Despite Utah’s 11th straight loss, rookie Darryn Peterson shines with a career‑high 28 points, seven rebounds and two steals in the 125‑118 defeat to the Houston Rockets on Nov. 14, 2026. The 19‑year‑old became the first Jazz rookie since Donovan Mitchell (2017‑18) to log five consecutive 20‑point games, proving his No. 2 overall draft pick value even as the team battles injuries to Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic.

Oklahoma furious over Greg Sankey strong-arming Ole Miss game move after nationwide ground stop
Oklahoma’s football program lashes out at SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey after the league forces the Sooners‑Ole Miss game onto Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. A nationwide FAA ground stop grounded flights on Friday, preventing Ole Miss from departing Oxford and sparking a schedule scramble. Oklahoma athletic director Roger Denny says the decision—made despite the Sooners’ objections—threatens a forfeit if the game isn’t played at the new time and inconveniences fans who planned for Saturday. The SEC cites the air‑travel shutdown as the only reason the original slot was impossible.
Lakers’ JJ Redick snitches on Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves’ texting obsession
Lakers coach JJ Redick jokes about the constant texting between guards Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, revealing they exchange about 47 messages daily. The banter comes after both players limped off the bench during the Lakers' 123‑112 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday—Reaves left with a left‑heel bruise after a dunk attempt, finishing with 18 points, while Doncic suffered a right‑ankle knock in the fourth quarter. Redick says Doncic is expected to suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, and Reaves remains day‑to‑day. The story highlights the duo’s off‑court camaraderie and the team’s early‑season chemistry.
Adam Schefter drops bombshell Lamar Jackson injury twist for Ravens
Adam Schefter reveals that Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson already underwent thumb surgery after injuring it on the opening snap of the 36‑10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 1. Coach Jesse Minter says such surgeries typically require 6‑10 weeks to heal, meaning Jackson could return later this season if recovery is swift. The Ravens have slumped to 1‑4 without him, and backup Tyler Huntley is now out for the year. New starter Jacoby Brissett will debut in Week 10 against the winless Chargers, leaving Jackson’s comeback hinges on the team’s playoff hopes.
Clippers center Brook Lopez reacts to joining exclusive old-man list that also includes Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Stephen Curry
At 38, Clippers center Brook Lopez joins a rare NBA club that includes Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Stephen Curry after posting 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists in a 113‑112 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. His line—11‑of‑21 shooting, three 3‑pointers, and over 30 minutes—makes him only the ninth player 38+ to hit at least 10 field goals, three threes and 30 minutes in a game, and the first center to do so. Lopez’s scoring burst helped the Clippers erase a six‑point deficit in the final minutes, sealing a crucial victory against the defending champions.

Colorado pulls off a stunning 42-32 upset of No. 14 Houston, giving Deion Sanders' fourth‑year Buffaloes their fourth win of the season and keeping bowl hopes alive. After the game, Sanders’ son, Deion Jr., responded to critics with a terse "I guess we’ll never know" tweet, silencing doubters. Sanders praised his team's resilience, noting they must win out against Cincinnati and UCF to reach six victories and bowl eligibility. The victory doubles Colorado’s conference win total from last year and eases pressure on a coach long‑rumored to be on the hot seat.
NBA rumors: Dejounte Murray trying to will Pelicans-Suns trade for Jalen Green into existence
Dejounte Murray signals he wants out of New Orleans after the Pelicans' 142-111 loss to Memphis, deleting a provocative tweet following their defeat by Brooklyn. Sources say Murray, who averages 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals, is interested in a trade to Phoenix, where his guard Jalen Green posts 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists this season. While neither team confirms talks, ClutchPoints and The Athletic note the Pelicans could target Green, offering Murray as a swap. Both players could benefit from a new setting as the Pelicans slip to 4-9.

The Warriors suffer a historic 123-85 defeat to the Spurs—without Stephen Curry—and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg admits he’s "f****d up mentally" after a 1-for-13 shooting night that left him with just three points and seven rebounds. Lendeborg described the loss as a mental scar, blaming missed floaters and the intimidating presence of Victor Wembanyama. Coach Steve Kerr remains optimistic, saying the focus now is on Lendeborg’s bounce‑back and developing a more aggressive mindset. The article previews the Warriors’ next matchup against the Pelicans as a test of the rookie’s resilience.
Brian Kelly becomes hot candidate after Maryland interview
Maryland is eyeing former Notre Dame and LSU coach Brian Kelly as its next head football coach after firing Mike Locksley following a 2-5 start and three Big Ten losses. Kelly, who finished 34-14 at LSU before being dismissed in 2025 and spent 2026 as a CBS analyst, boasts a 92-39 record at Notre Dame and a 2013 BCS title game appearance. He joins a shortlist that includes Chip Kelly and Indiana coordinators Bryant Haines and Mike Shanahan. If hired, Kelly would replace Locksley, who posted 4-8 seasons in 2024 and 2025 after earlier 8-5 campaigns.
Spurs’ 18-0 run to start NBA Cup game vs. Warriors makes brutal Steve Kerr history
The Warriors, shorthanded without Stephen Curry, fall victim to a historic 18‑0 Spurs opening stretch, the worst start of Steve Kerr’s tenure. San Antonio explodes for 38 points in the first quarter, with Stephon Castle posting a season‑high 32 points, six assists and five rebounds in just 25 minutes. Victor Wembanyama helps the Spurs build a 30‑point halftime lead as Golden State shoots a miserable 25% in the first half and goes 0‑11 before Gui Santos finally ends the drought. The loss drops Golden State to 1‑1 in NBA Cup group play, while the Spurs extend their win streak to 11 and lead West Group C.
Clippers end brutal losing streak vs. Thunder with stunning late surge as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander falls short
Darius Garland’s three‑point play with 50.4 seconds left lifts the Los Angeles Clippers to a 122‑113 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at the NBA Cup on Nov. 14, 2026. The Clippers, now 3‑8, snap a nine‑game losing streak to OKC and a brutal overall slump, while the Thunder fall to 8‑5 after Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander’s 40‑point effort falls short on his final shot. Garland finishes with 24 points, seven assists; Brook Lopez adds 26 points. A 7‑0 run in the fourth, highlighted by Gradey Dick’s 10 points, secures the comeback. Coach Ty Lue praises the resilience as the Clippers prepare for Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Deion Sanders demands even more from Colorado after shocking Houston
Coach Deion "Prime Time" Sanders leads Colorado to its biggest win of the season, upsetting No. 14 Houston 42-32 on Nov. 14 at Folsom Field. The Buffaloes, now 4-6 (2-5 Big 12), rallied from an early deficit with a 53‑yard TD pass from Isaac Wilson to Jojo Williams and strong play across offense, defense and special teams. While Sanders praises the effort, he says the team must still finish strong, needing wins over Cincinnati and UCF to secure bowl eligibility.
Colorado’s Deion Sanders may have just saved his butt by nuking Houston’s CFP chances
Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes pull off a stunning 42-32 upset over No. 14 Houston, effectively ending the Cougars’ College Football Playoff hopes. The win, Colorado's biggest under Sanders and first over a top-15 team since beating No. 3 Oklahoma in 2007, featured a ground explosion of 249 rushing yards and five touchdowns, including three long runs in the second quarter. Senior RB Richard Young rushed for 99 yards and two scores, echoing his previous overtime heroics against Kansas State. The victory may buy Sanders more leeway after a rocky season that included losses to Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and a narrow defeat by No. 2 Utah.

Brooklyn Nets rookie Mikel Brown Jr., the 6th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, launches "Mikel’s Crew," a mentorship program with the El Puente Beacon Leadership Center at M.S. 50. The initiative will start with a basketball clinic during the center’s Thanksgiving Potluck on Nov. 17, featuring Brown and Nets coaches teaching skills and teamwork to 75 middle‑school students, many of Puerto Rican, Dominican and African American heritage. Brown, who averages 12.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists in his first seven games, hopes the program will provide the guidance he valued growing up.
Warriors’ Yaxel Lendeborg runs into harsh reality of being ‘alpha dog’ without Stephen Curry vs. Victor Wembanyama, Spurs
The Warriors are blown out 123-85 by the Spurs in the NBA Cup as Stephen Curry sits out with an oblique injury.

San Antonio dominates early, leading 38-14 after the first quarter, and LJ Cryer tops the Warriors with 20 points. The loss drops Golden State to 8-5, and a flagrant foul on Victor Wembanyama adds tension.
JJ Redick leaves nothing to chance with 21-page ‘audit’ of Lakers
Coach JJ Redick uses a three‑day break before the Lakers’ matchup with the Phoenix Suns to deliver a 21‑page analytics “audit” of the team. He reviews 20‑plus defensive points with staff and aligns offensive and defensive identities—organized, physical, relentless—with the Lakers’ stats. The Lakers sit atop the West with an eighth straight win, leading the league in points (122.2), FG% (50.3%) and steals (11.0), while ranking low on defense (18th in points allowed). With Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton listed as game‑time decisions, the audit underscores Redick’s data‑driven approach entering the Suns game on Nov 14, 2026.
Arizona’s Caleb Holt is fired up after beating Auburn in home state
Freshman guard Caleb Holt lights up his home state, scoring a season‑high 24 points with nine rebounds and five steals as Arizona beats Auburn 80‑69 at Neville Arena. The 18‑year‑old shot 8‑of‑19 and helped the No. 12 Wildcats snap a three‑game losing streak, earning their first SEC road win since 2016. Holt, an Alabama native, says winning in front of his hometown fans means everything and highlights his defensive mindset rooted in his football background. Arizona next faces Connecticut on Wednesday.
Jamal Mashburn thrashes Kentucky after narrow victory over Northern Arizona
Kentucky escapes Northern Arizona 78-77 thanks to Alex Wilkins' three‑pointer with 2.1 seconds left, moving to 3‑1 on the season. Former Wildcats star Jamal Mashburn lashes out on TNT, calling the win "disappointing" and highlighting the team's inconsistency under coach Mark Pope. Mashburn questions Pope's future, saying the buzzer‑beater is not "championship basketball" and that fans still lack confidence. Kentucky’s leading contributors were Milan Momcilovic (14 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists) and Wilkins (14 points, 4 assists). The critique suggests a rocky road ahead for the Wildcats.
Spurs guard Stephon Castle has jokes about dunk contest, 3-point contest duel entry
Spurs guard Stephon Castle jokes to Blake Griffin about entering both the Slam Dunk and 3‑Point Contests at All‑Star Weekend. Though he quips “maybe both,” he quickly clarifies it’s not a real plan. Castle, a 2025 Dunk Contest runner‑up who lost to Mac McClung, has already proven his show‑manship and is further developing his game alongside Victor Wembanyama. Fans can enjoy his athletic flair in regular‑season play, but a dual contest appearance remains off the table—for now.
UCLA HC Bob Chesney leads Bruins to best start of the 21st century with win over Illinois
UCLA quarterback Ty Dieffenbach thrills the Bruins with a 54‑yard opening TD and a 26‑yard fourth‑quarter strike, guiding No. 4 UCLA to a gritty 22‑14 win over Illinois on Nov. 13. Despite a late‑game shoulder injury that sidelines Dieffenbach briefly, backup Madden Iamaleava holds the line while the defense forces a safety and two interceptions, including one by cornerback Scooter Jackson. The victory pushes UCLA to a historic 10‑0 start—the best of the 21st century and matching the program’s single‑season win record—joining the 1998 and 1946 teams. Illinois falls to 6‑4 after Katin Houser’s 176 yards and two TDs.
