MIAMI GARDENS — Kenneth Grant, the former Michigan run-stuffing nose tackle/defensive tackle who the Miami Dolphins made their first-round pick on Thursday, is tasked with a pressure-filled demand before his NFL career sees its first snap. Grant, to bluntly put things in perspective, is required to be a rock star on a veteran-laden team. Grant, an imposing figure at 6 foot 4, 331 pounds, must anchor the most important draft class in the three-year era of Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel. In fact, it’s not a stretch to think that Grant, depending on his rookie...

TAMPA — Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov left Thursday’s win over the Lightning after taking a big hit from Brandon Hagel, and he did not return before the end of the game. Florida coach Paul Maurice did not provide an update on the star center’s status after the game. Barkov played 15:41 in the victory and recorded an assist on Nate Schmidt’s goal in the first period. Barkov suffered an upper-body injury earlier this month, which kept him out of a pair of games. He returned before the regular season ended. Forward Sam Bennett offered an encouraging thought after the game. “It’s tough to...

Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins’ selection of Kenneth Grant at pick No. 13 in the first round of 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night: Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist I like the pick of defensive tackle/nose tackle Kenneth Grant (6 foot 4, 331 pounds) although I think he might be over-selected at No. 13.

CLEVELAND – For weeks, as their play-in fate became as much of a reality as that of the Cavaliers being the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, all the Miami Heat wanted was an opportunity to get to Cleveland. Now the question is whether they can get back. Far more competitive than in Sunday night’s opener of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference opening-round series, the Heat this time fought to the finish in a 121-112 loss Wednesday night to the Cavaliers at Rocket Arena. Still, the Heat only make it back to the shores of Lake Erie for a Game 5 next Wednesday if they win one of the next...
