Tyrese Haliburton is set to have an MRI on his left hamstring on Tuesday after the Indiana Pacers point guard was carried off the court by teammates following a difficult fall in Monday's victory over the visiting Boston Celtics.

Victor Wembanyama, France's top export, is poised to replace wine as France's top export, a 7-foot-4 basketball sensation.

Terry Holland, who boosted Virginia basketball to national prominence in 16 years as coach and later in a distinguished career as an athletic administrator, has retired, according to the school. He was 80 years old when he died. Holland died on Sunday night, according to the school, who announced his family's death. Since being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2019, his health has deteriorated, and he has stopped playing a prominent courtside seat at Virginia home games. In 1974, Holland took over a flailing scheme. Holland had just three winning seasons in 21 years, and the Cavaliers had a tradition that was a recipe for success: his Cavaliers played a tenacious defense.
