NHL

The Wings entertain the Flyers tomorrow. Coverage will begin at 6:45 on 99.3 The Lift.

NBA

The Pistons host the Hornets tonight. Cade Cunningham is expected to rejoin the line-up tonight, after missing time with a strained knee. Point guard Monte Morris could also make his season debut this evening, after missing extended time with a couple of injuries. Coverage will start at 6:35 on 99.3 The Lift.

The Bucks have fired head coach Adrian Griffin. With a record of 30-13, the move seems unusual, but many feel Milwaukee has underperformed, especially on defense. Griffin had replaced Mike Budenholzer at the start of the season. Veteran coach Doc Rivers, who has been working with the team as a consultant, could be in line to take over.

MLB

The Brewers have signed free agent first baseman Rhys Hopkins to a two-year contract. Hopkins will make $34 million, assuming he passes a physical. He missed last season rehabbing from a torn ACL. Hoskins hit 30 home runs for the Phillies in 2022, and batted .246.

Longtime Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun will be added to the Brewers’ Walk of Fame this summer.

The Tigers host the Yankees in their Grapefruit League opener a month from today.
