Guard stretchered off court after apparent serious injury
Team will learn more about status on Monday
Shai-Gilgeous Alexander scored 34 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder stayed undefeated but they lost All-Star guard Jalen Williams to what appeared to be a serious leg injury during their 108-101 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.
Oklahoma City won their third straight game to start the season but lost three players to injury, including Williams, who went down hard on a drive to the basket with 1:14 left. The guard’s left leg gave way as he landed and his foot bent at an unnatural angle. The 25-year-old left the court on a stretcher with towels covering his injured leg. He covered his mouth with his hands when he looked down at the injury while Gilgeous-Alexander and players on both teams appeared to be in shock.
Les Pionniers du Cégep de Rimouski en hockey ont signé deux victoires devant leurs partisans en fin de semaine.
Samedi, ils ont disposé des Dragons du Collège Laflèche par la marque de 7-5. Maxence Bouchard s’est mis en évidence avec quatre buts et une passe. Étienne Roy, Olivier Blanchette et Émile Vachon ont complété. Mathieu Albert (26 arrêts) est le gardien gagnant.

Les Pionniers du Cégep de Rimouski en hockey ont signé deux victoires devant leurs partisans en fin de semaine.
Samedi, ils ont disposé des Dragons du Collège Laflèche par la marque de 7-5. Maxence Bouchard s’est mis en évidence avec quatre buts et une passe. Étienne Roy, Olivier Blanchette et Émile Vachon ont complété. Mathieu Albert (26 arrêts) est le gardien gagnant.
« Malgré un creux de vague en deuxième période, nous avons réussi à redresser la barre et aller chercher une victoire très importante. Excellente performance de Maxence Bouchard avec 4 buts et une passe », mentionne Nicholas Duchesne.
Dimanche, sa formation a de nouveau un bon match en offensive dans un gain de 6-4 sur les Filons de Thetford. Le gardien Nicolas Gervais enregistre la victoire à son dossier avec ses 23 arrêts.
Les buts sont allés à Emerick Ellyson (2), Gabriel Dumais, Xavier Tremblay, Maxence Bouchard et Émile Vachon.
« Un bel effort de groupe. Les unités spéciales ont fait le travail et notre gardien a sorti de gros arrêts aux bons moments. C’était un match émotif et nous avons réussi à demeurer en contrôle pendant les 60 minutes. Nous avons fait un pas dans la bonne direction en fin de semaine, c’est encourageant », estime l’entraineur-chef.
Pionnières
Dimanche, les Pionnières ont perdu 5-2 contre Drummondville. Sara-Ève Lever et Katherine Champagne ont marqué pour la formation rimouskoise dont le filet était défendu par Ariel Fortin.
« Un match en deux temps. Après une première période partagée, nous tirions de l’arrière 2-1. En deuxième, nous avons eu une excellente période et avons créé l’égalité. Mais, un but ans les cinq dernières minutes nous a coupé les jambes pour le reste du match », explique Jean-François Duchesne.
À venir
Les deux équipes sont sur la route en fin de semaine prochaine. Les Pionnières visiteront Édouard-Montpetit, samedi, et Thetford, dimanche. Pour leur part, les Pionniers joueront à Victoriaville, samedi, et à Sainte-Foy, dimanche.

How will the Kansas City and Seattle fare today? Here is what to know, including kick-off time, TV channels and live stream options
Sunday Night Footballthis week is a blockbuster. The Chiefs take their undefeated record to Seattle, where the defending-champ Seahawks should have an early sense of urgency. Mike Macdonald’s team enter at 3-3, already a full three games (plus, for now, a tiebreaker) behind the gangbusters 49ers. To have any real shot at a home playoff game — a critical edge in last year’s Super Bowl run — the Seahawks need to get a win against a resurgent Chiefs squad who nothing like the husk they appeared to be down the stretch last season.
In addition to a clash between two marquee franchises, the evening is a homecoming for one of the most important players of the young season: Kenneth Walker III. The Seahawks-turned-Chiefs running back has been key to KC’s offensive revitalization after signing as a free agent following his Super Bowl MVP nod with Seattle. The Chiefs were in the bottom half of the league in rushing yards per carry last year but this season hold a whopping lead over the second-place team, averaging 5.5 yards to the Bills’ 5.1. The 26-year-old Walker is having a career year and has worked his way from “good player” to “maybe the Offensive Player of the Year.”

Les frères, Antoine et Nicolas Simard, entretiennent une passion pour la boxe depuis plusieurs années. Cette flamme est toujours aussi vivante aujourd’hui.

Dominique Fortier, Initiative de journalisme local- La Voix Gaspésienne
Nicolas a 17 ans. Son grand frère en a 19. Les deux pratiquent les arts martiaux depuis qu’ils sont jeunes. L’attrait pour ce style de sport était donc déjà présent.
Toutefois, l’influence est aussi venue d’un endroit bien particulier. « À la maison, nous écoutions beaucoup les films de Rocky. Je dirais que ça vient davantage de là. Et nos parents nous ont encouragé à se lancer dans la boxe », exprime Nicolas.
Les deux frères naviguent dans l’univers de la boxe depuis sept ans. « L’approche est très différente lorsqu’on commence à un jeune âge. Oui, on voit la base de la boxe, mais ça demeure surtout des petits jeux physiques comme la course et les sauts. On ne nous assomme pas avec tous les détails techniques du combat afin de ne pas décourager les plus jeunes », explique Nicolas.
Les élèves n’ont aucune obligation à faire le saut vers les combats. Ils ont la pleine liberté de poursuivre les entraînements sans jamais devoir monter sur un ring dans un cadre compétitif.
D’ailleurs, comme le disent les deux frangins, plusieurs personnes décident de faire de la boxe simplement pour la discipline que ça apporte et la rigueur des entraînements.
« La boxe, c’est bien plus que des coups de poings, c’est beaucoup de cardio et d’exercice. Tous les muscles sont sollicités. Même ceux qu’on ignorait qu’on avait », ajoute le plus jeune des frères.
Antoine a commencé son parcours au sein de l’Académie des Arts martiaux de Matane. Ses études collégiales l’ont toutefois amené à poursuivre ses entraînements au sein du club de boxe de Rimouski.
« J’ai commencé la boxe surtout pour l’entraînent physique, confie Antoine. C’est aussi bon pour le mental. Puis quand j’ai vu Nicolas faire des combats, ça m’a donné le goût d’en faire aussi. J’en ai fait cinq avec le club de Matane puis j’ai poursuivi avec Rimouski. Jusqu’à maintenant, j’ai effectué 14 combats où j’ai décroché quatre victoires. J’ai aussi fait le Québec Open en 2025 où j’ai remporté une médaille d’argent. »
Du côté de Nicolas, il a fait six combats, dont deux victoires, avant de se tourner vers le côté entraîneur. « Je m’apercevais que les combats m’amenaient un haut niveau de stress que je voulais évacuer. En devenant entraîneur, la tension a baissé. C’est pour ça que je me sens maintenant plus à l’aise pour remonter sur le ring à quelques reprises. »
En 2023, Nicolas a participé aux Gants de bronze du Québec où il a décroché une médaille d’argent.
Simard VS Simard?
Jusqu’à maintenant, les deux frères ont combattu lors des mêmes galas, mais ils ne se sont jamais affrontés sur le ring. Puisqu’ils ne sont pas dans la même catégorie, la question ne se posait pas.
Mais hypothétiquement? « Non, je ne me sentirais pas à l’aise de taper sur mon frère », indique Nicolas. Ils se contentent donc de s’entraîner ensemble, mais ça n’ira pas plus loin. Évidemment, les conseils de coach Nico pour son frangin sont toujours les bienvenus.
On pourra quand même voir Nicolas et Antoine sur le ring dans les prochains mois. Un gala est prévu à Saint-Anaclet en novembre et un autre à Amqui en décembre. Il y aura aussi le super gala de boxe de Matane en 2027 où on verra possiblement un ou les deux frères Simard sur le ring.
Ce que la boxe leur a apporté
Pour Antoine, la boxe a été une grande source de défoulement. « Ça m’aide à faire réduire mon stress. En période d’examen à l’école par exemple, ça me permet de penser à autre chose et de me mettre dans un état d’esprit plus calme. »
Le grand frère ajoute que la boxe l’a toujours aidé à repousser ses limites. « Ça me pousse à toujours vouloir m’améliorer et en faire un peu plus. »
Pour Nicolas, les valeurs véhiculées en coulisses lui parlent beaucoup. « Je pense au respect qui est très présent. Il y a des boxeurs qui vont avoir une attitude dans la vie de tous les jours, mais qui est très différente lorsqu’ils sont dans l’univers de la boxe. Ça nous force aussi à apprendre à encaisser les coups et à se relever; à ne pas arrêter quand ça fait mal. »
Il mentionne aussi que les efforts sont rapidement visibles. « Lorsqu’on travaille sur un aspect et qu’on s’améliore, ça parait tout de suite. Mon cardio est meilleur qu’avant, je suis plus en forme. Mon mental est aussi plus solide. »
Le côté humain joue aussi un rôle important. Les frangins s’entendent pour dire que les rencontres, autant avec les entraîneurs que les autres boxeurs, sont importantes. Ils mentionnent notamment l’apport de l’entraîneur du club de Matane, Fred Coll.
« Pour nous, ça fait partie de nos vies puisqu’on le fait depuis tellement longtemps. On en retire que du positif. Et c’est un sport qui est ouvert à tous. Que ce soit pour l’entraînement, la discipline ou le volet compétitif, la boxe est ouvert à tout le monde, gars et filles, de tous les âges », concluent-ils.

The Dream and Valkyries are tied at 2-2 after four absorbing games. Many in America would rather we revisited the national anthem debate
When Tyler Perry leading lady Crystal Renee took center stage at State Farm Arena to sing the national anthem before the Atlanta Dream’s WNBA finals clash with the Golden State Valkyries on Saturday afternoon, a smattering of photographers, game officials and event security took their familiar places around her as the capacity crowd stood for the flag. The teams, as is now customary, spent that time in their locker rooms. As soon as the lights went back up, the teams returned to the floor to resume their shootarounds. Anyone genuinely invested in the finals would have been unfazed by them briefly stepping away – if they remembered it at all after the Valkyries’ 67-62 win tied the series at two games apiece. But for many watching the game, basketball is beside the point.
Seven years ago, Jay-Z declared that the culture had “moved past kneeling” and similar national anthem protests, seemingly sounding the death knell for an era of sports activism that had helped raise awareness of racial disparities as a broader social movement gathered force. The line cemented his partnership with the NFL as the league bowed to political pressure to crack down on anthem protests, with other major US sports eventually following the NFL’s lead. But rightwing media and politicians never got the memo. They’re still making sports a battleground for patriotism, with basketball as the war’s chief casualty.

A World Series that makes the logical feel novel began on Friday as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1. Of course the Brewers, with their MLB-topping 103 regular-season victories, should be facing the 98-win Rays on the grandest stage. But of course, since these are two of the smallest and lowest-budget franchises in the sport, they shouldn’t.

American Paula Moltzan became the oldest woman to claim her first Alpine skiing World Cup victory on Saturday, pipping Albania’s Lara Colturi by just one-hundredth of a second in a thrilling season-opening giant slalom at Sölden, Austria.
Moltzan, who was fifth after the opening run, produced a superb second descent to finish with a combined time of 2min 14.82sec, narrowly denying her Italian-born Albanian rival, who finished in 2min 14.83sec. Germany’s Emma Aicher completed the podium, 0.52sec behind the Minnesota native.

Former USA team doctor Larry Nassar’s 2018 conviction sparked a global reckoning in gymnastics, yet gymnasts say they are still being let down
It has been 10 years since the Indianapolis Star published allegations of sexual abuse by Larry Nassar, the former team doctor for USA Gymnastics, setting off a chain of events that would lead to a reckoning for the sport. Hundreds of women came forward with their own allegations against Nassar, who also worked at Michigan State University, leading to his conviction and jailing.
The exposure of his crimes sparked a wider investigation into how gymnastics had allowed predators to abuse young athletes around the world. While Nassar was the worst recorded case, it emerged many other countries had questions to answer about the failure to protect victims from not only sexual but physical and emotional abuse. But a decade later, on a large houseboat moored in Rotterdam three tram stops away from the Ahoy Arena, where the World Gymnastics Championships are taking place this week, survivors and advocates raised fears about the slow pace of change.

Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners on second and third to escape a ninth-inning jam as the Milwaukee Brewers held on for a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night.
DeLuca’s strikeout came after Tampa Bay’s Liam Hicks had grounded into an apparent game-ending double play that was overturned after a video review. Replays showed that Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt’s right foot was slightly off the bag when he reached to catch a high throw from second baseman Brice Turang.

« Initialement, le projet était de placer une nouvelle surface par-dessus l‘ancienne, mais le niveau d’humidité est trop élevé. Il faut donc enlever l’ancienne surface pour pouvoir la remplacer par une surface plus épaisse par la suite. Le bris d’usure de la surface existante, plus le taux d’humidité plus élevé que prévu font en sorte que ce n’est pas une option de mettre la nouvelle surface par-dessus l’ancienne. Il a fallu apporter des changements au contrat », explique le maire de Rimouski, Guy Caron.
Le conseil municipal de Rimouski a donc adopté, lundi soir, un ordre de changement au contrat de mise à niveau du bâtiment des Tennis de Rimouski accordé à Construction Albert.
Un peu de retard
« Cela pourrait causer un peu de retard sur l’échéancier, mais on a bon espoir de pouvoir se rattraper », indique monsieur Caron.
La partie arrière de l’enveloppe extérieure du bâtiment devait être presque entièrement remise à neuf et le toit remplacé. Des travaux de conversion de l’éclairage à DEL, de conversion du système de chauffage du propane à l’électricité et des travaux au système de ventilation étaient également prévus.

The NWSL and the NWSL Players Association have reached a settlement to drop the restrictive criteria around the controversial High Impact Player (HIP) rule, allowing any player to earn the league’s highest salaries.
The NWSL introduced the rule late last year, allowing teams to spend an additional $1m above the salary cap to sign star players. Players with the designation had to meet one of eight criteria, ranging from US national team minutes and Ballon d’Or recognition to NWSL Best XI honors to media lists, including the Guardian’s Top 100 and a ranking that ordered athletes by marketability.

Max Verstappen says bumpy track makes drivers ‘suffer’
The Formula One world championship is within reach for Kimi Antonelli at the US Grand Prix in Austin this weekend. But while the young Italian approaches the race intending simply to have fun, there is disquiet among other drivers about the potential long-term health dangers posed by the state of the Texas circuit.
The 20-year-old Antonelli will become Formula One’s youngest world champion if he claims the title at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday, eclipsing Sebastian Vettel’s record from 2010, when the German driver was 23 and Antonelli was four. It is an outside chance, as the Italian has acknowledged. He must win while needing his rivals to endure a poor day. His Mercedes teammate George Russell would have to finish outside the top eight and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton outside the top four.

Whereas for the Rays (who in April were given a 1.1% chance of winning the World Series by FanGraphs) or Brewers (2.1%), the season is already a success, and winning it all would give their fans more pleasure than a Yankees or Dodgers fan could ever experience.

Concacaf on Thursday announced it has approved Haiti’s request to relocate their Nations League quarter-final first leg against the United States on 14 November from Kingston, Jamaica, to Miami in an “exceptional hosting arrangement”. Haiti have been unable to play nominal “home” games within their borders since July 2021, with the United Nations estimating that 90% of the capital of Port-au-Prince – including the national stadium – is controlled by violent gangs.
Haiti’s match, the first leg of a home-and-away series against the US, had been booked for Kingston. The Grenadiers played their 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Curaçao, Aruba and Barbados. However, the Nations League format slated Curaçao and Jamaica to host their matches on the same night as Haiti’s, shunting Haiti to Sabina Park, the home of the Jamaica national team until their current venue opened in 1962. Now a cricket ground, Sabina Park hosted two of Haiti’s Nations League qualifiers.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 4-2 on Tuesday, but the reigning champions lost the best player in last season’s tournament, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. This autumn has seen much lobbying for the Ballon d’Or, with the Georgian a popular choice, despite his absence from the World Cup. He is expected to be out for six months, although Rodri’s comeback from serious injury – he was rested by Barcelona on Tuesday until coming off the bench in the 60th minute – shows it can take far longer than that for players to rediscover their highest level.
