Ashley Young to retire at the end of the season

Madrid, meanwhile, has won only one of its last six matches across all competitions as it limps towards the end of a disappointing season. Xabi Alonso has already been dismissed and, barring a drastic turn of events, Alvaro Arbeloa is also expected to leave in the off-season.

Espanyol has been in an even deeper rut than Madrid.

It was fifth at the start of 2026 but is yet to win this year, enduring a 16-match winless run that has dragged it into the group of teams fighting to avoid relegation.

Atletico Madrid plays at Valencia on Saturday before Diego Simeone’s side visits Arsenal next week, with its Champions League semifinal finely poised after a 1-1 first-leg draw.

ESPN’s Shams Charania, Durant has already been ruled out for Game 6. That news dropped at a devastating time for the Rockets, who found a way to steal a huge victory in Los Angeles without Durant on the night Austin Reaves made his return to the Lakers.

As the Lakers regain health to support 41-year-old LeBron James, prediction markets are not showing Houston any respect, even fresh off the heels of a quality upset.

On Thursday morning, Kalshi gives the Rockets a 27% probability of winning this series. Without Durant, the Rockets aren’t getting any love to build momentum and attempt a rare 3-1 comeback in the NBA Playoffs.

Even with the series shifting back to Texas, the Lakers have a 73% chance of winning this series. A contract on the Rockets would earn 3.25% interest, as they’re massive underdogs down 3-2 in this series.

The Rockets still find themselves in this deep hole because of Durant. The 37-year-old is dealing with a bone bruise in his left ankle. It’s a separate injury than the tendon bruise that sidelined Durant in Game 1.

In Game 2, he was able to play his lone action in this series. Durant played 41 minutes and scored 23 points in the defeat. But that’s when he suffered this ankle injury, which has had just about 10 days to heal. If a Game 7 is forced, there’s a chance that Durant could return, even though it’ll still be less than two weeks since the initial injury.

Without Durant, Houston’s young core has played well against the Lakers. It’s the youngest starting five to win a game in the history of the NBA Playoffs. Remember, it was Los Angeles that was supposed to be facing an uphil battle due to Reaves and Luka Doncic’s injuries during the final week of the NBA season. 

Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson will be tasked with keeping Houston’s series alive on their home floor during Game 6. If they can do it? That at least gives Durant a chance at making a return for Game 7, which would decide this highly-contested first-round series.

If Houston wins Game 6 at home, their probability of winning this series will dramatically increase because of the idea that Durant could potentially make a return for a win-or-go-home matchup on Friday.

Blockx upsets Ruud to enter first Masters 1000 semifinal of his career at Madrid Open

Baptiste, who made ⁠16 unforced errors in the first set, continued to struggle in the second, handing Andreeva a break for ‌a 3-2 lead.

But the American fended off a match point in the ninth game before Andreeva, serving for the set, double faulted and botched a smash before Baptiste landed two perfect winners to get her first break of the match, making it 5-5.

The ‌second set reached a tiebreak and a newly confident Baptiste ​won four points straight before Andreeva fought back with precise backhands near the sidelines and ⁠saved three set points.

Baptiste fired down an ace to save ⁠a match point but hit a return long as Andreeva clinched victory, reaching the final ‌of a WTA 1000 tournament for the third time after winning the Dubai Championships and the ​Indian Wells Open last year.

Knicks (-2.5) at Hawks – 8:00 p.m. ET

The Hawks led the Knicks, 2-1 through three games, but New York has rebounded with consecutive victories. New York seeks its fourth consecutive trip to the second round as the Knicks are favored on the road.

In each of the past two wins, the Knicks dominated with a pair of double-digit blowouts. Jalen Brunson dropped 39 points in the Game 5 rout, as the Knicks shot 57% from the floor.

Hawks G CJ McCollum is coming off his worst offensive game of the series, getting held to six points on 3-of-10 shooting. Atlanta’s two victories came by one point apiece, so New York was that close to sweeping this series. Let’s lay the short number with the Knicks to finish off the series.

The Wolves still lead the series, 3-2 returning to Target Center off a 125-113 loss in Denver on a 225.5 total. Tonight’s total has dipped one point after the teams combined for 39 points from the foul line in Game 4.

Each of the two games in Minneapolis finished under the total easily, with the Nuggets getting held to 96 points each time. Look for a defensive battle after the highest-scoring game of the series in tonight’s pivotal Game 6.
