Wyndham Clark Banned From Oakmont Country Club After Damaging Property
Instead, the professional golfer is trending because of ESPN's Mark Schlabach report that the Oakmont Country Club has now banned Clark from their course. The shutout comes after Clark left his locker damaged after he missed the cut at last month's U.S. Open.
The decision to ban Clark from the premises may not have come easily, as the club reportedly held 'multiple discussions' with the United States Golf Association and the group's board members.
'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board.'

However, Clark isn't entirely out of luck. The ban could still be lifted. But only if he agrees to pay for the damages while also making a 'meaningful contribution' to a hand-picked charity of the Oakmont Country Club's choosing, and seeking counseling and/or anger management therapy.
Clark's frustration was understandable and even a bit expected after he missed the cut by just one stroke. While he later apologized for his behavior, there are clearly still some unpaid dues.

Why Manny Pacquiao came out of retirement to return to boxing after 4 years away
Manny Pacquiao is a legend. He didn't need to come out of retirement to prove that. The eight-division champion and hero of the Philippines has already done plenty. But Pacquiao is back. He's taking on WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Saturday in Las Vegas. Here's why: Why did Manny Pacquiao come out of retirement? Manny Pacquaio offered a simple explanation for his return to ESPN's Andreas Hale: "I'm coming back because boxing is my passion. It's all I think about, and I really like to make history." Pacquiao is trying to break his own record. In 2019, he won the world welterweight title when he beat Keith Thurman. Pacquiao was 40 then, the oldest to ever accomplish that feat. Now at 46 years old, Pacquiao would shatter his own mark and likely leave it out of reach for anyone else. Is this it? "It's hard to say what tomorrow holds," Pacquiao told ESPN. "I always leave it to God, and he gave me the chance to fight again. But if my body feels strong after this fight..." MORE: Ranking Manny Pacquiao's best fights

Lakers plan on waiving Shake Milton in order to sign Marcus Smart
The Los Angeles Lakers are set to sign veteran guard Marcus Smart after he agreed to a buyout of his contract with the Washington Wizards. Smart, who was named the Defensive Player of the Year for the 2022-23 season, will reportedly sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Lakers once he officially clears waivers. Right now, they don't have enough space under the first apron of the NBA's salary cap to sign Smart. But according to Shams Charania of ESPN, they're planning on waiving guard Shake Milton in order to clear some space. "The Lakers plan to waive guard Shake Milton to create the roster spot to sign Smart, sources told ESPN," Charania wrote. "Milton's $3 million contract for next season would have become fully guaranteed Sunday." Milton was thrown into the deal that brought Los Angeles forward Dorian Finney-Smith in late December. He played sporadically afterward and averaged 3.9 points on 43.3% field-goal shooting, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 11.5 minutes a game as a member of the team. Waiving him would open up a good portion of L.A.'s bi-annual exception. In order to open up the full bi-annual exception of $5.1 million, another move, such as waiving guard Jordan Goodwin or a consolidation trade, would need to be made.

Damian Lillard's Portland Return Leaves Heat in the Dust
Damian Lillard's Portland Return Leaves Heat in the Dust originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a stunning turn of events, NBA superstar Damian Lillard is set to reclaim his throne in Portland, leaving Miami Heat fans reeling and the basketball world buzzing. The news, shared via an X post by SportsCenter, features an electrifying ESPN graphic of Lillard in his iconic Trail Blazers jersey, confirming the long-speculated return. Surrounded by roses and a vintage clock symbolizing his enduring legacy, the image captures the emotional homecoming of a player who spent 11 transformative seasons with the franchise. Lillard's journey took him to Milwaukee after a blockbuster trade in 2023, where he sought a championship. However, a recent Achilles injury and the Bucks' decision to waive him have paved the way for this sentimental reunion. The move snubs Miami, where Lillard was once rumored to land, as Portland's passionate fanbase and his deep-rooted connection to the city trumped any Heat overtures. The graphic, rich with Lillard's career highlights and the Blazers' storied past, underscores a narrative of loyalty over glory. Social media reactions are ablaze, with fans hailing it as a 'rom-com' comeback and others debating his championship prospects. At 35, post-surgery, Lillard may not be the MVP contender he once was, but his return signals a focus on legacy and love for Portland. The Bucks will still pay his $113 million contract, allowing the Blazers a low-risk opportunity to integrate him with a young roster. As the clock ticks toward the 2025-26 season, Lillard's Portland revival promises nostalgia and potential. For now, the Heat's dreams of 'Dame Time' fade, while the Rose City prepares to welcome its prodigal son with open arms. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 18, 2025, where it first appeared.
