Right-hander Codi Heuer underwent Tommy John surgery Monday, a source said. As Heuer’s offseason throwing progression picked up in mid-January, he felt discomfort, according to a source, and when rest didn’t resolve the issue, an MRI last week revealed the detached ligament.
Murray’s father, Kenyon Murray, tweeted after Sunday’s game at the State Farm Center in Champaign that he left messages with the athletic directors and basketball staffs of Illinois and Iowa after Kris “was told to go ‘(expletive) kill yourself.’ ”
Maciver’s hiring represents the second major front-office move by Davidson since he was named permanent GM last week. On Friday, Davidson fired Mark Kelley, vice president of amateur scouting, and Ryan Stewart, assistant general manager of pro evaluation.
Both players were cleared for contact by team doctors Wednesday morning, coach Billy Donovan said ahead of a road game against the Detroit Pistons. Caruso and Williams could return to practice with their teammates on Friday, but Donovan said that decision will rely on their performance in upcoming workouts.
“Working on behalf of, and in partnership with, our players is my number one priority,” Berman said in a statement. “Having been involved in professional sports for many years, I know how critically important a genuine partnership with players is for us all to be successful and continue to grow.”
“Everything I’ve heard about those two guys and what I’ve seen from the outside, just competitors, love to win. and that’s what we do,” Hendricks said. “That’s what we have on our team and just establishing that identity again of competing and getting after it. It starts with the pitching, and last year, we just didn’t do a great job of it. So really setting the tone and those guys are going to add a lot to our group.”
The injections LaVine received in February helped him regain a level of comfort and mobility, but Donovan described the procedures as a “Band-Aid,” not a long-term fix. LaVine said he doesn’t anticipate returning to 100% until the offseason, a reality he accepts as part of the grind of playing an 82-game season.
Cooper, who will turn 28 in June and is preparing for his eighth season, would be a massive upgrade for the Bears. I tend to think they would have to overpay to land him considering the state of the team’s offense. Cooper had 68 receptions for 865 yards (12.8 average) and eight touchdowns last year, only the second time in his career he was under 1,000 yards. The Cowboys signed him to a $100 million contract in 2020, but it essentially was a two-year deal because of the way the guarantees were structured. With his $20 million base salary for this season becoming guaranteed on the fifth day of the league year, the Cowboys have an out. They have other talented receivers in CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, whom they reportedly are working to re-sign even though he is coming off an ACL injury. Cooper would make sense for the Bears but not at something close to the $20 million annual average he was earning with the Cowboys. You could wind up paying for past production if you believe Cooper is beyond his prime. There should be a solid market for him, so I would be a little surprised if he wound up with the Bears. But you never know.
Playing on the same line as Kane, Dylan Strome had three goals and an assist and Alex DeBrincat finished with a goal and three assists. Jonathan Toews, Brandon Hagel and Ryan Carpenter also scored as the Hawks turned a fast start into their third win in nine games.
“Everything I do, I train as hard as I possibly can,” Hendriks told reporters in Mesa, Ariz., on Tuesday. “That way, if I’m doing this now, it will build up to the point where if I throw three, four, five days in a row once the season hits on, I’m able to take care of the business.”
