WWE star Liv Morgan will “miss several months of action” after she suffered a shoulder injury.

The announcement was made by commentator Corey Graves during Monday Night Raw on June 23. 

It was expected Morgan would miss significant time as a result of her injury, but the severity of it was unknown. Morgan is also one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez. 

The plans on the titles haven’t been announced, as Rodriguez could either continue the reign alongside someone else or the titles could be vacated. There is a chance Rodriguez and Morgan could hold onto the championships until Morgan returns.

What happened to Liv Morgan?

Morgan suffered the injury in a match with Kairi Sane during Monday Night Raw on June 16. In the early stages of the contest, Sane dropped to her knees to perform a single-leg takedown. Morgan went face first on the mat and her right shoulder also hit the ground. Morgan immediately yelled in pain and rolled out of the ring as the referee prevented Sane from performing any other move.

Medical personnel came to check on Morgan outside of the ring, and the match was eventually called off as Morgan was escorted out of the arena. Sane was declared winner by forfeit.

Liv Morgan appears to have injured her shoulder, the match has been paused and she’s being checked by doctors ringside.#WWERAW

Liv Morgan return: When could she come back?

While the severity of Morgan’s injury is unknown, Morgan won’t be appearing in WWE in the foreseeable future. Morgan was scheduled to attend Fanatics Fest in New York City on June 20-22, but was pulled from the event after her injury.

A shoulder dislocation can sideline athletes for months. The timeline of return depends on the severity of the injury and whether surgery is necessary. The Mayo Clinic says the shoulder would improve “over a few weeks” if surgery is not needed, but if surgery is performed, full recovery can take five to six months.

Shoulder injuries have been an issue for the two-time Women’s World Champion. In 2023, Morgan missed six months of action after she dislocated her shoulder in a match with Rhea Ripley, which turned out to be a labrum tear and she required surgery.

Should Morgan miss around five months, she would return around the same time as Survivor Series on Nov. 29, or could possibly wait to return at Royal Rumble in January 2026, similar to how she did in 2024.

Morgan was in her fourth reign as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez, a record for the title. The duo won the titles at Raw After WrestleMania on April 21 and they lost them to Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch one day earlier at WrestleMania 41.

The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.

Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA — a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.

 To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 21st of 27 players who wore the No. 15 jersey for the Warriors.

That player would be Golden State wing alum Latrell Sprewell. After ending his college career at Alabama, Sprewell was picked up with the 24th overall selection of the 1992 NBA draft by the Warriors.

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native would play the first six seasons of his pro career with the Dubs before he was dealt to the New York Knicks in 1999.

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Sprewell wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 20.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the “New Jersey Americans”.

Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.

To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise’s jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 21st of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 20, which has has had a total of 28 players wear the number in the history of the team.

The sixth of those players wearing No. 20 played in the (then) New York (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, forward alum Johnny Baum. After ending his college career at Temple, Baum was picked up with the 23rd overall selection of the 1969 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls.

The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Bulls. He would sign with the ABA’s Nets in 1971, his stay with New York spanning parts of two seasons. It came to an end when he was dealt to the (defunct) Memphis Tams in 1973,

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Baum wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

CHICAGO (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez left the game Monday night in the first inning after being hit on the hand by a 95.9 mph fastball from Chicago White Sox starter Shane Smith.

The team said on social media he sustained a bruise and that X-rays were negative.

Suárez hopped in the batter’s box as he raised his right hand in pain. He dropped his bat and grabbed his right hand with his left. He was replaced in the field for the bottom of the first by Ildemaro Vargas.

The day started with Suárez being named the NL player of the week after he batted .440 with four homers and 10 RBIs.

It’s the second Diamondbacks player to recently be hit by a pitch. Star outfielder Corbin Carroll hasn’t played since a sinker caught him in the left hand Wednesday in Toronto.

The banged-up Diamondbacks are also missing catcher Gabriel Moreno, who suffered a hairline fracture in his right index finger after being hit by a wild pitch.

Son of NBA Legend Makes Major College Commitment to Big Ten School originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

It’s not uncommon to see the son of an NBA legend look to follow in his father’s footsteps and try to make it to the league. In the case of former Portland Trailblazers legend Brandon Roy, and his son, Brandon Roy Jr., the paths are starting to look very similar. 

On Monday afternoon, Roy Jr. announced that he was committing to the Washington Huskies as a member of the 2025 class. Roy Jr. stands at 6-foot-2, 160 pounds as an unranked shooting guard. 

Over two decades ago, Brandon Roy joined the Huskies as a 3-star recruit in the class of 2002. He flourished in Seattle, averaging 20 points, five rebounds and four assists in his senior season with the Huskies before being selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft. 

Brandon Roy Jr. has committed to @UW_MBB .

The son of the Legendary Brandon Roy #3 will take the final roster spot for the Dawgs. Woof!!

Welcome Brandon Roy Jr.! pic.twitter.com/1iz2LWj14l

— UW Hoops World (@world_uw) June 23, 2025

Roy was incredible with the Blazers, though he saw his career cut short due to injuries. He won the Rookie of the Year Award in 2007, and was a three-time NBA All-Star from 2008-2010. Throughout his career, Roy suffered multiple meniscus tears, and had a degenerative knee condition where the cartilage in his knees wore away, leading to chronic pain and swelling.

Roy officially retired in 2013 as a member of the Minnesota Timberworlves. 

Since, Roy has gotten into the coaching world at Garfield, in Seattle, where his son, Brandon Roy Jr. currently plays. Roy was named the aismith National HS Coach of the Year in 2017. 

Now he gets to see his son try and follow the path that he laid out, with some big shoes to fill.

Wolverines recruiting couldn’t be any hotter at the moment, with Michigan football having secured a few big commitments in the past few days (the latest being four-star defensive tackle Titan Davis) while also hitting it out of the park on Victors Weekend with some top names. Five-stars Carter Meadows and Calvin Russell appear to have moved the maize and blue up their list, sparking curiosity if they’ll end up choosing to wear a winged helmet when their time comes to make a decision.

But one recent visitor who didn’t appear Ann Arbor-bound might just be if the latest prediction holds true.

The Wolverines have been strongly after some big-time prospects in the state of Georgia, but 2026 Carrollton (Ga.) four-star cornerback Dorian Barney appeared to be close to a lock for Penn State. However, it appears that his official visit this weekend went very well — so good that The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb put in a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction indicating that Barney will end up choosing the Wolverines when he makes his decision.

Barney is set to make his commitment on July 5, so there’s still some time before he has to come to a final decision on where he’ll end up. Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Georgia Tech were also in contention. Rated a four-star cornerback, Barney is highest rated on Rivals, where he’s the No. 75 overall player in the country, regardless of position. He’s also the ninth-best corner in the class, per Rivals.

Should the Wolverines land him, it would take the sting out of Khary Adams picking Notre Dame last week. Michigan does have one cornerback committed, albeit tenuously, in Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star Brody Jennings.

Here is the current list of Michigan football commits in the 2026 class:

• Newbury Park (Calif.) four-star QB Brady Smigiel (No. 83 overall, 8th QB, 12th in California)
• St. Louis (Mo.) DeSmet four-star DL Titan Davis (No. 101 overall, 13th DL, 2nd in Missouri)
• Billings (Mt.) West four-star TE Matt Ludwig (No. 160 overall, 9th TE, 1st in Montana )
• Chicago (Ill.) Simeon four-star EDGE McHale Blade (No. 168 overall, 21st EDGE, 4th in Illinois)
• Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star CB Brody Jennings (No. 277 overall, 24th CB, 43rd in Florida)
• Cartersville (Ga.) Cass four-star IOL Bear McWhorter (No. 399 overall, 33rd IOL, 48th in Georgia)
• Liberty Hill (Tx.) four-star DL Alister Vallejo (No. 413 overall, 44th DL, 54th in Texas)
• Columbus (Ohio) St. Francis de Sales three-star RB Jonathan Brown (No. 561 overall, 34th RB, 26th in Ohio)
• Denver (Colo.) Mullen three-star TE Mason Bonner (No. 602, 30th TE, 5th in Colorado)
• Dallas (Tx.) Parish Episcopal three-star WR Jaylen Pile (No. 718 overall, 105th WR, 112th in Texas)
• Washington (D.C.) St. John’s three-star EDGE Tariq Boney (No. 807 overall, 74th EDGE, 4th in D.C.)
• Hinsdale (Ill.) Central K Micah Drescher (No. 4 K, Chris Sailer Kicking)
• Phoenix (Ariz.) Sandra Day O’Connor five-star LS Colton Dermer (No. 6 LS)

Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan Falls in Latest NL All-Star Balloting originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan fell to fifth place on the NL all-star ballot for second basemen in the latest phase one voting update.

Previously, in the first update on June 16, Donovan stood in fourth place – around 18,000 behind the Chicago Cubs’ Nico Hoerner, and around 6,000 ahead of the New York Mets’ Jeff McNeil.

— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) June 23, 2025

Since then, Hoerner has moved to third place with over 636K. McNeil has also jumped Donovan by a big margin with 550K to Donovan’s 525K.

To move to phase two of voting, a player must be one of the top two vote receivers for their position.

Donovan now sits over half a million votes behind second place – held by his former Cardinals teammate, Tommy Edman.

Donovan has had a fantastic season, batting .308 with a .806 OPS and 2.1 bWAR. Though Edman has played well, his average and OPS sit behind Donovan at .248 and .736. In 10 less games than Donovan, he has six more homers and 11 more RBI.

The reigning-champion Los Angeles Dodgers have taken over the ballots, with one of their players housing a top two spot in each position. 

Other Cardinals cracking the top 10 of their positions include Willson Contreras, Nolan Arenado, Masyn Winn, and Ivan Herrera. All of them face large deficits with Donovan being the Cardinals most voted player.

Donovan can still be expected to make the National League roster as a reserve, with players and the Commissioner’s Office getting their say on the selections as well.

Fans have until June 26 to vote on their favorite players before phase one closes. Phase two will open on June 30 at 11 a.m. central.
