Wembanyama escapes suspension after playoff ejection
The NBA concluded Victor Wembanyama will not be suspended or fined after a Flagrant 2 elbow to Naz Reid and a subsequent ejection in the playoff game. Postseason suspensions are based on a points system, and Wembanyama isn’t near the threshold, so no further discipline was issued. Despite the ejection, Minnesota evened the series with a 114-109 win in Game 4, setting up Game 5 in San Antonio for Tuesday.
Valdez Suspended Six Games for Intentional Plunk; Hinch Receives One-Game Suspension
MLB issued a six-game suspension and an undisclosed fine to Framber Valdez for intentionally throwing at Trevor Story, with Tigers manager A.J. Hinch also suspended for one game and fined undisclosed. Both begin serving their penalties tonight, subject to possible appeals.
Pirates Pitcher Devenski Hit With Three-Game Ban Over Sal Stewart Incident
MLB suspended Pirates right-hander Chris Devenski for three games and fined him after the league deemed he intentionally threw at Reds infielder Sal Stewart in Saturday’s game; Pirates manager Don Kelly received a one-game ban. The suspension goes into effect tonight unless Devenski appeals, in which case he would be eligible to pitch during the process. Devenski, who had just joined the Pirates from Triple-A Indianapolis, has appeared in 2 2/3 MLB innings with two runs allowed on five hits and three strikeouts. If he doesn’t appeal, Pittsburgh will be short a pitcher for three games, though the bullpen was fresh after an off day.

Epic 9 Sets Sights on XC's Lightest Full-Suspension Frame
Specialized says the Epic 9 is the lightest full-suspension XC race frame at about 1,589g for a medium, with a 110g lighter front triangle and no internal frame storage. It features an 11% reduction in suspension friction thanks to a new top-tube mounted link driving the shock, 120mm travel, and a three-position damper, while geometry remains largely unchanged from the Epic 8. The bike aims for peak efficiency across kinematics, damping and chassis, with top builds around 8.66kg claimed; pricing isn’t disclosed and there’s no XS size option.
No Exit: NATO can’t suspend its members
An Euronews explainer clarifies that NATO cannot suspend or expel a member because the alliance’s founding treaty contains no provision for removal. Article 5, the cornerstone of the pact, obliges members to defend one another only in response to external attacks on territory in Europe, North America, Turkey and related areas, and it has been invoked only after 9/11. While the US has pressed allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, NATO as a defensive alliance is not obligated to intervene in actions by members outside its territory, and a leaked Pentagon email suggesting suspending Spain is legally impossible. As of 2024 NATO has 32 members, and the Iran conflict has indirectly affected alliances, with more than 40 countries pledging assets to reopen Hormuz.

Seven-game suspensions for Soler and López after MLB brawl
MLB suspended Angels slugger Jorge Soler and Braves pitcher Reynaldo López for seven games after a dugout-clearing brawl that followed Soler's homer and a high-and-inside pitch from López; both players are appealing and undisclosed fines were announced, with suspensions on hold pending appeals.
Lakers Hit by One-Game Ban, Yet Might Benefit More Than Hurt
Luka Doncic will miss Monday’s game against the Wizards after receiving his 16th technical foul, a one-game suspension the piece argues is the best possible timing for the Lakers as Washington’s tanking posture and poor current form give LA a favorable chance to win. The Lakers still push for a top-three seed with tougher tests ahead (Cavaliers, Thunder, Mavericks), and Austin Reaves and LeBron James are expected to carry more of the load in Doncic’s absence. The league won’t rescind the technical, and Doncic should return soon, but this break could help LA fine-tune for a stretch run that could define their playoff positioning.
Doncic Set to Sit as 16th Technical Foul Triggers Suspension vs Pistons
Luka Dončić is set to miss the Lakers’ road game vs Detroit after earning his 16th technical foul of the season in Saturday’s win at Orlando; LA has appealed to rescind the foul, arguing officials should have warned earlier. Dončić, who remains one of the NBA's top players with about 33.4 points, 8.4 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game, helped LA extend a nine-game win streak. If the 16th T stands, he would begin a suspension pattern of one game per two techs for the rest of the season, though the Lakers still have 11 regular-season games remaining.
Profar’s 2026 PED suspension stands; MLBPA appeal fails and Braves reassess payroll
Jurickson Profar has been suspended for the entire 2026 regular season and postseason after failing a PED test; the MLBPA's appeal did not overturn the ruling. The Braves now have about $18 million to spend and Profar will not play in 2026, with his future with the team uncertain.
Profar’s 162-Game PED Suspension Upheld, Braves Face 2026 Without Him
Jurickson Profar’s appeal of his 162-game suspension for a second PED positive was denied, meaning he’ll miss the entire 2026 season and be ineligible for postseason if Atlanta makes it. He won’t receive his $15 million salary, saving the Braves about $18 million in payroll and luxury taxes (roughly $15M salary plus $3M tax). The Braves have little urgency to replace him immediately, though they could explore free-agent pitchers like Giolito or Anderson as they reassess their roster. Profar remains under contract through 2027, leaving a future decision for next year, and another positive test would bring a lifetime ban after three PED suspensions.
NASCAR suspends Daniel Dye over homophobic remarks about Malukas
