TENNIS

A pigeon landed on the court during a French Open match, leading the chair umpire to use a towel to rescue the fallen fowl. The pigeon dropped to the red clay at Court Suzanne Lenglen and remained there during a changeover in the fourth set of 2021 U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev’s third-round victory over Tomas Machac on Saturday. Chair umpire Damien Dumusois climbed down from his perch and grabbed a white towel. He approached the bird, which appeared injured and tried hopping away. Dumusois gave chase and eventually used the towel to grab the pigeon with both hands, earning cheers from spectators.

BASKETBALL

The New Orleans Pelicans have opted to wait until 2025 to use the last of the three first-round draft choices they received from the Los Angeles Lakers as part of the 2019 Anthony Davis trade. The decision means the Lakers will retain their selection in the first-round of this year’s draft on June 26, when they are slated to pick 17th overall. It also leaves the Pelicans with only their own first-round pick at No. 21 in this year’s draft.

RACING

Josef Newgarden continued a busy week Saturday with a third-place qualifying run in Detroit and a contract extension with Penske Racing. It has been a wild year for Newgarden and Team Penske.

The three Penske cars were caught with illegal modifications to the push-to-pass engine-boost system.
