OG Anunoby is Questionable for Game 1
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (appendectomy) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. Anunoby had his appendix rupture before surgery and the surgery had infection complications, so it's surprising to see him ready to play this soon. Pascal Siakam will still see plenty of playing time, so Anunoby should […]

Scott Kingery Likely to Stay in the Outfield
Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Scott Kingery has seen a good amount of time in the outfield lately, but that's not likely going to stop anytime soon.
