Son: Deion Sanders making 'progress' amid health issue

June 22 - Colorado football coach Deion Sanders is improving in his battle with an unspecified health condition, his eldest son said.
Deion Sanders Jr. posted a video of his father fishing at his Texas estate to YouTube on Saturday.
"It's a beautiful thing," Deion Sanders Jr. says in the video. "Coach Prime back active, moving around. God is great. Not back active moving around, but it's progress."
In the video, the elder Sanders, 57, is shown driving the fishing boat, which also counts former Colorado star and Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter among the passengers.
Neither Sanders nor Colorado officials have given specifics about the nature of the health issue the coach is facing. He has been away from Boulder, missing annual youth camps he normally would have attended. He is scheduled to attend a Big 12 preseason media event on July 9 in Frisco, Texas.
Sanders addressed his health in a social media post on June 11.
"I can assure you all that everything is OK and will continue to be so," he posted to X. .".. I'm excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program. When we arrive back to Boulder you will be updated on everything."
It is unclear when Sanders will return to the Buffaloes.
A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Sanders required multiple surgeries for persistent blood clots in recent years. He had two toes amputated in 2021 to address clotting issues.

Fresh frustration for Caitlin Clark as she struggles and Indiana Fever lose AGAIN

In the four games she's played since her return, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark won the two matchups in the Commissioner's Cup against the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun. But in regular-season league play, Clark has now lost back-to-back contests as she continues to struggle since coming back from a quad injury. After only putting up 11 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists while shooting 3-for-14 against the expansion Golden State Valkyries, Clark struggled mightily again on Sunday afternoon. Clark shot a horrendous 1-for-10 from 3-point range and turned the ball over eight times in an 89-81 defeat to the Las Vegas Aces. She finished with 19 points and ten assists, but her shooting woes continued from the game prior - this time, going 7-for-20 from the field. Even one of her biggest fans, Dave Portnoy, admitted that the Fever guard is in need of a 'bounce back'. CC Stat line doesn't tell the story. Great couple games for Caitlin haters,' Portnoy posted on X. He also called the second half Clark played, 'As bad a half as I've seen her have.' Clark struggled in the first half, shooting 2-of-9 from the field and 1-of-5 from 3-point range, but dished eight assists while only committing two turnovers. The second half was a nightmare for her, as Clark shot 5-for-11 from the field and 0-for-5 from 3-point range while turning the ball over six times and putting up a -12 defensive rating. Portnoy continued: 'When she's off it's really hard for them to win. Turnovers. Bad shooting. The works. Lone bright spot. Aliyah [Boston] was great. Gotta bounce back.' Boston led the Fever with 26 points and ten rebounds. Aces star A'ja Wilson also struggled on the day, despite leading Las Vegas with 24 points. She shot 8-of-21 from the field. But she also had the benefit of some strong performances from Jackie Young (19 points, seven rebounds, seven assists) and Chelsea Gray (18 points on 66 percent shooting). Indiana is now 6-7 on the season. They next travel to the Pacific Northwest to play the Seattle Storm on Tuesday.

Real coach Alonso backs Ruediger after he suffered alleged racist abuse

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, June 22 (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said he believed Antonio Ruediger when the player told him he was a victim of racist abuse during their 3-1 win against Mexican side Pachuca at the Club World Cup on Sunday. Referee Ramon Abatti crossed his forearms in front of his chest, which signals the activation of the anti-racism protocol, five minutes into stoppage time after a brief scuffle erupted following an apparent foul on Germany international Ruediger. Asked if Ruediger had been the victim of racism during the game, Alonso told a press conference: "That's what Ruediger said, and we believe him. "It is important to have zero tolerance in these kinds of situations. FIFA now is investigating. That's all I can say." It was not immediately clear whether the alleged abuse came from the crowd or an opponent. Soccer's governing body FIFA was not immediately in a position to clarify the incident when contacted by Reuters.
