Max Strus makes his Clippers debut on Monday night, logging 11 points, six assists and four rebounds in 23 minutes of a 125-118 loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Paul Quantrill
On November 3, 2026 Pinstripe Alley honors former Yankee reliever Paul Quantrill, born Nov. 3, 1968 in Ontario. After debuting with Boston in 1992, Quantrill forged a 14‑year MLB career, most notably as a workhorse out of the Toronto bullpen (league‑leading appearances in 2001) and later with the Yankees, where he logged 86 games in 2004 and posted a 3.26 ERA before fatigue surged, culminating in a costly walk‑off home run to David Ortiz in the ALCS. He finished his stint with brief stops in San Diego and Miami, and also represented Canada internationally.
