing for the Warriors,' Podziemski said about the Greek Freak changing teams. 'All guys who've cemented their legacy and what they're about in this league on one team, you never expect it to change. Advertisement 'It's the same as Luka [Doncic] in Dallas. The whole world is shocked because of the player that he is, and you could see that they were building around him. It's like any star in the league that stays with one team. You expect them to be in one jersey, and anywhere else just doesn't seem right at all.' Even though he is with the Warriors, Podziemski still has an affinity for his hometown. For him, his goal is to win a championship in Milwaukee for Golden State against the Bucks. 'It'd be pretty cool to win a championship in Milwaukee against them; that would be something cool,' Podziemski said. 'But I love Golden State. I love everything that they've invested in me despite having Hall of Famers all the time around me. It's pretty cool to be wanted as a young player.' Podziemski and Antetokounmpo are at different points in their careers. However, if the young Warriors guard has his way, they will stay where they are and finish their careers with one team. Still, Milwaukee's superstar fits what the Warriors are looking for. Therefore, there is a world in which they are in the same deal.

Walsh swims second-fastest 100m butterfly in history at US Championships
Gretchen Walsh wins the women's 100m butterfly at the US Swimming Championships, selection meet for the 2025 World Championships in Singapore (Maddie Meyer) Gretchen Walsh clocked a stunning 54.76sec to win the 100m butterfly at the US Swimming Championships on Thursday, coming up just shy of her own world record in a comfortable victory over Olympic champion Torri Huske. Walsh, who settled for silver behind Huske at the Paris Games last year, had lowered her own world record twice at the Fort Lauderdale Pro Swim last month, becoming the first woman to dip below 55 seconds with a world mark of 54.60sec in the finals there. Advertisement She was well under world-record pace when she turned in 25.19sec, and even though she couldn't lower the mark, she posted the second-fastest time in history and had plenty to hold off Huske, who finished 1.8sec back in 56.61sec. "I just like pushing myself past boundaries that I never thought possible," Walsh, who now owns the top seven times in history, told NBC Sports. She lined up a second individual event at the World Championships in Singapore July 11-August 3 after winning the 50m fly with the fourth-fastest time ever on Wednesday. Katharine Berkoff also turned up the heat, posting the second-fastest 50m backstroke time in history with her win in 26.97sec. She broke the American record of Regan Smith, who was second in 27.20. Advertisement Lilly King, a three-time Olympic gold medallist and an 11-time world champion who has announced this will be her last season, won the 50m breaststroke in 29.88sec. Bobby Finke ran down Carson Foster to win the men's 400m individual medley in 4min 07.46sec. He sliced more than two seconds off his personal best to get the better of Paris Olympics bronze medallist Foster, who finished in 4:07.92. Finke, two-time Olympic gold medallist and world record-holder in the 1,500m freestyle, indicated last month that he wouldn't swim the 400 medley in Singapore even if he qualified because of a scheduling conflict with the events. Advertisement "I've got to talk to my coaches about it, but we kind of have a plan in mind," he said. Emma Weyant, silver medallist at the Tokyo Olympics and bronze medallist at the Paris Games last year, won the women's 400m individual medley in 4:34.81 with Katie Grimes second in 4:37.22. Shaine Casas led all the way in winning the men's 100m butterfly in 50.51sec. Quintin McCarty won the men's 50m backstroke in 24.34sec with Casas second in 24.44. Campbell McKean, 18, won the men's 50m breaststroke in a personal best 26.90, edging veteran Michael Andrew by two-hundredths of a second. bb/js

Russell Wilson Improves Giants' Offense Ranking
Russell Wilson Improves Giants' Offense Ranking originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A season ago, the New York Giants entered camp with little optimism surrounding the offense. Quarterback Daniel Jones, recovering from an ACL tear, had run out of goodwill with the fanbase. Receiver Malik Nabers was all the rage as he obliterated opposing corners and made one-handed catches throughout the summer, but tied to Jones, expectations were low. At running back, well, nobody was going to fill Saquon Barkley's shoes. Advertisement Things went about as poorly as pessimistic fans may have anticipated. Jones struggled before eventually being benched (and released). Nabers was among the best receivers in the league but grew visibly frustrated with his offensive environment. And just half a season into a three-year deal, running back Devin Singletary was unseated by rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. In 2025, New York's offense is incredibly similar, with the only change coming at quarterback. General manager Joe Schoen is banking that Russell Wilson will make the difference and elevate a unit that crashed and burned last season. In Sports Illustrated's ranking of each team's offensive trio, the Giants' placement reveals Wilson's true value. Ultimately, New York ranked 23rd, between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Advertisement 'This isn't a trio that will get the Giants to the Super Bowl, or likely even the playoffs, but it's better than what the team has been trotting out in recent years,' Matt Verderame wrote. 'Nabers is a burgeoning superstar after posting a 1,000-yard season as a rookie, while Wilson is basically Joe Montana compared to Daniel Jones and Tommy DeVito. Tracy is also a solid back after registering 839 yards and five touchdowns on 4.4 YPC last year.' It goes without saying that the quarterback position held New York back a season ago, which means Wilson doesn't have to be elite to represent a massive improvement. Bridging the gap from bad to average can net serious benefits, especially if the Giants' defense takes advantage of their newfound opportunities. Wilson ranked 21st in expected points added per play, 26th in success rate, and sixth in completion percentage over expected (per rbsdm). Jones, in his shortened season, ranked 27th, 19th, and 16th, respectively. Also adding to New York's upswing is the perception of Nabers. Heading into his rookie year, Nabers was a high-profile prospect but still an unknown. By the end month of games, he put that to rest. Emerging as a superstar undoubtedly played a role in adding credibility to the unit. Advertisement Ultimately, it's hard to see the Giants' offense emerging as above-average in 2025. If it can provide a stable environment for Jaxson Dart to eventually blossom, Wilson will have done more than enough for his one season in New York.
