The Golden State Warriors will be without forward Draymond Green for four to six weeks due to a left ankle sprain, according to Andscape's Marc Spears. Green's injury occurred earlier this week during a pickup game at Chase Center. I dodged a bullet and learned that today by the way it's [positively] reacting," Green told Spears. "Even with an MRI you don't see the trend of it immediately. The swelling is down. The Warriors open training camp Tuesday and begin their five-game preseason schedule Oct. 7 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Their regular season tips off Oct. 24 against the Phoenix Suns. Green, 33, signed a four-year, $100 million contract extension in June after playing 73 games for the Warriors last season. He recorded 8.5 points per game last season, his best since 2017-18. He's expected to be an important part of a Golden State team — one that will feature Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and now Chris Paul, who was acquired in a July trade — that is seeking its fifth NBA championship since 2015.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
