CAMDEN, New Jersey — The answers Anfernee Simons gamely tried to offer about the first day of 76ers training camp were suddenly drowned out by the furious whirring overhead of a helicopter leaving the team’s complex. LeBron James’ helicopter. James indeed used the rotorcraft for the rich to take him after practice from New Jersey to presumably close to wherever he decided to live in New York. The helicopter noises are usually reserved for when billionaire team owner Josh Harris lands at the complex for the NBA Draft or a major news conference. Not anymore. The Sixers were quickly caught in the whirlwind of the first days of the LeBron Effect, even as a pair of players and coach Nick Nurse professed all was good on the court. Off the court, make room. Sixers staff moved the news conference backdrop from a corner where a few dozen reporters are usually stuffed to shout questions at Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey to a spot closer toward midcourt for a roomier feel for the more than 50 credentialed reporters, bloggers, TV camera operators and more that came to get an early report card on James’ official first day as a Sixer. James was gone on Tuesday by the time the media was allowed on the court to watch practice. Embiid, Maxey, former Boston star Jaylen Brown, they were all absent, too, a day after holding court on media day. Nurse is starting his fourth season as coach of the Sixers. He’s used to handling the demands that come with working in a major market and dealing with star players in Philly such as with Embiid and his daily injury report or the high drama that surrounded former Sixer James Harden. Nurse did say he had conversations with the team about looking out for each other and staying connected while navigating a spotlight season — especially early — that already has a postseason-type of aura around the franchise before the Sixers even played a game. “It is going to be different,” Nurse said. “More people, more eyes, more stories, more national TV. All that kind of stuff. It’s the same, just a little more. I’m just trying to get to the practice floor and to the game floor. If we can do those two things, all that other stuff, we’ll just kind of handle it as smoothly as we can.”

NEW YORK — Cam Schlittler baffled Boston batters and Ben Rice blasted two home runs to spark a New York Yankees triumph on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), while Pope Leo XIV sent support to his hometown Chicago White Sox ahead of their Major League Baseball (MLB) playoff victory. Atlanta’s Austin Riley delivered a triumph with a three-run homer, and San Diego thrashed the Chicago Cubs, as the MLB postseason began with best-of-three wildcard series openers. At New York, Rice smashed a grand slam and a solo homer while right-hander Schlittler mystified the Red Sox, striking out 10 while allowing only two hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings in a masterpiece 9-0 shutout. “Just thrilled it left the yard to get four runs,” Rice said of his grand slam. “This is what you dream about, Yankees-Red Sox playoff game in New York.” The Yankees, missing slugger Aaron Judge due to a calf strain, saw Rice homer in the fifth, single home a run in the seventh and smash a bases-loaded homer in the eighth. Austin Wells drove in two runs, Luis Garcia plated a run hitting into a double play, and Schlittler threw a career-high 117 pitches to silence Red Sox hitters. New York leads the American League series, 1-0, with the winner facing Tampa Bay. The White Sox, of whom the pope is a lifelong fan, beat Houston, 6-3. A social media post by the White Sox showed an inspirational letter received on Tuesday from the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics. “I willingly invoke the Almighty’s abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones,” the pope wrote to White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf. Divine intervention or not, the White Sox dominated. Sam Antonacci put the White Sox ahead to stay by scoring on Munetaka Murakami’s first-inning sacrifice fly. Antonacci added a two-run single in the second, Colson Montgomery hit a solo homer in the fourth and Chase Meidroth’s bases-loaded single in the fifth made it 5-0. Houston’s Nelson Velazquez smacked a two-run homer in the fifth and each team added a run on an error to create the final margin. After the victory, the White Sox posted, “Abundantly blessed.” “We’ll take it,” White Sox manager Will Venable said. “The pope having our back and supporting us means a lot.” In the National League, Riley’s homer in the eighth inning gave the host Braves a 5-3 victory over Philadelphia. Trailing 3-2, Atlanta won after Michael Harris singled, took second base after Ozzie Albies was hit by a pitch ahead of Riley smashing a home run to right field off Phillies relief pitcher Jhoan Duran.

Alexandra Eala is among Time Magazine"s “TIME100 Next 2026: The World"s Most Influential Rising Stars.”

MANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala called out a fan who threw a white cap as she was exiting the court following her match at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. In a video circulating on social media, Eala was seen walking off the court when a man suddenly threw a white cap to get the Filipina player's autograph. Eala was clearly displeased by the gesture. She stopped walking immediately to pick up the cap and addressed the fan, telling him not to throw items at players and to ask politely instead if he wants an autograph. "Sir, you shouldn't throw things at players. You say it nice and I will sign for you, but please don't throw things, okay?" Eala said. (“Sir hindi ka dapat nagtatapon ng mga gamit sa player. You say it nice and I will sign for you pero huwag kang magtatapon please?”) Despite the incident, she eventually signed the cap and handed it back to the man. The fan then apologized for his behavior, saying, "Sorry. Sorry. Thank you, Alex.” TMT

OKAZAKI, Japan — South Korea defeated Chinese Taipei for bronze in the women's compound archery team event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday, bouncing right back after a narrow loss to the defending champion India earlier in the day. The trio of Park Ye-rin, Kang Yeon-seo and Park Jung-yoon beat Chen Yi-Hsuan, Chen Fang-Yi and Huang I-Jou by the score of 229-228 at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, about 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya, the main host city. In compound archery, targets are set 50 meters away, 20 meters closer than recurve. Compound archers also use mechanical release aids and magnified sights, making the perfect score of 10 quite common. In the team competition, three archers per team each take two arrows per "end," with a maximum score of 60. The total points after four ends, or 24 arrows per team, determine the winner, with the maximum score being 240. South Korea shot a perfect 60 to Chinese Taipei's 59 in the first end, and the two countries matched each other with 58s in the next end. Chinese Taipei then edged out South Korea 56-55

Park Jung-yoon first entered the realm of competitive archery while in elementary school, but quit as she got into middle school. Now 29 years old, Park recalls that she wanted to explore other things in life. Years later, Park decided there was nothing she would rather do than shoot arrows for a living. When she was 25, Park picked up her bow and arrows again — first starting out in an amateur archery club that met only on weekends before eventually quitting her day job to focus on making the national team. Park won the national team trials for the compound discipline for the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games earlier this year. And on Wednesday, about four years after making her comeback to the sport, the South Korean collected two Asian Games medals — silver in the mixed team event and bronze in the women's team event. "I never regret decisions I make," Park said after the end of the mixed team final. "I am grateful to be doing something I love for a living." Park began her Asian Games campaign by joining teammates Kang Yeon-seo and Park Ye-rin for the women's team bronze in Wednesday's ear

The teams finished their regular four ends all knotted at 157 points before India held off South Korea for its second straight Asiad gold. Earlier in the day, Park helped South Korea win bronze in the women's team event, while Taniparthi lifted India to its second straight gold medal. Cumulative scoring determines the winner in the compound mixed team event. Each archer takes two arrows per "end," for a total of four arrows and a maximum of 40 points per end for each team. The team with more points after four ends wins. India shot perfect 40s in each of the first two ends, while South Korea had back-to-back 39s to trail 80-78 at the halfway mark. South Kor

OKAZAKI, Japan — Still two months shy of her 15th birthday, compound archer Kang Yeon-seo became South Korea's youngest medalist of the ongoing Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday. Kang joined Park Jung-yoon, 29, and Park Ye-rin, 20, for the bronze medal in the women's team event at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Multipurpose Square in Okazaki, about 50 kilometers southeast of the main host city, Nagoya. After helping her team to a 229-228 win over Chinese Taipei in the bronze medal contest, Kang said she was determined not to let her youth get in the way of accomplishing even more. "Honestly, people talk a lot about me being the youngest in this and that, but I have been training really hard regardless of my age," Kang said following the medal ceremony. "I will try to bring home another medal from the individual event." Kang has made it to the quarterfinals in the women's individual event, with medals scheduled to be determined Thursday. Kang and her team nearly slashed a giant in the semifinals, where they lost to the defending champion India 234-233. India went on to win its second straigh

NAGOYA, Japan — Korea's Jang Se-yun won the silver medal in the women's -52-kilogram judo event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Wednesday, grabbing the country's first judo medal at the Games. Jang lost to Sita Kadamboeva of Uzbekistan by hansoku-make, or disqualification, in the event's final at Aichi International Arena in Nagoya, central Japan. It is Korea's first judo medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Xu Aoyu of China and Kokoro Fujishiro shared the bronze medals. Following two ippon (full point) wins in her round-of-16 and quarterfinal matches, Jang met Japan's Kokoro Fujishiro in the semifinals and advanced to the final after her opponent received a third shido, or yellow card, during sudden-death overtime. It was the first time that Jang had beaten Fujishiro in four meetings. In the final, Jang and Kadamboeva went through the regulation four minutes with two shidos each. The sudden-death overtime was tightly contested, but Jang was given a third shido and the gold medal went to Kadamboeva. In judo, receiving three shidos in a single match automatically results in a red card,

Korea is tied for second place in the team competition, where the two lowest scores out of each team's three players count toward the team total. At seven-under thanks to Mun and Kim Joo-hyung, Korea is two strokes behind Japan. Mun had one birdie on the front nine but picked up three more on the back nine. Kim Joo-hyung, who traveled right after competing at the Pre

She said she's not aware of any official notice from the WTA. “I want to say that it’s easy for people to relate to wanting to represent their country and wanting to play these types of Olympic Games,” Eala said. She indicated other players have recognized the conflict and supported her. One seems to be Zhang Shuai of China, No. 57 on the WTA rankings. Eala is No. 18. “It is incredible that the two competitions are in the same weeks," Zhang said. “Some of the previous competitions have been like this. Last week, the Billie Jean King Cup was in the same week as the Singapore and Seoul competitions. “That’s life," Zhang added. "If two things are very important to you, or if they’re both very important tournaments, you can choose one of them." Eala has made her choice.

NAGOYA, Japan — A gold medal for two South Korean golfers at the Asian Games would mean more than a chunk of metal to dangle around their necks. For Kim Joo-hyung and Kim Seong-hyeon, winning gold at the Asian Games — in the men's individual or team event — would excuse them from mandatory military service at home. Kim Joo-hyung goes by Tom Kim when he plays on the PGA Tour, and Kim Seong-hyeon goes by S.H. Kim. Under any name, they got a good start in the first round on Wednesday toward landing the exemption. The final round is Saturday. “I am 100% nervous,” S.H. Kim said. “A lot of pressure.” He added he's struggling with knee and back injuries and was not optimistic about his chances in the individual event. “Team gold is easier,” he said. Japan led the men's team competition after the first round, with South Korea and China two strokes behind. In the individual event, Wang Wei-hsuan of Taiwan and Kazuki Higa of Japan were tied at 5-under 65 atop the leaderboard at Kasugi Country Club. Mun Do-yeob, the third member of the South Korea team, was tied with four others at 4-under 66. Unlike his teammates, 35-year-old Mun doesn't need the exemption. In South Korea most men serve 18-21 months of military service. “I already finished my military service so I don’t really think about the military (exemption)," Mun said. “But I want to play good, so we make our team get a gold medal... to make sure they don't go to the military.” The format is 72 holes of stroke play. The teams are made up of three players, but only the best two scores count each day toward the team total. Mun led South Korea with a 66 and Tom Kim shot 67. S.H. Kim shot a 68, so his score was excluded from the team total of 133. Japan was in at 131 with Higa's 65 and a 66 by Keita Nakajima. “I went to the military really early,” Mun said. “It gave me a lot of experience, but I was lucky that I could play a little bit of golf at the army. Maybe three times a week. “I was teaching golf and I was picking up the golf balls from the generals’ driving range. But now they don’t have those kind of (assignments).”
