The 49ers stay unbeaten at 6‑0 after a Week 6 win over Washington, but linebacker Fred Warner draws a hefty double fine from the NFL – $47,762 for hitting a defenseless player and $17,911 for a helmet‑first blow on tight end Chig Okonkwo.

Miami, defending its 2025 MLS Cup title, also misses Tomas Allende, Fritzio Caicedo, Maximiliano Falco and Mateo Silvetti due to injuries and suspensions. The lineup features Luis Suárez, Casemiro and a solid backline, and a win would close the gap on Eastern Conference leaders Nashville SC, while the Red Bulls eye a postseason boost.
NY Yankees were reportedly among teams who had scouts attend Kaima Taira
The New York Yankees have sent scouts to Japan to evaluate right‑hander Kaima Taira, a 2026 breakout star for the Saitama Seibu Lions. Taira posted a 1.36 ERA over 146 innings, a 12–5 record and a 0.188 opponent batting average, while capping his season with a 98.8 mph fastball. After a 31‑save closer role in 2025, he now boasts an elite ground‑ball profile and a minuscule 0.25 HR/9 innings. The Yankees, amid offseason planning and roster questions surrounding Jazz Chisholm Jr., see Taira as a potential middle‑rotation starter or high‑leverage bullpen arm for the 2027 season.
Red Wings’ price request is complicating Dylan Larkin trade
Detroit’s quest for a Dylan Larkin trade stalls as the Red Wings demand a blockbuster return. Despite three‑to‑four “fair” offers from rival clubs, interim GM Shawn Horcoff insists on an elite, top‑six player—like Minnesota’s Matt Boldy—rather than futures or salary dumps. Larkin, a 30‑year‑old center with an $8.7 M cap hit and a contract through 2031, expanded his trade list to ten U.S. teams, yet few have the cap space or willingness to meet Detroit’s high price. With the trade deadline looming, the market remains frozen until a suitor presents an undeniable home‑run package.
Giannis Antetokounmpo offers self-criticism after Heat’s poor start to the 2026-27 NBA season

Despite the team’s struggles, the Greek Freak drops 71 points in his first two games—a 35‑point debut versus Minnesota and a 36‑point, 12‑rebound double‑double against Detroit—averaging 35.5 points, 9 rebounds and 62.2% shooting. The Heat head to Charlotte on Oct. 24 before hosting Dallas on Oct. 26 and facing Atlanta on Oct. 28.
Are Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving playing today, Oct. 24, for Mavericks vs Spurs in the 2026-27 NBA regular season?
The Dallas Mavericks face the winless San Antonio Spurs tonight, but key playmakers Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving remain in doubt. Flagg is ruled out after an MRI shows a mild left shoulder sprain, while Irving is listed as questionable because of renewed knee soreness. The Spurs also miss frontcourt rookie Jayden Quaintance with a knee issue. Coach Dusty May is expected to rely on backcourt depth, projecting Marcus Sasser at point guard and Max Christie at shooting guard. Both teams enter the game shorthanded, adding intrigue to the early‑season matchup.
Monterrey vs Chivas: How to watch, Live Stream, TV Channel and Time for a Liga MX game on October 24, 2026

The 8:00 PM ET (5:00 PM PT) kickoff is broadcast in the U.S. on TUDN USA and Univision, with streaming via TUDN.com, Univision NOW, the TUDN app and ViX (subscriptions required). Both clubs chase Liguilla spots: Chivas sit second with 23 points, while Monterrey hold eighth place with 17 points and the final direct quarter‑final berth.

Red Wings could trade Dylan Larkin to Devils after Connor Hellebuyck joined New Jersey
After acquiring Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg, the New Jersey Devils have added Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin to his expanded trade list, according to insider Jeff Marek. While Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald wants to keep the win‑now momentum, insiders say New Jersey may lack the high‑value assets—top prospects and high‑round picks—needed for Detroit’s steep asking price. Detroit reportedly wants two elite prospects, an NHL‑ready top‑six forward, and premium draft capital, while other clubs like Minnesota, Carolina and Colorado also vie for Larkin. The trade’s feasibility hinges on whether the Devils can muster enough pieces after surrendering Dawson Mercer and a first‑round pick for Hellebuyck.
Red Wings reportedly actively scouting Canadiens in case Dylan Larkin expands list of teams for a trade
The Detroit Red Wings are actively scouting the Montreal Canadiens as a possible trade destination for captain Dylan Larkin, who has given the front office a list of preferred teams. The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun notes Detroit is reviewing Montreal’s recent aggressive trade packages, like those for Matthew Knies and Kirill Marchenko. Despite the uncertainty, Larkin continues to produce, tallying three points (one goal, two assists) in his first six games of the 2026‑27 season while logging nearly 22 minutes per game. The Wings finish their road trip against Calgary on Oct. 24 before returning home for games against Chicago and St. Louis.
Is LeBron James playing for Sixers vs Bucks today, Oct. 24, in the 2026-27 NBA regular season?
LeBron James misses the Sixers' Oct. 24 home game against the Milwaukee Bucks as the 76ers list him out for sciatic nerve management—a same‑season issue that sidelined him earlier. Philadelphia, 2‑0 this year, also rules out Dominick Barlow and lists forward Dean Wade as questionable, while other backups are out injured. James, who recently hit a career milestone versus the Cavaliers, teams with Tyrese Maxey as the Sixers look to maintain early optimism despite the lineup hits.
NY Giants trade for Jonathan Taylor with Colts faces key obstacle as multiple teams target star RB
The NFL trade market ignites for Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor as the November deadline looms. At 2-4, Indianapolis has racked up 492 yards and seven touchdowns in six games, but interim GM Ed Dodds must decide whether to cash in on Taylor's 2028 contract. The New York Giants, fresh from releasing Najee Harris, emerge as front‑runners, hoping to pair Taylor with Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. to boost J.J. McCarthy under head coach John Harbaugh’s physical scheme. Seattle also surfaces as a dark‑horse, willing to outbid rivals for a game‑changing back. With multiple teams circling, the Giants’ path to East Rutherford remains far from certain.
Colts refuse to discuss possible Jonathan Taylor exit amid trade rumors
The Indianapolis Colts say they are not discussing a trade for star running back Jonathan Taylor despite swirling rumors. After firing GM Chris Ballard amid a 2-4 start, interim GM Ed Dodds is reportedly weighing options and may later seek draft capital by moving Taylor, who signed a two‑year extension in August that hasn't taken effect. The Athletic's Jonathan Jones cites the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings as possible suitors, while other Super Bowl contenders like Seattle and Denver could also be interested. If a rebuild proceeds, the Colts could also flip defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and guard Quenton Nelson for more picks.
NY Giants, John Harbaugh could make important RB change for Week 7 game vs Texans
Head coach John Harbaugh says Tyrone Tracy Jr. earns a bigger role in the Giants’ backfield after Najee Harris is released and Cam Skattebo is benched for ball security. Tracy’s breakout Week 6 performance against the Saints—two touchdowns on eight touches—proved his elite speed, physical running style and pass‑catching ability. With the Giants sitting 3‑2‑1, Harbaugh expects Tracy to complement rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy as a dual‑threat option, joining a three‑man rotation with Skattebo and veteran Devin Singletary for the Week 7 showdown at Houston.
