Dybantsa could be NBA’s next Durant

NEW YORK (AP) — For anyone seeking clues in the final hours before the NBA draft, AJ Dybantsa's Father's Day message to his dad apparently wasn't one. In the first of two pictures that went along with the posting on X, Anicet Dybantsa Sr. ("Ace") is holding young AJ in front of the White House.

MLS keeps legend sharp

ATLANTA (AP) — Lionel Messi's move to America will look like a masterstroke if he leads Argentina to back-to-back World Cup titles.
