Wizards win 2026 NBA Draft Lottery

The Washington Wizards will be making the first overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after winning the draft lottery yesterday afternoon. In order, the Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, and Chicago Bulls round out the rest of the top four.

"It's our fans that have endured the most," Wizards executive Michael Winger said. "And to me, this No. 1 pick is for them. It's a reward for hanging in there with us. It's a reward to continue to support us despite sometimes really bad basketball. They knew, and they supported a multiyear teardown, a multiyear reinvention of the franchise."

The Indiana Pacers, who finished the regular season with the second-worst record in the NBA (19-63), lost their draft pick due to a trade in February with the LA Clippers for center Ivica Zubac. Indiana would have held onto its pick if it landed a top-four selection. However, the team earned the fifth-overall pick, which went back to the Clippers.

"I'm really sorry to all our fans. I own taking this risk. Surprised it came up 5th after this year," president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said on social media. "I thought we were due some luck. But please remember - this team deserved a starting center to compete with the best teams next year. We have always been resilient."

The full NBA draft order as of today is as follows:

Ducks even series with Golden Knights

The Anaheim Ducks took Game Four by a score of 4-3 to tie up their series with the Vegas Golden Knights 2-2.

In the third period, Anaheim defenseman Ian Moore scored what would eventually be the game-winning goal to give the team a 4-2 lead.

Jacob deGrom becomes second-fastest pitcher ever to reach 1,900 strikeouts

Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom struck out his 1,900th batter yesterday against the Chicago Cubs, making him the second-fastest player in MLB history to reach this milestone, doing it in just 256 appearances. Hall of Famer Randy Johnson holds the current record after striking out his 1,900th batter in his 252nd appearance.

The future Hall of Famer threw seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while striking out ten batters as the Rangers beat the Cubs 3-0.

"Every day I'm able to put this uniform on, I'm thankful for it," deGrom told MLB.com. "As a kid, it was only a dream to be able to play Major League Baseball, and to think that I might be able to accomplish really anything in this game was still just a dream. I've been very fortunate to be able to do this. So just try to keep going."

Traik Skubal could return to the field much sooner than expected

A week after it was announced that Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal would have to undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, his agent, Scott Boras, said that Skubal could return to the field much sooner than originally expected.

“He will not lose the buildup that he had prior to the surgery,” Boras said during a May 10th edition of the Baseball Tonight podcast, “and he'll be able to return to performance at just a much, much earlier stage… We know from the mere fact that the normal tissue invasion and bleeding and swelling that goes with a customary arthroscope is not there. This is really almost like receiving a shot. So, time will tell, but we think it's going to be a much shorter period.”

Already a two-time Cy Young award winner, Skubal has only appeared in seven games this season, with a 3-2 record. His 2.70 ERA is good for 22nd in the MLB this year.
