Dybantsa draws comparisons to Durant

NEW YORK — For anyone seeking clues in the final hours before the NBA draft, AJ Dybantsa's Father's Day message to his dad apparently wasn't one. In the first of two pictures that went along with the posting on X, Anicet Dybantsa Sr. ("Ace") is holding young AJ in front of the White House. The White House, of course, is in Washington, the home of the team that has the No. 1 pick on Tuesday night. But Dybantsa wasn't revealing anything about the Wizards' intentions. He was just trying to avoid revealing too much of himself. "Actually, it was just a random photo that I found," ...

Even with fans against him, Clark proves himself a winner

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Long before he smashed the locker, won a single trophy or had any inkling he'd play in a U.S. Open one day, golf for Wyndham Clark was a test of patience, will and temperament. So, perhaps it's only right that for Clark to sew up his latest, sweetest triumph, he had ...

Clark keeps composure to triumph

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Wyndham Clark couldn't remember being in a darker place. He was publicly reviled for a moment of petulance when he smashed a locker at Oakmont after missing the cut in the U.S. Open last year. His game, his reputation, he felt it all was slipping away. Sunday at ...
