Josh Hamilton Talks About His Return To Anaheim

Sam Malinski didn’t need a heart-to-heart, in-depth meeting. He got the message. Malinski, a healthy scratch for the past three games, returns to the lineup Wednesday night in a pivotal Central Division showdown against the Winnipeg Jets at Ball Arena. “He’s back in because we just got a handful of games and he’s taken a break and had a reset,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said.

The accolades keep coming for Pat Surtain II. The Broncos star cornerback was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year by the Pro Football Writers of America on Wednesday. He is the first Denver player and fourth cornerback to win the award since it was instituted in 1992. Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, the first quarterback in league history to record more than 4,000 yards passing and 800 yards rushing in a season, was named the PFWA’s Most Valuable Player.

After Joel Embiid missed the 76ers’ annual road game in Denver for the fifth consecutive season on Tuesday, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic dismissed questions about his counterpart’s absences. “I really don’t care who is on the other side. I just want to win. So it’s not something that I’m thinking about.
