This conspiracy theory is more believable. Kyrie Irving took a shot at the Warriors for playing Kevin Durant in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, only to have him rupture his Achilles and possibly miss the entire 2019-’20 season. “A lot of people have responsibilities for why that happen on a national stage. We all...

Lance Thomas is crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge. The 6-foot-8 forward, who spent the last four-and-a-half seasons with the Knicks before he was waived in June, signed with the Nets on Friday. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. Thomas’ signing comes amid reports of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant pushing for the Nets...

New team, new agent, new freedom. In an interview on Adrian Wojnarowski’s ESPN podcast, Lonzo Ball explained that there is no serious rift with his father, LaVar, but he is enjoying a little more freedom. Ball was traded from the Lakers to the Pelicans this offseason and switched agents to CAA. “What makes it easier...

ARLINGTON, Texas — Hal Steinbrenner doled out high praise for his manager, coaches and players Thursday in Tampa, where he observed the Yankees’ Instructional League program. “We faced a significant amount of adversity this year,” Steinbrenner told the Associated Press of the excessive amount of injuries that didn’t keep the Yankees from winning the AL...

ARLINGTON, Texas — Eventually the Yankees will have to set their starting rotation for the ALDS that starts Oct. 4 at Yankee Stadium. With James Paxton, Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka set to face the Rangers in the final three games of the regular season, it’s not hard to guess how the Yankees will go...

Mickey Callaway hasn’t heard from team brass about his status for next season, but said Thursday he doesn’t deem it imperative to know anything before the season’s conclusion. The Mets manager is under contract through 2020, but is hardly on sure footing after a season in which the team will miss the postseason despite a...

MSG Network analyst Joe Micheletti talks with The Post’s Justin Terranova about the Rangers’ potential, New York’s impending love affair with Kaapo Kakko, and what will make or break Jack Hughes’ rookie season. Q: How difficult is it to lay out expectations for this Rangers team after so many changes? A: They added some certainties....

The rest of the NFL may not have been laughing at the Giants these past five seasons, but it has certainly felt that way. It is a stretch that included 31 wins, 49 losses and one playoff game that is best remembered for a boat trip and a wall punch. “Here’s the thing that I’ve...

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Nigel Bradham picked off Aaron Rodgers’ pass in the end zone with 20 seconds left, Jordan Howard gashed Green Bay for his second career three-touchdown game and the Philadelphia Eagles ended a two-game losing streak with 34-27 victory over the Packers on Thursday night. Howard finished with 15 carries for 87...

It is understood Fred Wilpon wanted to come as close as possible to replicating the Ebbets Field aura while overseeing the construction of the ballpark that replaced Shea Stadium in 2009. Perhaps less understood is that the Mets have been trying for years to replicate the starting rotation that took the team to the 1969...

ARLINGTON, Texas — Mike Minor finally got the 200th strikeout he wanted so badly, on a borderline pitch right after the Texas Rangers purposely let a foul pop drop in the ninth inning. “It’s just an accomplishment that I was looking at this past offseason of wanting to improve on this year,” Minor said after...

Reminders come along every now and again, raising memories of the past and giving perspective to the present. Kind of like that high-pitched squeal — “Go! Go! Go!” — coming from behind the bench and echoing around the Garden. But that signature sound emanating from Alain Vigneault was coming from the visitors’ bench on Thursday...

The Post’s Brian Lewis takes a look at the Nets’ training camp roster for this highly anticipated season: Pos, Player, Age, Ht., Wt. F, Deng Adel, 22, 6-7, 200 Played 19 games with the Cavaliers last year, but the lanky ex-Louisville man spent most of the season in the G-League and will get honed in...

Jabrill Peppers knows what the Giants’ defense has to do to help Daniel Jones. Doing it will be the hard part. The Giants (1-2) have buried themselves on defense in the first-half of each of their first three games, forcing the offense to play catch-up. That has to change, otherwise Jones is going to have...

After the Nets overachieved their way into a surprising playoff berth last season, they’ve raised their talent level — and the bar. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan were added in one surreal swoop on June 30, giving a yeoman’s team sudden star power. But if they plan to win — and with this...

Zack Wheeler’s possible farewell performance for the Mets lasted one inning too long, but it was hardly a catastrophe. After firing seven shutout innings and delivering a go-ahead RBI single Thursday night, Wheeler returned to pitch the eighth and finally caved to the Marlins. Curtis Granderson’s tie-breaking homer became the dagger in the Mets’ 4-2...
