Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Washington Commanders need a bounce-back year from their defense to contend in the NFC East in 2022, unfortunately, they may have to start their quest to rebound without one of their cornerstones on that side of the ball. ESPN’s John Keim wrote earlier this week that it is possible Young, the 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year, will start the 2022 season on injured reserve. That would automatically rule Young out for the first four games of the new campaign. Young tore his ACL in Week 10 of the 2021 season, one in which Washington missed the playoffs with their defense unable to elevate a team forced to play Taylor Heinicke at quarterback into contention for the postseason.

Kai Sotto is looking out for other pathways to the NBA. —ADELAIDE 36ERS PHOTO Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone is hesitant to apply a hackneyed hoop label on NBA hopeful Kai Sotto. “He’s got unique skills,” Cone, who is headed to the NBA Summer League to join the Miami Heat coaching staff, said late Friday night after his team’s 75-72 squeaker over San Miguel Beer that catapulted the Gin Kings to the top of the standings. “He’s if I may say—I won’t call him a unicorn, because that’s kind of reserved for [Washington big man Kristaps] Porzingis and now [Oklahoma City draftee] Chet Holmgren—but I’ll call him a baby unicorn.

These findings reinforce the importance of hand-washing or using disinfecting hand sanitizer after visiting an ATM or handling cash.
