Curtains close on Year 1 of the Luka and LeBron Lakers
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. ⚾️ Scary scene in Pittsburgh: A fan fell from the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park and landed on the field during the seventh inning of the Pirates-Cubs game. He was taken off on a stretcher and is in critical condition. ⚽️ Barça 3, Inter 3: Barcelona and Inter Milan traded stunning goals in a memorable first leg of their Champions League semifinal. The second leg is next week in Italy. 🏀 Most Improved: Hawks guard Dyson Daniels, who led the league in steals, was named the NBA's Most Improved Player over Pistons guard Cade Cunningham and Clippers center Ivica Zubac. 🏈 Prank call saga: The NFL came down hard on the Falcons after defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich's son prank called Shedeur Sanders during last weekend's draft, fining the team $250,000 and fining Ulbrich $100,000. The Lakers' season came to a disappointing end on Wednesday night in Los Angeles, where Rudy Gobert (27 points, 24 rebounds) and the Timberwolves finished them off in five games. Franchise firsts: This is the first time the Lakers have ever lost a first-round series as a No. 3 seed or higher. This is the first time the Timberwolves have ever won playoff series in back-to-back years. Here's a startling fact: Los Angeles was outscored by its opponents this season when LeBron James and Luka Dončić shared the floor (+24 in the regular season, -29 against Minnesota). "The Lakers just couldn't make Luka and LeBron work in Year 1," writes Yahoo Sports' Tom Haberstroh, who has five trade ideas the team should consider. Postgame sound: "Make that next step now. Come on," James told Anthony Edwards after an encouraging embrace at mid-court. That next step, should it happen, will come against either the Rockets or the Warriors. Win or go home: The Lakers were one of four teams facing elimination on Wednesday. Only one survived the night. Rockets 131, Warriors 116: Steve Kerr waved the white flag in the third quarter, pulling his starters and resting them ahead of Game 6 tomorrow night in San Francisco. (Warriors lead 3-2) Capitals 4, Canadiens 1: Washington won its 11th postseason series of the Ovechkin era to set up a date with the Hurricanes in Round 2. (Capitals win 4-1) Panthers 6, Lightning 3: The reigning champions went 3-0 on the road to win the Battle of Florida and reach the second round of the playoffs for the fourth straight year. (Panthers win 4-1) Plus: The Jets beat the Blues, 5-3, in the only non-elimination game of the evening. Winnipeg has the momentum and a 3-2 lead as the series heads back to St. Louis. The Dodgers and Marlins, who played this week in Los Angeles, have a payroll gap of $414.6 million, the largest ever between opposing MLB teams. Consider this: The average annual value of Shohei Ohtani's contract ($70 million) is more than Miami's entire payroll this season ($67.9 million). Or this: The Dodgers have 13 players making at least $10 million in 2025, while the Marlins have one. Zoom out: While the gap between the Dodgers and Marlins is historic, the reigning champs are far outspending most other teams, too. They're on the hook for a record $482.5 million in 2025, calculated by adding their payroll ($331.7 million) and estimated luxury tax bill* ($150.8 million). That tax bill alone is larger than the total payroll of half of MLB teams. Parting shot: When "Moneyball" was written in 2003, A's GM Billy Beane lamented the insurmountable spending gap between his ballclub and the Yankees, which at the time was $85 million. 22 years later, that gap between the top and bottom of the league has become a chasm. *Luxury tax, explained: Teams who fall above a predetermined payroll threshold ($241 million this year) are subject to the Competitive Balance Tax on every dollar they go over. The Dodgers are one of seven teams estimated to exceed that threshold this year (official calculations come at the end of the season), alongside the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Blue Jays, Padres and Red Sox. On Wednesday night, across three continents, two of soccer's great icons slipped — and their heir announced himself to the world. Cristiano Ronaldo went first, slumping out of the AFC Champions League semifinal in Saudi Arabia. Lionel Messi followed, losing in the Champions Cup semifinal in South Florida. Meanwhile in Barcelona, their 17-year-old successor dazzled in the Champions League they've departed. His name is Lamine Yamal. He still wears braces. And he might already be the best soccer player in the world. From Yahoo Sports' Henry Bushnell: In his 100th game for Barcelona, Yamal scored his 22nd goal to go with 33 assists, and the Messi comparisons accelerated into overdrive. At Yamal's age, Messi had scored just once for Barcelona; Ronaldo had scored five times for Sporting Clube de Portugal. He is doing things that nobody his age has ever done. Yamal regularly evokes the feeling that Messi did all those years ago; the sense that we are watching something we'll remember for the rest of our lives. And on Wednesday, more so than ever before, that something felt like a changing of the guard. What they're saying: "He is a phenomenon born every 50 years," Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi said of Yamal after Wednesday's semifinal match. "He is a player I had not seen live before and we had to double up on him. He really impressed me today." Consciously or not, Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson are following the example Deion Sanders laid down in 2023 when he took over at Colorado: Stand tall in the center of the chaos you create, and let the noise swirl all around you. From Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee: If you were scripting a Lifetime movie, you couldn't cast it any better: the 24-year-old former cheerleader and the crusty champion football coach, the oddest of odd couples making a go of it together in a college town. Bill Belichick is the most fascinating what-if of the college football offseason, and his relationship with Jordon Hudson is a strangely compelling element — in large part because Hudson is theatrically protective of Belichick. She shut down a CBS interviewer's attempt to delve into their story during an interview about Belichick's book. She's tried to put PR distance between Belichick and his defensive coordinator … who happens to be his son, Steve. She's asked to be included on all work-related emails. None of this is wrong or even improper, but — despite what Hudson wants to believe — it's all newsworthy, given North Carolina's all-in gamble that Belichick can return (bring?) Tar Heel football to relevance. Maybe this is giving North Carolina officials and boosters pause, maybe it's not. Maybe this will all be worth the publicity headaches, maybe it won't. This much is certain: Belichick and Hudson are running the America-in-2025 publicity playbook the way Tom Brady used to run the Patriots' offense. 🚨 The latest: How Hudson amassed an $8 million real estate portfolio within months of meeting Belichick (NY Post) If you have no inherent rooting interest in tonight's NBA and NHL playoff games, then you might as well pull for as many Game 7s as possible, right? 🏀 NBA: New York (3-2) at Detroit (7:30pm ET, TNT); Denver (3-2) at Los Angeles (10pm, TNT) … Go Pistons and Clippers! 🏒 NHL: Toronto (3-2) at Ottawa (7pm, TBS); Vegas (3-2) at Minnesota (7:30pm, ESPN); Dallas (3-2) at Colorado (9pm, TBS); LA (2-3) at Edmonton (10pm, ESPN) … Go Senators, Wild, Avalanche and Kings!

Afternoon Briefing: Advocates press funding for college test prep support program
Good afternoon, Chicago. Supporters of a state program providing free test preparation to students at public universities and some community colleges said the effort has saved students over $8 million in just two months, but needs $10 million in state funding to remain in operation. Illinois launched the program in late February, becoming the first state to offer free comprehensive test preparation for college students and already serving more than 200,000 students statewide. The program, a collaboration between the Illinois Student Assistance Commission and the educational service company Kaplan, allows students free access to more than 40 prep courses including graduate-level admissions exams such as the LSAT for law school, as well as courses in data analytics, cybersecurity and real estate.

The man who fell over a railing at PNC Park is in critical condition. Police say it was an accident
A man who fell from the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park during Wednesday night's game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs remained in critical condition on Thursday morning. Pittsburgh Public Safety, which includes Pittsburgh Police and EMS, posted on X Thursday that the 'incident is being treated as accidental in nature.' The unidentified man fell onto the warning track in right field just as Pirates star Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double in the seventh inning to put Pittsburgh ahead 4-3. Players began waving frantically for medical personnel and pointing to the man. The fan was tended to for approximately five minutes by members of both the Pirates and Cubs training staffs as well as PNC personnel, before being removed from the field on a cart. He was taken to the trauma center at Allegheny General Hospital, where he remained on Thursday. Pittsburgh owner Bob Nutting said the club was 'deeply saddened' and 'truly heartbroken' over what he called a 'terrible accident.' 'In times like these, we must come together, support one another, and keep him and his loved ones in our prayers,' Nutting said in a statement. 'We also want to thank and appreciate the efforts of the first responders who rushed to his attention and provided him with compassionate care." The railing that runs along the Clemente Wall in right field is three feet (36 inches) in height, which exceeds the building code requirements of 26 inches, according to Pirates vice president of communications Brian Warecki. Fans were sitting in the front row above the Clemente Wall on Thursday ahead of the series finale between the two teams. McCutchen, a five-time All-Star and franchise icon, said Thursday that the team was 'devastated," adding that they prayed together after the game. Asked to describe his viewpoint of the sequence, McCutchen declined, saying he is trying not to think about it and is more focused on the man's health. 'We're just hoping for the best for him,' he said. 'I hope he pulls through because he's the reason why we are here. He's the reason why we play the game. People that show their support so we can do something we love, partly because of him and because of fans. So, I just pray that he's all right.' Pirates manager Derek Shelton and Cubs manager Craig Counsell both alerted the umpire crew of the situation immediately after the play. 'Even though it's 350 feet away or whatever it is, I mean the fact of how it went down and then laying motionless while the play is going on, I mean Craig saw it, I saw it. We both got out there,' Shelton said. 'I think the umpires saw it because of the way it kicked. It's extremely unfortunate. That's an understatement.' Players from both teams could be seen praying and McCutchen held a cross that hung from his neck while the fan was taken off the field. The game was paused for several minutes while the man received medical attention but there was no official stoppage in play. Police said any medical update on the fan will be provided by medical personnel in conjunction with the man's family. Fans have died from steep falls at baseball stadiums in the past. In 2015, Atlanta Braves season ticket holder Gregory K. Murrey flipped over guard rails from the upper deck at Turner Field. That was four years after Shannon Stone, a firefighter attending a game with his 6-year-old son, fell about 20 feet after reaching out for a foul ball tossed into the stands at the Texas Rangers' former stadium. Both incidents prompted scrutiny over the height of guard rails at stadiums. The Rangers raised theirs, while the Braves settled a lawsuit with Murrey's family. A spectator at a 2022 NFL game at Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium died following a fall on an escalator. ___

What is the Clemente Wall? Fan falls from right field wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh
What is the Clemente Wall? Fan falls from right field wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh A man attending Wednesday night's game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs is in critical condition after he fell from the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park, stunning fans in attendance and players on the field The incident happened in the seventh inning after outfielder Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double to put the Pirates ahead. Video from the game showed Pirate players running the bases after the hit, and the man falling from his seat onto the playing field. The Pirates said the man was transported to Allegheny General Hospital after medical personnel attended to him. What is the Clemente Wall? The outfield wall, which features out-of-town scores from other games, is located behind right field at PNC Park, which opened in 2001, and is named in honor of Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, rising 21 feet. The 21 feet signifies Clemente's uniform number. The wall then drops down to only six feet, where the left field bleachers are. Clemente, who won four batting crowns, 12 Gold Gloves, and the 1966 National League Most Valuable Player award, played with the Pirates from 1955 to 1972. He was killed on Dec. 31, 1972, when a plane he was on carrying supplies to Nicaragua after a devastating earthquake crashed. Clemente was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973. The Pirates added a logo on the right field wall in honor of Clemente in 2022, with his name and the number 21. But earlier this year, it became a source of controversy when fans noticed the logo was replaced with an advertisement for an alcoholic beverage named Surfside. The team quickly announced, after hearing from upset fans and Clemente's son, Roberto Clemente Jr., that it would add the No. 21 logo back to the Clemente Wall, with team president Travis Williams saying in a statement that the Pirates didn't intend to disrespect the legacy of Clemente by adding the advertisement.
