The officiating crew was correct in not ruling that Denver's Christian Braun had signaled for a timeout when the Nuggets had none remaining at the end of their 119-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr was furious at the end of the game when it appeared to him that Braun had signaled for a timeout after securing a loose ball with 1.9 seconds left while on the floor.

If Braun had called a timeout with none left, it would have resulted in a technical foul, giving the Warriors a free throw and a possession.

Instead, officials called a jump ball.

The Washington Wizards are mired in another rebuild, but even by the low expectations set for the club this has been a disappointing start to the season. With their 124-114 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, the Wizards finished the month of November without a win at 0-14.

Washington becomes the 16th team in NBA history to go winless for an entire month and has now achieved -- is that the right word in this scenario? -- the feat in consecutive seasons. Last season, during the middle of a franchise-record 16-game losing streak, they went 0-12 in February. 

Though the season has not even reached the quarter-mark, this Wizards team is already entering historically bad territory. 

Trevor Lawrence's 2024 season has likely come to an end. 

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed Lawrence on injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday. This comes after Lawrence was carted off of the field during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans after sustaining a hard hit from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. Lawrence was later diagnosed with a concussion. 

Lawrence took the hit by Al-Shaair while sliding after a 6-yard gain during the second quarter. The Texans linebacker was formally suspended for three games by the NFL for the hit on Lawrence, and his appeal of that ban was denied.

The Baltimore Ravens suspended wide receiver Diontae Johnson one game on Wednesday for conduct detrimental to the team due to the veteran "refusing to enter our game against the Philadelphia Eagles" on Sunday.

Johnson is now set to miss Baltimore's Week 15 game against the New York Giants following the upcoming bye week.

Wednesday's suspension provides an explanation for Johnson's peculiar absence from Baltimore's loss in Philadelphia in which he registered zero snaps.

The 4 Nations Face-Off rosters will be packed with NHL star power and a few surprises.

Full rosters for the league's upcoming event were revealed Wednesday for Team USA, Canada, Sweden and Finland.

Auston Matthews, Charlie McAvoy and last season's Norris Trophy recipient, Quinn Hughes, were among the names previously announced for Team USA. They'll be joined now by a top-tier goaltending trio headed by reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck, defensemen Zach Werenski (currently third in points among NHL blueliners) and Brock Faber (a 2024 Calder Trophy finalist) as well as forwards Jake Guentzel, Kyle Connor and Matt Boldy.

The U.S. team prioritized veteran presence with the addition of Chris Kreider and Brock Nelson up front. And there will be a pair of brothers suiting up for their country in Brady and Matthew Tkachuk, and Quinn and Jack Hughes.

The Calgary Flames paid tribute to former NHL star Johnny Gaudreau before a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, months after he and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were tragically killed by a suspected drunk driver while riding bikes on a rural road in New Jersey the night before their sister’s wedding. 

The emotional night began with a ceremonial puck drop that included Gaudreau’s parents, Jane and Guy, his two sisters and his wife, Meredith, and their two children. 

Johnny was also honored by the Flames after their 3-0 victory over Columbus as he was named the first star of the game. His father walked out on the ice to accept the honor alongside Calgary captain Rasmus Andersson. 

The "Golden At-Bat" (GAB) rule, recently hinted at by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, could fundamentally alter baseball by allowing a team to send its best player to the plate once per game, regardless of the batting order.

This rule, which has sparked some buzz among MLB owners, raises concerns that it would erode two of the game’s most cherished qualities: the magic of chance and the potential for unexpected heroes to rise to the occasion.

At its core, baseball is about giving everyone a chance, even if that means a lesser-known player becomes the next unexpected hero
