(Oklahoma City, OK) — The Bucks won for the fifth time in six games, taking down the defending NBA champions on the road Thursday night 110-93.

Milwaukee is back on the court tonight (Friday) at New Orleans against the Pelicans.
(Madison, WI) — The Badgers will try to upset a second straight top 10 team tonight (Friday) when they host the Michigan State Spartans.

Michigan State has a record of 20-and-4, including 10-and-3 in Big Ten Conference play. Sophomore point guard Jeremy Fears leads the Spartans in scoring with 15 points a game, but also deals another nine assists per outing.
Pregame at 6pm. Tipoff at 6:30pm on AM1240 & 96.5FM.

(Green Bay, WI) — The 2025 NFL Draft didn’t add much to the Packers’ roster. NFL-dot-com ranks its collection of players dead last in the league. The Chicago Bears were number-one. Although wide receiver Matthew Golden had an impressive playoff game with four catches, 84 yards, and a touchdown, he was not very productive during the regular season. Same story for right guard Anthony Belton, wide receiver Savion Williams, and defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers All-Star catcher William Contreras agreed to a $9.4 million, one-year contract just before the scheduled start of an arbitration hearing in Scottsdale, Arizona. The deal includes a $14.5 million team option for 2027 that converts to a mutual option if Contreras finishes fourth or better in this year’s NL MVP balloting. The agreement was $175,000 above the midpoint between the $9.9 million Contreras had requested and the $8.55 million offered by the team when they exchanged proposed salaries last month. Contreras, 28, batted .260 with a .355 on-base percentage, 17 homers and 76 RBIs last year
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have signed right-handers Liam Hendriks and Julian Merryweather to minor league contracts with spring training invitations and acquired left-hander Anthony Banda in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The moves add three veteran options for deepening a rebuilt bullpen. The 32-year-old Banda logged a career-high 71 games last season for the world champions. The Dodgers received international bonus pool money in the deal. The 34-year-old Merryweather pitched in parts of the last three seasons with the Chicago Cubs. The 37-year-old Hendriks is a three-time All-Star with 19 appearances over the last three seasons because of injuries.
CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — U.S. curler Rich Ruohonen made Olympic history after joining the team as an alternate at the end of the game. On Thursday, the U.S. men trailed Switzerland 8-2 in their opening round-robin match when they subbed him in. Ruohonen stepped onto the ice and delivered a solid shot as teammates cheered. At 54, he became the oldest American to compete at the Winter Olympics. Ruohonen also balances the role with a full-time law practice. He trains before dawn, works all day, and handles Zoom hearings on the road. His younger teammates treat him like family.
