Who is Tim Hardaway Sr.'s wife, Yolanda Adkins Hardaway? Exploring their relationship timeline and life together - Sportskeeda

Image
Yolanda Adkins Hardaway is the wife of Tim Hardaway Sr., a former NBA player and the father of Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. The couple also have daughters, Nia and Nina. Little is known about Hardaway Sr.'s wife. She also does not dabble in social media, which helps her keep a very low profile. Yolanda Hardaway is an American who was born in 1975. She dated the basketball superstar way back in college. They got married on May 15, 1993, in a private ceremony surrounded by friends and family. The Hardaway couple have been together for more than 40 years and are still going strong. Yolanda Adkins Hardaway was with Tim Hardaway Sr. at Barclays Center in 2013 for the NBA draft. They were eagerly waiting for Tim Hardaway Jr. to be called on stage. Hardaway Jr.'s parents waited a little longer than they would have preferred as the former Michigan standout was the 24th pick in the said draft. [embedded content] Yolanda Adkins H...

Nuggets coach Michael Malone: No timeline on Aaron Gordon’s return from rib injury - The Denver Post

Image
The Nuggets can't officially find their playoff stride until starting forward Aaron Gordon returns, but when that happens is anyone's guess. Gordon missed his fifth game in a row on Saturday due to a rib contusion and was listed as out for Sunday's back-to-back at home against the Clippers on the team's early injury report. "Honestly, I have no idea (when he'll return)," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said late Saturday night following their blowout loss to the Grizzlies. Gordon wasn't on Denver's two-game road trip to Cleveland and then to Memphis. Instead, he opted to stay back and rehab. "If not (Sunday), hopefully (vs.) Houston, and we'll just keep on giving him enough time to get back to where he's comfortable and confident to go out there and play and play effectively," Malone said. Though it's not a fracture, according to a league source, it's been extremely troublesome nonetheless. "Obviously, he's ...

2022 NFL rookie grades, NFC East: Cowboys, Giants nab cornerstones in trenches with early picks - NFL.com

Image
With the 2022 NFL season now officially in the books, all eyes turn toward the 2023 NFL Draft. But before a new wave of talent hits the league, Eric Edholm and Nick Shook are taking a team-by-team look back at the rookie class of 2022. Related Links Today, Shook examines the NFC East. Total picks: 9 · Record: 12-5 Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Notable free agent signees Tyler Smith was drafted to play left guard next to Tyron Smith, but a preseason injury to the veteran forced the rookie to man left tackle from Week 1. He didn't get a chance to play his intended position until Dallas decided to insert Jason Peters at left tackle and place Tyron Smith at right tackle following a season-ending injury to usual right tackle Terence Steele. In all, the rookie played well, allowing six sacks, per Pro Football Focus, and accounting for close to a dozen penalties. But considering how he was required to adjust his role while getting his feet underneath him as a green b...

Latest on Patrick Kane, Boston Bruins and more trade buzz - ESPN

Image
8:15 AM ET Stacy Revere/Getty Images The NHL trade deadline is March 3, and with just nine days to go, talks are intensifying around the league. Here's what I'm hearing about some dynamics going on behind the scenes... We should get clarity on Kane's decision this week. None of this has been easy for the veteran winger. Kane always envisioned himself retiring as a Blackhawk. It's only been over the past several months -- and maybe even the past several weeks -- that he was forced to accept that that vision might not be realistic anymore. Based on conversations I've had with sources around the league, the behind-the-scenes talks with the Rangers were more advanced than have been reported. There was a path for Kane going to New York, his preferred destination should he leave Chicago, and then suddenly it felt as if it was taken away -- which is why you saw him react so vulnerably to the Vladimir Tarasenko trade. Kane has been upset about the reporting about his hip in...

IHSAA wrestling: State finals PA announcer Kevin Whitehead retires - IndyStar

Image
"His voice is like none other. He has made this sport in Indiana so much better. It's synonymous with the state championships and we all owe Kevin a great deal of gratitude." INDIANAPOLIS – Kevin Whitehead is sitting in the media room at Gainbridge Fieldhouse about four hours from the start of the 85th annual IHSAA state wrestling championships. He's going over a packet containing information and pronunciations of all the wrestlers set to compete under the illustrious spotlight of wrestling's biggest stage. That packet has grown a lot over the years, 42 years to be exact. Whitehead began his involvement with the state wrestling tournament as a scorekeeper before taking over as the full-time announcer in 1983. Whitehead, a former wrestler at Franklin Central, wanted a way to make the matches more personal. He wanted a way to add more flair to the tournament while better highlighting the wrestlers who worked so hard to reach the championship. So he started going aro...

New mobile sports gambling legislation expected this week in North Carolina House - WRAL News

Image
More than 150 bills have been filed in the North Carolina House this session, but bill drafters and lawmakers haven't yet completed work on legislation to legalize sports betting on electronic and mobile devices. Betting on sports is legal in North Carolina at three tribal casinos. Virginia and Tennessee are among the two dozen states to legalize mobile sports gambling. Lawmakers in Georgia, Texas, Missouri and Vermont, among other states, are currently debating legalization. Gov. Roy Cooper, an avid Carolina Hurricanes fan and attendee at Duke-North Carolina men's basketball games in Durham and New Orleans in the last year, has consistently backed sports gambling in recent years. He told reporters last week that he expected the legislation to pass. "We're working with trying to make sure we get good legislation that is fair to the taxpayers, but also recognizes something that is going on anyway," Cooper told reporters. "So we might as well get benefit for ou...

Tottenham vs West Ham final score, highlights and analysis as ... - Sporting News

Image
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM, LONDON — Tottenham moved into the top four with a 2-0 win over London rivals West Ham as Emerson Royal and substitute Son Heung-min scored second-half goals. Emerson notched on his 50th Premier League appearance while Son, who was benched ahead of Richarlison, is now two goals away from becoming the first Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals. In truth, the opening 45 was pretty bleak. After Jarrod Bowen's half-volley went just wide in the first minute of play, we had to wait until the 34th for the first shot on target as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had his effort comfortably saved from distance. It wasn't quite the fiery spectacle a London derby between these two clubs was supposed to be serving up. No handbags, no pushing and shoving, just an Oliver Skipp yellow card for a clumsy tackle on Michail Antonio. There wasn't much oomph or passion on show altogether from either side.  It took until injury-time for the h...
