The only way Danny Ainge could acquire the New Orleans Pelicans superstar before then is if Kyrie Irving is off the roster. So, let’s make a deal — because it’s time for a break from New England Patriots news, ya know? Longtime NBA reporter Chris Sheridan, who currently writes for Get More Sports, has been at the forefront on the Davis rumor mill. Sheridan is on the record as saying the Celtics are on Davis’ list of teams he’d accept a trade to. And in a recently published piece, Sheridan proposed a blockbuster deal what would see Davis

Pelicans’ Anthony Davis Responds To Ovation From Celtics Fans At TD Garden
BOSTON — It’s a tradition as old as time: Boston Celtics fans giving a rowdy ovation to a player they’d like to see in green. Whenever a player that has been linked to Boston appears at TD Garden as a visitor, it’s not uncommon for Celtics fans to give them a particularly loud response during player introductions. It worked for Gordon Hayward (much to Jae Crowder’s chagrin), and fans in attendance Monday night figured they’d try their hand at Anthony Davis. Prior to the C’s 113-100 win over the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night, fans at The Garden gave Davis a decent ovation. Davis has been linked to the Celtics for som... NESN.com
Scary Kris Bryant Hit-By-Pitch Draws Ire Of Chili Davis, Cubs Coaches
Sunday’s Chicago Cubs-Colorado Rockies game got contentious in a hurry. On just the eighth pitch of his outing at Coors Field, Rockies starter German Marquez drilled Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant in the head with a 96 mph fastball. Bryant was visibly shaken after the frightening incident, which obviously left everyone in the ballpark concerned. Concern wasn’t the only emotion of the moment, though. Cubs hitting coach Chili Davis and assistant hitting coach Andy Haines both were seen angrily yelling at the umpires, as they believed Marquez may have been hit intentionally.

NBA Rumors: Pelicans Trading Anthony Davis Is A ‘Pipe Dream,’ Exec Says
Do you believe in miracles? Well, that’s what it might take to pry Anthony Davis away from the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans trading Davis before his contract expires in 2021 is “nothing more than a fantasy,” an NBA executive recently told The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor. That’s disheartening news for teams like the Boston Celtics, who reportedly have tried to trade for the All-Star big man in the past. But that same executive believes it’s time for Boston to move on from the Davis “pipe dream.” “Even if AD, who can opt out of his current contract in 2020, was eventually made available, by that point, Boston may not even ...

Novak Djokovic's participation in the opening rubber of the Davis Cup semifinal against Argentina on Friday has been thrown into doubt as the Serbian star arrives home just days after lifting the US Open title. The world No 1 was drawn on Thursday to take on 74th-ranked David Nalbandian in the opening match here. But the 24-year-old will arrive in Belgrade on Thursday just three days after beating Spaniard Rafael Nadal in the US Open final. "Novak arrives today and we'll see at what point he
Nadal prepared to step aside for Davis Cup semi
Rafa Nadal is ready to make way for a teammate for this week's Davis Cup semifinal against France if captain Albert Costa feels the world No 2 is not properly prepared. Nadal lost a gruelling US Open final to No 1 Novak Djokovic on Monday before flying straight back to Spain to join teammates David Ferrer, Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez for the September 16-18 world group clash on clay in Cordoba. "Here we are a team and, what's more, I would not play if the
