Bradley Beal, 3-time All-Star, agrees to buyout with the Phoenix Suns, AP source says
PHOENIX (AP) — Three-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a buyout on the two years remaining on his contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke to the AP about Beal's buyout on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been officially announced. The move paves the way for Beal to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN reported. Beal is expected to give back $13.9 million of the $110 million he's owed from the Suns, which allows Phoenix more flexibility as it tries to rebuild its roster. The 32-year-old Beal would join a veteran Clippers roster that includes James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Beal averaged 17.6 points over two disappointing, injury-filled seasons with the Suns.

But while most baseball fans were left in awe, many were quick to point out that some creative editing had been done to the famous TV call made by legendary announcer Vin Scully. During the Dodgers announcer's iconic call, Scully references the fact that Aaron, a Black man, is receiving a standing ovation while playing in the Deep South. 'What a marvellous moment for baseball, what a marvellous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia, what a marvellous moment for the country and the world,' Scully said during the call from 1974. 'A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. And it is a great moment for all of us and particularly for Henry Aaron.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. However, MLB and the Braves apparently decided against using the full call, ending the audio before Scully says, 'A Black man is getting a standing ovation.' While the majority of fans commenting on social media about the tribute, some were quick to point out the omission. 'Stunning tribute. Though, was it MLB or foxsports who cut the MOST IMPORTANT LINE in Vin Scully's call??' one user asked on X. 'After 'What a marvellous moment for…' 'A BLACK MAN IS GETTING A STANDING OVATION IN THE DEEP SOUTH FOR BREAKING A RECORD OF AN ALL-TIME BASEBALL IDOL.' Stunning tribute.

'When you omit 'A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol,' you completely alter what Scully was describing as 'marvellous.' baseball writer Craig Calcaterra posted on social media site BlueSky. 'Scully was NOT just broadly marvelling. He was marvelling at a very specific, very important thing.' 'Man they sure took care to cut Vin Scully's call veeeery carefully didn't they,' one user commented on Reddit. 'This is like showing (the movie) 42 but only the scenes where (Jackie Robinson) is playing ball on mute,' another replied. Read More Celebrity Crime Entertainment Canada World

Angel Reese misses Sky's final game before All-Star break with leg injury
CHICAGO (AP) — Angel Reese didn't play Wednesday in the Chicago Sky's final game before the All-Star break because of a leg injury. The All-Star forward sat on the bench as the Sky hosted the Atlanta Dream. She is set to make her second All-Star Game appearance this weekend in Indianapolis. Fellow second-year All-Star Caitlin Clark's availability for the game in her home arena could be in jeopardy as well after she sustained a groin injury Tuesday night in a victory over the Connecticut Sun in Boston. Reese had 22 points and 10 rebounds Monday for her ninth straight double-double in Chicago's 91-78 loss to Minnesota. She leads the WNBA with 12.6 rebounds per game. ___ AP WNBA:
