Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke is in hot water -- the NBA player was arrested Wednesday in Arkansas after a run-in with law enforcement.

Clarke was booked just after 1 PM local time by the Cross County Sheriff’s Department … with the Sheriff saying the 29-year-old is facing allegations of speeding, reckless driving and possession of a controlled substance, according to local reports.

Things are still a bit murky as jail records show Clarke is currently being held on a “CID hold” -- and it’s unclear exactly what formal charges he’ll ultimately face.

Tiger Woods isn't dealing with his DUI troubles alone -- TMZ Sports is told Vanessa Trump is standing by her man as he faces the aftermath of his arrest.

There are reports the golf superstar's latest legal issues have caused a rift in his relationship with Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife ... but we're hearing something entirely different.

Our sources say Tiger and Vanessa have obviously discussed what went down on Friday, March 27 in Florida ... but there's been no fighting, no arguing, and absolutely no talks of breaking up.

Tiger Woods is putting everything on pause … including a role many thought was his for the taking.

The PGA of America made that clear Wednesday … throwing its full support behind Tiger Woods as he steps away to focus on his health ... and announcing the 15-time major champion will not captain Team USA at the 2027 Ryder Cup.

The statement came just a day after Woods revealed he’s “stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health” following his DUI-related arrest last Friday in Florida.

Puka Nacua is getting help this offseason -- the Los Angeles Rams superstar checked into rehab to focus on "personal growth" early last month ... weeks before a woman accused him of biting her during a New Year's Eve outing.

Levi McCathern, Nacua's attorney, tells TMZ Sports Puka's currently at a state-of-the-art holistic care facility in Malibu ... and he's using the time to get in tip-top shape personally and professionally ahead of the season.

McCathern said Nacua will be out in "plenty of time" to make it to Rams OTAs in May ... adding, "Puka is also deeply grateful for the support he has received from his family, friends, Coach [Sean] McVay, and his teammates."

Deontay Wilder has the internet stunned as he detailed how his daughter was conceived ... 'cause the boxing superstar omitted zero details in the extremely graphic story.

The 44-4 heavyweight boxer -- who is scheduled to fight Derek Chisora on April 4th -- was asked about his seven children on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday ... including his daughter, Naeiya, who has a neural tube defect called spina bifida.

Wilder said Naeiya has made a major impact on his life, especially because of the circumstances.

"Her mother tried to set me up to have the baby," Wilder said. "She injected my sperm in her, ran in the bathroom, locked the door, and that's how we had her."

Dayton James Webber -- the quadruple amputee professional cornhole player suspected of fatally shooting another man in his car -- sounds like he's going to argue he was acting in self-defense.

Webber's attorneys telegraphed their defense strategy Wednesday during a bond hearing in Maryland, telling the judge the murder case against Webber was "a clear-cut case of self-defense."

One of the defense lawyers said Webber was "terrified of being killed" and "knew that he had to shoot or be killed." They said he didn't plan to kill the victim, Bradrick Wells, and made a split-second decision to pull the trigger.

WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and his wife, Kaitlyn Frohnapfel, are mourning a tragic loss -- the former World Champion announced the death of their cat, Chaz, on Wednesday.

McIntyre shared a series of photos on his Instagram of himself and his wife with their beloved pet, writing, "You were once in a lifetime, Chaz."

Plenty of fans and his fellow WWE counterparts flooded the comments with love and support for the couple ... including Natalya -- who wrote "Chaz was such a beautiful cat!"

Tiger Woods is going far away to get treatment after his recent DUI arrest -- the golf superstar was granted approval to travel out of the country to receive care ... citing privacy as the main reason.

TMZ Sports has obtained the filing made by attorney Douglas Duncan ... which states Tiger was looking to leave America to "begin comprehensive inpatient treatment."

"Based upon the Defendant's treating physician, the out of country treatment facility recommendation is based upon the Defendant's complex clinical presentation and the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States, as his privacy has been repeatedly compromised."

12:15 PM PDT -- TMZ Sports obtained additional court documents that show Tiger Woods is planning to travel outside the U.S. to get treatment after his recent DUI arrest ... citing privacy as the main reason.

Tiger Woods just scored a small win in court -- and it could mean he’s getting back on the move soon.

A Florida judge has permitted Woods to travel out of state following his recent DUI arrest … signing off on the motion on Wednesday after leaving the decision up to the court’s discretion, according to documents obtained by TMZ Sports.

It’s unclear why Tiger sought permission to travel outside of Florida.

April Fools’ Day had the sports world in a blender Wednesday … with fake comebacks, bogus fight cards and unhinged team announcements flying all over the internet ... and plenty of people got got.

Leading the charge was former NFL star Julian Edelman, who had fans thinking he was dusting off the cleats for a New England Patriots return after posting a slick “Let’s get to work #FoxboroForever” graphic.

Problem is … Edelman retired in 2021 and has repeatedly said he’s staying that way. But hey, toss in a dramatic font and a little nostalgia, and suddenly everyone’s spiraling.

Jaden Ivey isn't going into hiding after getting cut from the Chicago Bulls -- he spoke at length on several topics Tuesday night ... claiming he never engaged in conduct "detrimental" to the team, while also opening up on his past struggles with mental health.

Ivey -- who sparked controversy for his social media videos opposing NBA Pride Night events this week -- joined the "PinPoint Podcast" just over 24 hours after he lost his job.

Ivey stated his beliefs are rooted in his religion ... and God has helped him through some of his biggest challenges ... like when he contemplated taking his own life.

"I've almost committed suicide multiple times, and I’m not ashamed to say it," Ivey said. "I’m not ashamed because God was merciful to keep me here."

Tuesday night marked the 2026 MLB debut for Shohei Ohtani ... but he was arguably the second biggest attraction at the stadium that night -- 'cause it was Yoshi bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium, and fans lined up for hours to get their hands on 'em!

Videos shared on social media show lines snaking around Chavez Ravine as fans tried to scoop up one of the 40,000 Yoshis being given away for the price of admission.

White influencer Lauren Blake is breaking her silence after getting called out for putting her face on a black model's body for likes ... claiming she had no idea A.I. ripped the image from someone else.

Social media exploded earlier this week ... when Tatiana Elizabeth discovered her pic from the U.S. Open in 2024 popped up again on Blake's page, which boasts 1.6 million followers.

Blake's post was almost identical -- even the clothes and accessories match -- except she put her own face on Elizabeth's body and changed the location to Miami, as if she was at the Miami Open earlier this month.

Former Wisconsin tight end Jack Pugh -- a once highly touted recruit who bravely opened up about his struggles off the field -- has died at 25 years old.

The Badgers announced the news Tuesday, saying Pugh -- who spent three years in the program -- was “a positive light” and someone who truly cared about others … adding teammates and staff deeply loved him.

Pugh arrived in Madison as a four-star prospect in the 2021 class, despite being relatively new to football. The Ohio native didn’t even play the sport until his junior year at Hilliard Bradley High School … but still racked up offers from powerhouse programs like Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State.

But behind the scenes, Pugh was fighting a much tougher battle.

Braylon Mullins is being hailed as a hero at UCONN after burying the game-winning three-pointer against Duke ... and despite it being one of the most epic comebacks ever, his high school coach says the result came as no surprise, calling his former player a "bad MOFO!"

Coach Meredith, who says he views Mullins as his third son, told us his former star player has made "that shot thousands of times," living up to the nickname he gave him back in the day.
