Jaylen Brown in street clothes? Payton Pritchard slogging through one of his worst shooting nights of the season? Didn’t matter for the Celtics on Tuesday night in Phoenix. Playing without Brown, who sat out with a knee contusion on the first night of a back-to-back, Boston battered the shorthanded Suns 97-81 at the Mortgage Matchup Center to remain perfect on its West Coast road trip. Derrick White led the Celtics with 22 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal. Neemias Queta (14 points, 13 rebounds, two blocks) and Baylor Scheierman (11 points, 11 rebounds) both notched double-doubles.…

The Boston Celtics hope to stay perfect on their West Coast road trip when they take on the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Boston began its trip with dominant wins over the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. It has won three consecutive games and eight of its last nine. On Tuesday, the C’s will be without star Jaylen Brown as he sits out the first game of their back-to-back with a right knee contusion. The Suns will also be short-handed with Devin Booker (fractured hand), Cole Anthony (not injury related), Dillon Brooks (fractured hand), and Haywood Highsmith (knee)…
Whenever the playoffs roll around in any sport, it’s usually easy to pinpoint a championship winner. When it comes to the MIAA girls basketball statewide tournament, however, doing so can be a fickle exercise given the sheer number of possible candidates. There is endless parity across most fields, and this year’s Div. 1 grouping is no exception. Springfield Central (17-3) trounced its competition in Western Massachusetts, and was rewarded with the top seed in the bracket. Zi’yan Wallace and Giavanna Mars look to propel their team on an extended run. Second-ranked Bishop Feehan (17-4) appears poised for another deep postseason…
It’s not often Eliot Wolf meets with reporters for longer than a half-hour like he did Tuesday. First, there was his 15-minute press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine, where most GMs and head coaches stand every year for what is surely their favorite part of the draft process. Then came a side session Wolf granted to local reporters. Naturally, there was a lot to cover. What are the Patriots’ plans for free agency, the trade market and draft? How will he handle Stefon Diggs’ contract? What about the internal free agents? Is Christian Gonzalez getting an extension any time…

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Before the Red Sox signed Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million contract this past winter, the All-Star lefty became renowned for his ability to squash opposing rallies by drawing key double plays in big spots. Tuesday afternoon, Suarez provided an early glimpse of what the Red Sox hope will be many big moments to come. Suarez’s double play to end the top of the first was the highlight of his first start in a Red Sox uniform. The 30-year old allowed two runs on three hits with two strikeouts and no walks over 1.2 innings…
By TALES AZZONI The Winter Paralympics celebrate its 50th anniversary at Milan Cortina, where Ukraine is expected to boycott the opening ceremony as the Russian flag and national anthem make a return to the global sports stage.

The opening ceremony on March 6 at Arena di Verona marks the first time a Paralympic ceremony is held at a UNESCO World Heritage site. The ancient Arena…

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Red Sox manager Alex Cora has not determined what positions Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer will focus on leading into the new season, but he insists a decision isn’t far off. “The sooner the better,” he said. That decision could potentially come this weekend once both players have appeared in a game at second base for the club. Caleb Durbin, who was once again penciled in at third base on Tuesday, is scheduled to start at second for the first time on Thursday, Cora said. Mayer, who is ramping up slowly following last season’s wrist surgery…
It’s that time of year again. To scout and interview prospects, tamper with free agents and dish on everyone else around the NFL. Coaches, executives and agents will descend on Indianapolis this week for the league’s annual scouting combine. Officially, their business is to prepare for this April’s draft, while unofficially everyone will be hunting for intel on an evolving trade market and free agency next month. The Patriots have 11 picks heading into the draft, starting at No. 31 overall, and roughly $36 million to play with in free agency, good for 11th-most in the league, per Over the…
