Late in the fourth quarter, a massive melee broke out that involved Pacers and Pistons players as well as fans in attendance. “The Malice at the Palace,” as it was later called, became known as “the most infamous brawl in NBA history.” And yet, more than 16 years later, there are still questions about what happened that evening and the aftermath of the incident....

Verratti has been widely criticised following his dismissal for haranguing the referee in the last-16 second leg, as PSG crumbled to a 5-2 aggregate defeat. But Emery is confident Verratti - who has been heavily linked with Barcelona in the recent past - can bounce back as PSG look to seal the Ligue 1 title in the coming weeks. “[Verratti] must learn from his experiences, both the positive and negative,” Emery told a pre-match news conference ahead of Wednesday’s game with Angers....

At the time of this writing, #VideogamesAreNotToBlame is the top trend on Twitter, with over 40,000 tweets and counting. Many critics of the narrative that video games played a role in the mass shootings over the weekend are using the hashtag to point out flaws in the logic. Namely, that violent video games are prominent in many other countries besides the United States, yet the US still has significantly more violent gun deaths....

The right-hander departed for just eight runs off 10 balls in the 16th over bowled by Mitchell Santner. He completely misjudged the length and stood there in disbelief as the ball disturbed the timber. Pitched outside off-stump, the ball turned enough to hit the top of the off-stump. The Delhi batter recently registered three ODI centuries – 166*, 113 (Sri Lanka), and 113 (Bangladesh) in the last five innings, and two single-digit scores of four and five (latest first), respectively....

Fabrizio Romano reports that the Dutchman is on the verge of being confirmed as the successor to interim manager Ralf Rangnick. The 52-year-old would have been able to catch a glimpse of the huge job he has on his hands. Manchester United were beaten 4-0 by fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday. Van Basten reacted to United’s demoralizing defeat, ripping into the Red Devils squad. He sent a warning to Ten Hag about the enormity of the job....

There were so many fan theories floating around, in fact, that director Matt Shakman had to do a little bit of expectations management. He told TVLine in the lead up to the release of WandaVision, “I know there will be a lot of disappointed people with some theories and some who will feel very smart, but you can’t please everybody, obviously. But I hope folks enjoy the ride.” Those who were expecting a finale that would set up future Marvel adventures were sure to be disappointed by the finale, which just wound up the story of Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) without bringing in any new elements....

Blizzard first announced development on the Warcraft movie in 2006, partnering with Legendary Pictures (Interstellar, Godzilla) to bring the insanely popular game to the big screen.

One doesn’t need to be a lip-reading expert to decipher Donaldson’s immediate jump from calm to heated: He seemed to yell, “What are you looking at? What the f— are you looking at?” toward Musgrove, who shouted something in return. Pittsburgh catcher Elias Diaz tried to get between Donaldson and Musgrove, but Donaldson shoved him to the side while the benches cleared. Donaldson, Musgrove and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle were ejected, though arguably nobody should have been kicked from the game....

Venom producer Matt Tolmach previously revealed that an R rating would be considered given Joker’s massive box office success. “I mean, I think you always have to think about [it], now that that works. Having said that, our movie worked really well. Our franchise exists as it is, and I don’t think anybody is looking to just say, ‘Hey, they [did it]!...
