Kawhi Leonard in the starting lineup as he makes his season debut with Clippers

The Clippers are also getting back guard Terance Mann, who missed 10 games due to a broken left middle finger.INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Kawhi Leonard was in the starting lineup and made his season debut as the Los Angeles Clippers hosted the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.Leonard missed the Clippers’ first 34 games with what the team described as right knee injury recovery. It is his first NBA game action since April 26, when he played 25 minutes and scored nine points in Game 3 of the Clippers’ Western Conference first-round playoff series against Dallas. The Clippers lost that game and were eventually eliminated in six games.LA went into Saturday’s game with a 19-15 record and in seventh place in the Western Conference. Lue said with Leonard and Mann’s return, it might take a couple games to figure out everyone’s roles.AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nbaLeonard appeared in 68 regular-season games in 2023-24, but missed 12 of the final 14 with right knee inflammation. He then came back for two games during the playoffs. He was picked for the Olympic team but was sent home during the training camp in Las Vegas when the USA Basketball staff felt Leonard’s knee was not healthy enough to play.___“So just going back to the drawing board, trying to find the right rotation and guys who play well with each other. And so that’s going to be the toughest task,” Lue said.Leonard has missed 290 regular-season games over the last eight years, including all of the 2021-22 season with knee trouble after being injured in the 2021 Western Conference semifinals against Utah.Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard is on a minutes restriction, but did not say how much playing time the six-time All-Star forward would get.“This is like his preseason and training camp because he hasn’t had that. Everybody who’s playing tonight had a training camp and they played 30-35 games,” Lue said. “We’re going to make sure we bring him back slowly. It’s a great step in the right direction tonight, but we’ve got to make sure we’re doing it the right way.”

SALT LAKE CITY – Recent Utah Ski Team alumni Joe Davies and Kaja Norbye have hauled in Academic All-America honors, announced this week by College Sports Communicators (CSC).

SALT LAKE CITY – Recent Utah Ski Team alumni Joe Davies and Kaja Norbye have hauled in Academic All-America honors, announced this week by College Sports Communicators (CSC). Davies earned a second team spot, while Norbye was placed on the third team.
 
It is the second straight season Davies has been recognized for his racing and academic prowess; in 2024 he was a third-team honoree. Norbye has earned third-team placement for the second straight year.
 
A civil engineering major, Davies came to Utah before the 2024 racing season as a transfer from Alaska Fairbanks. He made 14 collegiate starts over his two seasons with the Utes, totaling 11 podiums and four wins. Davies finished his overall four-year career as a two-time NCAA individual champion, seven-time all-American, four-time All-RMISA selection and an RMISA/NCAA West Regional Champion.
 
He made six starts with the Utes in 2025—each netting a podium result—with a pair of victories along the way. The native of Pemberton, British Columbia, put on a dominant victory at the NCAA Championships in the 20K freestyle mass start, winning that race by over a minute as Utah came away with its 17th team national title all-time. He took his talents to the World Cup circuit again this past season, making six starts with four top-20 finishes.
 
During his time with the Utes, the coaching staff presented Davies with the Alf Engen Sportsmanship Award (2025) and David Novelle Memorial Award (2024).
 
Norbye completed her Bachelor’s degree in finance in 2024 and went on to complete a Master’s in the same discipline this past May. She had a standout career on the alpine side, making 48 starts during her four-year career at Utah with 18 podiums and four wins. Originally from Oslo, Norway, she was a four-time all-American on the hill at Utah and named the 2024 RMISA MVP in women’s slalom. She was part of national championship-winning teams in 2022, ’23 and ’25 as well as a runner-up squad in 2024.
 
In 2025, she started all 14 races, earning 11 individual top-10 results and first-team all-America in women’s giant slalom. Over her final six starts, she skied to five podiums, including silver in slalom during the RMISA Championships. At NCAAs, Norbye placed fifth in GS and 15th in slalom.
 
Following her freshman season, the program’s coaching staff named Norbye the recipient of the 2022 Toril Forland Award. She received that honor again in 2024 as the outstanding female skier, as well as the Alpine MVP Award in 2025.
 
With this pair of honorees, the Utah Ski Team now has had 23 Academic All-America selections (12 men, 11 women) in its recorded history, and at least one in four straight seasons. This honor is generally considered more difficult to attain in skiing than in other sports; most sports have their own CSC Academic All-America selections, but skiing is part of the “at-large” program which groups 10 sports together.

CHATTANOOGA — For the first time in school history, Chattanooga volleyball will be playing matches in McKenzie Arena later this fall as the Mocs will officially host the 2025 Chattanooga Classic at the Roundhouse from September 4-6, head coach Julie Torbett Thomas announced on Friday.

Built in 1982 and entering its 43rd year of existence, McKenzie Arena has played home to wide variety of events ranging from Chattanooga men’s and women’s basketball games to Taylor Swift concerts to WWE title bouts. The Roundhouse will now officially add Chattanooga volleyball to that list for the first time EVER, as the team’s annual Chattanooga Classic tournament is set to be played under the McKenzie Arena lights later this September.

“Getting the opportunity to play in McKenzie Arena for the first time in school history is a dream come true for our program,” Torbett Thomas said. “This moment represents growth—not just for our team, but for the sport of volleyball as a whole. We are incredibly grateful to Athletic Director Mark Wharton and SWA Laura Herron for their unwavering support and guidance in making this vision a reality.”

A total of seven matches make up the tournament slate for the 2025 Chattanooga Classic, which marks the 18th installment of the tournament all-time. The Mocs will welcome opponents from near and far alike to take part in the momentous weekend for UTC volleyball, as Alabama, Cincinnati, Ohio and Jacksonville State are all set to attend.

“Volleyball is taking the country by storm, and we hope hosting Alabama, Ohio, Cincinnati and Jacksonville State in McKenzie Arena will be a celebration that the entire university, city and surrounding communities will rally behind,” continued Torbett Thomas. “We are so excited!”

The entire weekend’s slate of matches, much like the rest of Chattanooga volleyball’s 2025 home schedule, will be free to attend for the public. All of UTC’s matches in the tournament will also be available to stream via ESPN+.

The 2025 World Aquatics Championships — featuring swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming, open water swimming and high diving — air live on Peacock from July 11-Aug. 3 from Singapore.

Competition starts with water polo.

The U.S. women’s water polo team won five of the last six world titles, then placed fourth at the Paris Games after winning the previous three Olympic titles.

The U.S. men, after winning their first Olympic medal in 16 years (bronze), now seek their first world championships podium finish ever.

In artistic swimming, the U.S. is coming off its first Olympic medal in 20 years (silver in the team event). At worlds, separate sets of medals are awarded for technical and free routines for solo men and women, women’s and mixed duets and the team, plus an extra acrobatic routine for the team.

Diving and pool swimming events start July 26.

In 2024, China swept all eight Olympic program diving events at both the World Championships and at the Paris Games.

The swimming competition features most of the Paris Olympic headliners, including Americans Katie Ledecky, Torri Huske and Kate Douglass, Canadian Summer McIntosh and Frenchman Leon Marchand.

One of the most anticipated events is a likely showdown between Ledecky and McIntosh in the 800m free final (Aug. 2). Ledecky can become the first swimmer to win a seventh world title in the same event. Last month, McIntosh swam a time that was 95 hundredths of a second shy of Ledecky’s new world record from May.

American Gretchen Walsh, who at last December’s short course worlds broke 11 world records (including relays) and won seven gold medals, could swim eight events at these worlds.
