The Oregon Ducks legend announced last week a new career move, join- ing Thirty Five Ventures co-founder Kevin Durant’s business venture, Boardroom, with a new partnership with the orga- nization and positioning her as an ambassador for the sports business media network. “Ionescu will provide an inside look at growing her own business portfolio off the court and her unique insights on brand partnerships like State Farm and Nike,” Boardroom said in a post on its website. “She’ll work with Boardroom on content, events, and editorial, includ- ing a collaboration with Thirty Five Ventures co-founder Kevin Durant.” Ionescu will also become a strategic partner to Thirty Five Ventures, “giving her visibility and access to venture capital partners and key stakeholders in the organiza- tion’s network while further growing her personal portfolio.” Former Michigan State basketball star charged with murder — A former captain of the Michigan State Univer- sity basketball team was charged with murder Monday in the fatal shooting of a man in Detroit, authorities said. Keith Ap- pling, 29, is accused of killing Clyde Edmonds, 66, on May 22. “It is alleged that Appling had an argument with Mr. Ed- monds over a handgun, and he fatally shot the victim multi- ple times before he fled the scene,” the Wayne County pros- ecutor’s office said. Appling’s mother and the victim’s wife are cousins. Appling has been in custody since his arrest on May 24. Separately, he is charged with assault in Jackson for an incident on May 2. It wasn’t immediately known if he has a lawyer who could comment. Appling, a prep star at Detroit Pershing, played for Michigan State from 2010 to 2014. KAYAKING Hawaii-bound kayaker rescued by Coast Guard off Cal- ifornia — A kayaker hoping to paddle solo from California to Hawaii was rescued six days after he set out by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter amid rough seas and high winds. Cyril Der- reumaux endured several problems with his 23-foot (7-meter) kayak, but when he lost his sea anchor he said he knew he had to cut his adventure short. After consulting with his land crew, Derreumaux phoned the Coast Guard for a rescue Saturday night about 70 miles (113 km) west of Santa Cruz. A diver was lowered from a helicopter into the water and helped hoist Der- reumaux up. In addition to losing the anchor, the kayak’s an- chor lines had become entangled in the rudder, the GPS wasn’t functioning properly and Derreumaux was seasick while pum- meled with 12-foot 3.6-meter) waves. Derreumaux set out May 31 from Sausalito, California, and expected the Pacific voyage to take about 70 days. He prepared for the trip for three years. BOXING Chad Johnson survives knockdown in boxing debut vs. Maxwell — Chad Johnson was put on the ground, but survived all four rounds and made it to the end of his exhibi- tion boxing debut on Sunday night. The former NFL and Or- egon State star faced professional fighter Brian Maxwell in a cruiserweight matchup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami that was featured leading up to the pay-per-view event of Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight didn’t include judges, nor was a winner declared. Johnson, 43, was smiling early on, but the matchup picked up steam and got more intense as it wore on. In the fourth round, Maxwell got Johnson with a clean knockdown courtesy of his right hand. The six-time Pro Bowler was still able to maintain a solid jab throughout the fight while showing off his fast feet that made him a star .

He can play the boundary, he can play the field, can play man cov- erage, drop back there in zone, run the alley, make plays, get guys on the ground.” Starter James probably could have played more over the past two seasons, but the learning curve also would’ve left him exposed to some tough lessons.

As listed at OregonLottery.org and individual lottery websites Ryan Wrobleski started the fireworks with a two-run home run in the sixth inning, putting a dent in the Beavers’ 5-0 edge. Then, an inning later, Andrew Benefield stuck an emphatic fork in the Bea- vers’ lead, crushing a towering grand slam deep to left field.

COLLEGE alaBaMa — agreed to terms with head coach nick saban on a three-year contract extension through the 2029 season. ing his understanding and situ- ational awareness. “Everything about where I’m at on the field and understand- ing the college game instead of high school because it’s a big difference,” James said. “I had to adjust to that and my coaches helped me.” Just as Wright was the more targeted corner than Lenoir last season, James will now be the relative novice that opposing of- fenses will test. “Those two young pros- pects are very good players with very good skill sets,” cor- nerbacks coach Rod Chance said. “Now it’s about adding the body strength, the play strength and really for DJ the confi- dence. It’s easy to be confident when you’ve played 936 snaps, which I believe is Mykael’s snap count. DJ is at 256 snaps since he’s been here. I think having that many snaps under his belt is helpful but imagine when he gets to 500-600 snaps when there’s not a situation that he hasn’t seen.” been defense. The team’s de- fensive rating was 29th in the league. “It’s not acceptable,” he said. “At 29th, you are finishing be- low teams that are literally in rebuild.” The new coach will certainly be lured by the chance to work with one of the game’s dynamic scorers in Lillard. Olshey said Lillard will have input in the decision. Lillard fueled speculation about his own future in Port- land following the elimina- tion loss to the Nuggets. He posted a photo of himself in street clothes at the Moda Cen- ter. The caption that he added quoted the late rapper and ac- tivist Nipsey Hussle. “How long should I stay ded- icated?” he wrote. “How long til opportunity meet prepara- tion?” Lillard averaged a league- best 34.3 points and 10.2 assists in the playoffs, after averag- ing 28.8 points and 7.5 assists during the regular season. A six-time All-Star, Lillard just wrapped up his ninth NBA season. The closest he’s come to a title was that quick trip to the West finals in 2019. Olshey responded to a ques- tion about his own job security, given his hand in building the team. “Well, I’m running the coaching search. I have multi- ple years left on my contract. I think the feeling is that in this instance, while in the past there might have been questions, the first-round loss and the defen- sive rating at 29 was not a prod- uct of the roster,” Olshey said. “I will tell you that all of us, myself included, serve at the pleasure of Jody Allen and we will all be here for as long as she sees value in our contribution.” The jaw-dropping blast, which came on reliever Joey Mundt’s first pitch, gave the Patriots a 6-5 lead and flipped a seemingly one-sided game on its head. In the eighth, River Town delivered the dag- ger, hitting a two-run home run that barely cleared right field. After fighting through the losers’ bracket with three wins in elimination games, the Bea- vers finally ran out of gas. In the ninth, Garret Forrester drew a one-out walk and Ryan Ober hit a sharp two-out sin- gle up the middle to bring the tying run to the plate. But Andy Armstrong grounded out to shortstop to end the game — and the sea- son — for OSU. The Beavers walked 10 with three hit batters. Dallas Baptist (40-16) ad- vanced to its second super regional in program history, with the last coming in 2011. Wrobleski finished 7 for 10 in the regional tournament with two homers. Zane Russell picked up his first win of the season by pitching 4 1/3 innings of score- less relief. Backup Dontae Manning missed last season due to injury and will got his most significant action in the spring. He had four tack- les and an interception during the spring game. “He’s a great athlete, really beginning to learn the position and these reps have been valu- able for him,” Chance said. “I think that once he gets these reps under his belt and also the summer program we’re going to see a continual jump in terms of his learning development and also his position-specific move- ment.” Manning is vying for a spot on the two deep and most likely the No. 3 outside corner, mak- ing him likely to see 20-plus snaps per game on defense alone. Next wave Jaylin Davies enrolled early and went through spring prac- tice, giving him a leg up in com- petition to be on the two-deep or at least get into the rotation. Whether he’ll end up at field or boundary corner will be settled during fall camp. “To be here as an early en- rollee going through a system (that) is a little bit more detailed coverage wise than we ran here in the past, very proud of where he is right now,” Chance said.
