Unseld: Wizards’ loss, defense against undermanned Blazers ‘unacceptable’

In serious need of a win -- losers of five of their last seven and falling out of the hunt for the last play-in spot -- the Wizards faced off against a struggling Portland team that was without several of its best players. Despite the advantage, Washington (29-37) lost 127-118 for its third straight defeat on the West Coast road trip.

Falcons’ Ridley suspended at least one year for gambling on NFL games

The star wide receiver will now also miss the entire 2022 season -- and potentially more -- due to an indefinite suspension handed down by the NFL on Monday. Ridley, 27, was suspended by the league through the 2022 season for placing bets on NFL games during a five-day period in November.
