SAN FRANCISCO — Gary Payton II will return from his calf strain for the Warriors’ game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night, coach Steve Kerr said.Payton has been out since Nov. 28 when he strained his right calf mid-way through the Warriors’ loss to the Sacramento Kings. The 31-year-old has been out for 17 of the Warriors’ 31 games this year with numerous injuries.The Warriors could use Payton’s stellar on-ball defense, especially against MVP hopeful Luka Doncic. Golden State’s defense as a whole has a middling 115.7 defensive rating with Draymond Green serving an indefinite suspension and Payton sidelined for the majority of the year.“Our defense has not been great lately. We’ve got a lot of issues in terms of staying in our shell,” Kerr said. “Too many holes in the shell on the weak side, back cuts, things like that. Gary is a great defender, good to have him back and we’ll see how to fit him in and who i...

QB Joe Flacco’s improbable comeback with Cleveland has Browns in playoffs, eyeing bigger wins

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:54 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — In a surreal moment seemingly clipped from a Disney movie, Joe Flacco stood on the field and posed for a family photo with his wife, Dana, and their five children as delirious Browns fans serenaded them with chants of “M-V-P, M-V-P.”Welcome to Cleveland.Or in Flacco’s case, Dreamland.Another chapter was added to the NFL’s most improbable story of 2023 Thursday night when Flacco, who stayed in shape in the offseason by throwing passes to his brother, Tom, in New Jersey while waiting — and wondering — if a team would call, led the Browns into the playoffs for just the third time since 1999.That’s right, with a 37-20 win over the New York Jets, the Browns (11-5) clinched a postseason spot while riding the rifle arm of a 38-year-old quarterback who spent most of his career beating them with rival Baltimore.This wasn’t in the script, so to speak. But then again, little has gone as planned in Cleveland this season.The Browns haven’t let signi...
