Roma defender Evan Ndicka has suffered a second-degree hamstring lesion that rules him out of the club's final Serie A match and threatens his participation in the 2026 World Cup with Ivory Coast.

18.5.26 NBA: Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons were eliminated in a 125-94 Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cade Cunningham struggled with 13 points on 5-for-16 shooting, including 0-for-7 from three, before exiting early as fans left Little Caesars Arena. Despite the disappointment, coach J.B. Bickerstaff praised his team's effort, refusing to call the season a letdown.

19.5.26 NHL: Minnesota Wild Injuries

Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson will undergo offseason hip surgery, leaving his availability for training camp uncertain. General manager Bill Guerin said the procedure is due to wear and tear rather than a specific playoff injury. Gustavsson struggled late in the season and was replaced by rookie Jesper Wallstedt, who impressed in his postseason debut. Despite Gustavsson's long-term contract, Wallstedt's emergence could make him a valuable trade asset as the Wild pursue a top center.

16.5.26 NHL: Minnesota Wild Injuries

Minnesota Wild veterans Jonas Brodin and Joel Eriksson Ek disclosed they missed the second-round series against Colorado due to broken bones in their feet. Brodin fractured his right big toe blocking a shot in Game 5 against Dallas, requiring surgery, while Eriksson Ek broke his right heel in Game 6 of the same series. Both attempted limited practice but were unable to play as the Wild fell to the Avalanche in overtime of Game 5.

19.5.26 MLB: Texas Rangers Injuries

Texas Rangers pitcher MacKenzie Gore left after one inning in Monday's 7-6 loss to Colorado due to muscle tightness in his back. The issue arose the same day shortstop Corey Seager was placed on the injured list with back inflammation. Gore felt discomfort after diving for a grounder but said it was more like a cramp than a serious injury. Manager Skip Schumaker noted imaging will be done Tuesday. Acquired from Washington in the offseason, Gore is 3-3 with a 4.50 ERA in nine starts this year.

18.5.26 MLB: Houston Astros Injuries

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has been placed on the injured list with a Grade 2 left oblique strain after exiting Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. Manager Joe Espada did not provide a timeline for his return, noting that rookies like Brice Matthews and Braden Shewmake will see more playing time. The Astros, already dealing with 14 players on the injured list, expect Jeremy Pena, Jake Meyers, and Nate Pearson to be activated soon.
