Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash said Thursday that veteran forward Jeff Green has been diagnosed with a strained plantar fascia, and will be reevaluated in 10 days. The injury will at least keep Green out through the rest of the first-round series, with Game 7 scheduled for June 5 if necessary.

Green suffered the injury in Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics and played just 12 minutes in Game 2, with six points and one steal in the Nets’ 130-108 win. The 34-year-old has appeared in 68 games while making 38 starts, averaged 11.0 points and 3.9 rebounds per game during the regular season, while his 41.2 three-point percentage was the best of his career.

NY Mets’ pitcher Noah Syndergaard to miss 6 weeks because of elbow inflammation

NY Mets manager Luis Rojas says that right-hander Noah Syndergaard will not throw for six weeks after an MRI revealed right elbow inflammation. Syndergaard, who underwent Tommy John surgery last year, was just a few weeks away from rejoining the Mets before he left his second rehab start with Class A St. Lucie after just one inning. Said Rojas: “It’s tough but all in all it’s good to hear there’s no structural damage in the UCL. Let’s see this work with the six weeks without throwing. We pray that he can pitch for us this year.”

Additional delays in Syndergaard’s rehab will likely cost a second straight season and perhaps bring an end to his time in New York. The 28-year-old is eligible for free agency after the season. Rojas said he hasn’t “really thought about” the possibility of Syndergaard not pitching again for the Mets, adding, “Right now, just being in the middle of the season, I’m looking forward to having everyone healthy at some point.”

The Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. announced Thursday that it will stage “Once Upon a One More Time,” featuring the music of Britney Spears, including “Oops!… I Did It Again,” “Lucky,” “Stronger” and “Toxic.” The musical, directed and choreographed by Keone and Mari Madrid, will have an original story written by Jon Hartmere. Once Upon A One More Time centers around the tale of a women’s book club made up of classic Disney princesses such as Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and more who all experience a feminist awakening after a fairy godmother shows up with a couple copies of Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique.

Spears is not directly involved in the production, but gave it her stamp of approval back in 2019 and attended one of its early rehearsals. Said Spears at the time: “I’m so excited to have a musical with my songs – especially one that takes place in such a magical world filled with characters that I grew up on, who I love and adore.”

Once Upon a One More Time begins performances at Sidney Harman Hall on Nov. 29. The pre-Broadway world premiere of the show begins April 14 for a 5-week run in Chicago.

Angels’ Mickey Callaway fired and banned from MLB until at least end of 2022 season after sexual misconduct allegations

Post author By Staff

In a statement released Wednesday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said that Los Angeles Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway was placed on MLB’s ineligible list through the end of the 2022 season after the league’s investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct, concluding during their investigation that Calloway “violated MLB’s policies and that placement on the ineligible list is warranted.” MLB said Callaway’s placement on the ineligible list is immediate, and he will be eligible to apply for potential reinstatement at the end of the 2022 campaign. The Angels issued a follow-up statement announcing the firing of Callaway as pitching coach, adding: “We appreciate Major League Baseball’s diligent investigation and support their decision.”

Callaway said in a press release: “My family and I fully support MLB’s strong stance against harassment and discrimination and are grateful to the Commissioner and his office for their thorough investigation. I apologize to the women who shared with investigators any interaction that made them feel uncomfortable. To be clear, I never intended to make anyone feel this way and didn’t understand that these interactions might do that or violate MLB policies. However, those are my own blind spots, and I take responsibility for the consequences. In my 25 years in professional baseball I have never taken for granted the privilege of being even a small part of this great game of ours. To say I regret my past poor choices would be an understatement. I remain hopeful that I can return to baseball when eligible at the conclusion of next season, but for now, I plan to work on my own shortcomings and repairing any damage I have caused with my colleagues and, particularly, my family.”

Five anonymous women, all of whom work in sports media, accused Callaway of inappropriate behavior earlier this year. According to the women. The alleged behavior spanned nearly five years and his employment with three organizations, including his time as the Cleveland Indians’ pitching coach and manager of the New York Mets. The Angels, who hired Callaway as the team’s pitching coach after the 2019 season, suspended Callaway in February.
