Bay FC will play the Washington Spirit in a National Women’s Soccer League match at Oracle Park, home of baseball’s San Francisco Giants.

Bay FC hopes the Aug. 23 match will attract an NWSL record of 40,000-plus fans to the ballpark on the San Francisco Bay.

Bay FC plays its home matches at PayPal Park in San Jose. The team played last year against the Chicago Stars at Wrigley Field, which drew a league-record 35,038 fans.

The game will be broadcast nationally on CBS.

NBA

Thunder 118, Grizzlies 99 >> Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points, and Oklahoma City dominated Memphis to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.

No character style: Jalen Williams added 24 points and Chet Holmgren had 20 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City delivered a strong follow-up to its record-setting 131-80 win on Sunday in the series opener. The Thunder have won all six games against the Grizzlies this season by double digits.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 26 points and Ja Morant added 23 for Memphis, which will host Game 3 on Thursday.

Timberwolves’ Edwards fined $50,000 for obscene gesture >> Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves has been fined $50,000 for directing inappropriate language and making an obscene gesture toward a fan during a playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers, NBA president of league operations Byron Spruell announced.

Edwards intervened when teammate Rudy Gobert was being heckled in the third quarter of the Timberwolves’ 117-95 win in Game 1 of their first-round series on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Edwards, standing along the sideline, told the nearby fan how many millions of dollars Gobert has. The exchange ended with Gobert making a lewd gesture and comment.

The teams played Game 2 on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

Pritchard wins sixth man of the year award >> Payton Pritchard came off the bench and changed games for the Boston Celtics this season.

He was the only player in the NBA with more than 1,000 points in games that he didn’t start. He set the league record for 3-pointers made by a backup. And the voters took notice of all that and more, picking the Celtics guard as the league’s sixth man of the year this season.

Pritchard edged out Detroit’s Malik Beasley and Cleveland’s Ty Jerome for the award.

MLB

Guardians place outfielder Thomas on injured list >> Guardians center fielder Lane Thomas was placed on the 10-day injured list with a bruised right wrist sustained when he got hit by a pitch two weeks ago.

Cleveland made the move — retroactive to April 20 — before facing the New York Yankees in the second game of a three-game series.

To replace Thomas, the club selected the contract of infielder Will Wilson from Triple-A Columbus.

Olympics

Biles undecided on competing at LA Games >> Simone Biles is unsure whether she will compete at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.

For now, the most decorated gymnast of all-time has other priorities and is listening to her body, too.

“I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me,” she said in an interview with French sports daily L’Equipe published on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old American will be in Los Angeles for the Games but does not yet know in which capacity.

“Whether on the apparatus or in the stands, I still don’t know that,” she told L’Equipe. “But 2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris.”

The American gymnast won three gold medals and a silver at the Paris Olympics, taking her career tally to seven Olympic golds and 11 medals overall.

Motor sports

NASCAR’s Legge says she has been receiving death threats >> NASCAR driver Katherine Legge said she has been receiving “hate mail” and “death threats” from auto racing fans after she was involved in a crash that collected veteran driver Kasey Kahne during the Xfinity Series race last weekend at Rockingham.

Legge, who has started four Indy 500s but is a relative novice in stock cars, added during Tuesday’s episode of her “Throttle Therapy” podcast that “the inappropriate social media comments I’ve received aren’t just disturbing, they are unacceptable.”

“Let me be very clear,” the British driver said, “I’m here to race and I’m here to compete, and I won’t tolerate any of these threats to my safety or to my dignity, whether that’s on track or off of it.”

Legge became the first woman in seven years to start a Cup Series race earlier this year at Phoenix.
