Dutch cyclist Fabio Jakobsen suffers horrifying crash at Tour of Poland, fights for life

A frightening scene played out at the finish line of the first stage of the Tour of Poland in the city of Katowice on Wednesday that resulted in a horrible crash that left Dutch cyclist Fabio Jakobsen fighting for his life.

Jakobsen was riding along the edge of the straightaway on a downhill slope when fellow Dutch cyclist Dylan Groenewegen began to lean towards him as they approached the finish line. Jakobsen lost his balance and crashed through a security barrier, causing him to flip over and fall hard on the pavement.

This is the worst crash I’ve seen in a long time. I’m not religious but I’m Praying hard for @FabioJakobsen right now #tourofpoland pic.twitter.com/4TCuUVDU4V

According to Fox News, Jakobsen is currently in a coma after having five hours of surgery on his head and face after the crash.

UPDATE 8/7: As of Friday, according to the AP, Jakobsen is in good condition. He is responsive, breathing on his own, and is able to move his limbs. He sustained extensive bruises to his chest and will need physical therapy, but is expected to leave the hospital in two weeks. All things considered, that is excellent news.

Lakers fan gets virtual high-five from Lil Wayne

Rapper Lil Wayne made an appearance as a virtual Los Angeles Lakers fan during Wednesday night's NBA Restart game in Orlando as the Lakers faced the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Lil Wayne seemed to get a kick out of watching himself in the "stands" and managed to get the attention of the fan "sitting" next to him on screen to give a virtual "high-five".

Unfortunately, Lil Wayne wasn't enough to inspire a Lakers win as the Thunder came away with the 105-86 victory. However, the Lakers can relax after already having sealed the top seed in the Western Conference heading into the NBA Playoffs.

Nick Ritchie loses tooth during scrum, really wants it back

Boston Bruins left winger Nick Ritchie made sure to do everything in his power to get his tooth back after losing it during a scrum in Wednesday night's NHL Eastern Conference round robin qualifier game against Tampa Bay.

It happened just before the end of the second period as Ritchie and Bruins forward Anders Bjork teamed up to check Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh into the boards, with Ritchie checking McDonagh from behind. McDonagh got up and punched Ritchie, knocking his tooth out. After the scrum was broken up, Ritchie realized his tooth was missing, but he was guided towards the locker room by an official before he had a chance to find it.

The tooth remained on the ice, but Ritchie came back out with Bruins backup goaltender Jaroslav Halak while the zamboni was out on the ice during the second intermission.

Ritchie was fortunate enough to get his tooth back, but the Bruins lost the game 3-2.

Elias Pettersson clocks Ryan Hartman in back of head

It happened with just over three minutes left in the third period as Hartman and Pettersson were chasing the puck in the Wild zone along the boards.

Hartman was down on the ice for a while before being taken to the locker room. Meanwhile, Pettersson was not called for a penalty.

The Canucks won the game 4-3 to tie the series at one game apiece.

Tucker Poolman blocks shot with his face vs Flames

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Tucker Poolman took a puck to the face as he sacrificed himself to block a shot during Tuesday's Game 3 of their NHL Western Conference Qualifier series against Calgary.

It happened in the second period as Flames center Mikael Backlund lined up for a shot on the Jets goal from point blank range. As Poolman fearlessly dropped down to the ice and slid in front of the puck, Backlund attempted to lift the puck with a wrist shot over Poolman. The puck hit Poolman square in the face.

Poolman was taken off the ice and straight to the locker room, with a trail of blood following him. More proof that hockey players are some of the toughest athletes in the world.

It was that kind of game for the Jets as they were beat up by the Flames 6-2. Calgary took a 2-1 lead in the series.

Kyle Clifford destroys Dean Kukan with huge hit

Toronto Maple Leafs left winger Kyle Clifford destroyed Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Dean Kukan with a bone-crushing hit during Tuesday's Game 2 of their NHL Eastern Conference Qualifier series.

It happened just two minutes into the first period as the puck was dumped into the Blue Jackets zone. Kukan took control of the puck and avoided a check attempt by Maple Leafs right winger Kasperi Kapanen, but let the puck get a bit too far ahead of him. Kukan chased the puck down and was able to pass it to a teammate as Clifford was lining him up for the big hit. Clifford launched himself into Kukan and absolutely crushed him.

No penalty was called. Kukan was slow to get up and headed to the locker room after ending his shift. He did return briefly later in the game, but finished with only seven and a half minutes of ice time.

It was that kind of game for the Blue Jackets as the Maple Leafs won the game 3-0 to even the series at one game apiece.

Zion Williamson dishes incredible assist to Lonzo Ball vs. Jazz

New Orleans Pelicans rookie phenom Zion Williamson continued to impress during Thursday night's game against Utah as the NBA restarted its regular season Tuesday night, highlighted by an incredible assist to teammate Lonzo Ball.

It happened in the third quarter with the Pelicans holding a 63-57 lead after a defensive stop. The Pelicans went on a fast break, with Ball and Williamson taking the lead. Williamson took a pass from teammate Jrue Holiday, then dropped the dime to the wide-open Ball for the easy layup.

Williamson was limited to 15 minutes, scoring 13 points on 6-8 shooting. Unfortunately, Williamson wasn't allowed to play during crunch time at the end of the game, and his efforts weren't enough as the Jazz beat the Pelicans 106-104.
