USA women's basketball schedule: How to watch every 2024 Olympic team game from Paris

The Associated Press

VILLENEUVE-D’ASCQ, France (AP) — Australia will play the 2024 Olympics without forward Bec Allen after tests revealed a high-grade hamstring injury suffered in the Opals’ final warmup for the Paris Games.  The Opals announced the injury Thursday after their practice at Pierre-Mauroy Stadium. The Phoenix Mercury player had been set to play in her second Olympics. She has been replaced by Amy Atwell, who will be making her Olympic debut.  Coach Sandy Brondello, who coaches the WNBA’s New York Liberty, called Allen a hard player to replace and wished the 6-foot-2 forward from Melbourne, Australia, a speedy recovery.  “We are absolutely devastated for Bec being ruled out today on the eve of the Games,” Brondello told The Associated Press via text. “She is such an important player for us and will be sorely missed. Injuries are a part of the game unfortunately, so all players will need to do a little bit more to cover for her absence.”

The U.S. women’s national team dominated its Olympic opener, defeating Zambia 3-0 in Nice, France, in a vintage display of control and offensive pressure. It was a much needed moment to instill confidence in the team as they head into their next group stage game against Germany. The frontline firepower on display early in Thursday’s match stood in stark contrast to last week’s scoreless draw against Costa Rica that sent the team off to the Summer Games, and should inspire optimism as the tournament gets underway.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

The casual baseball eye might not detect it, but the Los Angeles Dodgers have had a clown car full of players hit the injured list this season. At 61-42, Los Angeles leads the NL West despite nearly all their MLB starting rotation hitting the shelf at one point this season. However, on Wednesday, the Dodgers welcomed back ace Tyler Glasnow after a short IL stint, with the lengthy righty (who looks just like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders) throwing five innings of one-run ball.
