Hilary Knight ties US women’s hockey record for most career Olympic points

MILAN (AP) — Hilary Knight has tied the U.S. women’s hockey career scoring record at the Olympics.

Knight assisted on Caroline Harvey’s opening goal against Canada on Tuesday night to give her 32 points at the Olympics. That matches Jenny Potter, who played at four from 1998-2010.

The U.S. captain was retroactively given the assist upon video review more than 90 minutes after Harvey scored early in the game.

Knight is playing in her team-record fifth Olympics at the Milan Cortina Games and already had tied Natalie Darwitz and Katie King for the most goals on this stage with 14. The next one will give Knight sole possession of that record.

The 36-year-old face of U.S. women’s hockey also holds records for the most goals and points by any player at the world championships.

Knight has previously announced this will be her final Olympics, though the Seattle Torrent captain intends to continue her career in the PWHL.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
