While on a rehab assignment with Single-A Potomac, Johnson, who’s been out since April with a calf strain, suffered a setback when he strained his oblique on a violent sneeze, Nationals manager Matt Williams told reporters Wednesday. MORE: All-time dumbest sports injuries “Strange happenings,” Williams said. “He got hit in the ribs, and then sneezed and pulled an oblique in the same area. I don’t know what it was. But he actually sneezed and he’s got an oblique strain....

Widely seen as favorites to win the World Series in 2013, the Washington Nationals wound up a disappointment, with an 86-76 record that left them 10 games adrift of the Atlanta Braves at the end of the season. How that happened is something of a mystery, because Washington was sixth in National League scoring and sixth in ERA — a well-balanced team that simply didn’t win enough. It wasn’t bad luck that cost the Nationals in Davey Johnson’s final year as manager, as they were 28-24 in one-run games and 7-8 in extra innings....

Harper, who missed 57 games because of a torn ligament in his left thumb, was batting sixth and playing left field as the Nationals opened a series against the Colorado Rockies on Bryce Harper bobblehead night.

At least four people died, one by gunshot wounds, and dozens more were injured Wednesday as the pro-Trump mob clashed with security forces at the U.S. Capitol. To some observers, the scenes evoked images of other nations beset by unrest. For those hailing from countries accustomed to turmoil they accuse the U.S. of instigating, Wednesday’s events served as an opportunity to criticize and ridicule interventionist policies pursued by Washington....

The Boston Celtics will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 20 in the second annual NBA Canada Series pre-season exhibition game in Montreal, league officials announced on Tuesday. The series tipped off last year when the Toronto Raptors faced the New York Knicks in Montreal and the Timberwolves faced the Detroit Pistons in Winnipeg. “The NBA Canada Series captures the unique experience of a live NBA game for our fans outside of Toronto and helps fuel the increasing interest in our game across the country,” said NBA Canada vice president Dan MacKenzie....

It requires elite level control and ball-handling skills to leave the defender grasping on thin air. One-on-one plays are usually a result of bad rotation and/or stagnant transition offense and end up putting the onus on an individual playmaker to bail the team out of a bad possession by conjuring something out of nothing. It’s a delight for the crowd to see such encounters but a nightmare for the coaches on either side....

Within 48 hours of eliminating the Spurs, Mike Malone and his Nuggets were ready to face off Lillard’s Trail Blazers for Game 1 of the West semis. What transpired rather came as a shock considering the grind Denver had just been through for a gruelling seven-game bout. The Nuggets stole game 1 at home 121-113 over the Blazers and took a 1-0 lead heading into the second matchup. Although both of these teams haven’t had deep playoff runs lately, there seems to be no shortage of talent on both sides to make one this year....

Over the four quarters, the Bulls hardly ever lost their lead. This is a massive improvement from 11 weeks ago when the Bulls had just hit rock bottom. The Celtics had just handed the Bulls their worst loss in 53 seasons and this Saturday, Chicago avenged that miserable defeat. On that note, we take a look at the key talking points from Chicago’s victory. #1 Career High For Zach LaVine The Celtics seemed to have no answer to the Chicago Bulls’ Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen who both hit their career highs in terms of points on Saturday night....

The matchup went into double-overtime and packed the energy and intensity of nothing short of a high-stakes playoff game, with the Spurs ending up on the winning side of an astronomical 154-147 scoreline. The Spurs had won five in a row before dropping one to the Grizzlies when they hosted Westbrook and his OKC. The arduous win for San Antonio also meant that Gregg Popovich would pass Jerry Sloan for third All-Time in NBA head coaching wins....

But this season has been a mysterious one for the Celtics, with nobody able to get into a rhythm. Let us look at the playoff chances for the Boston Celtics. Positive Signs: #1. Kyrie Irving has caught fire: Kyrie Irving has had a tumultuous season with the Boston Celtics this season, with the whole free agency drama and the fact that he called out some of the players publicly has not gone down well with the whole team....

The inconsistency continues for the Wizards, as they were able to defeat top-ranked Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics before this loss. It seems like the tough teams take it easy when facing the Wizards, believing that it will be an easy win for them. The Wizards were still out with 7 players and had just a 9 player rotation against the Magic, which was one of several factors as to why the Wizards lost....
