The reigning sixth man of the year hasn’t played since Game 3 of the Heat’s matchup with the Celtics. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra says Herro has made progress and wants to play, but that this was deemed to be the most responsible decision. Boston coach Ime Udoka says Marcus Smart (sprained right ankle) and Robert Williams III (left knee soreness) are both game time decisions.

Josh Donaldson was placed on the 10-day injured list by the New York Yankees due to right shoulder inflammation. New York made the move retroactive to May 24. The 36-year-old third baseman had been on the COVID-19 injured list and has not played since Sunday. Because the COVID-19 list does not count against the 40-man roster, the Yankees opened a roster spot by tranferring Chad Green to the 60-day injured list. Donaldson was sidelined by right shoulder inflammation while with Toronto from April 11 to May 3, 2018.

López was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse before the game and had to immediately sit out at Citi Field. Mets manager Buck Showalter said the suspension had been reduced.

NEW YORK — It was not long ago that the baseball world cast an eye of confused suspicion on the Yankees.

Chip Ganassi's team won its fourth Indianapolis 500 a decade ago and nothing since. That is an unacceptable drought for the team owner. He heads into Sunday's race with five drivers,  starting with pole-sitter Scott Dixon and reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou. The duo starts first and second in a Ganassi contingent that includes Jimmie Johnson. The seven-time NASCAR champion is making his Indy 500 debut. Helio Castroneves is going for a record-setting fifth victory and second in a row. This is the first Indy 500 since 2019 that will be at capacity and more than 300,000 are expected.

Rafael Nadal will see a familiar face in the opposite corner for his fourth-round match at the French Open. That's because his uncle, Toni, who is also his former coach, is now working with Nadal's next opponent, 21-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime. All three of them knew this was bound to happen once Toni Nadal and Rafael Nadal ended their professional relationship and began working with a promising player. If Nadal beats Auger-Aliassime, he could play Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Both Nadal and Djokovic have won every set they've played in Paris this year and both have dropped a total of just 23 games so far. Three American women reached the fourth round: Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova and Sloane Stephens.

If you’re looking for some excitement, forget about the NBA playoffs. They’ve been a total snooze, filled with blowouts and only a handful of must-see moments. The lack of drama has been especially striking when compared to the NHL postseason, which has produced one thrill after another. Games 7s? Check. Overtime goals? Check. Fierce rivalries? Check. Once again, hockey’s playoffs are proving to be the most compelling show in all of sports, leaving hoops and most everything else in their wake. That was apparent again late Thursday night, then Edmonton finished off Calgary with an overtime goal.
