The Golden Knights have made seven first-round picks in their history. Six are no longer with the organization. Here’s a look at where they all are now.
The Raiders will get some salary cap relief starting Monday, plus three more observations from the second week of organized team activities.
The Dallas Mavericks are headed to the NBA Finals with three players who have direct basketball ties to Las Vegas — high school or college experience in Southern Nevada.
People have a right to their beliefs, but that doesn’t mean they have to attack sports teams’ social media posts supporting Pride Month.
There are different kinds of wins in sports. Ones when you outplay an opponent. Ones when you don’t and still succeed. Ones when you make your owns breaks. Ones when the other guys break down. UNLV’s basketball team had another kind Saturday. “This was a character win,” Rebels coach Dave Rice said.
Is there such a thing as a season-defining moment for a college basketball team in just its fourth game? For UNLV, it will find out Saturday.
History is pretty clear on this: You can’t begin listing the greatest Final Four games and not mention many — Magic vs. Larry in 1979, Texas Western and its all-black starting five vs. Kentucky in 1966, Jim Valvano looking for someone to hug in 1983, Villanova slaying Georgetown in 1985 — before reaching games between UNLV and Duke in 1990 and 1991.

Generosity is any act of kindness or support given with no expectation of exchange or return from the recipient(s).
After a slow start, the two-time defending WNBA champion Aces couldn’t seal the deal against the Atlanta Dream on Friday and suffered their second loss of the season.
Shooting guard Jackie Young is holding her own at the point in the absence of Chelsea Gray, giving the Aces more flexibility for a new roster addition.
The Rebels, after a strong first year under coach Barry Odom, will appear on national TV more times than ever before during the 2024 season.
Raiders assistant Luke Steckel worked on some major film productions after college, but coaching was always in his blood.
