Rams’ Myles Garrett on track to finally come off IR in time for Commanders clash

The Los Angeles Rams are set to activate Myles Garrett ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Washington Commanders. After undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, Garrett returns from injured reserve, having logged 40 snaps in the 27-7 season‑opening loss to the 49ers in Melbourne. Sources Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport confirm he’s cleared to suit up, giving the Rams a boost in their playoff push despite the trade’s original Lombardi‑trophy ambitions.

The LA Kings Need To Start Winning the Games That Matter

The Los Angeles Kings sit 5-7-2 in their first 14 games of the 2026‑27 season and must improve against Pacific rivals to stay competitive. A 7-2 win over the San Jose Sharks highlighted their potential, with Adrian Kempe returning for a hat trick and Artemi Panarin adding four assists, but earlier overtime losses to the Sharks and Vegas, plus a loss to Edmonton, left them seventh in the division with just 12 points. With a subpar 1-1-2 record against division foes, the Kings need to turn flashes of offense into consistent, divisional victories to keep playoff hopes alive.

Report: Warriors expected to trade Kristaps Porzingis by December 16th

The Golden State Warriors are set to move Kristaps Porzingis by Dec. 16, according to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel. Porzingis, who re‑signed on a partially guaranteed two‑year, $40 million deal, skipped training camp and effectively retired, leaving the Warriors with a salary they hope to flip into a trade exception.

The team, currently 6‑3 and a playoff contender, appears keen to act quickly.

Warriors’ Stephen Curry reveals his only trash talk with Klay Thompson these days, and it’s not what you think

After the Warriors' 120-100 win over Miami, Stephen Curry reveals that his only recent trash talk with former Splash Brother Klay Thompson isn’t about basketball at all—it’s a college‑basketball wager. Curry joked that the only conversation they’ve had revolves around the Davidson Wildcats beating Washington State, letting him claim the bet’s “best end.” The light‑hearted exchange shows their friendship endures despite now playing for different NBA teams, while Curry’s 29‑point second‑half helped secure Golden State’s sixth straight victory.

Will the 49ers’ history of second-half surges and post-bye dominance lead to the No. 1 seed?

Since 2022 the San Francisco 49ers have become second‑half monsters, posting a 23‑8 record in November and December games (9‑0 in 2022, 7‑2 in 2023, 2‑7 in 2024, 7‑2 in 2025). Their post‑bye performances are equally impressive, with wins over the Chargers (2022), Jaguars (2023), and Titans (2025), highlighted by key plays from Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Talanoa Hufanga. Despite a disappointing 2024 stretch, the 2025 schedule positions the Niners for a strong playoff run and a realistic shot at the No. 1 seed, provided star receiver Mike Evans stays healthy and the defense continues to pressure opponents. The article argues that Shanahan’s team can overcome a few slip‑ups and clinch the top seed.

NFL Star Wide Receiver Owes Team $13 Million As Ugly Contract Dispute Takes New Turn

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk faces a $13 million bonus dispute that could stall his exit from the team. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the 49ers claim the money is owed, and Aiyuk and agent Drew Rosenhaus are set to meet with the franchise on Friday, Nov. 6, to negotiate a possible release, trade, or settlement. The dispute arises after Aiyuk, once a key 2023 target with 75 catches for 1,342 yards, missed the 2024 season due to a serious knee injury and is now under contract through 2028. No court order exists yet, but unresolved talks could push the case to arbitration, affecting his availability to other teams.

Warriors’ Draymond Green claps back at ‘big dummy’ Kendrick Perkins after ‘liability’ criticism

2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Dominic Smith

Dominic Smith entered the 2026 Braves on a modest split contract after a solid 2025 with the Giants, but his season proved uneven. He appeared in 108 games, posting a .253/.311/.383 slash line, .304 wOBA and 9 homers, yet his fWAR slipped to -0.5. After limited use in September, Smith was thrust into the NL Wild Card Series, starting Game 3 and delivering key hits that helped Atlanta advance. While his early‑season promise faded and contact quality waned, his clutch postseason performance gave him a brief spotlight in an otherwise underwhelming year.

With a $20 million trade exemption, Golden State expects to trade him within the next 30‑40 days, likely by mid‑December when many new contracts become trade‑eligible. Meanwhile, Domantas Sabonis, a top rebounder under contract through 2027‑28, is a prime target for teams like the Sacramento Kings, and Kyrie Irving’s future in Dallas remains uncertain as the Mavericks consider selling the 34‑year‑old guard post‑ACL recovery.
