Ball averaged 16.3 points, 9.7 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game, including four games with 10-plus assists.

Red Sox’s Mookie Betts Named A.L. All-Star Starter In Place Of Mike Trout
Share this: Mookie Betts had a fantastic day Sunday, and he got some additional good news Monday.

Jayson Tatum’s Powerful One-Handed Dunk Should Excite Celtics Fans

The No. 3 pick by the Celtics in the 2017 NBA Draft made his summer league debut in Utah on Monday night, and he threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk in the second quarter.

Red Sox Notes: Hector Velazquez Continues To Show Potential For Boston
Share this: It didn’t appear that Hector Velazquez was ready for the big leagues after his first career start against the Oakland Athletics on May 18, but the right-hander is doing his best to change that opinion.

With the Boston Red Sox’s bullpen needing a breather, Velazquez threw 5 1/3 quality innings. The righty surrendered two runs on five hits
