Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed Derek Forbort will not be in Boston’s lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden on Monday night.

The Bruins and the Maple Leafs will meet for Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series Monday night at TD Garden.

Patriots de facto general manager Eliot Wolf will have the final say on which players New England selects during the 2024 NFL Draft.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone got a very quick exit from Monday’s game against the Athletics, but it wasn’t his fault — at least not entirely. Home plate Hunter Wendelstedt ejected the New York skipper after just five pitches, a remarkably fast departure even by Boone’s standards. Cameras and microphones, however, paint Boone in a pretty […]

The Bruins’ latest roster move will have no bearing on Jim Montgomery’s lineup decisions for Monday night’s game.

But after the session, Montgomery revealed the […]

If the Boston Bruins advance past the Toronto Maple Leafs and reach the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, head coach Jim Montgomery believes the Black and Gold could add another power forward to their lineup.

Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery is having fun answering (or not answering) the biggest question pertaining to the Black and Gold.

If you ask Charles Barkley, “championship or bust” might be putting it mildly for the Celtics this postseason. Boston ripped through the regular season, securing the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed with ease while posting the NBA’s best record. And the Celtics looked every bit like the league’s elite Sunday when they stomped on the […]

It’s easy to see how Derrick White might be overlooked on a star-studded Celtics team, but the guard’s valuable contributions don’t go unnoticed across the NBA. The Athletic on Monday released its 2024 player poll, and White earned the most votes for the league’s most underrated player. The online publication surveyed 126 players anonymously, and […]

Every member of the Bruins’ fourth line stood out in a positive way Saturday night. John Beecher scored his first Stanley Cup playoff goal and electrified TD Garden early in the first period. Jakub Lauko, meanwhile, put a bow on Boston’s Game 1 win over Toronto by selflessly blocking a shot as time expired. But […]

Corey LaJoie’s finish to Sunday’s Geico 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway is one he probably doesn’t want to experience again. LaJoie was involved in a wild last-lap wreck that involved several cars. His No. 7 Chevrolet flipped, got pinned against the wall and then skidded all the way across the finish line […]

Jayson Tatum’s late-game incident with Caleb Martin overshadowed what the Boston Celtics star did on the floor over the first 47 minutes of the game Sunday. In fact, Tatum put together a performance unlike any other he’s ever had in the NBA playoffs. Tatum registered his first career triple-double in the postseason as he scored […]

The Boston Celtics fan base held their collective breath when Jayson Tatum crashed awkwardly to the floor late in Boston’s Game 1 win on Sunday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora felt strongly that outfielder Wilyer Abreu needed to get more at-bats against right-handers. That was about a week ago.

BOSTON — With barely a minute left in the fourth quarter, the final seconds of an inevitable Celtics’ Game 1 victory over the Heat turned into a collective sigh of concern at TD Garden with all eyes on Jayson Tatum.

BOSTON — After a week filled with eagerness, anticipation, and sweat-pouring practices, the Celtics transferred everything preached beforehand by head coach Joe Mazzulla to make an example of the Heat in Game 1.
